Biden Under Fire for ‘Not Second-Guessing’ China’s One-Child Policy

Obama sets record: $4,247,000,000,000 debt in just 945 days…

It’s not Biden’s fault. He probably has no idea how China enforces its one-child policy.

Joe should be more like Cheney and just tell
people off and let them know he isn’t going to take any crap.

The US needs a One Child policy. Too many welfare queens having more kids than they can support, burdening the public with their care and then growing up into career criminals when they aren’t wanted.
The Earth can only support so many people. When it gets overpopulated, like today, those extra people will resort to violence and theft to take what they need to survive.

Now, that’s what I call “pro-choice.”

Stop clinging to your good book and be pragmatic, for a change.

*******************************
Pragmatism can be one of the most evil dogmas of all.
During one of her visits to China our young guide told us matter-of-factly a story about a relative who was conveyed to a hospital for an abortion because it was their third child. Her husband had already lost a good job as a penalty for having a second child.
The woman’s mother helped her to escape the hospital and forced abortion that was planned. I could go on…
Yes, of course this is all anecdotal, third-hand and might even be false. The very fact that the story is plausible should give pause to anyone casually using the word “pragmatic.”
Oh, and I’m an agnostic, but I suppose that’s not good enough.

Good thing the media destroyed Palin’s credibility. That would’ve been scary to have someone that dumb as VP! Can you imagine!!!

I hope you are sarcastic because Biden is THE worst veep of all time.
How ironic is it that the left was soooo worried about an idiot for veep, and look what they wound up with. The king of idiocy.

My comments aren’t horrific; they’re realistic. China is too populous to allow people to have more than one child per family. It’s simple math. There are /too many/ people on this planet right now. By a few billion, at least.
And every child does have an unalienable right to life. /Not/ every egg, embryo, zygote or fetus. I swear, you people would give legal rights to ejaculate if you could.

“Get a grip. Some pregnancies need to be ended. It’s a fact of life, and it happens in nature. Stop clinging to your good book and be pragmatic, for a change.”
So who gets to play God here on Earth in your view?
And I am by no means anti-choice (well at least for the first 3 months of a pregnancy).

I agree. We should control population the american way, through wars and WMDs, through ovethrowing foreign governments and inflicting civil wars in foreign countries, which are much more effective.

Sarcasm acknowleged. That unilateralist warmonger Barack Obama should get us out of the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya immediately.

BIDEN: “Your policy has been one which I fully understand — I’m not second-guessing — of one child per family.”
That’s great. Biden blames the burden of the people on government rather than the burden of government on the people as the cause of China’s problems. It really speaks to how Biden and Democrats value tyrannical government over free people.

Once in this country, our leaders spoke out against horrible human rights abuses, we didn’t sing their praises.

Make no mistake. Let me be clear. There is at least one belief to which the vice president does not subscribe: It is better to keep silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt

“No leader has any right to criticize a socio-political decision in another country that has no direct external effect unless it is inhumane.”

So I guess FORCED abortions, FORCED sterilizations, and the abandonment and death of baby girls don’t count as inhumane???

Hey man, they warned me that if I voted for McCain, we’d end up with a moron for a VP.
Well, they were right. I did and that’s exactly what happened.
Heh.

“Vice President Joe Biden is under fire for appearing to condone China’s one-child policy during a speech Sunday at Sichuan University in Chengdu. ” – ABC News
Under fire by who?
Oh, I see, the Repubs.
For a second there I was confused because the One Child Rule is a Liberal Progressive idea that I’m sure the Media supports.

“I look at this as none of our business.”
That doesn’t mean we have to condone it.
“You are never going to learn to actually listen to what intelligent people say”
Are you calling Joe Biden intelligent??? Wow.

THE IDIOTS ARE AT IT AGAIN..NOTHING BETTER TO DO.

What, Republicans now WANT MORE Chinese out there taking away our jobs?

