Bristol Palin thinks it’s laughable that President Barack Obama’s children influenced his decision to support same-sex marriage.
“While it’s great to listen to your kids’ ideas, there’s also a time when dads simply need to be dads,” Bristol, the eldest daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, wrote in a blog post titled “Hail to the Chiefs – Malia and Sasha Obama” on Thursday.
Obama said on Wednesday that his daughers' acceptance of friends with same-sex parents helped prompt his "change in perspective." In response, Palin writes:
In this case, it would’ve been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends parents are no doubt lovely people, that’s not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage. Or that – as great as her friends may be – we know that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview.
In this situation, it was the other way around. I guess we can be glad that Malia and Sasha aren’t younger, or perhaps today’s press conference might have been about appointing Dora the Explorer as Attorney General because of her success in stopping Swiper the Fox.
Sometimes dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking. In this case, it would’ve been nice if the President would’ve been an actual leader and helped shape their thoughts instead of merely reflecting what many teenagers think after one too many episodes of Glee.
Oh, wow! This will be huge! Got to love Bristol...
Chip off the ol block....Very well done particularly the part about leadership.
That’s gonna leave a mark.
Bristol is absolutely right. God gave parents the responsibility to be the moral leaders of the family, based on the truth of the Word. He never said to abdicate that role to the kids just so parents could appear “cool.”
Glad to see Bristol continue coming into her own.
I think it's a gay sex lubricant.
What do Malia, Sasha, and Moochelle have to say about gay “marriage”?
They’ve never been gay a day in their lives!
Good one!
Why “rant”?
Of course a good Christian father would be forbidding his young impressionable children from associating with “families” whose “parents” engage is such vile behavior.
But we’re talking about Liberals here, who want to rid the world of all morality.
While Bristol has matured, her teenage years do not exactly reflect stellar parenting
Expect the left to point this out
What do Barack’s daughters know about being Gay? They haven’t been Gay one day in their lives!
How do we know?
ouch! that’s going to leave a mark on the thin skinned marxist in chief
No, not good!
It seems like Demo presidents always seek the advice of their children in world affairs. Billy Clinton sought the advice from his daughter Chelsea while the Nobel Peace prize was dancing in his head in an effort to bring Arafat to accept an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal.
You can’t tell me little johnny going to parents/teacher night is going to be pro same sex marriage. Ah, Mrs. Applebee this is my Dad, and this is my Ah, other Dad. Obama is a complete moron as are the other socialist democrats who so want to be politically correct they forget the consequences.
No, thank YOU for pointing it out. /s
I would suggest the chances are excellent it will not make you giggle.
