Things to think about

A young girl reading by Jean-Honoré Fragonard
The ironies continue to roll on. Feminists question how a VP can balance work and family while conservatives shut their eyes and continue to cheer for what they've opposed for generations. We can only sit here and shake our heads....
- Jeannie Chancey

And it's the feminist/liberal/progressives who are saying that you shouldn't air your children's dirty linen in public.

And it's the
feminist/liberal/progressives who are saying that young people should be taught how to not get knocked up in high school.

And it's the feminist/liberal/progressives who are saying that maybe the baby should come before the mother's career.

And it's the feminist/liberal/progressives who are saying that the decisions on how to best deal with issues like these should be made by the family, not by the government.

You might want to think on all that....

This makes no sense


If you didn't want the pregnancy to be the center of attention, why oh why oh why oh why oh why did you invite the baby daddy to the convention?

Bristol's Boyfriend to Join Palins at RNC

WASILLA, Alaska (Sept. 2) - The boyfriend of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's unwed, pregnant daughter will join the family of the Republican vice presidential candidate at the GOP convention in St. Paul, Minn.

Levi Johnston's mother said her 18-year-old son left Alaska on Tuesday morning to join the Palin family at the convention where Sen. John McCain will officially receive the Republican nomination for president.

The young man's presence could set off a media frenzy around the young couple as photographers and cameramen scramble for pictures of the two teenagers.

This is why, if you wanted them left alone, you leave them out of the spotlight. Actions have consequences. You get knocked up, you don't get to go to Mommy's convention. Simple
On Monday, Palin and her husband, Todd, said their 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, planned to have the baby and wed a young man identified only as Levi. The family asked the media to respect the young couple's privacy as has been the tradition with children of candidates.

Sarah Palin is scheduled to address the convention Wednesday night and traditionally her family would join her at the conclusion of her speech.

He's not family yet. He's not family until after the wedding.
Levi Johnston, a high school hockey player for Wasilla High School, is not listed on the team roster for 2008-2009, and his mother wouldn't say if he graduated. She said simply he's no longer a student and any further information would have to come from him.

You know, once upon a time getting knocked up and having to marry the high school dropout daddy was considered shameful in this country. What happened?

And don't blame the Democrats. Republicans have affairs too. But at least Democrats raise their children right.
