    does anyone else find it funny...

    ...that a woman who has made an entire political career out of stances such as the absolute opposition to any constitutional right to privacy should now expect and demand privacy for the daughter she herself thrust into the public spotlight?

    Gay marriage may be destroying America, but unprotected straight sex is producing children who must live with Down syndrome or be raised by emotionally unequipped 17 year old parents. At least gay people won't accidentally conceive a sick child that must be supported by taxpayer dollars.

    Sarah Palin is a right-wing, pro-life hero because she didn't abort her Down syndrome baby. Funny, if abortion really is murder, I would think that the simple act of refraining from murder would just make someone normal, not a saint.

    The hypocrisy of people like Palin is astounding. And this is just her personal life... we haven't even started with her politics yet!
