“Do you ask US soldiers why they serve their country when they could possibly die?”

I was in the US Military and proudly served and nearly got killed. I would be proud of if my kid joined either the US Navy or the IDF. I encourage both.

However, I would not subject my children to this. This is slime. This is not heroic military service. NO FRIGGEN Comparison. If you were in the US Military you know you get training on how to deal with the dangers. There is no training for this.

My only problem with your line of thinking is where does it stop? Most people on our side who are God-fearing and moral beings will not run for office because of attacks such as the ones being spewed at Governor Palin. God Bless Her that she has the STRENGTH to go into the snakepit and slay a few snakes. I believe that her children will learn a great deal by the way that their mother conducts herself through events such as these and I believe that children are stronger than most parents give them credit for.

IMO, we need MORE Sarah Palins to stand up to the Leftist Media Establishment not less.

And the problem here is NOT the fact that Governor Palin has children that act like children and make mistakes. The problem is that all of these "Time-Honored Traditions", i.e. not coming out publicly on the nomination night of the other guy, not getting the CHILDREN involved, not slamming the President while overseas, etc, are always HONORED by our side but the Leftists have zero qualms about violating these traditions. The Clintons asked the DBM to leave Chelsea alone and they did. They did not give President Bush the same respect. They are now doing their worst to Governor Palin and her chidren, but something tells me that they will come out of this just fine and stronger for it.
