well I'm worried that white liberals are in the process of being extinct and that the foaming at the mouth types will soon outnumber them greater than 2:1.

That's why the government needs to stop paying conservatives to have kids.

Those subsidies are available to liberals too. The lack of liberal babies goes much deeper than tax breaks. It has much more to do with the fact that most white liberals value lattes and the theatre more than babies. Until that changes, changes to the tax code won`t do much to level the playing field.

Could someone please post some evidence that white liberals have significantly fewer children than white conservatives? It's like this entire board is consumed with binary anecdotes where all liberals live like the cast of Friends and all conservatives are like the Duggars and the Santorums (or is the plural Santora?).

Correlations are small, but they are there. You are right though, it's not like every Republican has 8 kids and the Democrats have none. One point to add, if a person has a large number of kids (Let's say >4) he almost certainly leans right. It's just that those families are very rare on either side of the spectrum.