They demonstrate their dominance of their population with a cruel one child policy.
We demonstrate our stupidity by making heros of a family with 19 kids and encouraging population growth.
There is middle ground. Discourage exponential population growth worldwide inluding the US. Instead of giving tax breaks for large families we should impose a tax for each child. Any food sent as foreign aid should contain contraceptive. Require welfare receipients to use birth control. If I gotta feed you, I have a right to make requirements.

One must always remember that Republicans are pro-fetus because it is politically expedient; they have never been pro-life since they abandon support immediately after birth. Another example of their hypocrisy knowing no bounds.

The government is not responsible for raising our children.
Thank the Lord.
If you want the next generation to be worse than the current one, just let the government be your hired Nanny. Yikes!

“Too many people are breeding as is and many are not qualified to be parents. China has it figured out and we criticize it? Dumb. The planet is over populated as it sits.”

“There are too many people on this planet already.
It’s about time WE had a one child policy.”

China has a population problem but their solution is stupid.
There really isn’t any need for a one child policy.
The answer is in offering money for government sponsored voluntary sterilization, GSVS.
That way there would be a higher percentage of people not having babies who shouldn’t reproduce in the first place. With the one child rule, bad DNA folks reproduce as often as good DNA folks. Over time GSVS would be a positive Darwin survival of the fittest strategy.
It also has the benefit of not forcing anyone to live in a “government approved” manner which the one child rule does.

As usual, they take a sentence out and make a huge deal but do not put in the entire speech. So sick of people bashing this administration..it’s sickenening. No, you can give your views, but when people start blowing things out of proportion, etc. Some on these boards need to grow up! The VP said nothing wrong, he went on to say we should talk to each other and discuss all of this, etc.

Simple! Simple! Simple!……Bush/Chaney conquered Iraq and claimed it as the new GOP homeland……It is ten (10) years later and a $5 trillion debt to America……Someone please tell me why are they still here??? Why will not they go home???

OK BARB, let’s discuss infanticide. As an opponent,I think it is barbaric, immoral and inhuman, on top of being economically disastrous (imagine our budget problems if 1/2 of all the working age taxpayers disappeared tomorrow). As an apparent supporter (or a member of the liberal, enlightened and perpetually confused intelligensia), give me the pro infanticide argument?

poor old dumb joe.

Natural resources like oil, natural gas, water and forest are finite. Increased popupation uses these resources faster. The law of supply and demand will drive those prices higher and there will be increased violence to secure and control them. Increased population pollute more and the planet can only take so much.
As hard as it is to imagine, current conditions on the horn of Africa will eventually exist in most of the world. Most humans however are incapable of seeing beyond the present or they just don’t care about future generations so there is no way to stop it.
There is hope. Anthropologists theorize that over-population on Easter Island eventually lead to cannibalism and and total destruction of human population. Unfortunately they took every species of plant and animal with them. Some plants and birds have returned. Eventually other species will too. The same thing will happen to the rest of the world. hopefully the next dominant species will be more wise than humans have been. They’d just about have to be.

I did notice they were ‘based in the past’…so at least you are ‘consistent’. IT’S CALLED REALITY PEOPLE! When are you going to learn to ‘live and really THINK’ in it?

Were you expecting me to post facts from the future, sorry not psychic.
Regarding my examples and REALITY
a) 6 million jews in the “policies” of the Nazis
b) approx 3 million political prisoners (without a trial) in the gulags, another 6 ish deported or exiled (again without trial)
c) from 1500-1900 approximate;ly 12 million Africans ripped from homelands for the slave trade into North America
China- while some estimate the policy has conservatively affection a growth of 250 million the chinese gov’t BOASTS their one child policies prevented 400 million in population growth. So how many were girls, how many were forced how many were unreported, adopted out, had family members affected. Perhaps you should read more history rather than read and post “snarky” (note your last post) political talking points. If not then you and Barb just keep it up because posts like yours have continued to convince my once staunch dem family members that the current dem posture and admin is a much more extreme and zealous liberal party.

Well perhaps the current economic mess and unsustainable entitlements are such a problem because of the number of US populous aborted after Roe v Wade in 1973. The difference between us and China is their gov’t has imposed it on so many while in our country many have unfortunately bought into the pro choice lies and freely chosen it.

