Comments on: Bristol and Levi: together again https://thenewneo.com/2010/07/14/bristol-and-levi-together-again/ A blog about political change, among other things Fri, 30 Jul 2010 22:01:31 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Assistant Village Idiot https://thenewneo.com/2010/07/14/bristol-and-levi-together-again/#comment-171462 Fri, 16 Jul 2010 00:22:13 +0000 http://neoneocon.com/2010/07/14/bristol-and-levi-together-again/#comment-171462 It’s clear that both Levi and Bristol were thinking from the waist down at least once in their lives, and Bristol may be doing it again. I hope her forgiveness is something more noble, but the more primitive form of “forgiveness” is more common (especially in women? Don’t know). Still, the long hard road does teach, for those who have the courage of self-knowledge. I wish them well. But whether it is a hellish marriage or deep and supportive love, it is theirs, not mine.

But, let’s all focus on the hope that he truly feels remorse, and that he’ll work on being a better person, a good husband, and a loving father from here on out.

(But I wouldn’t let him within a mile of MY daughter if this had happened in my family…)

Good decision. Ditto.

I hope James is also right…

Levi went through the Hollywood/publicity machine where they made him a bunch of promises and told him a bunch of fairy tales to get something out of him. Then, because he basically doesn’t have any talent, they dumped him and left him for dead.

So now he understands he was taken, and the people making the promises are blood suckers. So properly humbled, he’ll try to be a decent guy. He might even succeed. And he won’t be taken in again.

That last sentence was the hardest to write. The prodigal son was just a story to illustrate a point, right? Such a story has never really happened in real life – right?

Levi was picked as the way to get to Palin and he lacked the maturity, character, and smarts to resist the bloodsuckers. What really irritates me are the lefties who assume that nothing like this occurs on their side of the fence. I can’t believe there aren’t a lot of daughters who had abortions and a lot of girlfriends of sons who were paid off. The sin for them isn’t in having unprotected sex that results in pregnancy; the sin is in having this make the newspapers and trash magazines. Weren’t there some problems with the Kennedy clan? Yawn. Just as long as they are taking oil from Chavez for Boston’s poor, anything the cousins do is OK.

Levi seems to be immoral and unprincipled. I will not be surprised if I learn later that he wiggled his way back into the lives of the Palin clan for reasons other than his love for Bristol and the child.

How they can trust that guy after all he’s done? I doubt this story will have a happy ending.

He’s not the strongest character in town, but these guys drove Sarah out of office (but did not crush her as planned) so he didn’t stand a chance.

Someday we’ll know more about who was pulling Levi’s strings.

I’m sure Bristol is doing what she thinks is best, but I can’t fathom the logic.

If I were a 20 year old boy, I’d be crapping myself at the thought of being on the wrong side of Todd and Sarah Palin. But maybe Levi Johnston isn’t that bright yet…or ever…

It’s to their credit that they’re not interfering with their daughter’s decision. In an age when parents micro-manage the lives of even their adult children, it’s refreshing to see parents loving enough to allow their kids to make their own mistakes. It’s what good parents do. Otherwise, how might children ever learn that choices have consequences and impact?
