It turns out Bristol Palin, oldest daughter of VP nominee Sarah Palin is indeed pregnant.  She just happens to be pregnant a little later than the liberal nuts thought (we’re hoping?) she was.  So now liberals froth at the mouth just wondering what conservatives are going to do that Palin’s teenage daughter is a pregnant and unwed:

The blogmistress herself writes on the blog hosted by WRTV Channel 6:

This adds a fun twist to Sarah Palin’s ongoing romance with the religious right. Yeah, she’s a hot, pro-life “hockey mom” who hunts moose, but apparently she’s cool with sex out of wedlock. Ruh roh. It could be tough to answer honestly when she’s asked about the promotion of abstinence-only sex ed in high school, a favorite wedge issue for her conservative base.

I hate to break it to you Jen, but we will actually support Bristol and Governor Palin in their decision.  We realize mistakes are made and that people are far from perfect.  And even though in this case a mistake was made, we don’t view the end result, which in this case is a child, as punishment.  Unlike your candidate for president:

I won’t deny that some may indeed harshly and incorrectly judge her. I will come out now and say they are wrong. But believe it or not Jen, we will support Governor Palin and her daughter en masse.  We will hold the Palin family in our prayers.  As a father of a two, soon to be three, kids, I know they will and do disobey me.  I know they will not always believe what I believe, but that does not mean I will not love them.  And so when she teaches abstinence, does it mean her children will always follow suite?  Does it mean they will obay?  When your little daughter gets older, you too will realize, she doesn’t always do what you tell her to do or believe what you tell her to believe.

And when I view this through the lens of a parent, how could I, in any way shape or form, judge these people.  It would seem, however, you have no problem doing so.
