Are Republicans bound to dominate the future of American politics becuase they are breeding faster? This is the unspoken prediction in David Brooks' new piece, The New Red-Diaper Babies.

He does not even mention that as time goes on, the minority communities that tend to support the Democrats heavily (e.g. African and Hispanic-Americans) are having smaller families themselves. See For Younger Latinas, a Shift to Smaller Families.

Maybe this is part of a grand schemme that the Republicans have put together - if the Democrats become more distraught about the future of our country based on right-wing rule, they will be less inclined to have children. That Karl Rove is a genius!

Then again, maybe all of these mini-me Republicans will rebel against their parents and we'll have a repeat of the '60s in the '10s.....
