Palin Brings Media Bias to a Head
By Kevin Roeten (09/05/08)
On 9/3 Good Morning America had a field day trashing Sarah Palin (VP choice), with having a 17 year-old daughter who was pregnant. How could a VP that was so pro-life have a daughter that was pregnant and not married?
It was difficult watching two hosts seeming to have tons of fun making their announcement to the world. After that, how could Palin dare to show her face to anyone anymore? But there was a point that was missing during the whole fray. Why didn’t the mother in question, Bristol Palin, abort the baby? Feminists all over the land would have said it was the right thing to do. Bristol was not even married to Levi---yet.
Not discussing the abortion option was glaringly obvious to many pro-lifers. According to pro-abortionists, killing her baby would have been the easiest thing to do. But it seems Bristol’s mom and dad taught her right. Why would you want to kill an innocent bystander for a mistake made five months ago? It would be quite interesting to find out what that baby would think 15 years into the future of all those people clamoring for its death. However, its mom and dad knew it was a life, and knew it must be preserved.
It looks like Palin not only talks the talk, but also walks the walk. Even Sheri Jacobus (The Loft) said it so well: “…the GOP’s vice-presidential candidate didn’t have to walk, talk, dress, or act like a man to get there.” Come to think of it, she’s a card carrying member of Feminists for Life, a lifelong NRA member, no family business connections, no political connections, no rich daddy, no well-connected husband, fought and beat the corrupt Alaskan political machine, pro-family, current governor of Alaska, and mother of five (one of which is Down syndrome). The very interesting issue she is adamant about is the existence of global warming—but, not from man-made sources. On that she disagrees with McCain profusely, and it seems McCain is finally starting to see the light.
The media keeps trying to dig something up that’s bad about Palin. They’ve thought of every possible way of skewering her. They’re still trying. How can one nominate an intelligent, pro-life, hard-as-nails, good-looking mother as a potential leader of this country? You’d think that being a feminist has hit the skids, but wait—she IS a feminist (Feminists for Life). She’s bucked the status quo for years, and made it to a VP nominee from her actions alone.
It seems obvious that there are millions of true women out there, and Palin has just risen close to the top. Why do the Democrats and the prime time media keep trashing a woman who’s made it so far on sheer guts, willpower, and smarts? Maybe being a woman has nothing to do with Democrat’s beef. Maybe it’s just disagreement on the important issues of the day. It looks like someone should have the Democrats remove that platform plank “Opportunity for Women”.
