Bristol Palin chooses life. Now leave her alone.
Photoshop: David Lunde
The Palin family values the sanctity of life. They talk the talk and walk the walk. It is driving the Left absolutely insane beyond the farthest reaches of unhingedness. Now comes the news that 17-year-old daughter Bristol is pregnant. “News” that wouldn’t be news but for the nutroots P.D.S. conspiracy theories that won’t die.
The 17-year-old daughter of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is pregnant, Palin said on Monday in an announcement intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child.
Bristol Palin, one of Alaska Gov. Palin’s five children with her husband, Todd, is about five months pregnant and is going to keep the child and marry the father, the Palins said in a statement released by the campaign of Republican presidential candidate John McCain.
The official family statement on the McCain website:
“We have been blessed with five wonderful children who we love with all our heart and mean everything to us. Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. We’re proud of Bristol’s decision to have her baby and even prouder to become grandparents. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support.
“Bristol and the young man she will marry are going to realize very quickly the difficulties of raising a child, which is why they will have the love and support of our entire family. We ask the media to respect our daughter and Levi’s privacy as has always been the tradition of children of candidates.”
What will the bottom-feeders do next? Investigate their dating history? Hound them during their pre-natal visits a la Alan Colmes?
***
We know what Obama and company think she should have done. Remember?
“Look, I got two daughters — 9 years old and 6 years old,” he said. “I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.
One ticket sees this as a blessing. The other sees it as a curse. Could the core differences between the two be any starker?

Ed Morrissey shares his experience: “We have walked in the Palins’ shoes.”

I guess the trolls finished their dinners.
Stick to the Bristol story.
I see. PDS, no… it’s Palinphobia. Nice ring to it, methinks.
Okay. I’m now on notice with respect to your intellectual abilities. If I have to explain this to you there really is no point in furthering the discussion.
Hate to break it to ya but he has no desire to redefine marriage as between a man and a woman. Therefore, your theory that I would deny him anything rings hollow. Besides, what rights have they been denied?
How? How does gay people getting married infringe on your rights in any way? Really, my mind boggles whenever I hear this ridiculous argument.
Experience? Yes, I see that Obama is very capable of running a.. not so good, shark like campaign, but that still does not qualify him to run the country.
Where is his other management experience?
His Ayers school reform project spent 5 years and millions of dollars and had 0 (that’s ZERO) impact on the grade results of the schools it was supposed to reform. I say that was failed management experience. So where is the proof of his capability.
Sorry, I guess we are a little OT here.
I believe the term is obfuscate. It’s a word they know well. Well, they may not know it, but they do it well.
I try to remember this part of a simple prayer when I feel like slinging mud right back at the fierce leftists: …And if wicked men insult and hate you, all because of me- Blessed, blessed are you.
Forgive my mood for being religious here, but it also reminds me of this bible passage: http://bible.cc/romans/12-20.htm .
Let’s all remember that these moonbats aren’t quite in power yet. Thank God.
I am sad to hear that Bristol is expecting a child at the age of 17. It will not be easy for her. But I totally agree with her decision to marry the father and have the baby.
Rilly. Omu’s mind also boggles when counting to 100. Rilly. I think Omu’s little mind boggles a lot. Rilly. It’s in a constant state of boggulation. Rilly. Ridiculouth!
Somewhere, in some seedy portion of the internet, they got their marching orders:
-Deny
-Obfuscate
-Lie
-Ad Hominem attack
The latest batch of trolls are here to generate noise, nothing else. With the recent open registration so close to the conventions, we knew it had to happen sooner or later.
Here are the stats on Palin’s and D’ohbama’s experience.
Read it and weep–if you’re not already weeping–Ubu, Omu, whatever.
OT
Campbell Brown just called Tucker Bounds, “Baby”!!!!! Wow, can you say sexual harassment.
Hence you are proving my point. You have no understanding of freedom or the rights of others.
I will give you the chance to consider…put yourself in the shoes and lifestyle of a “non-gay” couple who are married… and then consider that someone wants to change the meaning of your sacred understanding of marriage to mean something like between a cow and a pig.
I’ll let you ponder this why I go back to congratulating Palin and her family for taking this adversity in stride, proving the stamina of the conservative spirit!
McCain/Palin 08′
Which is why we need a troll filter. Then again, they make our side look so good.
They are an excellent indicator of how good a pick Palin was, though.
The spike in noise immediately followed it and it hasn’t let up.
It’s much more than that they want to define the definition down, it’s HOW they want to change the definition: judicial fiat.
