Maybe it is a Christian thing, Bristol’s story is a very mild version of something we see all the time, her having a high school sweetheart is so normal that it is surprising to meet someone who condemns her for life and thinks that she has disqualified herself from speaking about teen sex, and pro-life issues.
While Bristol’s sin was a single natural act at age 17, one of my favorite conservatives is Star Parker, the self-described welfare whore and worst, who now is a conservative Christian activist.
She isn’t a good representative of “conservatism.” She is a SINGLE MOM. By definition, they’re the farthest thing from conservative.
No group has done more to devalue, decay, and hasten the decline of the United States over the last thirty years than “single moms.”
We are rapidly becoming a fatherless country. When did this become okay? When did unmarried parents stop being ashamed? And why?
The right thing to do would have been either to marry the boy’s father or give him up for adoption to a mother and FATHER.
Without a father in the home, your standard-bearer for conservatism has increased fivefold her son’s chances of dropping out of school, going to prison, and having children out of wedlock himself. Thanks, Mom!
Yeah, she made a mistake at seventeen. A really, really bad one. And she’s made no attempt to fix it. She’s just trying to cash in on it.
Since she doesn’t have the good sense to be ashamed, she should sit down and shut up. She has nothing of value to say to young American women.
I don’t think either one of them is a good parent.
Levi’s a doucheb#g and too immature to be a father..and she became a mother at 19, which is too young also to be able to accept the enormous responsibility.
Tripp said the F word on the show and Bristol and her sister Willow thought it was hilarious.. This is not a good sign! Looks like Bristol and Willow sit around trash talking and her son has picked up some bad habits! She’s got a long way to go and she needs to grow up.
I’m glad my mother didn’t give us to strangers when she became divorced in my early childhood, and I’m glad Bristol didn’t marry Johnston.
I also think the kid has a pretty good shot being with his mother, Bristol and being part of the Palin clan.
I like her work in the abstinence and pro-life field.
“Im glad my mother didnt give us to strangers when she became divorced in my early childhood”
Single mothers always try to lump themselves in with divorcees and widows — married or once-married women — to class up the category, as Ann Coulter has pointed out. Your mom wasn’t a “single mom” — she was divorced. The idea of giving you up for adoption is absurd, and you know that.
It’s also too late for Bristol Palin to give up her kid. Mistake #2, Bristol.
“I also think the kid has a pretty good shot being with his mother, Bristol and being part of the Palin clan.”
Grandpa Todd doesn’t cut it. “Pretty good shot” doesn’t cut it. There is NO FATHER IN THE HOME. That is the key. You can’t argue away the stats — he has a terrible shot. Again, five times as likely to have a terrible life.
“I like her work in the abstinence and pro-life field.”
Okay, fine. She also lectures us all the time on the importance of fathers — oh, except for her kid. He’ll be fine. Because he’s a Palin. Or something.
She’s no conservative. She’s something the libs accuse us all of being — a hypocrite.
She appears to be a better conservative than you, sorry that you fall short.
You, of course were 100% correct, but Levi Johnston sure had his share of fans about four years ago:

I love this kid. Self proclaimed hockey playing, F-ng redneck that loves to kick a__. I wish I could come out of retirement to skate one more shift with this kid and drop the gloves with the fifth column. Good for you son.
Very handsome. You did good, Bristol.
Hes a handsome sports star. This is magnificent.
ooohhhh. Hes a cutie. Im proud of him.
There were a number of reasonable remarks in that thread, notably this one:
I'm sorry, I just don't get this. You're proud of him? He got a girl pregnant. He hasn't married her yet. Why is that something to be proud of?
You're proud of him because he's good looking? If he were an ugly kid with glasses who got a girl pregnant, you wouldn't be proud of him?
This site has lost its collective mind, and is thinking 100% with emotions.
There’s someone, somewhere who should have full custody if Levi. A corrections officer.
No conservative says that OR EVEN THINKS LIKE THAT - SO YOUR LIBERALISM IS SHOWING, chump!
Best to zip the lip until you clean yourself.
YES!!! YES!!! I remember VERY CLEARLY all the Levi worship. ALL criticism of him or “the first dude” was inevitably and always met with “You wouldn’t say that to him; he’d kick your ass!”
