– UPDATE – John “make more babies” Gibson crowned a runner up for “Worst Person in the World” tonight by Keith.

Ladies, the people over at Fox “News” want us to get our priorities
straight. They're evidently worried about all the Hispanics about to be given
“amnesty.” They're also concerned that there will be a majority of
Hispanics in this country if we uppity women don't get busy and do what we were
put on earth to do. Make more babies. Now, mind you, I'm all for having the
sex. I'm also all for women having children and couples enjoying their families,
but really, the incentive for us to do so is just another scary idea out of
Bush country.

This plea for more pregnancy comes from the inimitable John Gibson, the man
who helped concoct the “war on Christmas.” John is apparently worried
that brown people will outweigh us whiteys. How fitting for John since he's
about as white as you can get, both inside and out. Hey, there's nothing wrong
with being white, but according to John, American women aren't the only problem:
“Euros in particular can't be bothered with kids.”

Another complaint by John is that modern life doesn't lend itself to sticky
peanut butter fingers. Honestly, I know a lot of mothers who don't like that
either. Cleaning it up is a bitch, so “modern life” has nothing to
do with it.

Mr. Gibson is also upset that Putin is paying people to have kids. Here's the
quote from Drudge,
citing Reuters: President Vladimir Putin offered couples cash to have more
children to halt a dramatic decline in population and called for a stronger
army in a key speech on Wednesday in which he shrugged off sharp attacks by
Washington.

Another part of Gibson's panic has to do with the story in the Washington Post
that reports that in the group of children under 5, “nearly
half are minorities.” Poor John, he's just so worried.

GIBSON: Now, it's time for “My Word.” Do your duty. Make more babies. That's a lesson drawn out of two interesting stories over the last couple of days. First, a story yesterday that half of the kids in this country under five years old are minorities. By far, the greatest number are Hispanic. You know what that means? Twenty-five years and the majority of the population is Hispanic. Why is that? Well, Hispanics are having more kids than others. Notably, the ones Hispanics call “gabachos” — white people — are having fewer. Now, in this country, European ancestry people, white people, are having kids at the rate that does sustain the population. It grows a bit. That compares to Europe where the birth rate is in the negative zone. They are not having enough babies to sustain their population. Consequently, they are inviting in more and more immigrants every year to take care of things and those immigrants are having way more babies than the native population, hence Eurabia. Why aren't they having babies? Because babies get in the way of a prosperous and comfortable modern life. Peanut butter fingerprints on the leather seats in the BMW. The Euros are particular — in particular can't be bothered with kids. Underscore that second point. A second story, today, reports that [Russian President] Vladimir Putin is so concerned about the declining and imploding population of Russia, he is paying couples to have babies. … Media Matters

But seriously, worrying about Hispanics being a majority seems a bit late to
the party. After living in Los Angeles for almost two decades, now in Nevada,
it's a reality out here in the west that doesn't bother most of us. That is
if you're not afraid of diversity in America. Need I say more?
