Bristol Palin's gay marriage rant: Obama girls watch too much 'Glee'
Politico ^ | 5/10/2012 | By CAITLIN MCDEVITT

Bristol Palin thinks it’s laughable that President Barack Obama’s children influenced his decision to support same-sex marriage.

“While it’s great to listen to your kids’ ideas, there’s also a time when dads simply need to be dads,” Bristol, the eldest daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, wrote in a blog post titled “Hail to the Chiefs – Malia and Sasha Obama” on Thursday.

Obama said on Wednesday that his daughers' acceptance of friends with same-sex parents helped prompt his "change in perspective." In response, Palin writes:

In this case, it would’ve been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends parents are no doubt lovely people, that’s not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage. Or that – as great as her friends may be – we know that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview.

In this situation, it was the other way around. I guess we can be glad that Malia and Sasha aren’t younger, or perhaps today’s press conference might have been about appointing Dora the Explorer as Attorney General because of her success in stopping Swiper the Fox.

Sometimes dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking. In this case, it would’ve been nice if the President would’ve been an actual leader and helped shape their thoughts instead of merely reflecting what many teenagers think after one too many episodes of Glee.

I don’t even know what Glee is

You don't know how lucky you are.

LOL. I really like the skewering Bristol has been doing lately. Who knows, she might have a future in this kind of thing.

I believe Obama is an atheist. Or, if he believes in any god, it’s himself.

>>>I don’t even know what Glee is. It’s not good, right?

Be happy you don’t. gay pandering & propaganda aside, It’s a show with 20-somethings pretending to be teenagers, doing vocal covers of 80’s songs, and ruining them.

I think she has hit upon something really important here. This looking to the youngsters for leadership rather than instructing them is really at the heart of almost ALL of the cultural decline we see. When it does not come directly from the kids, the Liberals implant it in them at school and then send them home to shame and nag their parents.

I think people in general watch too much 'Glee'. Just sayin'.

That depraved fag-fest has been banned in my house from day one.

Good answer. I was also struck by the fact that in ignorance I thought parents who would take the opportunity to send their children to a Quaker school would expect more from exposure at that school than their daughters being being grossly influenced by some students gay parents. This is exactly why God never envisioned gay couples being moral. Is it so hard for some people to accept God’s Plan of creation as He designed it that they have to resort to such extreme escapism as homosexuality?

They'll get savaged for the comment, but Bristol is right.

DMB will go running to Levi for a quote now. Hopefully we'll start to hear more Bristol and less Meghan.

Yep. Do not forget the rage they went into over Rush’s comment on Sandra Fluke. Watch close, because the Left’s comments on this will make his look like child’s play. We need to be ready to hang ‘em high over their comments about Bristol.

Good point. Mothers and fathers have the vocation of teaching their children, and should not hesitate to correct their childrens' errors ... particularly when those errors have been deliberately introduced by malicious adults.

Glee should have been canned after the first or second season.

Has anybody ever glimpsed at that show on TVLand, “Happily Divorced”? It’ll make your skin crawl. They even had Rosey O’Donuts on last night. I could hit my remote fast enough after “Everybody Loves Raymond” reruns.

Let's not forgot, four years ago Obama used Bob the Builder's trademark “Yes we can!” I guess now we know where he got the idea from.