The country has been ravaged with famines, the reason for the one child policy, when the communists took over their policies encouraged having lots of kids because it was their belief it would bring a larger military complex and then realized it worked against them because it created more starving people. Unfortunately the casualty felt is among girls. However, India a democracy is more extreme with their girl to boy ratio, lots of women abort if they find out they are having a girl, they don’t have restrictions on reproductive rights and more than 1/2 of their population is malnourished despite the fact they are gaining economically.

God helps the GOP- Republican, if Mitt Romney or Rick Perry will to be elected as their candidate for the next USA president election.
In this context, China’s one-child policy, both of them are hypocrite, self-opinionated, self-righteous and arrogant; And as a leader, neither of them know the truth meaning of “The Bigger Picture”.
Yes, China’s one-child policy is gruesome and barbaric. Yes, it has led to great human tragedy and family suffering .Yes, the future generation will have the burden of ageing population.
Yes, China’s current & the next two generations have to endure the mistake of their forebear!
Also sadden to see that VP Mr. Biden has changed his view:- His spokeswoman Kendra Barkoff wrote in an email, “The Obama administration strongly opposes all aspects of China’s coercive birth limitation policies, including forced abortion and sterilization. The vice president believes such practices are repugnant. 
Its seems that all American leaders are unable to see the real world, other then their own!
May, asked the hypocrite of this world, what other alternative can they suggest?! Please remember the current population of China is 1.35 billions! As only the Americans value life and have the highest moral standing in the world, Should half of the Chinese set sail to USA as today…. ?! VP Mr. Biden, Mitt Romney and Rick Perry will be at the customs to welcome them!!
Slogans and words are cheap!! And the most contemptuous of all,is the self-righteousness.
The most sincere and true full of all the view expressed on Washington Wire:-
EP wrote: A view from Africa….
So if they don’t have the one child policy would you guys say “china is ruining the world! The over population has no consideration for the rest of the world or for environmental issues??????”
Also, if you have been to China, you will notice that some people do have second children! They are either fined or have to pay more taxes but it does happen.
I guess with current racism and anti-sino feelings of people, it doesn’t matter what the Chinese do, they will be condemned!!

I am a chinese,my best friends are two americans Francis and Jack,I believe your people are the most kind people of the world,and you should know how brutal it is to kill thousands of millions of babys and most of them was drowned in bucket by CC man or choked to death or sold abroad, CHina’s family plan is the most evil policy throughout human history,it kills lives more than any wars or dictators in human history, if your baby were killed ,what will you do? I can not understand how you can understand such a evil policy.I CAN NOT even show people my email address,because CC agents will search me and prison my family.so I use my american friends email. if you don’t belive youcan ask her.

Amazing. Biden in China…. at little like a mouthy bull in the proverbial China store. Mr. Obama lacked wisdom on this one!

The mask slips: For Progressives, “Pro-Choice” simply means “Pro-Abortion” and “Pro-Communist.” Joe Biden bows to China.
—Steven Mosher, the president of the Population Research Institute, personally witnessed the one-child policy put in place in China decades ago and saw first-hand how family planning officials used forced abortions and sterilizations to respond to women and couples who violated the draconian policy. Mosher is credited with exposing the one-child policy and bringing international attention to it.
“While serving as a Commissioner of the U.S. Commission on Broadcasting to China, I briefed then-SENATOR BIDEN on population control, Chinese style,” he said. “I know that Joe Biden ‘fully understands’ how women are ARRESTED for the ‘crime’ of being pregnant, how they are incarcerated and browbeaten for this ‘crime,’ and how they are FORCED to undergo abortions and sterilizations. I know because I told him so.”
Mosher says, “The Vice President was clearly pandering to his Chinese hosts. This wasn’t ignorance and it wasn’t a gaffe. Biden wanted China’s Communist leaders to know that he and the President he serves are more than willing to turn a blind eye to the atrocities committed in the name of the one-child policy. In other words, Joe Biden has perfected the kowtow.”—
