Good note from Dobson there...
Children are not perfect... and many parents wrestle daily with the unfortunate surprises from their children. So many parents feel helpless at times when it comes to the choices their growing children make...
What Sarah and the McCain campaign received today was something for the “i-hate-republicans” crowd to talk about but more-so they received a lot of silent sympathy and compassion. We also were able to relate to her family even more than at first when we met them on Friday.
“I make decisions as quickly as I can, quicker than the other fellow, if I can. Often my haste is a mistake, but I live with the consequences without complaint.” -John McCain
Absolutely! We need to stick by Palin - McCain’s choice. McCain’s a maverick who knows what he is doing. Palin may be a gov. of a state with only 700,000 people for 18 months - who cares! She is gold! Stick with it till the bitter end. McCain’s judgment is unimpeachable.
Christians are controversial everywhere. ;-)
Thanks for the post, SolidWood!
The press should leave the kid alone.
There is only one stand to take on this: it's a no-brainer. But, ya, thanks just the same.
"The media are already trying to spin this as evidence Gov. Palin is a 'hypocrite,' but all it really means is that she and her family are human. They are in my prayers and those of millions of Americans."
(*It was worth repeating!)
“Sins of the flesh” exposed in other people’s lives give some people the urge to put the knock on other people. They should be careful. A great sermon posited a theory - unproven but very plausible - about a famous Bible story. Some Pharisees brought a woman to our Lord and accused her of adultery. “She was taken in the act!” Our Lord began writing on the ground with a stick, and one by one the Pharisees left. What did our Lord write? It could have been the names of women - one name for each Pharisee.
I’m a little late with this (I work midnight turn). IMO, the Democrats & the MSM (but I repeat myself) will overplay this hand (Bristol Palin’s pregnancy). Its almost like the Democrats WANT to lose this election. Unless Obama Muad’Dib gets a handle on the unhinged left in his corner, he will lose this election by a large margin. Most Americans are not thrilled at attacks on teenage girls. I’m not a huge Dobson fan, but he’s not wrong here.
Well, of course, he would say this. He is a Christian. And he is right.
I don’t see it this way, sorry. I’ve been wrestling this one since I heard about it, and where I come down is - this isn’t the right example for teenage girls - to hear something like this, and for it to be celebrated the way it is. Just a few months ago, some 7-8 girls at a high school all agreed to get pregnant at the same time. A baby needs a family- a stable family. I’m glad that life was chosen in the case of Palin’s daughter, but its not right. Not at that age.
Call me old fashioned but thats why women should stay home and not the father- I doubt Sarah would have let this happen if she were on it.
Dr. Dobson is correct. Thanks for posting.
The jackals on the left are hoping the evangelical crowd will be duped into not supporting McCain/Palin- so that pro partial birth abortion Obama can win the upcoming election.
They (left) must be shocked to discover that most Christian's are not falling for it. The (lefties) never get the part where Jesus came to save the sinners. We are all sinners. They always miss that part.
IMO- Sarah, is an "outside Washington", "down to earth folks"- person. We haven't had this type running for office, in a long time. (She has a great record too.) It's refreshing. What family doesn't have problems to deal with? What family is perfect? Any family can relate to what they are going through on some level.
I agree with Dobson- the voting public will not be pleased with the attacks on Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter, anymore than they liked the attacks on Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter- which didn't go over at all.
It will be interesting to see how Sarah handles this first challenge. It's a teachable moment, I think.
Anyway, Prayers being said, this is only the beginning of the slime campaign.
Great article- BUMP
It is the "progressive" critics who are being hypocrites. How the heck can they routinely excuse "hooking up" between teenagers, and a "woman's right to choose", and yet condemn Palin or her daughter for anything?
This misguided mud slinging will bite them in the butt.
“uncontroversial”
The word “controversial” just means that the God-hating death eaters hate a person or an idea.
There must be many Christian families that are dealing with similar situations with their own children having children.
No one is perfect. We just have to deal with our imperfections as gracefully as possible.
Hard to believe isn't it? Especially since he is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. He opposes all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc.
Hmmm... where have I read this before?
