You haven’t a clue what you’re talking about.
Conservatives are for people. We understand that people make mistakes in life, and we’d rejoice that she was keeping the baby.
put the crack pipe down!
You havent a clue what youre talking about.There's two different types of "conservatives". Ideological conservatives and what I call "Conservatarians". Ideological conservatives actually believe in something and have a coherent set of beliefs(e.g., that the soul begins life at conception, the soul provides free will if people use their free will to abuse others they must be punished etc...).Conservatives are for people. We understand that people make mistakes in life, and wed rejoice that she was keeping the baby.

Conservatarians treat politics like a sports team. They root for the "conservatives". Anything conservatives do is justified anything democrats do is proof of their inherent evil, rather than misguided ideology.
TomServo has a point, there are plenty of Conservatarians on FR that will defend or equivocate actions by supposed "conservatives" even if those actions are completely contrary to conservative principles.
The only problem with the above, (and yes, I do agree with you very much!)is that there are a few people who seem to be “conservatives” on these threads, who are putting Bristol down. They are saying she should’ve “kept her legs closed”, calling her a “trollop” (which is the same as a “whore”, incidentally) etc... and that’s disgusting! And oh yes, condemning her mother and father for her being in that position!
I don’t know what to say about these people, or to them. They may be conservatives, but they certainly are not compassionate! Seems to me that a man said long ago “Let those with the least sin cast the first stone.” I think they forgot about that. They need to be reminded of that, if they ever read it in the first place!
I sure hope these people are with the “least sin” category; otherwise, I’d say they are hypocrites! These insinuations are some of the nastiest and most cruel as I’ve ever heard!
