Thanks for a good post on Palin. For what it’s worth, I seem to have been banned by Henry over at Vox Nova, because I dared to say that he had no evidence for his claims that Alaskans “realize they had been had with [Palin]; when looking for a way out of corruption, they got someone WORSE.” Oh well, it’s all for the best; commenting there is like trying to wrestle with a pig.
You are more than welcome to comment here SB.
Don Mac- ad multos annos to you and your homies. When I sniffed out at Dale’s blog that you were part of this dance party, I rejoiced. Your wisdom and uncompromising nature on All Matters Life-Oriented have always been of great admiration by me. May you and the boys continue to cry aloud and spare not. 48.5 million lost souls are counting on us.
High words of praise Gerard for which I thank you. I have always stood in awe of your skill in whipping mere words into elegant creatures of your will in comboxes! We will win the struggle for the unborn no matter how long the road or how uphill the fight.
Dear Donald,
Please don’t t think ill of me for saying this, but Sarah hasn’t always been a friend to the “special needs” community.
Shortly after she took office, she slashed the SN budget by 60%.
Perhaps, blessing her with a special needs child of her own was God’s way of making her see that our children really do matter.
Based on her change of heart, I’d say that His plan is working beautifully.
Sincerely,

Actually Ms. Wong she didn’t. Here is the truth of the matter:

Humorous post.
My wife and I just had a kid yesterday under the Canadian system. Feel free to email me for details on what a “culture of life” really looks like. I’m willing to share.
Congrats on the new birth, Michael! Meant to say something at VN, but this works, too.
Congratulations on the child Catholic Anarchist! Kids, in my humble opinion, really do put so much zest in life! I know mine do, and I can say that even after my daughter, and youngest, tied with me in a “bowling for babies” event yesterday to raise funds for the crisis pregnancy center in my county. I figure that next year when she is 14 she will complete my humiliation on the bowling lanes!
What kind of sick mind dismisses this post as “humorous”?
Come on SB, give the Catholic Anarchist some slack. Anyone who can attempt to mix Catholicism and Anarchism with a straight face obviously is engaged in some sort of comedy enterprise that we in this frame of reality find difficult to comprehend.
What kind of sick mind dismisses this post as “humorous”?
The humorous part is the insinuation that Sarah Palin is pro-life.
To insinuate that Palin is pro-life is not inherently any more humorous than insinuating that you are pro-life, Michael.
You are in no lesser need (indeed, given the pride your studies give you — perhaps somewhat more) than far right wing pro-lifers of recalling that the definition of pro-life is not “agrees with me on every conceivable issue”.
