What Happened to Family Values?

In the real world, too many mothers abort the unborn with no input (or parental rights) of the father. This article is not only one person's opinion, it is flawed, inaccurate, and horribly biased. If these mothers are not aborting the unborn, they are callously tossing them in garbage dumpsters while generally not being held criminally responsible. The sanctity of life? Far too many women have never heard of it. It's all about them, ad naseum.

Nothing happened to family values, its all about a 17 year old having a baby out of wedlock, when the republicans do that is okay, but when it happens in the inn city, it will become a sin that will never be forgiven by God, because God is on the republicans side. The rest of us are going to hell fire.

I'm a registered Republican and a high school teacher. Watching the ideals of conservatism tank into a pandering group of religious idealogues has been one of the most upsetting things I've witnessed in my adult life as an American citizen. There is no place for progressive, pro-choice conservatives in the Republican Party anymore. The voice of reason gets shouted down by extremism.

The Palin family, like it or not, are symbolic of this hypocrisy. Shame on Sarah Palin for dragging her family into this national spotlight when they clearly have more pressing issues to deal with at home. As a MOTHER, she needs to re-think her priorities. Her AND her husband need to focus on the family for real, not just in front of the cameras.

Weisberg is a partisan hack [which means at NEWSWEAK,he is merely in good company]. Rather,consider the ''extreme''of allowing a fully-developed child to be removed from the uterus at the conclusion of the 3d trimester and then butchered,or worse,have its killing botched and allowed to suffer in a laundry hamper tossed away like common garbage.

Who is the real ''extremist''here Jake?

TO THE MEDIA: PLEASE INTERVIEW SARAH PALIN AND FIND OUT WHO SHE IS. We, the American Public have a right to know where she stands on public policy and how she voted!! These stories are not coming out of nowhere!!

Gov. Sarah Palin's church is promoting a conference that promises to convert gays into heterosexuals through the power of prayer.

"You'll be encouraged by the power of God's love and His desire to transform the lives of those impacted by homosexuality," according to the insert in the bulletin of the Wasilla Bible Church, where Palin has prayed for about six years.

Palin's conservative Christian views have energized that part of the GOP electorate, which was lukewarm to John McCain's candidacy before he named her as his vice presidential choice. She is staunchly anti-abortion, opposing exceptions for rape and incest, and opposes gay marriage and spousal rights for gay couples.

Focus on the Family, a national Christian fundamentalist organization, is conducting the "Love Won Out" Conference in Anchorage, about 30 miles from Wasilla.

Palin, campaigning with McCain in the Midwest on Friday, has not publicly expressed a view on the so-called "pray away the gay" movement. Larry Kroon, senior pastor at Palin's church, was not available to discuss the matter Friday, said a church worker who declined to give her name.

"politically damaging to the GOP?"
Palin and her views have energized the GOP. For many Republicans the campaign season only started a few days ago (!) with Palin and her speach. the political damage is being sustained by the Liberals who have star power but no substance.

Family values are important when its the Republicans standing in moral judgment against everyone else. I am shocked that the media went after the Clintons, the Obamas, even the Kerrys but Sarah Palin is off limits. Not too long ago, the Republicans said Hillary Clinton has a habit of retreating and whining about being mistreated because of her gender and now they want to cry sexism. I am sorry, no disrespect to the child, but this isn't a role model for my young daughters or nieces or nephews for that matter. The trickery has started. McCain succeeded in covering up his own POW records, his being an adultery and womanizer, and now his people are in Alaska trying to badger the State in covering up Sarah Palin's woes. They should have taken care of this matter before selecting her. Double standard america, isn't it funny the moral majority wants an opportunity to screw us even more by electing this man and this woman to the 2 highest positions in the country. They are trying to instill fear by telling lies, using the sarcasm, and working to blind side the American people by pointing out this man is Black. Well contrary to popular belief, a lot of community organizers are white, lawyers, doctors, financial people. Honorable hard work for scraps for pay. I trust the community organizer more than I would the party that got us in this mess in the first place. WAKE UP AMERICA.

I agree MEDIA please interview this woman. We aren't asking you to rip her apart, just be fair and tell the American People about this woman. Oh, why aren't the media reporting that her church doesn't support Jewish people either because of their religious beliefs. And did the media report the church has taken down their website, and the myspace page of the 18 year old boyfriend was also disabled. It may be back now but the words on his page were pretty scarry! He stated on his page that he's an f___kng redneck. Yeah real family values. She talks loud, she's sassy, sarcastic, and belittles hard working Americans, scarry thoughts for a VP. Frightening as a matter of fact. McCain is riddled with his own historical scandals and he's bringing change to Washington. Interesting!

It's time to rename those extremists - they are not "pro-life" or "anti-abortion", as they like to call themselves. They are "anti-choice". Big difference.
I am pro-life, as I am anti-war, and anti-abortion, as I would never have one, and never had an amnio with any of my 4 children, even after I was 35, when they begin to recommend them, because I believed that what will be, will be. But I do NOT want the government in my GYN office, and as such, I do not believe my views should be in someone else's GYN office.
I wish the MSM would stop letting these people get away with the so flowery "pro-life" label, when they so often support war and cutting programs that would actually help these single mothers' lives.
