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"?)...

Criticism? You think the above article by Debbil Sleazel is “commentary or criticism”? If foul-mouthed, snide sexist low-blows and insults hold up to your standard for “commentary and criticism”...
I’m always fascinated by people who come to a thread just to wonder why anyone came to the thread.
Another fierce supporter of women everywhere aren’t you Deb?
This article is dripping with contempt. This is propaganda, just like most articles about Palin. “Baby Mama?” You mean like Brack’s old lady?
People who have cogent arguments don’t become hysterical when one disagrees with them. And visa versa.
Wow! Bristol Palin should be impeached!
Wait, what? She’s a private citizen? Why then would anyone post this pointless crap?
“In the Bible it says the leaders of the church must have demonstrated leadership of their family.”
So Palin is unqualified to be considered for higher positions in government because “the Bible it says the leaders of the church must have demonstrated leadership of their family.”
What the hell is Palin running for? Pope?
Please spare us the theonomy.
No because everyone pretty much suspects what Chelsea would have done... even if she originally wanted to keep it but changed her mind during labor.
The substance of her column is that for some reason
conservatives are exhibiting a willing blindness
to the fact that were this situation in a democrats
family our side would not approve of it. This is
readily apparent. If we are going to have standards,
then they should be for us as well as our opponents.
Yadda yadda. I guess you see Reagan, Thatcher, Goldwater, Buckley and Keyes also as absolute failures... you have to, if adhering to your standard of holding political persons responsible for their childrens’ mistakes, failures or screw-ups.
It is funny when this kind of thing is mentioned, isn't it. My mom stayed at home and *gasp* I still had pre-marital sex. The only difference is I didn't get pregnant.
I think he may mean that everytime a married couyple has sex, they do not really plan on a baby as the outcome, or think that they are making a baby.
Yep...you're a troll. "Astonished"? Show me one post that shows a FReeper wants to leverage the FD silencing Palin criticism.
“Sorry, kid, but you’re just not the luckiest bastard on earth.”
Ya think Debbie uses this terminology to describe the 75% of infants born to black mothers? I dare say no.
Another post exemplifying conservative
class. Really disappointing.
You do understand that she was using the
term “ bastard “, as a literary device to
make a point.
The opposite of Bastard is not B**ch.
I for one always find it depressing when
women use that term.
I totally agree. This crap belongs in the cheap rag magazines.....not in here. Leave the kids alone.
Yep
See post #71.
Read this thread carefully. There ARE post calling for this to be removed, this doesn’t belong on FR, the poster of the article should be booted by the mods ....
Criticism of the article is one thing (find and good), but calling for it to be gone is quite another.
If you don’t read something it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist or that other people aren’t reading it other places. Putting your head in the sand about it is worthless.
FR has it’s own Ostrich Brigade that enforces speech controls ... when they want to. They not only don’t want to read certain things, they don’t want YOU to read them either.
Note: If Coulter written the same thing, I doubt there would be an issue here. And we know what Coulter thinks of single mothers.
