Baby Trip, Son of Levi and Bristol

In the 21st century the epithet and stigmatized word "bastard" is nearly irrelevant due to secular humanism. Perhaps if we lived in a society in which Christian values are not condemned as a hate crime, the ease of teen sex would be diminished.

At any rate when I went to check out Madonna's link, the website was down for technical reasons at the time.

I think the Chicago Tribune story nails the story best:

Perhaps as predictable as this high-profile breakup is the reaction from gawkers on both sides of the political fence.

"Within her base, I think this will just increase sympathy and support," said Gary Alan Fine, a Northwestern University sociology professor who studies political reputations. "It will make her seem more like a person who has to confront the challenges of life, and this is one of them. If you're a fundamentalist or a devout Christian, you don't believe you're living in a world without sin, you don't believe people don't make mistakes."

And for those who love to hate Palin, this is another arrow in their quiver.

I have noticed the Left rags of the Internet are reveling in this public break-up as a shark smelling blood in the water.

The story first emerged in the tabloid Star magazine, which quoted Mr Johnston’s sister Mercedes saying that Ms Palin and her mother were to blame for the break-up. The couple had been due to marry this summer.

“Levi tries to see Tripp every single day, but Bristol makes it nearly impossible,” Mercedes Johnston is quoted as saying.

“She tells him he can’t take the baby to our house because she doesn’t want him around ‘white trash’. The worst part, Ms Johnston tells the magazine, is that Governor Palin supports her daughter’s treatment of Mr Johnston.

Ms Palin said in a statement issued through her mother’s political action committee that she was devastated by the report in Star. “Unfortunately, my family has seen many people say and do things to ‘cash in’ on the Palin name. Sometimes that greed clouds good judgment and the truth.”

Standing outside his family’s home in Wasilla, Alaska, Mr Johnston told reporters that he and Ms Palin had mutually decided “a while ago” to end their relationship. He also said some of the details of the break-up reported on the Internet were inaccurate. (From the Brits of TimeOnline)

I find it remarkable that Lefties drudging the saga of two teenage parents that have to live with consequences of growing up fast because a life - a baby - with a soul created in the image of God is in the world.

Certainly sin is sin however it is also apparent that Christ came to deliver humanity from sin. If anyone says they are without sin (Believer or reprobate) then they are a liar.

8(Z)If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the (AA)truth is not in us.

9(AB)If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and (AC)to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10(AD)If we say that we have not sinned, we (AE)make Him a liar and (AF)His word is not in us. (1 John 1:8-10 NKJV)

So I say to the Left - GET OVER IT, LIFE MOVES ON.
