Bristol Palin shows O'Reilly women don't need men to have babies

Same @!$%#...different title...day after day....can't you come up with some real news to discuss...

I enjoy topics about young women like Bristol Palin who get pregnant out of wedlock and show that women can raise children on their own without a father in the home. Bristol Palin is a real liberated, independent gal!

Do you honestly think it is desirable for women to raise children by themselves and without the father around? Bristol Palin is wealthy, she doesn't have to worry about providing for her child. The same cannot be said about numerous single mothers in this country. That we can glorify such situations is an unfortunate example of a society that thinks that the traditional family unit is inadequate and archaic. This should be common sense: don't have children if you can't provide them with a stable environment to grow up in.

Oh, so I guess you approve of Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter and her wife raising their child without a father because they are wealthy and can provide for the child, so a father isn't necessary in their child's life just as a father isn't necessary in Bristol Palin's child's life because her family has money. I like the way you think!

That we do it for ratings or politics is unconscionable. In doing so, it dehumanizes mother and child alike. What is a difficult undertaking to begin with, raising a child, is made into a parlor game by punditry and thoughtless opinion of blowhards.

You deflected to Palin's ability to parlay her own misery and or mistakes. A personal agenda manipulation, IMO. I was clearly referring to the ratings whore, that is O'Reilly, and his dehumanizing of women and children. Apples and oranges, topically speaking".

Bristol doesn't feel a father figure is necessary either (except of course for the monetary aid she has sued Levi for).

Well she's wrong. I'm sorry, but do you honestly think I am so partisan so as not to criticize the daughter of Sarah Palin (whom I dislike)?

There hasn't been enough studies to suggest how children raised by same sex couples turn out. But the point I am making is that most normal people don't enjoy the notoriety and opulence that comes from being the children of politicians. If you think a 20 year old is fit to raise a child by herself, then you are sadly mistaken. And despite whatever opulence the family may have, a lack of a positive father role will have a negative impact on a child.

Why the double standards in this country?

Well let's see, which is easier for a child to understand: that their father was an annoyomous one-night stand and deadbeat that wants no part of them, or that their father bravely gave his life in the service of their country? At least in cases of the military the mother has the support of the father through mail and videos and monetary compensation, all evidence of love and care.

So you think fathers are unnecessary except on a purely financial level? Then why did anyone criticize Jennifer Aniston? She's rich enough to have 50 kids by herself. Sounds like O'Reilly just criticized her out of a "personal agenda, IMO".

You are so fixated on your point, you actually lose credibility IMO. Fathers are important. Children have matured famously without them too. Are you really trying to make either point with proof positive distinction? Give me a break. The point I was responding to was Mr. Joshua's. You never acknowledged the wisdom his post. Shame on you and your shallow agenda.

Punks will make light of the fact, that children grow up without one or both parents. Their personal misery and struggle is none of yours or Bill O's business. You personal agendas are irrelevant. Those children will do just fine without your help thank you. Unless you are willing to step in and help the kids, without question, your agenda is moot.

Help a kid or STFU. I've help raise a fatherless child. You have been measured and found wanting.

Wanting.
