Bristol Palin's gay marriage rant: Obama girls watch too much 'Glee'

If there was any remaining doubt about the wisdom and courage President Obama has shown in once again leading this country forward by his public support of same sex marriage, a word from a member of America's favorite family of trailer park rejects ought to seal the deal. Bristol Palin, the promiscuous unwed mother who was once touted as America's poster child for abstinence only, seems to be trying to prove to America that she is just as ignorant and just as bigoted as her corrupt mother. I guess being laughed off the stage at "Dancing With the Stars" wasn't enough to convince the younger Palin that she shouldn't get involved in things that are too intellectually complex for her ghost writers to handle.

And given that her latest rant not only spreads patently false claims but also seeks to implicate the President's children in her silliness, can there be much doubt that Sister Sarah is behind this latest embarrassment? After all, there has rarely been anyone in American politics more ready and willing to exploit and humiliate her own family for political gain, so why should anyone else's family be off limits. And the same nonsensical bullsh*t that the Right has pushed for so long - that "in general kids do better growing up in a mother/father home" - a notion that Bristol herself disproves - is pure Sarah.

Bristol Palin's gay marriage rant: Obama girls watch too much 'Glee'

Bristol Palin thinks it’s laughable that President Barack Obama’s children influenced his decision to support same-sex marriage.

“While it’s great to listen to your kids’ ideas, there’s also a time when dads simply need to be dads,” Bristol, the eldest daughter of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, wrote in a blog post titled “Hail to the Chiefs – Malia and Sasha Obama” on Thursday.

Obama said on Wednesday that his daughers' acceptance of friends with same-sex parents helped prompt his "change in perspective." In response, Palin writes:

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. 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.

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.

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.
