I will not be continuing my Creationism posts today. I do not plan to get to them until after the general election in November.

I do plan to discuss Iraq before the election. I am sorry for the change in plans. Plans, in reality, often are altered for one reason or another. “The best laid plans … often go astray.” Thank you for your understanding and patience.

How many unborn toddlers were murdered today because of the humanistic, paganish, barbaric decisions of the United States Supreme Court?

Yesterday, I posted information dealing with the biases of the national media and their decisively liberal bent. Tonight, an article from the Culture and Media Institute that deals with some of the reaction of the national media to the Sarah Palin nomination. The article with some comments:

“Whalin’ on Palin: Media Discover Motherhood, Overlook Character
Since GOP presidential candidate John McCain announced Alaska’s governor would be his running mate, the dirt-diggers have been working around the clock.

By Brian Fitzpatrick Culture and Media Institute September 3, 2008

The media are showing presumptive Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, a life member of the NRA, what it’s like to be the hunted instead of the hunter.
The Big Media are in a frenzy over Palin’s announcement Monday that her 17-year-old daughter, Bristol, is five months pregnant. Bristol’s indiscretion has provided a handy stick to beat the 44-year-old Alaska governor’s candidacy. How could a pro-life mother of five, a conservative Protestant who believes in waiting until marriage, have a daughter pregnant out of wedlock?

Then there’s the motherhood question. How could a full-time mother of five, including a disabled infant, possibly serve as Vice President? Won’t she be forced to neglect her children? Juggling these roles shouldn’t be much of a problem for Palin. She’s received rave reviews for her performance in a far more difficult job, running the government of Alaska, while also being a hands-on mom. Besides, no elected office in the land is better suited for a full-time mother than the vice presidency. Unlike governors, vice presidents spend most of the day looking for something to do.Since John McCain announced last Friday that he had chosen Palin, to be his running mate, media dirt-diggers have been working around the clock. They hadn’t found enough for a good mudslinging campaign—just a dispute about why Palin fired her public safety commissioner, and her husband’s 1986 arrest for drunk driving—but with Monday’s announcement of Bristol’s pregnancy, they think they’ve hit pay dirt. The New York Times alone ran three stories focused on the pregnancy: ‘Palin’s Teen Daughter Is Pregnant, New G.O.P. Tumult’; ‘In Political Realm, ‘Family Problem’ Emerges as Test’; and ‘Palin Daughter’s Pregnancy Interrupts Script.’ On Tuesday’s front page, the Times also used these ‘shocking’ revelations about Palin to attack McCain’s judgment. The story ‘Palin Disclosures Raise Questions about Vetting’ suggests that the McCain campaign failed to investigate Palin adequately before putting her on the ticket.Bristol Palin’s pregnancy has also opened the door to attacks on abstinence education, which Sarah Palin supports. On Monday afternoon, CNN’s Kyra Phillips repeated an Alaskan pro-abortion organization’s statement citing Bristol as an example as to why ‘comprehensive’ sex education, with its emphasis on contraception, is needed. On Good Morning America Tuesday morning, ABC’s Diane Sawyer asserted that the ‘Journal of Adolescent Health probably you know in March of this year said that kids who receive comprehensive sex ed in school are 60% less likely to be pregnant or to have gotten someone pregnant than those receiving abstinence-only education.’

[My comment: Notice that this was from a PRO-MURDER organization. Might they actually realize that if a child follows abstinence only that by definition the number of unborn baby murders will go down? The last thing they want is teens and adults actually being abstinent! The murder of unborn babies IS BIG BUSINESS!!!
Also, the American Academy of Pediatrics has advanced a policy of providing birth control products to teens. I would not and do not trust anything that is claimed by them or similar groups. They are a menace to parents!]

Neither CNN nor ABC bothered to report whether Bristol Palin had received abstinence education, comprehensive sex education, or both, and ABC failed to acknowledge that other studies have found that abstinence programs have successfully persuaded teens to delay sexual behavior.

