“Ae you implying that because she’s a woman that she’s not up to the task?”
I am suggesting that at the age of this child, she hasn’t a clue what she needs to do. She should have refused the offer of the VP slot.
“I would suggest you focus on doing what’s best for your family and your situation”
As I have been doing for very, very many years now.
“...and show that same respect for the Palin family.”
The Palin family has made a very big mistake because they don’t appreciate the situation they are in. Pointing that out is hardly disrespectful.
“The Palin family has made a very big mistake because they don’t appreciate the situation they are in. Pointing that out is hardly disrespectful.”
Again, you assume that two intelligent, experienced, caring, faith-based parents are incapeable of understanding the demands that the new baby will have on them. You are absolutely not being respectful to the Palin Family. Your thinking is very liberal-minded. How do YOU know what they do or do not appreciate? How do YOU know what that family can or can not handle? Each family is unique unto themselves. Each family has their own way of dealing with challenges. I have little doubt that the Palin Family is well aware of the take ahead of them as they raise that beautiful little baby. It it true that things maybe be harder for them with the baby than they can apreciate, but isn’t that part of life? Should the Palin Family stop living just because the youngest child has Downs? You would be better off praying for the Palin Family to give the strength as wisdom they’ll need to raise that child and to allow Sarah to serve her nation as Vice President.
I would never in a million years suggest to you that because your child has Downs you should do this, or not do that thing, or whatever. I have to trust, until proven wrong, that you love your child and will do whatever it takes to raise them to be as healthy and as happy as humanly possible.
I have to believe, until proven wrong, that Gov. Palin will be the great mother she already obvioiusly is to her children, and that her and her family will love that baby and help the beautiful soul grow up to be as healthy and as happy as possible. Yes, your experiences give you a unique perepective on what the Palin’s face, but they does not offer you the right to pass judgement on their family - like the freaks on the Kos do as a matter of routine.
