Anti-family activists like using the word "choice". What they don't like is when someone chooses to ignore the "choices" they promote. If the story was about a woman having 16 abortions, every leftie journalist would be up in arms defending her. But when a mother chooses to have 16 babies instead, that drives some of them nuts. Mark Morford, SF Gate Columnist named his article "God does not want 16 kids". Ironically, a man who'd never set foot in a church thinks he knows best what God doesn't want. Morford doesn't bother to hide his hatred towards the Duggar family and their 16 children. He refers to parents as "homophobic neo-Christians". The children, as he sees them, are "über-white future Wal-Mart shoppers" and "rug rats", that are "hungry", "mewling", "attention-deprived", "with alarmingly bad hair".
If you replace "Christians", "right-wingers" etc with "Jews" and "progressive", "intellectual" etc - with "Germans" or "Aryan race", the article will look like a quote from the "Mein Kampf". Replace "spotless" and "über-white" with "black" or "African" - and you got yourself a hefty fine (if not worse) for racism and hate-mongering. Especially with all the graphic language and cynical remarks Morford makes, describing Michelle Duggar and her ability to give birth more than once or twice in a lifetime.
But why would the Duggar kids bother Morford so much? Here's why:
Where is, in other words, the funky tattooed intellectual poetess who, along with her genius anarchist husband, is popping out 16 funky progressive intellectually curious fashion-forward pagan offspring to answer the Duggar's squad of über-white future Wal-Mart shoppers? Where is the liberal, spiritualized, pro-sex flip side? Verily I say unto thee, it ain't lookin' good.Morford pretends to believe that those on the left decide not to have children because of the environmental concerns. But I bet he knows that the actual reason has nothing to do with the environment. That his "funky tattooed intellectual poetess" simply wants nothing but pleasure for herself and so is her "genius anarchist" boyfriend (not even a husband). That they both view children as a financial burden and an obstacle to having their "fun". That even if the poetess miraculously becomes pregnant (despite all the pills and rubber) - she'll most likely "choose" to put the baby to death before he gets the chance to see daylight.
That's what makes him mad. Morford has figured out that the culture he promotes so vigorously has brought the society (and especially those in the "liberal, spiritualized, pro-sex" camp) to a biological dead end. Now he's frustrated that some families don't have those lemming instincts. But while he was out there yelling "stop them!", Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are about to have another baby. Way to go Jim Bob and Michelle!Related post by Suzanne
