At times they're pretty explicit. Check out Pat Buchanan's "The Death of the West." Of course his code for white is "Western, Christian," but he's not enthusiastic about those Western Christians that live in Mexico for some reason. The subtitle's unsubtle: "How dying populations and immigrant invasions imperil our country and civilization."

Yes, what the whole left of the spectrum is missing is that Palin is the right's fertility goddess. No-one misses a chance to mention that she has five children (McCain did in his big speech, for example). Even better than that, she's sending the first eligible one off to war while another is getting started on her own brood. Which is of course what all viewers should get busy doing.

And since when was the right against teen pregnancy? They're only against it if it's going to cost tax money.
