Over at Democratic Underground, we have a predictability popular race-obsessed post. If this is what passes for intellectual heft, then we're all screwed
Best statement yet about Palin -- One day on the Greatest Page ain't long enough for this!
"What's galling is this: When the subject is a pregnancy to an unwed, minority teenage mother growing up in some (presumably Democratic) urban area, that pregnancy becomes fodder for lectures from conservatives about bad parenting, the perils of welfare spending and so on. But when the subject is a pregnancy to an unwed, white teenager from some small town in a Republican state, that pregnancy is...a celebration of the wonders of God's magnificence--and choosing life! -Thomas Schaller'
The difference is that in the first case, we taxpayers end up paying the bill. That bill is compounded by the fact that in the minority neighborhood, out of wedlock births are the norm whereas in small Red State towns, it's the exception.
And don't even get me started on a comparison of marriage rates (Bristol is marrying the father) in these situations or the incidence of multiple out of wedlock births by multiple fathers.
