Why the attacks on Ms. Palin are morally wrong:

People bash her, saying she is an evangelical Christian and yet she has a daughter who got pregnant, as a teenager, outside of marriage.

Well, guess what? Parents can tell their offspring anything. But even parents have to grapple with external influences such as peer pressure, media messages, and other sociological trends.

Anybody who attacks her citing hypocrisy is being myopic and naive. And you owe her an apology too. Unless you have been inside her house and can prove she hasn't taught her kids anything. Which you dare not do, because many of you also complain about spying on peoples' personal lives, while also ignoring the core issues such as peer pressure and its influences (once again, the media).

And what does the media often hype up? Sex. Sex sex sex sex sex. Inconsequential sex. As if it's no different than trading cookie recipes. People have forgotten that sex is an expression of love that involves respect for others... and self-respect.
