Does anyone believe for a single instant that Kondracke personally is knowledgeable about the ‘abstinence’ positions of the federal government and the state of Alaska and their governor’s advocacy of it, and that he thought on his own to tie it to Bristol Palin?
Within a few hours of this announcement, the news about Bristol turned into an amazingly uniform-sounding pious, self-righteous argument by all the DU syncophants that “abstinence as preached by the conservatives and Republicans doesn’t work.”
Mort was just one of them, but he had obviously gotten the memo and was reading his part perfectly. Look for Alan Colmes to do the same tonight.
I know. There was a CSM article soon after that was on live about Alaska having a really fine impact on preventing unwanted pregnancies, but it was from 2006. I went to the Alaska webpage to see what the position was and I saw a lot of info about all forms of contraception.
I think the devils in the democrats are shrieking cause they know what’s going to happen in November.
No. And No.
I'm going to say something that might be viewed as controversial, and I'm not sure it really applies to anything...but here it is.
You can teach sex-ed all you want, you can teach "abstinence only" all you want, or anything in between. Put a man and a woman alone, close together, for too long, and all of the training in the world will not stop what happens next. It's a chemical and anatomical certainty. Right or wrong, right or left, that's how it is.
All of the sex-ed training in the world didn't keep me from being a virgin until age 35. All the abstinence traning in the world didn't keep me from no longer being a virgin after age 35. (four years ago).
I diligently wanted to save that for my wife, whom I've not yet met, and to reserve that only for her, once I marry her. It didn't happen that way, and the only positive about it is that in all my years, there has been only one.
For the last two years it has been abstinence. I prayed to not be in that position again, even if it meant I never again had a girlfriend. So far, so good. Lonely, but good.
And it's gonna backfire on the MSM big-time, I think. The Palin family has already dealt with this in the best way they could possibly have done. Most normal Americans -- those who don't salivate over sound-bite politics -- will see this for what it is, sympathize with the Palins, celebrate what they have done, and be disgusted with Obama's camp for what they see as his campaign making an issue of it.
Whether or not McCain realized the power of this "issue" (the real issue is really the MSM's disgusting voracity), he got a winner here, too.