And there are many who think we’ve done enough to damage our environment as it is. There’s a reason the ANWR was designated as such.
She signed it because she was forced to. She could have refused, and gone to court, and spent thousands of dollars on fees and wasted lots of time only to lose, but instead she chose the easy option and signed the bill through gritted teeth.
Denying gay people rights is hatred. There is no logical, reasonable cause to deny gayse the rights they deserve, so going ahead and denying these rights anyway is most definitely the result of hatred.
No, I do not hate Republicans. I agree fundamentally with conservatism. I’m just disappointed that the GOP isn’t really about conservatism any more – it’s all about hating gay and pandering to hateful faux Christians.
Agreed!
Yes they Do!
Go ‘Cuda
Respectfully, please see this from Common Error in English:
Ergo, you are both correct.
Wow – thank you for proving my point. You really don’t have anything even remotely resembling sound or reasonable logic to back up your hideously asinine claim that gay marriage infringes on the freedom of straight people. Nice.
I am a straight, married man. I don’t need to place myself in those shows, but whatever. And I know for a fact that allowing my gay neighbours to get married is not going to weaken my own marriage (and if it would, the problem would be with my marriage) and if anything, it would strengthen the meaning in that I would feel like I was a part of something that wasn’t being denied to a great many couples for the simple reason that they’re the ‘wrong’ gender.
Are you seriously comparing the love that a gay male, or female, couple would share to that of a “cow and pig”? Please tell me that was a joke? Please?
This is what happens when the feds start to regulate toilets. Now you have to flush twice if you don’t want an Omu.
How did it get in here?
Doesn’t prove she wants to destroy the enviroment, but I guess to you it does.
.
If she is such a hate-filled, religious conservative, they could never have forced her to do anything, so that’s bull.
I can only speak for myself, but I am not interested in denying any gay person rights. Heck, being on this blog for the time I’ve been on it, I’m going to go out on a limb and say many people here don’t want to deny rights either, but your idea of “rights” is probably different than most. How is marriage a right anyway? Are any gay people you know of not allowed to be gay? Most of the gay people/couples I know are perfectly happy. Your generalizing about a whole group of people is misplaced and accusing those who have religious reasons for not agreeing with the gay lifestyle could be construed as hateful if we use your definition.
Hear me roar!
Hate to break the news, but “wow,” “ridiculous,” “whatever,” “rilly” and “homophobe” are not exactly staples of the “straight, married man” vocabulary.
No, no joke. To me, two completely different species participating in sexual activity is just as abnormal as two of the same gender participating. I feel for these individuals and if thats their choice, I will uphold their choice as long as it doesn’t FORCE the definition of my marriage to change.
Call it something else because it truly is “someone completely different”.
So when someone asks me if I’m married, they do not have to ask the second question of “what gender is your spouse”?
Beyond that, the method is what is most important. Judges do not make laws, but when it comes to this issue, they seem to think they can. Sorry, in a democracy, not everyone gets their way and no one has the right to FORCE others to change their definition of marriage. Again..call it something else please.
I was listening to the local ABC radio affiliate this morning (KOMO in Seattle) when they interrupted for a special announcement.
The announcement specifically said that Bristol was pregnant “again”!
Why on earth would the MSM use the term “again”, unless they were listening to and bought into the lies that the lefty loons have been spewing the past few days?
Sorry, that should read:
“
someoneSomething completely different”.Omu I hate to pile on but everone has the right to marry in this country. Nobody is being denied anything, you need to settle down (and return to topic).
Yes, I noticed on ABC they announced the story as a “Bomb shell”.
Hardly.
JamieD, me thinks thee doth protest too much. Guessing latent tendencies. BTW, you are a classic homophobe.
On September 1st, 2008 at 8:30 pm, dakine said: ?
Sorry, does not warrant a comment.
Back to topic please.
The argument of the ignorant.
Homosexuals have the EXACT same rights as everyone else. Any homosexual man can marry a woman and any homosexual woman can marry a man.
What Homosexuals want is EXTRA or new rights.
Personally, I don’t care if they marry each other or sheep.
I don’t care about this issue at all.
However, homosexuals DO have all the rights that the rest of us do…
Although I dont think that Palin’s sinful daugher has anthing to do with homosexuals……
It doesn’t matter what the trolls say..
After all the hoopla & the SuperBarack Halftime show that the Dems pus on, his Convention bounce was so easily erased by our girl just by puting her on the ticket. Once people get to know how capable she is, & once she gets into through a few debates with a sauced Biden, it will be all over for Obama..
We will win, & they will weep, plain & simple.
