I posted on the subject of declining birth rates in this country awhile back here based on a column in USA Today by Phillip Longman of the New America Foundation run (at the time) by Ted Halstead and James Fallows. Their argument seemed to be that, if you had kids, you were conservative, but if you didn’t, you were some kind of liberal scum not contributing to the betterment of society (or something).I recalled this because of this story from Der Spiegel about a talk show host named Eva Herman who uttered the following about Nazi Germany and the role of women during those dark days…
"It was a gruesome time with a totally crazy and highly dangerous leader who led the Germans into ruin as we all know. But there was at the time also something good, and that is the values, that is the children, that is the families, that is a togetherness -- it was all abolished, there was nothing left," Herman said.Wow-wee, uncle Adolf, I think somebody just goose-stepped herself into a big puddle of Würfelspiel.
The program director for ARD's northern division Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR), Volker Herres, said Herman had been sacked with immediate effect. "Frau Herman is free to carry on her 'motherhood crusade', but this is no longer compatible with her role as an NDR TV presenter."No....really?
He said guests had been cancelling their appearances on Herman's talk show in response to her public statements on motherhood.
And as we know, the Kriegsmarine featured a version of “The Love Boat” specifically tailored for The Reich so that couples could conceive and thus qualify for “The Mother’s Cross” as part of the “Lebensborn,” right? And the Anschluss was nothing but a merry romp through the Austrian woods, wasn’t it? I mean, what else could the von Trapp family have been singing about, then (oh, wait…).
Since Frau Herman has apparently fallen out of favor with her German employers at ARD, she should contact these life forms, since they would welcome someone like her with such primitive views of the role women are expected to play in an industrialized nation.
Sieg heil, baby (and she even looks like Coulter a bit, doesn't she?)

She should get a medal for being right. Birth rates are way below replacement levels. Anyone to argue with that fact would be a liar and anit-white....
If she wanted to make a case about declining birth rates and had left it at that, hey, no problem. But today, for example, in the town of Ulyanovsk in Russia, they held a “conception day” in which married workers were encouraged to stay home and…well, you know. And I think they even offered them a car to do so, and I didn’t see quotes about Joseph Stalin or Lenin anywhere (just me being my “anit-white” Doomsy self here).
