The Left wing in this country hates the woman who wrote this email from “Your Heavenly Father.” They despise her for many reasons and it is an inescapable conclusion that one of those reasons is because she refused to exercise her “right to choose” and decided to keep her less-than-perfect baby. I hope that the disgusting (and probably clinically insane) Andrew Sullivan, who continues to cast doubt on Trig Palin’s maternity, and the monsters at Wonkette who thought it was the height of comedy to ridicule Trig Palin as “a retard” read this email that Sarah Palin wrote to her friends and family, notifying them that the baby she was carrying had Down’s Syndrome.
To the Sisters, Brother, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, and Friends of Trig Paxson Van Palin (or whatever you end up naming him!):
I am blessing you with this surprise baby because I only want the best for you. I’ve heard your prayers that this baby will be happy and healthy, and I’ve answered them because I only want the best for you!
I heard your heart when you hinted that another boy would fit best in the Palin family, to round it out and complete that starting five line-up.
Though another girl would be so nice, you didn’t think you could ask for what you REALLY wanted, but I knew, so I gave you a boy because I only want the best for you!
Then, I put the idea in your hearts that his name should be ‘Trig’, because it’s so fitting, with two Norse meanings: “True” and “Brave Victory”. You also have a Bristol Bay relative with that name, so I knew it would be best for you!
Then, I let Trig’s mom have an exceptionally comfortable pregnancy so she could enjoy every minute of it, and I even seemed to rush it along so she could wait until near the end to surprise you with the news – that way Piper wouldn’t have so long to wait and count down so many days – just like Christmastime when you have to wait, impatiently, for that special day to finally open your gift? (Or the way the Palmas look forward to birthday celebrations that go on for three, four days_ you all really like cake.) I know you, I knew you’d be better off with just a short time to wait!
Then, finally, I let Trig’s mom and dad find out before he was born that this little boy will truly be a GIFT. They were told in early tests that Trig may provide more challenges, and more joy, than what they ever may have imagined or ever asked for.
At first the news seemed unreal and sad and confusing. But I gave Trig’s mom and dad lots of time to think about it because they needed lots of time to understand that everything will be OK, in fact, everything will be great, because I only want the best for you!
I’ve given Trig’s mom and dad peace and joy as they wait to meet their new son. I gave them a happy anticipation because they asked me for that.
I’ll give all of you the same happy anticipation and strength to deal with Trig’s challenges, but I won’t impose on you… I just need to know you want to receive my offer to be with all of you and help you everyday to make Trig’s life a great one.
This new person in your life can help everyone put things in perspective and bind us together and get everyone focused on what really matters.
The baby will expand your world and let you see and feel things you haven’t experienced yet. He’ll show you what “true, brave victory” really means as those who love him will think less about self and focus less on what the world tells you is “normal” or “perfect°.
You will grow and be blessed with greater understanding that will he born along with Trig.Trig will be his dad’s little buddy and he’ll wear Carhartts while he learns to tinker in the garage. He’ll love to be read to, he’ll want to play goalie, and he’ll steal his mom’s heart just like Track, Bristol, Willow and Piper did.
And Trig will be the cuddly, innocent, mischievous, dependent little brother that his siblings have been waiting for_in fact Trig will – in some diagnostic ways – always be a mischievous, dependent little brother, because I created him a bit different than a lot of babies born into this world today.
Every child is created special, with awesome purpose and amazing potential. Children are the most precious and promising ingredient in this mixed up world you live in down there on earth. Trig is no different, except he has one extra chromosome. Doctors call it “Down’s Syndrome”, and Downs kids have challenges, but can bring you much delight and more love than you can ever imagine! Just wait and see, let me prove this, because I only want the best for you!
Some of the rest of the world may not want him, but take comfort in that because the world will not compete for him. Take care of him and he will always be yours!
Trig’s mom and dad don’t want people to focus on the baby’s extra chromosome. They’re human, so they haven’t known how to explain this to people who are so caring and are interested in this new little Alaskan. Sarah and Todd want people to share in the joy of this gift I’m giving to the Palin family, and the greater Alaska family.
Many people won’t understand_ and I understand that. Some will think Trig should not be allowed to be born because they fear a Downs child won’t be considered “perfect” in your world. (But tell me, what do you earthlings consider “perfect” or even “normal” anyway? Have you peeked down any grocery store isle, or school hallway, or into your office lunchroom lately? Or considered the odd celebrities you celebrate as “perfect” on t.v.? Have you noticed I make ’em all shapes and sizes? Believe me, there is no “perfect”!)
Many people will express sympathy, but you don’t want or need that, because Trig will be a joy. You will have to trust me on this.
I know it will take time to grasp this and come to accept that I only want the best for you, and I only give my best. Remember though: “My ways are not your ways, my thoughts are not your thoughts- for as the heavens are higher than the earth, my ways are higher than yours!”
I wrote that all down for you in the Good Book! Look it up! You claim that you believe me – now it’s time to live out that belief!
Please look to me as this new challenge and chapter of life unfolds in front of you. I promise to equip you. I won’t give you anything you can’t handle. I am answering your prayers. Trig can’t wait to meet you. I’m giving you ONLY THE BEST!
Love,
Trig’s Creator, Your Heavenly Father
I have my issues with her, and she is not my first choice to be the GOP nominee, but this is Sarah Palin at her best. This is the woman the Left vilified as an unfit mother when she was nominated to be the VP candidate by John McCain. Even now, two and a half years after the election, the Left goes after Palin with undiminished ferocity. This “letter from God” says a lot about Sarah Palin. The ridiculous e-mail scavenger hunt the Left went on in the hopes of finding some scandal to pin on on the former Governor, a plan that has backfired spectacularly, says even more about Sarah Palin’s enemies. Her enemies on the Left, those people driven by an irrational, inchoate hatred like Sullivan and the editors at Wonkette, are seen now as what they really are: small, diminished husks of humanity, pathetic, empty. Compared to her enemies, Sarah Palin is a titan.
Abe Greenwald has an excellent take on this at Contentions, the blog for Commentary magazine.
The Clampdown 
Cicero. “A man’s greatness can be measured by his enemies.”
You do realize, of course, that this is not “new” news. It was not “revealed” in the e-mail dump. It was on pages 261-264 of her book “Going Rogue.” This indicates…
1. Sarah is not above using her developmentally-disabled baby to further her political goals.
2. A LOT of you bought the book and didn’t read it.

Didn’t buy it, didn’t read it, don’t plan on it. I suppose if she kept the baby out of sight and with a nanny 24/7 you’d accuse her of being a negligent mother. By not aborting her baby, by not hiding her baby, and by being completely open about her baby she serves as a reminder to the Left that Life is sacred, and the Party of Death hates her for it. Short of being photographed with Trig (oh, the scandal!), and standing up for children with disabilities (how dare she!), the Loony Left can not name a single instance of her “using” Trig to further her political games. I know it. You know it.
[…] has any figure ever so movingly affirmed their equal place as citizens of our country? Read the letter that Palin wrote to her family when Trig (whose name, she says, in Norse means “True” and […]