Your take at comment #191 makes you a jackass Jamie. Now, back on topic.
ABC also said that Bristol was absent from school for “5 to eight months”, further spreading the rumore that it was possible for Trig to be hers. Pathetic.
Well, if Dan Lee says so, then it must be so. He does have his own “political” blog after all. I wish we could put some dough on this one Danny boy. I’m a McCain guy from way back (pops went to Annapolis with him) and I’ll be voting for him despite his ridiculous pick of the most unqualified candidate in POTUS/VPOTUS history, but I think he’s going down big time sorry to say.
Ok Dakine, totally uncivil and uncalled for.
dakine, I couldn’t care less who you vote for, because you’re a good argument for IQ requirements & testing for voters..
Personal attacks (in the way of profanity) in response to ones answers to questions or beliefs is totally uncalled for. If you look at my comments, I have not used any hate or name calling. So why attack me as such?
What these idiots in the MSM and seemingly some on this blog don’t seem to realize is that this happens everyday in every city and town in America. I went throught this with my own daughter a couple a years ago and have a beautiful grandson as a result. It wasn’t expected, but you deal with it and move on. Now I have Logan as the Palens will have a bundle of joy soon.
Excellent Starlight! This is why ABC calling it a “Bomb Shell” is so pathetic. This is worse than yellow journalism. It is purposeful negative spin.
So Dakine would you be doing cartwheels if he had picked Joseph Lieberman for VP?
Lets see–Slick Willy gets serviced by an intern in the oval office, lies to all his top cabinet members, to the American people, and under oath—Fact. The mantra of the left and the MSM was it was a private matter between his family and his God. Now it’s open season on the Palin family. What a bunch of scumbag liars and hate mongers.
Some on this blog might be naive enough to think that, but I suspect the Main STream Media knows exactly what they are doing when they come up with their hypocrite criticisms..
Like I said before.. They are the ones championing the movie Juno as some kind of Pulitzer prize deserving masterpiece.. As long as there’s a moonbat family at the center of the controversy, it’s ok.. “Nothing to see here” if this were a liberal family we were talking about.. This would not even make the news.
It’s going to resonate enormously with every loving American parent whether poor, middle or rich. And yes it does splay wide open the prolife/prochoice debate because it contrasts the true American spirit of taking on the added challenge of an unexpected arrival in your family with care and compassion versus the un-american, selfish and detestably wicked ’solution’ of running away from such news by marching your daughter down to Planned Parenthood. Most parents will easily recognize that the path the Palins are walking is the way of love.
Oh eidelweiss, you can educate someone not to do something stupid, and many will still try to do it…at least she and the boyfriend are getting married and choosing not to murder their baby, which is what you would so blithely advocate (I really feel your civilized persona today /sarc).
You dems/socailists don’t have anything substantive on the Palins and you are so freaking desparate…you just make me smile as you convulse with innuendo today
Danny, save the school yard insults. You want to start comparing package sizes, I’m guessing based on the content of your “blog” you’re going to lose.
Jamie, you equated homosexuality with having sex with animals. That makes you a jackass and a bigot.
rumba, Lieberman wouldn’t have been my first choice, but it would have been light years better than Palin.
dakine, I’m going to let you have the last word on that “package” thing, because you’re doing a great job showing how infinitely retarded you truly are.
Do you drive a Monster truck too?
Thanks for the link.
Dakine said:
No I didn’t. Please re-read my comment.
Secondly … your attacks and language are completely uncivil and uncalled for.
I’ll let you know that any further conversing with you would be pointless, so I am announcing my silence to any additional comments that you may post.
I gotta admit. That is one BIG point…
Not to mention that it assumes that teaching someone somthing equates to mind control.. People who say things like this are completely ignorant.
The funny thing is with Liberals, as soon as a parent tries to lock their child up to keep her away from a boyfriend, they are the first ones to claim child abuse! mental abuse!
Liberals are double minded at every turn.
Actually, ROB didn’t say that… he was just quoting another poster…
I am told that Rob is actually very bright and extremely good looking.
I sould have said “This is what happens when the feds start to regulate toilets. Now you have to flush twice if you don’t want an Omu…or a Rob…or a dakine.
Lay off the ad hominem attacks on posters and stay on topic, you two knuckleheads. Spare us the PC name calling too. This is the last place that crap will fly.
I believe Libs are still teenagers, that’s why they don’t understand and want to point the blame on everyone else.
McCain/Palin 08′ (you go girl!)
Dear Trolls and Daily Kos,
Fear. That is why you are unhinged and full of hate and insanity.
