"Andrew Sullivan of The Atlantic immediately began circulating rumors that Trig was not the governor's baby -- that she had engaged in a huge charade to cover up her teen daughter's illegitimate child."

Wouldn't most people get fired from their employment for knowingly doing something that horrible?

If Sarah Palin were pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage, the media would be having orgasms in their support for her. It is that simple.

Pro-aborts, in order to avoid having their consciences bother them with their support of murder of the innocent,

absolutely MUST have every message, law, and more in society tell them that abortion is not wrong.

Trig, by his very existance, and Bristol’s baby, as inconvenient and “punishing” as it is, are a testement to life, and conversely, an inherent condemnation of abortion.

This is why they’re going moonbatsht on Palin.

Nothing shows Liberal hypocrisy like them going after those they claim to champion with PC rules and money.

Fascism is lifting its ugly head. It is the PSP (Progressive Socialist Party)

No need to fret, Sullivan will be out of a job at the rate he's going because he's just one of many dragging down the MSM by alienating viewers and readers. The attacks on Palin have truly turned off many who weren't really paying attention before.

"Told that the baby she was carrying would be handicapped with Down syndrome, she and her husband made the only decision their consciences would permit -- to welcome this child."

I disagree. They did not make a choice nor a decision. Conviction is not a decision nor is it a choice.

Yep, if Sarah were liberal, they would be gushing over her.

Sarah personifies a lot of what the feminists have said they wanted for women. Sarah has succeeded in a high powered professional career, and also has a happy family life. This is what feminists have wanted for women. Feminists didn’t want women to have to choose between career and family. If she were liberal, they would be happy to welcome her to the campaign, and point to her as a symbol of what a career woman can be.

I raised two special needs children including one who was adopted. Bear in mind, I had no idea that either of them was special needs until 1) about six months after the adoption and 2) my first born was diagnosed with mental issues when he was 28 but when I realized that this was so, I had a huge shift in my thinking. Oh, that’s why raising these kids was so challenging and instead of anger, I felt relief and love and grace. They are my heros now and not my adversaries. It took me longer to get there than it did Sarah but I think that’s one of the reasons that her candidacy has affected me so strongly.

Fully 80 percent of parents who receive a diagnosis of Down syndrome in their unborn children elect to abort.

It's absolutely barbaric that people will murder their own offspring because of physical or mental imperfections.

Committing acts of slander in the media? One would think a reporter doing that would be fired.

You're absolutely right. I really doubt that they weighed the pros and cons and then decided they would let him live.

It's unlikely that killing Trig was ever even on the table.

“Conviction is not a decision ...”

The convictions one holds are the result of the moral decisions one makes.
