I'm sure that most of us have read The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Hawthorne wrote it to highlight what he viewed as legalism in Puritan culture.
It's interesting that those reviving The Scarlet Letter concept are the Daily KOS crowd and opponents of all things conservative.
Over and over we see that those who espouse "liberalism" can be, in fact, judgmental to the point of cruelty simply as a means of gaining and holding onto power. Forgiveness and redemption are a concept that escapes them... unless, of course, it promotes their political agenda.

It is amazing how rabid the liberals get when a baby gets past their killing fields of abortion and infanticide.
Thanks

Oh come on people, but the problem is she (and her daughter) had an error in judgement and it makes people think twice about their actions, especially vunable young christian women whose parents need to listen to their children more and not bury in the sand that these problems exist.
I'm not hateful against this woman and her daughter because anyone can make a mistake and be forgiven, but at the same time, they need to move on and learn from their mistakes. And at the same time, leaders should also possess a higher standard of living, whether it is a pastor or a politician.

Excuse me,,,what was the error in judgement Sarah Palin made? Could you clarify this for me please?
Leaders with higher standards went out the window in 98 with Clinton of which the rings from that pebble in the water have done enormous damage to the way our youth view elected officials.
Its dog eat dog and there's a culture war going on, haven't you heard?

Just for clarification: Are you saying that the mother of a 17 year-old female should be held accountable if the daughter gets pregnant?

Jimbo, one thing that has not been brought up is the age of consent in Alaska; it is 16. So in a secular sense the mother is not responsible for the child.

Wow - if you make a bad choice, does that mean your mother did as well? There is some indication in Scripture the sins of the father can effect his children, but I never read that the sins of the children would be those of their parents.
Perhaps you should re-write the story of the Prodigal, with the father apologizing to the son for not keeping him from leaving; of course, that would seem to indicate God Himself is at fault for our sins. Funny how one bad idea infects all truth.

Yeah I'm familiar with the Scarlett Letter, read it in High School. I'm also familar with the Crucible and what happen between the beginning of the primary season up to the present has been nothing more than a witch hunt for a racists, islamic, marxist, anti-Chirst, baby killing, mandchurian candidate. All things being fair both sides of the political spectrum are guilty.

You forgot "friend of terrorists" which imo is well deserving of political scrutiny which you prefer to call "witch hunt".

I think that everyone that critizes Palin or her daughter for having this baby is only supporting abortion.
Im sure the Democrats would be really happy if she had one. They may praise her to the hills if that happened.

Well, let's remember, Barack Obama doesn't want his daughters t make a mistake, because he doesn't want them "punished with a baby".
That line should have cost him the election right there...just goes to show how far we have deteriorated as a civilized people....

Obama has been more than classy on this; his supporters however have been bottom dwelling mud suckers.

Are you referring to TracyDoll? The suposably republican? riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.... lol
Tell me another story..but please do it in the story forum k?
And even Sean Hannity said that if she or her daughter had aborted the babies they would have been applauded for that "choice" by democrats. As far as I see it, Palin and republicans want babies to live and democrats don't.
Unless you have something of substance to change my mind. Do you?

Not a republican, repub, or publican!
Never will be. Not a Democrat either.
If your using my name to prop up your arguement, really bad, dont ya think? LOL.
Whew, this has been fun.
Reminds me of an arguement I had with my brother, he defended Rev. Wright , He was mad also. Called me a bunch of names. (Sound familiar)
till the Rev came out and showed his behind, I'm still laughing on that one and will be laughing at Sarah Palin for awhile.
Everytime I see my brother he laughs with me now.

I think you are very, very wrong on this one because not everyone who are critical about Palin do not support abortion.I don't support abortion so you and others here need to stop assuming things like this just because some one has an opposing viewpoint. Not all democrats support abortion as not all GOP's agree with the consevative wing of the party.

How does one vote for those who champion the right to murder the unborn and at the same time not support the right to murder the unborn? How does one parcel their support in such a manner to avoid supporting abortion? Does one write a note on their ballot saying they only support the "good" stuff?
