George Orwell and the Values Speech That Rick Santorum Would Like to Give

This passage:



"So I have to conceal my true concerns that are starkly reflected in recent data: More American couples than ever are living together out of wedlock, and the birth rate without benefit of marriage is soaring. No society can long continue to prosper without a strong basis in the traditiona­l family. It's blindingly clear to me what's happening, and the cultural radicals like Barack Obama have chosen to ignore it for reasons of political convenienc­e."



Seems at odds with this statement:



"Santorum, March 29: We’re seeing our birthrate is now below replacemen­t rate for the first time in our history and in all of these programs — look what’s going on in Europe. They’re collapsing­. You see all of these countries in horrible situations­. Why? Because their birthrate is 1.2. You need 2.1 children per woman of childbeari­ng age to maintain your population­, and in France and Italy it is 1.2, 1.3, so they’re collapsing and we are going in the same direction.­"

I think the Orwellian fact here is that Santorum actually is miffed that Americans aren't breeding to the degree required to maintain healthy replacemen­t rate.