[My comment: I’m sure they also neglected to remind listeners that John Edwards’ mistress (Democrats really should not be throwing stones at a 17-year-old. John Edwards was the Democratic Party’s third choice for the Presidential nomination, had an adulterous affair, and lied about it for two years. I think it might be best to keep quiet about the sin of a 17-year-old.) had a baby out of wedlock. I doubt seriously if she was involved in an abstinence only education program. Yet, she STILL managed to get pregnant! How is that?

By the logic of the pro-murder set, the government should remove all laws against murders because those laws do not prevent all murders. One thing is certain: If someone is abstinent they will not become pregnant; people who engage in intercourse may get pregnant even if using “protection.” I’m sure though that these pro-murder people are only concerned for the well-being of the Governor’s daughter! They certainly have shown no concern for unborn children who are murdered by their MOTHERS and the mother’s consenting doctor!] The untimely pregnancy has added ammunition to attacks on Palin’s ability to serve as Vice President and also serve as mother to her children, especially the newborn son with Down syndrome. This line of attack began Friday, the day McCain selected Palin, with CNN’s John Roberts saying: ‘Children with Down’s syndrome require an awful lot of attention. The role of Vice President, it seems to me, would take up an awful lot of her time, and it raises the issue of how much time will she have to dedicate to her newborn child?’ On Saturday, ABC’s Good Morning America co-host Bill Weir jumped on a McCain campaign spokesman with obvious anger: ‘She has an infant—she has an infant with special needs. Will that affect her campaigning?’

[My comment: Did these same commentators show the same concern when Governor Palin was fulfilling her duties as Governor of Alaska? I am grateful though for their obvious concern for Governor Palin’s children. How thoughtful of them!] On Tuesday morning, The New York Times launched a front page attack on the motherhood front. The article, ‘A New Twist in the Debate Over Mothers,’ states: ‘With five children, including an infant with Down syndrome and, as the country learned Monday, a pregnant 17-year-old, Ms. Palin has set off a fierce argument among women about whether there are enough hours in the day for her to take on the vice presidency, and whether she is right to try.’

The newfound media concern about a politician’s ability to be a devoted mother might be touching, if it weren’t such an obvious political ploy. One wonders whether all those feminist in the newsrooms are comfy with this line of attack. “What do you mean, a woman can’t have it all?”

What’s missing in these stories is the acknowledgement the Palin family deserves for its strength of character and commitment to core values. Mother and daughter have demonstrated their devotion to the sanctity of life by carrying through pregnancies that many politicians and political families would have aborted. Mother and daughter have embraced the responsibility for raising children other candidates might have dismissed as inconvenient.

Media attacks on Sarah and Bristol Palin appear to be calculated to weaken conservative Christian support for Palin, and ultimately for the McCain presidential candidacy. What the media fail to understand is that conservative Christians don’t expect people to be morally perfect, and they are quick to forgive when people admit their sin and accept the consequences of their behavior. The media’s assault on this courageous family will onlygenerate sympathy among conservative Christians and the public at large.

For at least a dozen years, I have read story after story published by the national media bemoaning the paucity of women in elected public office. We have a woman who has the opportunity to be next in line to the Presidency and all of a sudden those same national media types are concerned about family and their care. Perhaps, the national media should qualify their remarks about women in elected positions. They want Democratic women in elected government positions and Republican women staying home and minding their children.

By the way, Senator Obama has three children himself and his wife was a practicing lawyer and is now on the campaign trail. Don’t his children need their mother at home doing motherly things? Don’t his children need a father at home instead of dealing with issues of state 24 hours a day? I guess not!

Personally, I don’t mind their attacks on Governor Palin. I think it will do more good than harm. Have they attacked Senator Biden at all? It demonstrates their biases and it demonstrates that they are concerned that she might, indeed, bring votes to the Republican ticket. Therefore, keep attacking her! It can only help!
