If you follow the news you see that Bristol Palin recently came out witha statement that abstinence for teens was totally unrealistic.
Give the poor girl a break. She's 18. I would hate to think what you leftist freakshows were doing when you were 18. Aren't you glad you weren't in a position for it to come back and bite you in the ass?

Speaking of freakshows, too bad we can't all be upstanding and moral conservatives committed to the sanctity of marriage like Bob Barr, David Vitter, Newt Gingrich, and Ted Haggard.

Don't forget John McCain.

Husbands who are lazy and don’t lift a finger in the house and a bunch of cheaters who get sleazy text messages and then you wonder...hmmmm..."do you thing DH is having an affair?". At least they are smart enough to break up early and not expose their children to the misery of living in a household with unhappy parents.

Need I pull the dozens of threads to show what a bunch of hypocrites you are?

This is very unfair. Most of the women you are berating did everything right - did NOT get pregnant before marriage, did NOT have affairs, whether liberal or conservative, have been true to "traditional" family values. And through no (or little) fault of their own, it is the MEN who have behaved unconscionably.

It is the Right, not to mention old-fashioned mother in laws, plus the usual troll known variously as "inarticulate foreign born former nanny", who are urging these women to stay in bad marriages, no matter how bad the abuse.

A hypocrite is "a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion". How are the victimized wives you are slamming in your nasty post HYPOCRITES? Perhaps fools, perhaps naive, gullible, cowardly, hell even stupid. But hypocrites?

Bristol is a hypocrite IF, that is IF, she claims to agree with her mother's abstinence stance and the importance of children being born to married couples. Personally, I do not agree with this conservative family value, and therefore, am not a hypocrite.

What about you poster? What are your beliefs on sex before marriage, illegitimacy, and divorce, and despite those beliefs - ever been guilty of being less-than-perfect???

Oh no, it is very fair. You are fair game, I don't discriminate on age. Once you start picking on someone who did not ask to be in the public eye, all bets are off. Again, at least Bristol did not subject her child to a dead and bitter marriage (which I'm not surprised to see most of you are in given the sourpuss middle aged women who frequent this board). I would suppose a lot of these cheating husbands are doing so for a good reason, I sure would if I found myself married to some of the shrills posting here.

I am all for sex before marriage, I did a lot of it. I'm all for divorce and I'm all for not getting married just because you have a baby together. I am by no means part of the religious right. If anything I find them curious, but I don't marinate in anger about them. I realize that this world of full of different people, this what makes life colorful and interesting. Thank god everyone on this planet is not a bunch of arrogant pencil-neck city pukes.

I just think DCUMs have a bizarre obsession with Sarah Palin and now Bristol. They have an unhealthy obsession with people who have different views, values, and lifestyles.

Who, now?

The right wrote the book on unhealthy obsessions with dissenting views and lifestyles that don't mirror their own.

I feel bad for them both. Both were pawns of the campaign, and it looks like neither was given the best information about how to avoid pregnancy in the first place.

I also think that it's probably best for everyone that they don't let their (non)decision to have unprotected sex drive their decision about whom to spend the rest of their lives with.

In response to the leftist freakshow survey, at age 18 I was a full-time student in college with a nearly full-time job, had a steady boyfriend with whom I was having protected and safe pre-marital sex. We both got HIV tested early on and used condoms for the obligatory six months-- this was the 80s-- and then I used the pill. At 18, I had the tools to take care of myself, and thanks to knowing what I did about family planning, I am able to have a family that does not consist of teen single parenting. That's what I value.

That's what makes every Republic "values" misstep so worthy of attention. THEY'RE the ones trying to define "family values". They would legislate (with a Constitutional amendment even!!) the acceptable ways to form a family, but can't seem to keep their own families toeing the party line. If they can't influence those closest to them, why should they think that the rest of us would want to conform to their rigid ideals of right and wrong? It's all just a bunch of hot air, and I resent being subjected to it.

How are they telling you to live your lives? I'm not part of the religious right, but no one is telling me how to live my life...

Actually she should take a bow. The PP was very accusatory about what "leftist freakshows" were doing when they were 18 implying that they too were 18 and younger having unprotected sex and not making responsible choices. The poster you are rolling your eyes at was simply indicating that this is not the case.

Congratulations on your same-sex marriage that carries with it all the rights that heterosexual couples enjoy!

Good for you, for never having had a pharmacist (protected under the conscience clause) deny you your birth control pills!

To all the snickering liberals who posted on this board about Bristol Palin, explain, please--I thought single mothers were applauded, admired and revered in your world. I thought the more non-traditional the family, the more you respect them? Or is that only if you approve of their politics? I guess I'm confused. Aren't you also much, much smarter than Sarah Palin--probably too smart to be sitting around posting updates on other people's love lives on the internet?
Just checking.

I read your post twice and it still makes no sense. Maybe you should give it another go.

Please don't encourage her. I fear this may be the best she's got.

Right, I'm sure every last one of you displayed the utmost in maturity at age 18. Actually, that could explain a LOT about the vitriole on this message board.

The vitriol is explained by boredom, stress and anonymity. One can be as nasty as one feels but generally never says on an anonymous board. It's nothing more than that.
