The one thing any objective person would recognize is that Sarah is not a hypocrite.
Governor Palin was pro-life when she had four wonderful, healthy, perfect, and adorable children. She was pro-life when she was told that her fifth child would have Down's. She was pro-life when her teenage daughter became pregnant. She is pro-life, and her values do not change simply for personal convenience.
Governor Palin was pro-military when she posed for photo ops with the Alaska National Guard. Sarah was pro-military when she insisted that she be notified of military funerals in the state so she could attend. Sarah was pro-military when she sent her oldest son off to Iraq in the United States Army. Sarah is patriotic, and her love for America is not a part-time act.
The far left fringe doesn't object to Sarah because they think she's a hypocrite; just the opposite. Their real objection is that she means everything she says, and sincerity scares them. That's why they like Mitt so much and want us to choose him over Sarah - he never leaves them feeling like he means what he says.
this article is a new spin on an old joke.
I remember hearing a gay comic on TV years ago say something like...”ya wanna convince a bunch of jesus freaks to become pro-choice? Discover the gay gene and tell them their baby is gay!”
They think that christians would rather have them dead - and when whackos like the Fred Phelps gang do their thing, it helps support this misconception.
And so...I’m sure the author of this article is doing a wink and a nod to the gay community - they think that Sarah would absolutely have aborted that boy if she were told he was gay rather than Down’s! That’s how hateful and bigoted christians are afterall!
So the author is mocking Sarah - pretending she never would have written a love filled letter towards a gay son.
What you say is all true, but I do believe the point of this article was to paint her as an inconsistent hypocrite, which she is nothing of the sort.
To liberals, hypocrisy is the worst sin. Their solution to avoid hypocrisy is to have no standards to be held to, therefore they cannot be accused of not living up to them.
I agree with your points on Palin.
