Bristol Palin would like to say some things about Obama’s endorsement of marriage equality! Seriously. She’s most focused on the fact that Obama claims that his evolution came, in part, in discussions with his wife and children. Bristol sees a double standard:
So let me get this straight – it’s a problem if my mom listened too much to my dad, but it’s a heroic act if the President made a massive change in a policy position that could affect the entire nation after consulting with his teenage daughters?
To be fair, Bristol, he didn’t say, “I sent a memo to my teenaged daughters that said You Decide This One.”
While it’s great to listen to your kids’ ideas, there’s also a time when dads simply need to be dads. In this case, it would’ve been helpful for him to explain to Malia and Sasha that while her friends parents are no doubt lovely people, that’s not a reason to change thousands of years of thinking about marriage.
Because thinking about marriage has never changed, in thousands of years, says Bristol Palin, whose writing [or that of her ghostwriter] I am currently critiquing. This is really happening.
Or that – as great as her friends may be – we know that in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home. Ideally, fathers help shape their kids’ worldview.
But that’s simply not true, Bristol’s ghostwriter. People like your mom probably erroneously believe it, because they’ve been fed Religious Right claptrap, and they pass it down to you, and wait, hold on, Bristol Palin is lecturing us on the ideal home environments for children?!?!?!?!
In this situation, it was the other way around. I guess we can be glad that Malia and Sasha aren’t younger, or perhaps today’s press conference might have been about appointing Dora the Explorer as Attorney General because of her success in stopping Swiper the Fox.
Good attempt at “joke,” Bristol’s ghostwriter.
Sometimes dads should lead their family in the right ways of thinking. In this case, it would’ve been nice if the President would’ve been an actual leader and helped shape their thoughts instead of merely reflecting what many teenagers think after one too many episodes of Glee.
Bristol really believes that Obama came to this decision primarily because he asked Sasha and Malia. Wow.
Hopefully this will be the last time I link to Bristol Palin’s blog. Unless she starts writing about science or something. That would be awesome.

Oh Republicans who live in glass houses………
And yet they will never cease throwing stones.
Bristol (or her ghostwriter) must be so proud… the entire Internet is laughing hysterically right now. I know I am.
At least Maggie Srivistav was an adult when she got knocked out of wedlock.
She inherited her brains from her mom.
This is the problem with unrepentant homophobes. They flagrantly sin and then they point fingers and accuse everyone else of sinning. Anti-gay activist Bristol Palin fornicated as a teenager and had a child out of wedlock. The Bible labels fornication a sin. Let she who is without sin cast the first stone…
She really should stick to topics she actually knows something about–getting knocked up and attempting to dance.
I knew as soon as I saw the words, “World View” that there is no way in Hell she wrote this.
So this little not-recently-a-virign DIDN’T listen to her father had a little b*****d out of wedlock. She is neither married to nor living with the father of that child, who incidentally forgot to put a glove on it and is again an unwed father. Meanwhile,I’m told she has another boyfriend with whom she is living.
Well, ms. Kettle, you certainly can’t tell the color of the pot where your head is stuck, can you?
Had we never changed our thinking on marriage, then women would still be th eproperty of their husbands. THe only plus side of this would be that we’d have never met Bristol or her lovely mother.
And don’t forget Bristol’s baby-daddy also posed nude (or semi-nude) for a magazine (was it Playgirl?) Another Father of the Year.
LMAO. Like I’m about to listen to anything little Ms. Family Values has to say. Her situation speaks for itself: child born out of wedlock, babydadday not in the picture…
Its as if the Catholic Church started opining about the protection and well-being of children.
Laughable.
Are we to believe our eyes and ears? Bristol Palin, of all people is suddenly relevant on the issue of marriage? Really? Oh, Bristol darling, raise your kid and live your life and shut your face. Obviously, the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree, does it? Marriage hasn’t changed for thousands of years? You are uninformed, dear. Read your Bible and some ancient history – it has changed a lot. Even in my lifetime, the laws concerning who would be recognized in marriage have change. And of all things, to take issue with HOW the President came to his present state of mind on gay equality! Get real, young fool. You learned too well from mommy.
sperm dumpster said what?
