Palin's daughter gives birth to son

Yeahhhh, another teenage HS dropout couple bringing an unplanned child into the world. While I pray for them I also pray that others don't follow in their footsteps.

Two of John Adams's sons were alcoholics and one was a brilliant president. Can we get over this perfection thing? Some people will have struggles. They do their best and often their lives are redeemable. I think of someone in my extended family who had a pregnancy at any earlier age, a shotgun wedding. Guess what? A very happy and large family ensued. We need to lift up moral standards and also help those when they have lapses. I am disgusted by the gloaters who mock any semblance of morality because it doesn't exist in a perfect form on earth. It's a great excuse for them to do what they want, to be scoffers and haters. Those who offer no standards do what they want and feel good about it. It was never in the news the life Obama was subjected to as a child. Abandoned twice by fathers -- and his mother too! Certainly his mother was liberal and pro-choice. In fact, she was an ultra-liberal. We don't choose our parents. We don't have to be defined by the things that happen to us. And we certainly can choose not to be gossipy predators as it relates to the missteps of leader's children.

You'd think the Palins would be too busy exploiting Alaska's wildlife and environment to sleep around.

I just hope she doesn't name the child Jethro or some other hillbillyish name. Growing up in this dysfunctional family is going to be hard enough.

Congratulations to Mom and Dad, and welcome young Tripp! Amid all the shimmering glitterati, sycophants, exalted critics, and snobs (You know who you are!), it is so refreshing to find some real human beings in the news. May your tribe increase, flourish, and rule! Palin/Jindal 2012! Best wishes to all the Palins and Johnstons for much health, happiness, love, joy, peace, and prosperity in the New Year.

Amen, rancraw!

Recent research has shown that for mean and profane comments, the more liberal the page, the more vile the content. The comments on this article certainly bear witness to this phenomenon. The most joyous of human events, the birth of a new baby, greeted with such baseness and utter contempt illustrates this concept perfectly. Here, we can clearly see that the liberal thought disorder (mistakenly called a “point of view”) transports its victims to the other side of reason, and to the other side of civility as well. It is a sad thing to behold, and unfortunately, many are afflicted.

"Recent research has shown that for mean and profane comments, the more liberal the page, the more vile the content." Please reference the "recent research" to which you allude. If you can not do so, one can only conclude that both you and your posts are full of crap and that you are a purveyor of lies.

Marantha.Shalom demonstrates my point in his or her post. The requested “research” can be found at http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/aug/07/profanity-greater-on-liberal-blogs/ SHEFFIELD: Profanity greater on liberal blogs Matthew Sheffield Thursday, August 7, 2008 Poli-Tech column: Are liberals more profane than conservatives? Online, the answer seems to be yes. Profanity, those taboo words banned from the broadcast airwaves, is a feature of many people's daily lives. It's much less so in the establishment media world. TV and radio broadcasts are legally prohibited from using it, most newspapers (including this one) have traditionally refrained from its usage. That's not the case with the Web, where bloggers and readers face no such restrictions. That likely comes as no surprise; what may be surprising, however, is to what degree profanity seems to be a feature more common on one side of the political blogosphere than the other. Which side is that? For answers, I turned to the search engine Google to see how common swearing is in the right and left blog universes by looking up the late stand-up comic George Carlin's "seven dirty words" in the most popular blog communities. The results showed that online liberals tend to use profanity a lot more than online conservatives. (Before I get further into the results, let me say that I am deliberately making a distinction between blogs that do not usually allow readers to make comments and those that do. This means that some sites, such as the popular Instapundit or Newsmax, were not included.) Searching for Mr. Carlin's seven words and some popular variants at the top 10 conservative Web communities yields about 70,000 results. That is dwarfed in comparison to the 1.9 million instances of profanity on liberal sites. Things aren't quite that clear-cut, however, since some Web sites have more pages than others. According to Google, the top 10 conservative sites have about 6 million pages, while the top 10 liberal sites have about 13 million. Dividing the number of instances of profanity by the number of pages of the sites on which they appear, then multiplying the result by 100 yields what might be called a "profanity quotient." The top 10 liberal sites (Daily Kos, Huffington Post, Democratic Underground, Talking Points Memo, Crooks and Liars, Think Progress, Atrios, Greenwald, MyDD and Firedoglake) have a profanity quotient of 14.6. The top 10 conservative sites (Free Republic, Hot Air, Little Green Footballs, Townhall, NewsBusters, Lucianne.com, Wizbang, Ace of Spades, Red State and Volokh Conspiracy) have a quotient of 1.17. (CORRECTED PARAGRAPH:) That's quite a disparity. Liberals are more than 12 times likely to use profanity than conservatives on the Web.

Interesting to note that the BannedMoniques and USCitizen07's out there are aborting and contracepting themselves into extinction.
