Hypocrisy, Thy Name Is Democrat!

UPDATE:  A statement From Senator Obama:

"People's families are off limits," he said. "People's children are especially off limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as a governor or her potential performance as a vice president. "

"I would strongly urge people to back off these kinds of stories," he added. "That shouldn't be a topic in our politics."

Will the Obamunists listen to their leader?

---------------------------------------------------------------

Back a couple of months ago, Obama was indignant about anyone attacking his wife or his children.  At the time, I felt if his wife was campaigning, she was fair game for some criticism, but certainly his kids are completely hands off. 

The news media, being the good little Obamatons that they are, dutifly complied as they should.

First, came a liberal diarist sleaze-monger over at the Daily Manure Pile Kos with the allegation that Trig Palin is Governor Palin's grandson.  It was tawdry at best and sleaze-filled at worst.  This was worse than National Enquirer stuff.  At least the NE had the goods on Johnh Edwards. (We knew that because he didn't sue!) This was based on nothing more than some hate-filled liberal interpreting some press photos that were not exactly the best of quality.

Now comes the news this morning that Palin's daughter Bristol is five months pregnant.  The announcement was made - in part - to circumvent the ugliness the left was spewing from the lowest holes they could dig. 

Of course now comes the hate rhetoric once again.  To write this, I decided to plumb the depths of liberal, hate and sleaze depravity and check out the Democratic Undergound.  (I won't link - go find it for yourselves if you are that desperate.)  The denizens of that filth-laden rat hole didn't dissapoint.  They started benignly enough with the usually cracks about religion.  Not content to leave it at that, they grabbed steam shovels and started digging.  From there, they guessed at how many young men might wonder if they were the father (She must be a slut) to the lowest of the low.  Yes dear readers, they are accusing the soon to be grandfather to also be the father.

It's doubtful that the MSM will drill to that level, but you can bet privacy concerns for the Republican will be torn away.  It's double standard as we all know.    The left will milk this for all it's worth. 

Teen pregnancy happens in the best of families - liberal and conservative.  It's happened in ours.  It isn't the first prominent political to have to deal with a teen pregnancy.  Sex is blasted at us 24/7.  It's greets us at us at every turn.  The lessons we try and teach our children are often offset by the louder messages of peer pressure, the internet and the media.  It's rare the parent that can compete.

This is a chance for the liberals and the MSM to try and embarrass the Palins and us.  Let them have their fun for the day and move on to the greater debate.

OK, let's not let tempers flare here,

We've indeed wandered off the reservation here and I really don't want to close comments, because this has been a great discussion. Just draw that claws back in a bit. SHeeesh!.

Here is the deal. Everyone of us have had challenges in this arena. We've all handled it differently and we've all done so with some degree of success. What worked for you may not have worked for me or anyone else.

We don't know the Palin family dynamics here nor should we. The point is, they seem to be every bit of a strong and loving family as our own are.

I think we should not be second guessing them, I'm sure we wouldn't want outsiders telling us how to run our family matters.

You have hit the nail on the head. The rest is extraneous. It is the HEIGHT of hypocrisy to express these things about Palin's family. And, as Rebecca points out, you express your private feelings in private, and in public you excoriate not.

"Does no one see a problem with this 17 YEAR OLD CHILD GETTING MARRIED!!!!!!!! And this has worked how many time in the past?? I can't believe no one can see a problem with this!!!! Everyone sees it as a good idea!!! I'm sorry but making your BABY get married is kinda gross."

Ummm, Kat, I hate to break this to you, but go check out your own family tree past the most recent 50 years or so.

Once upon a NOT TOO LONG AGO, and in fact for MOST OF HUMAN HISTORY, having children at that age was pretty f'in NORMAL. Whether you take an evolutionary biology or intelligence design approach (or you're like me, a Catholic who has no problem with evolution being the method that God uses for creation), fact is that's how the human body has evolved, for sexual maturity and reproduction at about that age.

The idea of later marriage and later children is cultural, and is only the "norm" in PARTS of this country, let alone others!

I didn't want a family at that age, but you know what, for some people, that might just be the best thing for them.

Believing that EVERY young marriage turns into complete disaster is a fallacy of logic - lots of them do, but guess what, lots of them don't either.

_We're_ the ones who have "de-normalized" young marriage and young families, for better or worse, there's no instruction book anywhere that says the 1.1 kids at age 35 is normal - in fact, that approach to demography has been disastrous for most civilizations that have "evolved" into.

Take the histrionics elsewhere.