Fear. You know that Gov. Palin has united and electrified the GOP like no one else in recent history.
Fear. In two days, the Mccain/Palin campaign made 12 million dollars in donations after she joined McCain to win the election this year—-yes, we will win.
Fear. The selection of Gov. Palin knocked the coronation of Obama off the front page.
Fear. There was no bump in the polls, even after the second coming and near rapture on Thursday night.
Fear. The conservative base of the Grand Old Party (aka, for you morons: the Republican party)is going to be heard from on 11/4/08 in numbers not seen since 2000.
You have reason to fear even more thanks to the Daily Kos. Now go to bed.
And take a cow or a pig with you. It’s your right!
Re: this post, I knew Rob didn’t say it.. I should have clarified. Sorry Rob..
Not my intent…but Funnny!
I’ve been browsing the left-wing sites all day and am in physical pain over the vitriolic and disgusting comments that are being written.
I’m done.
What a bunch of sad, hateful people. The website hosts are just as bad, Arianna Huffington, being the worst of all. She hasn’t had a coherent thing to say since she switched teams after finding out she wasn’t going to be first lady of California.
I’m getting here late cuz I work nights, but I gotta say, I’m pretty surprised at the number of conservatives here that are all like “She chose life! How wonderful! God bless her!! How joyous!” (Granted, I haven’t read all 400 comments)
There is nothing wonderful about a girl of 17 being pregnant and unwed. So she’s not aborting it; does she deserve a cookie or something? You’re not supposed to abort it in the first place!! For people who constantly complain about the country’s morality to be going down the sewer (which is totally a hallmark of the conservative right, hell I admit I do it all the time) to blow this off as if it’s nothing is absolutely hypocritical. I’ll bet this has already been brought up, but what about the outrage over Jamie Lynn Spears and what her “example” sets for the “children”? Now, Bristol Palin is not Jamie Lynn Spears, but she is on the national stage now, regardless.
Personally, I don’t really care about her being preggers. She comes from a strong family and will be ok. But for us to sit here and say yet another pregnant American teenager is no big deal is pretty absurd. We complain constantly that America is becoming more permissive in matters of morality, and now that it’s in our camp, we decide it’s no big deal?
That’s nothing if not hypocritical.
This all shows terrible judgement by McCain and Palin. How could he offer her the VP slot, knowing full well her daughter would get dragged through the mud? How was this NOT going to be a huge story? She should have protected her daughter and said NO!
Thank you for your service. Without folks like you, our fast food drive-thrus would close at 8:00.
Odd. You seem to be awfully agitated by this thread.
BS. She’s marrying the father. Don’t forget that humans were procreating long before the institution of marriage. The important thing is that she’s not turning to the gum’mint fo help.
Jeez, you’re an idiot.
Anywho — welcome back, 30. Hope your vacation was restful and seemed longer than it was.
Fair enough. Those that get AIDS should accept their mistake, live with the consequences and not ask for public sympathy or assistance.
No. Spelling judgment with two e’s is terrible judgment. McCain chose Sarah Palin for his VP, not Bristol Palin.
How much judgment was exercised by the bleeding-heart Democrats in nominating someone whose brother lives in a mud hut in Kenya? Hmmmmm?
LMC:
And run the risk of being libeled as homophobes for denying them the joys of parading down Folsom Street in assless chaps and quilting?
I sure hope Sarahcuda is up to the task ahead of her. Otherwise in 2012 may I suggest Jindal and Bachmann?
Die Hippie, Die: Quibbling over spelling is hardly the strongest rebuttal. She should have spared her daughter this embarrassment.
I hope you said the EXACT same thing to Bill Clinton.
If you believe she is the most unqualified candiate in history. you are either: not reading all the posts explaining her qualifications over Obama’s total lack of qualitifications OR you are simbly brain dead.
People, it’s the 21st century. Girls who get pregnant out of wedlock are not shunned to the back alleys of society. What is so embarrassing about this for Bristol? Do you think she cares what the nation thinks of her? Well, she shouldn’t.
She should care that her parents are supporting her. She should care that the young man involved is concerned enough to make a commitment to her (though I think it’s risky to get married so young; that is something about which she ALSO has a choice). She should care about keeping herself healthy and choosing the right pre-natal care for her personal health needs.
Caring enough to be embarrassed by a bunch of outraged and judgmental strangers? I hardly think so.
And to those who would accuse me of suggesting “this is no big deal”, that is not what I’m suggesting. What I am suggesting is that this is not the kind of thing that should tear apart a young girl’s life or her family’s life, nor is it something that should disqualify her mother from holding elected office.
