Hate to say it in this instance, but . . . . I told you so.
When I wrote a column about how Bristol Palin remains a single mother--a baby mama--and had no legitimate reason to prolong getting married, several worshippers at the alter of St. Sarahmessiah told me I was wrong, that these two kiddie-parents (the Palin daughter and boytoy Levi Johnston) would be married this summer.
But, you see, I never believed they'd be married. In fact, I thought their engagement was a fiction put on by the Palin family to help win the Presidential election. And, unfortunately, I was right. As I noted, this kid had a very pretentious name ("Tripp Easton Mitchell Johston"), but not what was far more important--a father married to his mother....
But the issue I do care about is who will be the next Republican Presidential nominee. And how so-called social conservatives continue, with a straight face, to praise baby grandmama Sarah Palin (and chose her as their conservative of the year). She was not at home, when the pregnancy happened. She was busy blindly chasing her ambitions. And this is what happens when you have a working mother and a Mr. Mom, i.e., the Palins. Now, Todd Palin can proudly wear a new title, Mr. Grand-Mom....
The only one I feel sorry for here: this kid, who has the misfortune of being born to a single mother in a family that has far more pretensions than actual good values. Good luck, Tripp. You'll need it. For your sake, I wish it were otherwise.
Sorry, kid, but you're just not the luckiest bastard on earth. Or even in Alaska.
(Hmmm . . . am I still allowed to use the word, "bastard"?)...

Greta will be there every step of the way! GO GIRL!
ok.
she is annoying. usually right, but very annoying
I don’t care how good a parent someone is, if they do everything right & make every sacrifice for their children & teach them the right ways - there are still going to be some kids that mess up! Yeah, maybe Sarah wasn’t home alot for her kids - but she was out there working to make the world a better place for them.
My mother was a stay-at-home mother who was very strict - and I still found ways to sneak around & get in trouble. I was just one of those kids. I hate it for the baby - but I don’t think this should be used as an example for why mothers shouldn’t work outside of the home. That’s just ridiculous!
Hypocrisy, thy name is liberal...
Why the Free Republic moderators let a loser like you remain here is something I can't figure out.
Not much point going after Levi for support. Bristol has made some decent money doing media interviews/photos, and can make more. I’m sure her income for the past 12 months has been a lot higher than Levi’s, and most likely will continue to be. All she needs to do is write a book, and if she lives modestly, she’ll be financially set for life. If she does, I’ll buy it.
In the Bible it says the leaders of the church must have demonstrated leadership of their family.
First you prove your worth at the smallest tasks and then move up to bigger ones ;it is a widely used method in most of life.
I am afraid that Governor Palin has had her moment in the spotlight and that she will rise no higher than Alaska's governor or possibly ,later serve as one of Alaska's Senators.(I realize that Democrats forgive larger mistakes of their candidates.)
Debbie Schlussel is a kook. And a bitter, nasty one at that.
Get used to it. Idealogues of either stripe are all about control and censorship.
This is exactly the sort of stuff I expect to see. And this is why I posted on another thread awhile back that I thought this whole issue would hurt Palin. And of course, I got lambasted for it.
Because Steve-b agrees with the author of the column. He is a troll.
Of Mizzzzz Schlussel.
steve-b has been around here longer than most of the mods . . .
What the hell are you talking about? What a stupid statement
That anyone on the planet gives a rat’s ass is disturbing.
and I am astonished that commenting in disgust on a syndicated “conservative” or any columnist who bames bristol palin’s pregnancy on her mother’s blind ambition and calls her baby the contemptuous term bastard...is defined as an “exorcism” or call for censorship.
say what you want- but be prepared for others to comment on what it says about you
sheesh
Does the name Kennedy ring a bell.
