Wow! This election has been a little bit O.O.C as Mariah Carrey would say (she stole it from me!) and this "Palin's daughter is pregnant" is pure insanity and once again proves again how complicated politics is.
The whole thing really makes me sick. So here's the deal - Sarah Palin, the 2 year governer of Alaska and Republican vice-presidential nominee, has a 17 year old daughter who got knocked up. And no folks, she ain't married. Now instead of denouncing her as a hypocrite, a bad mother, and someone who is unfit to run for the second highest position in the US government, the Christian right is rallying around her, PRAISING her to heaven for the support she is showing her daughter and lauder the daughter's decision to keep the child. One of the Republican reps tonight called her a hero on Larry King and I wanted to barf all over her. What really just makes me irate is the scorn and moral highground these evangelical assholes claim to stand on, even though they are just they same as everyone else! Palin and all these other fuck-holes preach abstinence, yet not one of them spoke of the irresponsibility of the daughter, or the mother for not keeping better tabs or TEACHING HER ABOUT BIRTH CONTROL. No no no! This baby is a blessing and this family loves each other and supports life! Praise Jesus! Oh and all you homosexuals? You're doomed to hell. It kind of makes me feel icky when I think about butt sex so I'm going to deny you the right to marry. Yeah, we've got to DEFEND marriage from you guys!! We've got to keep it nice and clean so that immature, irresponsible kids can get married when they have a baby. After all, how are they going to get divorced 2 years later and totally fuck up the kids childhood if they don't get married. Yeah, gotta ammend that constitution. What a good day. Now I'm just going to go smoke some crystal meth, hire a gay hooker and call it a day. Amen.
Ok, so those are some harsh words. Having been a teenager myself relatively recently and having wonderful parents, I would hate that they be held responsible for some of ghastly crimes I committed. I was a bad kid for a while there, and my parents had nothing to do with it. So I don't blame Palin. But it truly makes to almost sick thinking how terrible this baby is going to make this girl's life. She probably doesn't love the guy. Now she's forced to marry him. She's still in highschool and has no job training. Now, I'm sure this family is going to be very well taken care of, and she's very lucky, but she does not now have the luxury of taking her time to discover what she really wants to do with her life. Its all just sad sad sad. . .or happy happy happy if you ask the Republicans. Go figure.
