Every argument I’ve had with my leftist friends and relatives, on no matter what subject, devolved to conservative hypocrisy. All their ideals, they say darkly, are just cover for baser motives. When the argument gets to the point of “Well, if they were really pro-life, they’d support …” I stop, because we’ve come across the core of their world view, and in my experience, it can’t be shaken.

The problem with the Palins and Santorums of the world living up to their beliefs, of demonstrably not being hypocrites, is that they can’t be ignored. The existence of their living and loved children is a challenge to the deepest leftist beliefs.

Anyway, sorry for making a political comment on a post about a sick child. I’ve been praying for the Santorums.

Thanks neo-neocon,

She will survive and regain her former health, as a family we are incapable of thinking otherwise.

God. The trolls. Really? Especially on such a heart rendering topic? Sheesh. But I read on the T18 syndrome. It’s very sad…. all very sad. But the Santorum family seems to have a wonderful gift of faith to get them through…my prayers are with them tonight. They have already given a huge testament to the power of family; the life and death of a child whose life was so short. Perhaps the grace that outpours from their human suffering will now make someone else choose the direction of life, regardless of how long that life is.

“I suspect one reason why Palin drove the left into such a frenzy is because she made a pro-life choice.”

Yes, yes, yes. I’m not social conservative except when it comes to this issue. Life, in or out of the womb, is precious and is to be protected, nurtured, and loved.

Mrs Whatsit Says: Parker, how is your daughter?

Thanks for asking… she’s doing as well as can be expected. Her 2nd chemo session was much like the first: mild nausea, general aches, and a loss of appetite for a few days; then a rebound on post day 4. Its a long, rough, and winding road she must travel but we’re hanging tough as a family and setting our minds on complete remission. So say we all.

Don Carlos: well, they may not be everywhere. But they’re certainly here.

There is little room left for decent men and women in our society.
The trolls are everywhere.

Occam’s Beard: that was an odd troll. Usually they come in on old threads, where they think they won’t be noticed (ah, but they are, they are). This is a spanking new thread. I think I’ll leave “Jenny’s” little invite up there for comic relief.

She does seem rather partial to the apostrophe and the smiley face, doesn’t she?

What does Vanessa charge? And is it by the hour, or by the bonk?
