Unleash the Hounds on Michelle Goldberg!

I've been trying my best to reduce the Snarkiness Quotient on this blog, but in this case I need to turn off that concern and have some fun.

Michelle Goldberg, you are hilaaaaaaarious! Every time I think of the article linked on your name, I'll laugh. Truly, you're a benefactor of all mankind. Here are the money quotes from Michelle's brain dump.
In America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It, the deeply stupid but very popular Mark Steyn predicted “the demise of European races too self-absorbed to breed.” Demographically, he wrote, “the salient feature of much of the ‘progressive agenda’ – abortion, gay marriage, endlessly deferred adulthood – is that, whatever the charms of any individual item, cumulatively it’s a dead end.”
Followed by this one.
Given this sort of rhetoric, it’s tempting to dismiss concerns about demographic decline as an anti-feminist race panic. The thing is, though, rapidly declining birth rates really are a problem, especially for the sort of generous welfare states that liberals love. I have a whole chapter about this in my new book
So Mark was deeply stupid until she discovered that he was right all along. Now all of a sudden, she's discovering that she can't pay for all of those goodies she wants to hand out because there aren't enough productive people to Michelle and her parasite friends to latch on to and suck dry.

The column is a host for three ideas. First, BUY MY BOOK! IT'S THE GOOD ONE, NOT LIKE THAT DUMMY MARK STEYN! Sorry, dear, I forgot to include the link to your book in my excerpt. Darn the luck!

Second, I AM TOO A LIBERAL! DON'T ATTACK ME BECAUSE I AGREE WITH THAT NEANDERTHAL STEYN! The gratuitous, dimwitted attack on Steyn is there just so Michelle can keep up her progressive bona fides. She doesn't actually support the claim, she just calls him names and wanders off. She's years behind Steyn in recognizing the problem and yet she considers herself superior.

Lastly, we have this: MY IDEAS HAVE FAILED BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T TRIED THEM HARD ENOUGH! Michelle is an imbecile. She is incapable of statistical analysis or any kind of data analysis for that matter. In her column she claims that the traditional family is not the solution. Poor Michelle, she needs to spend more time in prison. A lot more. There she will find out just what the lack of a traditional family does. Despite the fact that her beloved Euroweenies are failing doing just what she recommends and every social pathology strongly correlates with her suggestions, she wants more, more, more.

And Michelle, if prison is too icky for you, why not visit Oakland? I hear it's lovely this time of year.

    I agree. She does need to spend more time in prison, but it doesn't have anything to do with collecting data. Think of it as immersion shock therapy for Puerile-Nebbish Syndrome.

    You'd think some of these Gen-Y émigrés from Karmastan-on-the-Bay discovered the existence of genitalia.

  2. That was breath-takingly sophmoric. The article, that is.

    She admits that even the best case Euro-scenarios result in merely replacement rates or just below.

    For so many reasons, Europe is kinda hosed. Like, let's not do that.

  3. Snark is unavoidable with so much infantile idiocy loose in the world.
    Give it to them with both barrels I say.
