'Trig will be a joy': Sarah Palin plays God in touching email about her unborn son's Down's Syndrome
The London Daily Mail ^ | June 12, 2011 | Brian Clark Howard

* She addresses 'unreal, sad and confusing' news of son's Down's Syndrome
* Writes Trig 'may provide more challenges and more joy' than imagined
* Writes that others would have wanted to abort, or send sympathy
* Shows thoughtful, human side of controversial politician

Sarah_Palin 'played God' in a deeply touching email she wrote two weeks before her fifth child, Trig, was born with Down's Syndrome, it was revealed today.

The poignant message to family_and_friends, included in 25,000 pages of her private emails made public on Friday, may alter the way the former Governor of Alaska is viewed by the American public.

In April 2008, two weeks before Trig was born with Down's Syndrome, Mrs Palin sent the email to her friends and family from her official government account.

In the touching message, Mrs Palin writes from the voice of God, as 'Trig's creator, your heavenly father'. She addresses the 'unreal, sad and confusing' news that her soon-to-be born child will have Down's Syndrome. The letter's existence had previously known, but only very brief excerpts had been made public.

Writing as God, Mrs Palin wrote, 'I let Trig's mom have an exceptionally comfortable pregnancy so she could enjoy every minute of it...'

She wrote, 'Trig's mom and dad' were told early by doctors that the child 'may provide more challenges and more joy than what they ever may have imagined or ever asked for.

'This new person in your life can help everyone put things in perspective... and get everyone focused on what really matters. The baby will expand your world and let you see and feel things you haven't experienced yet'. The letter also makes unlikely conspiracy theories that have long been circulating on blogs that Trig was actually born to Mrs Palin's unwed daughter Bristol....

My perception is that Sarah Palin represents love in more ways than I can count, and that Sarah is hated by people short on love.

That is a very astute observation.

The author who wrote that, is trying to play a sort of god by saying such a sacreligious thing published on a Sunday.

I thought Sara's letter was beautiful.

State-run media plays into Sarah's hands again.

He’ll show you what “true, brave victory” really means as those who love him will think less about self and focus less on what the world telss you is “normal” or “perfect.”...
Another typo - scandalous! ;-)

The minute she declares, I am sending a thousand dollars to her campaign, and a hundred dollars a month automatically after that. I think there are lots and lots of people who are going to do something similar.

Same here. Most in my family are ready to send the day she announces. It would be wonderful for her to garner a record amount of donations. That would be a statement "from the people" against the arrogant elites.

The Lord told the apostles; ‘before they hated you, they hated me’. This is playing out right in front of our very eyes. Gov Palin and her family are the antithesis to all that is amiss inside the beltway. Nobody knows this better or are more paralyzingly terrified of if than the vermin in the media.

How anyone can imagine that Trig isn’t her own, after reading this letter, is just beyond sense and reason. What she says here isn’t just a prayer, it’s acceptance of God’s Will, and St. John’s definition of obedience. In a nutshell, it’s why she’s despised. God protect her.

“playing” God???? REALLY?

This is the best they can do?

I would describe it as - recognizing God’s blessings and thanking Him for it.

When liberals do it, they call it a “literary device”

I can’t see where this one could be considered “public”.

I can see some liberals heads exploding. She actually thinks she knows what God wants for her? The arrogance! (sarc)

Of course dems play God everyday. They KNOW what’s best for you and they “don’t need no god to tell them”.

Boy, this whole escapade sure has backfired on the media, hasn’t it? If they keep it up, they’ll “scandalize” her right into the White House!!

God works in strange ways....I found this extremely touching and while this was so invasive, nothing short of an assult on her privacy actually, this has definitely worked in her favor.

Dear Crazy-Ass London Press Which Originates From A Country That Is Killing Itself With Muslim Immigration And Socialism,

Sarah Palin is closer to God than you will ever be.

Love,

The infamous pornographer Larry Flynt said that Sarah Palin should have had an abortion, and that Trig is a vegetable, and shouldn’t have been allowed to live.

The irony is that the wheelchair bound Flynt meets certain criteria of “non-productive” or “non-functional” life that he criticizes in a Down’s syndrome baby

I guess bears might eat a “wiener” such as him, as they will eat garbage.
But I like bears and it would be probably poison them.
