Crazy, Angry Response to my Pregnant Bristol Palin Cartoon

We have comments in the blog now and quite a spirited discussion on my pregnant Bristol Palin cartoon below. It is fascinating to see the outrage from the conservatives over my choice to depict the pregnant teen in a cartoon. I would remind the righties that it was Sarah Palin who chose to put her family in front of the camera and who has been so vocal in her opposition to birth control and sex education in schools; the abstinence-only sex education that she supports doesn't work, and the pregnant teenage daughter she chose to have stand behind her on stage illustrates the point.

In response to the moron who calls himself Daryl Cagle.  What?  How could you possibly think even for a second that it is morally acceptable to exploit Palin's daughter?  This is a case of a Democrat taking pot shots at someone who has never done anything to anyone.  How old were you when you lost your virginity?   Orrrr are you still a virgin?  Most men are NOT virgins when they marry.  Even with the remote chance you were, you certainly didn't want your friends to know about it, did you?  Hypocrits like you like to talk it up and crucify someone else when it benefits them to do so.  Apparently, you are not familiar with the bible and the words therein, "Ye Who Are Without Sin, Cast The First Stone".  I would be willing to bet money your life is no where near as perfect as you pretend it is.  I bet you have more than your share of skeletons in your closet, just like the rest of us.  Maybe even some you wouldn't want other people exploiting.......  I wish you Democrats would get a life, stop pretending to be God Almighty, stop playing with other peoples' lives, and especially realize that you will one day pay for the lives of all the innocent murdered children whose blood will be on your hands.....

Abstinence Education in Drivers' Ed



Young men and women under the age of 21 are at the highest risk of having automobile accidents, yet parents seem unable to exercise the moral authority to keep them safe by denying them the use of cars.  Cars are the largest single killer of youths in the 16 to 20 age range, yet state mandated Drivers' Education courses still encourage them to engage in this high risk behavior.   Since automobiles provide privacy to teenagers, they are an invitation to engage in illicit sexual conduct.  This results in untold thousands of unplanned pregnancies every year and contributes to the spread of STDs.  It also undermines the very Christian objectives of Abstinence Sex Education, which only works if the teens involved don't engage in sex.



This is a proposal for Abstinence Based Christian Drivers' Education, or ABCDE.  ABCDE belongs in the curriculum to teach high school students that they should not drive, or allow themselves to be driven by teenaged drivers.   It should come as no surprise that once students are taught to drive, they will drive.  Teaching them the “rules of the road” and how to drive safely will just encourage them to engage in high risk behavior which is likely to result in injuries, and even pregnancy.



It has been clearly shown that teenagers who do not drive (or ride) will not get in accidents or get pregnant in the back seats of cars.  Students who ignore the abstinence rules and drive anyway will probably have high accident and pregnancy rates, but they probably deserve to suffer for engaging in Unchristian behavior.



Encourage your local school board to implement ABCDE and to make sure that Sex Education classes also adhere to the Christian values which favor abstinence.  Just say no!

"In response to the moron who calls himself Daryl Cagle."



Yeah, only morons call themselves by, you know, their name.



"How could you possibly think even for a second that it is morally acceptable to exploit Palin's daughter?"



Yeah! How dare anyone exploit her and... oh look, there she is on tv again at a McCain rally, being brought up on stage! Awww so cute... but.. uh.. yeah! don't exploit her!





"This is a case of a Democrat taking pot shots at someone who has never done anything to anyone. "



Totally! Because its not like it could possibly be about the inherent absurdity of a candidate who extols the virtues and effectiveness of abstinence only education having a daughter who, brought up on these values, got pregnant at an extremely young age!!! I mean, how would that be relevant to assessing Sarah Palin's sense of logic???



"Hypocrits like you like to talk it up and crucify someone else when it benefits them to do so."



Yeah, durn 'hypocrits.'





"Apparently, you are not familiar with the bible and the words therein, "Ye Who Are Without Sin, Cast The First Stone".



Yeah! Cause... you know, Sarah Palin hasn't cast any stones!!! Gee, that was one great speech at the convention though wasn't it?



"I would be willing to bet money your life is no where near as perfect as you pretend it is. "



Yeah! You totally said your life is perfect! What? No, I can't point out where you said it, but... you totally did! Somewhere!



"I wish you Democrats would get a life, stop pretending to be God Almighty, stop playing with other peoples' lives"



Yeah! Sarah Palin would never play with other peoples lives! As an anti-abortion abstinence-only supporter, she clearly would never interfere with anyones life or try to look down on their choices!!!!



"and especially realize that you will one day pay for the lives of all the innocent murdered children whose blood will be on your hands..."



Unless they were Iraqi children, in which case, its all good.
