The Center for American Progress reports:
Obama is famously low key. That's why on the hit Comedy Central show "Key & Peele", Keegan-Michael Key plays "Luther, President Obama's anger translator". The [annual White House Correspondents' Association dinner], however, is a rare place where the President can cut loose--as long as he uses humor.
In a hilarious admission that he has been too low key to convey the moral outrage justified by humanity's myopic march toward self-destruction--and by the brazen denial of climate science by many conservatives--Obama brought out "Luther" to express that outrage. And then, in an ingenious twist, Obama became so outraged that he didn't need Luther and in fact Luther himself couldn't take the genuinely angry Obama, who says of denial, "What kind of stupid, shortsighted, irresponsible, bull-"
Here's a video of the event.

We're also finally changing our social codes so that a woman not having children isn't seen as having some kind of character flaw.
I agree. Sorta. I fail to see the problem with people taking themselves out of the gene pool. The future will belong to those who show up, and progressives are reproducing far below replacement rate. Where is the problem, other than we sane folk have to manage to survive your team's idiocy long enough for you to breed yourselves out of our way.

Ah, a right winger whose beliefs are based almost entirely on lies or fairy tales claiming to be one of the "sane" folks.

You know, this is the thing: where do you think all progressives, liberals, socialists, Social Justice Warriors, et cetera, come from? Yes, just like gays, they come from straight conservative parents!! Being a rightwing nut-job is not an inheritable condition! Well, unless you are a Cheney, or a Bush, or a Koch, but then I think it is more about the money than genes. Your fiendishly clever plan to survive either Global Warming or the attempts to reverse it (or, the Great Arklesiezure!) will fail!!

The majority of people who believe[1] as you do tend to not be especially affluent.
They have to spread what limited resources they have over what spawn they generate.
The Progressive couple who chose to have 1 kid can dedicate all of their resources to that 1 resource sink.
With a for-profit educational system in place, their 1 kid will likely become the well-educated overlord and the spawn of your group will be the less-educated serfs.
Your little revolution is a silly fantasy.
[1] Notice that I didn't say "think".
