The GOP’s Veep candidate is an evangelical Christian. Which makes you wonder why her 17 year old, unmarried daughter is already pregnant:
ST. PAUL, Minnesota: The 17-year-old daughter of the Republican vice-presidential candidate, Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska, is pregnant, Palin said Monday in an announcement intended to knock down rumors by liberal bloggers that Palin faked her own pregnancy to cover up for her child.
Bristol Palin, one of Palin’s five children with her husband, Todd, is about five months pregnant and is going to keep the child and marry the father, the Palins said in a statement released by the campaign of Senator John McCain.
Bristol Palin made the decision to keep the baby on her own, McCain aides said. […]
“Our beautiful daughter Bristol came to us with news that as parents we knew would make her grow up faster than we had ever planned. As Bristol faces the responsibilities of adulthood, she knows she has our unconditional love and support,” the Palins said.
Gee, and I thought only liberal, secular parents without values had problems with their kids having sex during their teenage years. Meanwhile, what a great vetting job the McCain team has done on their choice for the VP slot, Governor Palin. Gives me great confidence that they can run the country in exactly the same way the current administration has done for the last 8 years. With Christian love, forgiveness and charity for — well, for Conservative American Republican Christians, even when they commit a few sins here and there that the Ten Commandments and your local fire-breathing preacher says are all the fault of secularism and liberals and Hollywood and those liberal Christians who aren’t really Christians at all.
As for that vaunted Christian charity, is there any to go around for anyone else in the US of A? Do I really need to ask? But hey, do respect Governor Palin’s family’s privacy about this matter. And for God sake’s don’t blame her for the sexual sins which another member of her family committed. That’s strictly reserved for Democrat Women, after all.
Update [2008-9-1 13:45:0 by Steven D]: It seems her pregnancy is all the fault of liberal bloggers, anyway. Just as I suspected, I’m to blame. At least I’m not the only one.