Clearly your reasoning is worse than your spelling.
If her daughter is embarrassed–an assumption on your part–it’s because she has a conscience, not because a bunch of drooling Kossacks are inseminating their keyboards.
Bristol’s Mom isn’t embarrassed. Her daughter will marry the father and they’ll start a family.
What John-boy Edwuhds has done…that’s embarrassing to his family.
My money is on brain dead…brah!
Excellent point, DHD.
Obama has come out strongly telling the MSM to leave the candidates’ families out of the race for the Presidency. Didn’t think that I’d ever agree 100% with one of his statements.
OK libs. Here’s your short course.
Study hard. You’ll be tested for the rest of your life.
Speaking of Edwards – how many months did the MSM pretend a Presidential contender wasn’t cheating on his wife? But a 17 year old gets pregnant and the dumpster divers are flooding Alaska…
Think you’ve got this backwards, DHD.
So you would be more in favor of a pick that renders our selection to between two sets of democrats for public office…interesting…who then would have been your pick for sure then?
The only poor judgement was that briefly by a young teenage girl. Surprise, the best parenting in the world cannot trump a teenager’s free will and having a daughter become pregnant out of wedlock is hardly something ‘new’ in the history of the world.
But having a politician who is perfectly honest about it happening and who accepts the added dimension that this unexpected situation will bring to her and her family – now that is something refreshingly new and welcomed. There is just no kind of ‘mud’ that will affect people like that; those in a strong God loving family. Others may drag but the only result will be their exhaustion.
FightThePalinSmears.com now has all the smears that are fit to print.
Actually, Vicki, to be more precise in this case it’s being “pregnant befoe wedlock”. It wouldn’t surprise me if half our elected officials had found thenselves in that very same spot before their nuptials.
I wish the young couple all the best, marriage and a baby are major life adjustments even for folks twice their age. But Bristol has some tough blood running in her veins.
But is this good for Michelle Obama’s children, attacking Sarah Palin’s children?
Excellent point, purplepeep; thank you for clarifying the issue.
Here’s the extra special part – Kos refused and still refuses to run anything on the Edwards story! After all, he is not running for office. Now.
I just heard Juan Williams saying that McCain should have disclosed this at the time he announced Palin as his choice for veep. That is also the latest smear over at HuffPo: “What did he know and when did he know it?”
Wow.
This is clearly the most desperate time on the left that I’ve seen in a very long time. They are very, very afraid of the GOP ticket.
Yeah, I should have a nickel for every young couple who have ever walked down the aisle when the bride was enceintes.
Oh No! And this just out about Bristol’s fiance:
Well, that will be raw, red meat for the left!
Oh, no! It’s worse than Watergate!!!
(By the way, shouldn’t that read “raw white meat” – fish, y’know)
That was so excellent I just had to re-post it! All of those were excellent points! +1
My wife and I made the same mistake that Bristol did… and took responsibility just like her and her fiancee. Both of our families were disappointed, but supportive.
We now have 4 kids (our oldest ready to start college) and can’t imagine our lives any other way. Yes, its harder starting out, and I will keep Bristol and her fiancee, their baby, and all the families in my prayers.
I think you’re right… liberals are pessimists that gamble on the destruction of morals and lives… and celebrate when they “win”.
P.S. And “nero” should be banned. His comments went way over the line.
While it’s not the ideal, there is just as often something to be gained from sharing tough times – as I expect you already know. We usually don’t see it too clearly at the time, but that’s the nature of life – experiences and the wisdom gleaned from them are cumulative things.
You are so right, dominigan . Those who refuse to appropriate grace into their lives cannot begin to extend any grace to others. Neither, apparently, can they even tolerate it, let alone understand it, when others do.
True. You just don’t run into a whole lot of Conservative anarchists, do ya? To Democrats they are respected heroes, e.g. William Ayers.
How will this all play out? It all depends on whether the loony lefties have the brains and the discipline to follow Obama’s injunction and shut up. I would say that to many Americans, those who make excuses in public for Bristol’s out-of-wedlock pregnancy while preaching puritanism to the rest of us smell of hypocrisy and scandal, while the MSM are likely to start asking what did McCain know and when did he know it. However, since the nutroots are too stupid to spare dragging Bristol through the mud instead of letting us ordinary people form our own opinion in silence, this issue will benefit nobody and the public will feel slimed IMHO. Wouldn’t it be nice to debate real issues, such as national security and illegal immigration?
This should not be a political issue.. Glass houses….
