God Does Not Want 16 Kids
Arkansas mom gives birth to a whole freakin' baseball team. How deeply should you cringe?
more:San Francisco GateWho are you to judge? Who are you to say that the more than slightly creepy 39-year-old woman from Arkansas who just gave birth to her 16th child yes that's right 16 kids and try not to cringe in phantom vaginal pain when you say it, who are you to say Mic e Duggar is not more than a little unhinged and sad and lost?
And furthermore, who are you to suggest that her equally troubling husband -- whose name is, of course, Jim Bob and he's hankerin' to be a Republican senator and try not to wince in sociopolitical pain when you say that -- isn't more than a little numb to the real world, and that bringing 16 hungry mewling attention-deprived kids (and she wants more! Yay!) into this exhausted world zips right by "touching" and races right past "disturbing" and lurches its way, heaving and gasping and sweating from the karmic armpits, straight into "Oh my God, what the is wrong with you people?"
But that would be, you know, mean. Mean and callous to suggest that this might be the most disquieting photo you see all year, this bizarre Duggar family of 18 spotless white hyperreligious interchangeable people with alarmingly bad hair, the kids ranging in ages from 1 to 17, worse than those nuked Smurfs in that UNICEF commercial and worse than all the horrific rubble in Pakistan and worse than the cluster-bomb nightmare that is Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise having a child as they suck the skin from each other's Scientological faces and even worse than that huge 13-foot python which ate that six-foot alligator and then exploded.
(snip)
Is it wrong to notice how all the Duggar kids' names start with the letter J (Jeremiah and Josiah and Jedediah and Jesus, someone please stop them), and that if you study the above photo (or the even more disturbing family Web site) too closely you will become rashy and depressed and you will crave large quan ies of alcohol and loud aggressive music to deflect the creeping feeling that this planet is devolving faster than you can suck the contents from a large bong? But I'm not judging.
This part is too good...
Perhaps the point is this: Why does this sort of bizarre hyperbreeding only seem to afflict antiseptic megareligious families from the Midwest? In other words -- assuming Mic e and Jim Bob and their massive brood of cookie-cutter Christian kidbots will all be, as the charming photo suggests, never allowed near a decent pair of designer jeans or a tolerable haircut from a recent decade, and assuming that they will all be tragically encoded with the values of the phobic asexual Christian right -- where are the forces that shall help neutralize their effect on the culture? Where is the counterbalance, to offset the damage?

What a hateful column. I mean, wow.
As long as they're not sapping taxpayer money and can afford to raise 16 kids, then let them. Is this a bigger problem than an inner city single mother with 5 welfare kids?
What is the point you are trying to make. That is wrong for them to have this many kids? Only if they are Christian? Only because they are White? Guess she should have got the morning after pill, is that your point? Come on make a point. I see nothing wrong with the folks having all the kids they want. So long as they take care of them. Or maybe you think the folks who kill them before they are born or even after are doing the right thing.
Yes, the idiot cracker monkeys breed a lot.
If the liberals don't like it, their only recourse is to get to ing right away -- and not the recreational, consequences-free ing for which liberals have fought so hard for 40 years -- I mean, good old- ing reproductive sex the way God/Gaia/nameless random powers of chance intended it.
You can't go get an abortion every time you miss your period because you're worried that caring for children might interfere with your cram-packed protest march schedule, and then complain about the lack of leftist kids out there.
P.S. How does the San Francisco Chronicle get away with publishing that anyway? Yes, I know "idiot cracker monkey" is a hateful slur, and I'm not claiming some moral high ground. But, man, could you imagine the firestorm if that had been written about a black or Hispanic family with 16 kids with that kind of tone? Morford would have been fired immediately.
Oh, wait, Morford apparently wants to find a way to limit how many kids people can have to save the environment. Or find something else to do with them.
Why is it that lefties keep alluding to genocide as a way to solve social/political/environmental problems?
Just come out and say it, Dan. The solution to America's problems is to exterminate all of its white evangelical Christians. That seems to be Morford's solution.
extra stout youre an idiot
republicans have 16 kids
and liberals have none because they get abortions all the time...
how can anyone not agree its creepy to say someone has 16 kids?
they might be family of the year

At one time it wasn't an unusual thing to have that many kids. They were an asset. Now days it isn't usual, but again I say: you can afford it and want them, have at it.
How do you not grasp that XStout was being facetious?
I did
Anyways, the article was a bit over the top; a caricature of itself.
Didn't seem like you did.
i was serious
I've never seen any liberals with babies
theyre all aborted
I don't really care that much either way. That family's birth rate is over the top as are the generalizations made by the columnist.
Eh..if they can afford it without tapping into the system, then I don't care. I've got to give them credit, though. I have my hands full with 2.
It is totally weird to have 16 kids, and that picture does give me the heebie jeebies, not because of whiteness, conservation, rightness, or anything else other than the fact that they're just so many of similar looking people staring at me.
I feel sorry for the parents sex life though (lol)
If they are enjoying the kids, then so be it.
godbless America and George W. Bush where we can families like this
They all look alike.
If I didn't know any better, I'd think they were from Utah!
I agree.
My cousin has a lot of kids. Not quite 16, but 9 or 10. She lives in Oregon and homeschools them all. And says she's not going to stop giving birth until "God stops her" from getting pregnant. Do I think it's weird? Yes, a little bit. But it work for her and her family. Who are we to judge? They aren't doing anything wrong.
My 9th/12th grade Theology teacher insisted that he and his wife only practiced 'natural contraception' and that it would ridiculously immoral to use any kind of unnatural contraception.
They did have a kid at a realatively late age, but only like 3 or 4 kids total.
Either they never did it that often or he was a in liar.
I knew two families when I lived in Ohio that had 9 kids each.
Just about 1.5-2 generations ago, families with 4-7 kids were common, so 9 isn't too far of a stretch
but 16?
In 2005?
Jeeze
They might as well start their own country
