There is something about a Down syndrome child in plain view which has exposed the moral and emotional bankruptcy of the left-wing of the Democratic party. And they hate Sarah Palin because deep down, they hate themselves for being who they are.

If only they had reached that level of self-knowledge – alas, that may come with time.

And she’s a perennial child like so many libs she never cared for the responsibilities of adulthood and the joys they bring. She’s well into middle age masquerading as a slip of a lass. Such pathos!

Today, Sarah Palin resigned as Governor of Alaska. While many are speculating about her motives, a section of her announcement makes it crystal clear: She wants to make a difference by promoting mental handicaps, increasing the number of voters who w…

And how ironic is it that the very same groups who promote politically-correct lingo like “mentally challenged” or “intellectually disabled” gleefully describe a Down syndrome child as “retarded”.

Of course it came down to Trig, but to the other children too. Trig was merely the most stunning and damning example.

I hear that story as well. My response is that babies like Trig are born into special families. Families that are selected by the giver of life because that particular family has no boundaries for the love they have to share.

That 40-ish woman you know is a dime-a-dozen in terms of family worth.

If Palin is leaving the job for the sake of the family she must be further condemned, for families must sacrifice for the good of the parent’s job aspirations.

I wonder if MoDo can possibly look at Palin and be happy with her job as vipera in chief at a newspaper?

Trig is beautiful and deserves a full and loving life. Liberals are so selfish they cannot fathom a foreign term called “sacrifice”.

Sacrifice is a concept that neither liberals or “country-club conservatives” understand. It’s something that the lesser classes should do at the direction of their intellectual betters, don’t you know?

“Good for thee, but not for me.”

The palin hater I am most familiar with on a personal level is a forty something “young person” (her words not mine), who is unmarried and childless. She talks about the blessings of abortion all the time. I don’t know if it is from personal experience and I don’t care, but to women like these, Sarah Palin is someone to be despised. She not only has the children they shunned and avoided or even aborted, but she also kept the type of baby that made their argument somewhat palatable for a few of their allies. The cry was that people should not be “forced” to keep babies that would overwhelm the parents and take away resources and time from “normal” children.

And here comes trig Palin! The parents seem pleased with their son and the other siblings love him, carry him and smooth his hair! He demolishes their argument every time he appeared loved and unburdensome on the campaign trail. Trig was cared for and Sarah still did her job and looked beautiful and happy. She was not the bitter burned-out mama-slave to an imperfect child that their model predicted she must be. With every kiss on Trig’s little forehead she made them look foolish.

If Palin needed to be punished for anything, she needed to be punished for undermining a key argument of the pro-abortion crowd.

And I also expect that the women who remained childless by choice and who aborted the Trigs, the Willows, and the Pipers have their moments of deepest remorse. And Sarah said with every smile “look, it can work”.

Of course it came down to Trig, but to the other children too. Trig was merely the most stunning and damning example.

I disagree that the left would have been okay with it, but in a different context than their delusion that abortion for any and all is cool. Had she aborted, the left surely would have swung back using the other edge of their argument sword. “Look, look, she is a poor conservative!” they would declare.

Yes, she would’ve been branded a hypocrite.

It’s depressing that people would write these things about someone, a baby no less, who is not “normal” and also criticize someone who chooses to defend and nurture that person. Sad.

If Sarah Palin had aborted Trig, the left would have been okay with it. If she hid Trig offstage and out of sight, all would be good. But treat the child as you would any other child, and that cannot be tolerated.

The dislike for Palin by the left is, as you state – pathological – in the sense that it is abnormally and excessively embraced.

In my opinion, what the libs hate most about her is that she is a powerful woman with FIVE children that has it all together in such a beautiful way you can share in it when you watch the family. Palin deniers simply find it handy to point to Trig.

I dunno. I think the Left would’ve found something to criticize–IF she didn’t show her kids with her, then she’s an ambitious woman (you see, an “ambitious” woman is bad, but ambitious man is good), IF she did bring out the kids during the campaign or in the Runner’s World article, these would be photo ops or token appearances to show that she’s a “good” mom (however one defines “good mom,” because only leftie women can be “ambitious” and be career woman, right?), IF …….. ad nauseum….

The point is the Left cannot help themselves. She embodies everything they can’t stand (her pro-life positions, happy marriage to one person), oppose (Her conservatism), despise (her lack of educational pedigree, small town/rural affinities) and wish they had (her knock-out looks and cheerfulness).

Unfortunately, so true.

This is just absolutely true. Every time little Trig is seen he is a tangible rebuke to the Left.

They understand sacrificing their offspring’s lives (abortion) for their own convenience, but to sacrifice their precious time or lives for the upbringing of a special needs child makes them horrified. They are enlightened and enlightened people don’t care for imperfect babies.

That Palin may actually consider Trig’s needs before her own makes them confused and when libs are confused they get meaner than hell.
