A Letter From God

June 13, 2011

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.


Andrew Sullivan’s Dive Off The Deep End

November 20, 2009

Andrew Sullivan hasn’t been worth reading for years as he descends into the fever swamps of paranoia and conspiracy, but I find this hilarious. Michelle Malkin points out Sullivan’s fever dream hatred of Sarah Palin has reached epic proportions.

Sullivan, the man who still thinks that Sarah Palin’s youngest child, Trig, is really the son of Bristol Palin and that Sarah covered up her daughter’s pregnancy by pretending to be pregnant herself, is now accusing Palin of being a fantasist. Here and here.

Poor Andrew…the only thing standing between him and total derangement is a single tinfoil hat.


On Hating Sarah

I’m still a little bit breathless from reading David Kahane’s superb column on NRO today. Preach on, brother, preach on!


Sarah Palin’s Resignation

July 6, 2009

I’ve been away for a week, hiding out from the forces of the Clampdown, and made a promise to myself that I would spend a full eight days not reading newspapers or watching TV. I’m still trying to catch up with everything that happened last week, but clearly the Sarah Palin story is a big one.

Palin’s resignation from the Governor’s chair stunned everyone. The press conference was hastily called and the announcement was made with no prior warning signs. The big question is, “Why?”

The short answer is that I don’t know. The only people who really know are her family. Of course the smear merchants on the Left are insinuating that it’s because there’s a huge scandal about to explode with her name on it and that the FBI is launching an investigation into her. The FBI denies it. I must confess that this thought did cross my mind, as well. The last time a governor called a press conference this quickly was when South Carolina’s Mark Sanford admitted that he had a gal in the Argentinian mountains, or when New York’s own Eliot Spitzer admitted to consorting with a hooker (sorry, at those prices she’s an escort). Or perhaps my favorite, when New Jersey’s Jim McGreevy did his “I’m a gay American!” press conference. Now that was a keeper. Good times, good times.

Palin’s supporters maintain that she’s laying the groundwork to run for President in 2012. If this is true, this seems an odd way of doing it. One of the knocks against Palin was her inexperience. It was always a cheap rap, especially in light of our Community-Organizer-in-Chief’s brief resume, but it seemed to stick for some reason. It seems to me that finishing your term and being the best damn governor Alaska’s ever had would improve your chances of becoming President.

I don’t believe that Palin will ever be President. The way the Left attacked and smeared her left an indelible impression in the minds of many swing voters. It was grossly unfair. Palin’s a smart, self-made woman. Her policy expertise was lacking in some areas, especially foreign policy, but no more so than Barack Obama’s (remember, Obama picked Biden to shore up his inexperience in foreign policy). But the precedent to remember here is Dan Quayle. The fact is that Quayle was the smart one on the Bush/Quayle ticket and was considered one of the most knowledgable experts in foreign policy in the Senate. But the media blasted him as a dummy who couldn’t spell “potato” and the image stuck. Quayle was never able to overcome that calumny because every time he stuck his neck out the media dragged out the old lies and distortions one more time. The same will be true of Palin. It’s not fair, of course, but Palin will be remembered not as the self-assured woman who gave a great speech at the Republican convention, but as a caricature voiced by Tina Fey. Staying in Alaska out of the media’s eye, doing a great job, and studying the issues would have helped her out more in 2012 than jetting all over the country giving speeches now.

Of course, the other possibility is that she’s tired of the lies, the attacks, and the constant smears by her political enemies and wants out of the game. If that’s the case, I wish her well and hope she and her family have a long and wonderful life together, but I can’t say that I blame her.

The Left hates this woman with a passion the likes of which I have never before witnessed. My personal opinion is that they dislike her and want to see her defeated because of her politics, but they hate her because she didn’t have the common decency to abort her Down Syndrome child. Sarah Palin is a refutation of everything the Left stands for. Unlike Hillary Clinton, Palin made it on her name, not her husband’s. She should be a feminist icon, and would be if she believed in higher taxes and abortion on demand. But she believes in lower taxes, and wouldn’t even abort that little retard. In fact, she even seems to think that little Trig Palin’s life actually has some value, that silly know-nothing! Doesn’t she understand that this is in direct opposition to groups like Planned Parenthood, which was founded to cut down the numbers of little retards and black babies.

Like Clarence Thomas on race, Sarah Palin has strayed off the reservation, and she must be punished for her transgressions.

Whatever plans she has, I wish her well.



Shortly after I wrote this, I found this absolutely revolting piece via a link from “Why Mommy Is A Republican.” It was taken off the Huffington Post, but preserved for the history books by Michelle Malkin.

It appears that my theory about the Left’s hatred of Palin isn’t as lonely as it appeared (to me, at least). I also found this posting on Mommy’s site.
