Palin a grandma again...out-of-wedlock again...

She put herself out there... She's a "public figure" and an unannounced candidate, and she trashes anyone that doesn't suck up or play sycophant to her wingnut ideas...

She's fair game...

Wait'll you see what's coming on Bachmann.....

(And I don't need your permission to post about Palin's hypocrisy....)

Well said, Sunshine! And exactly the point of this thread before it started wandering!

Probably a paraphrasing of Burke, but it's close enough to convey the message:

All that is needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

The damage to society wrought by the persistence of out of wedlock, single parent births, along with the unions that result from unintended pregnancies that may, or more likely may not, result in a stable home for a child to grow up in needs to be constantly and loudly preached. We have too many children trying to live their lives without a single place to call home as they are shuffled off between the one their mommy shares with her new man and the one their daddy shares with his new woman because the two of them but the cart before the horse and started horsing around before they determined that they wanted to spend the rest of their natural lives committed to each other and the children they introduced to the world. STFU? Not even close - talk about the failure and maybe it will help someone else avoid the same failure. Keep the failure quiet and no one benefits from the mistakes of others.

The point of this thread is that there is a certain degree of hypocrisy and irony in the fact that the Palin family makes a big deal out of advocating abstinence, yet they most certainly do not practice abstinence.

Oh don't slow him down... He's on another "damage to society" rant... (Still trying to figure out how he's blaming the "failure of society" on libs, while that paragon of Christian virtue, Sarah Palin, is the hypocrite whose kids are getting knocked up...(and knocking up)...

But I'm sure it has something to do with "wannabe national government"...

I don't care either, except when they tell me to not "do it" when they have obviously been "doing it."

I love it when trivial things that Palin family members do upset LJ so much.

I'm hardly upset... I just posted a link... If I get upset, you'll know it...

I think she's trailer-trash... But that's nothing to get upset over...

I absolutely disagree, PS. You are generalizing about single parents, single parenting, and the children of single parents and/or broken unions. I am the exception to your categorizing... I was from a broken union...my mom divorced my father when I was 13...and I think I turned out fairly well balanced--I'm certainly not "a failure".

I chose to have and raise both of my boys and knew there was no way either of their biological fathers would get involved...they walked away when they found out I was pregnant. I have had a full-time job all of the time I brought them up...all except 6 years was spent in the military as a single parent. Not once did I ever go on government aid (though there are some here that will tell me being in the military was "government aid"...whatever). Not once did I shuffle my boys off to someone else's home for a lengthy period of time. I took responsibility for my actions and raised my kids by myself. They both are aware of the trials of being a single parent 'cuz they lived it with me and both have repeatedly told me they will not become parents until they are ready. They make sure to protect themselves. So, yes...in the words you used above...we talked about the failure and it has helped someone else avoid the same failure.

Problem with your words...I do not count my children and the way I raised them as "a failure."

Rich Trailer trash,,, like Rosanne Barr.
