I'm Having Three Kids

Now this is what I would call a provocative essay.

It would be easy to write this guy off as a right wing nut, but he makes a few BIG, interesting points.

1. European civilization is in danger of extinction because of low birth rates. To sustain European economies, Europe will need to rely upon immigration, mostly Muslim immigrants, who tend to be less than favorable towards Western democracy (for instance that 60% of Muslims in Britian are in favor of sharia.) Uhhhhh...

*Note the CIA predicts that by 2020, the EU will not exist

2. "The great thing about multiculturalism is that it doesn’t involve knowing anything about other cultures—the capital of Bhutan, the principal exports of Malawi, who cares? All it requires is feeling good about other cultures. It’s fundamentally a fraud, and I would argue was subliminally accepted on that basis. Most adherents to the idea that all cultures are equal don’t want to live in anything but an advanced western society: Multiculturalism means your kid has to learn some wretched native dirge for the school holiday concert instead of getting to sing “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” or that your holistic masseuse uses techniques developed from Native American spirituality, but not that you or anyone you care about should have to live in an African or Native-American society. It’s a quintessential piece of progressive humbug."

Ouch. But he's right, sadly. The only thing truly good about multiculturalism is a variety of restaurant choices - it's true, face it, let's not make it into anything more than that.
