According to "historian" Michael Beschloss, children are a burden.
A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice.
Thomas Paine
Please forgive my lack of participation — truth is — I tune in once in a while for a reality check.
Mom went to work at a shoe factory. Dad took care of the kids. Eventually, they were to have 3 more kids (me being the youngest). So mom went to work and dad stayed home. Mom did the cooking and took care of the home. Dad was a skilled mechanic, and restored antiques that he sold to help pay expenses. We kids took care of a large garden. Mom canned every autumn.
So if anybody dares say a woman can't have a job and take care of her family, that's a personal insult about my mom!
The Dems better watch their mouths! There's more like me out there in “fly over country” who don't like their attitudes!
My guess is that all of these bitter critics of Palin didn't see it necessary to have their own families.
We have bitter, childless commentators digging into a person who has 5 kids and may be VP.
And I am not in any way criticizing people who don't have children. It's not for everyone.
Just the ones who chose not to have kids, and are now bitter at someone who chose to have them.
Perhaps you should tune in a bit more, maybe you’d see what a great executive, even-tempered leader Palin will be. Your accusations of someone who is hotheaded sound a bit like the leftist commentaries from last nights lamestreammedia.
Only 40 posts in the past three years. I suggest you read, read, read and participate in this conservative forum, you might actually learn something.
She can be a mother and beat them with half her brain tied behind her back.
.. and now Sarah also has a whole VILLAGE of citizens, clinging to their guns and their religion, to help her!
“Sarah, we don’t mind if you have a cook, a nanny, a housekeeper AND a jet when you’re VP!”
Even the cooler heads in the MSM can’t hide their sexism and bigotry. Basically, the Media hates social conservatives. They go nonlinear when they’re even near one.

Here’s how I’ve been bumping Palin/Obama threads.
Sung to the tune of “Oh! Susanna, don’t you cry for me.”
“Oh, no Bama, please don’t lie to me... for I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.”
I come from Minnesota with my laptop on my knee;
I’m goin’ to Free Republic my true love for to see.
It rained all night the day I left,
the weather it was dry;
The sun so hot I froze to death,
Obama don’t you lie.
Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I come from Minnesota,
with my laptop on my knee.
I had a dream the other night,
When everything was still;
I thought I saw Obama dear,
A-coming for The Hill.
The smearing lie was in Duluth,
The tear was in his eye,
Said I, I’m coming for the truth
Obama don’t you lie.
Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I’m off to Free Republic,
with my laptop on my knee.
I fight in my pajamas,
It’s plain for all to see.
I aim to be the next Buckhead;
The media all hate me.
I fell in love with Sarah
When my sister bit a moose.
The Guvnor’s family ate it up
And then they set it loose.
Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I’m off to Free Republic,
with my laptop on my knee.
She loves her sons, she likes her guns,
and Trigonometry.
The media will jump the shark
When Juan makes history.
Well, JimRob knows she’ll pave the trolls
So controversially,
And Berg will knock Obama down
With friends of Hillary.
Oh! No Bama, don’t you lie to me;
I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee.
I soon will be in Hawaii,
And then I’ll look all ‘round,
And when I find his birth record,
I’ll fall upon the ground.
But if I do not find it,
This Freeper’ll surely die,
And when I’m dead and buried,
Obama don’t you lie.
Oh! No Bama, don’t you cry for me;
I’m off to Free Republic with a laptop on my knee

Beschloss made an utter fool of himself with his comments this morning.
But what else could we expect from this quintessential eastern media/academic elitist?
From WIKI:
“Beschloss was born in Chicago and was educated at Eaglebrook School, Andover, Williams College and Harvard University. He majored in political science at Williams and earned an MBA at Harvard Business School.
Beschloss appears frequently on PBS and ABC. He is the NBC News Presidential Historian and sits on the advisory board to the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission.
Beschloss is married to Afsaneh Mashayekhi Beschloss, who is President and CEO of The Rock Creek Group, a Washington, DC, hedge fund, and former CEO of the asset management division of the Carlyle Group.”
Beschloss said his whole life changed when he became a father, and he didn’t feel as free (paraphrased) in pursuing his career. I hope his kids don’t know that he feels “burdened” by them.
It’s not as if he has a difficult job. He gets up, hands the kids off to a nanny and a maid, heads for his office and sits around all day researching and writing.
I didn’t realize that it is so hard to write revisionist history.
Mike should relax a little, and just plagiarize the articles of his fellow traveler Doris Kearns Goodwin.
I’m sure she wouldn’t mind helping Mike out, since she plagiarizes most of her stuff anyway!
The left will never understand capable, self-reliant people. The neighborhood that I grewup in mirrors your story. They were NORMAL people. The leftists had to have been coddled and shielded from real life by their parents. It’s the only conclusion that I can come to.
Hi, Troll!
Hope you haven’t been burdened with any babies that keep you from being a good little KOS Kid.
BUMP
Yep...What was it that the pretty Ann Coulter once said?...
“This,from the party of Bella Abzug”. LOLOL
