Demographics Are Destiny: China Finally Gets It, Do We?

 

Quotes:

Demographics Are Destiny: China Finally Gets It, Do We? – John Stonestreet, Roberto Rivera

  • China’s total fertility rate isn’t that much lower than ours: 1.57 births as compared to 1.76 births per woman here.
  • Here’s why—this problem is a cultural one. As one liberal commentator put it, instead of taking the role of parents in our society seriously, many Americans, especially the affluent, treat having children as a discretionary activity, like collecting classic cars or visiting every parrot sanctuary in the world. This attitude is the stuff of which western demographic decline is made. Denying the inherent connection between sex, marriage, and babies is like denying gravity. We may choose to step off the roof, but we can’t choose not to hit the ground.

Quotes:

After Arrest of UK Activist Tommy Robinson, Dutch MP Warns: ‘The Lights of Freedom Are Going Out’ – Amy Furr

  • “Freedom of speech is being violated all over Europe and also in Britain. The lights of freedom are going out. Islam critics are taken to court, jailed or targeted with fatwa’s. The authorities try to silence us. However, Islamists are pampered, protected and defended. And that is totally unacceptable,” he said.
  • The video statementcomes after Robinson was arrested Friday on suspicion of breach of peace while filming alleged child grooming gang members as they entered the Leeds Crown Court
  • “We will continue speaking the truth about Islam and horrendous crimes like rape, genital mutilation, honor killings and terrorism. For we protect our own people. Whatever the price may be,” he stated.
  • “Tommy Robinson has been arrested and jailed for reporting on Muslim grooming gangs. A job that he chooses to do with no regard for his own safety, informing the public of all the wrongs committed in the name of Allah. Fighting against adversity and reporting on issues that our mainstream media are too afraid to speak of,” the petition reads.
  • Tommy is raising issues that are affecting all of our communities, and that are being swept under the carpet and hidden from the public.
