And in a related story Phillip Longman of USA Today writes about the demographic changes which portend the death of liberalism. As James Taranto of The Wall Street Journal has written, birth rates for liberal-leftists are significantly lower than those for conservative Republicans. In the most recent elections, Republicans votes came from states that have the highest birth rates, while Democrats got their votes from states with low birth rates. Simply put, red states are growing in population while blue states are losing population. Liberals cannot win elections unless people are present to vote for them, but liberals just don't have kids in the same numbers as conservatives and thus the future will be one in which there are more and more conservatives and fewer liberals.
