Targeting Trig

Yesterday was a very long day.  Being an average 52 year old American male, I had to go to the Cardiologist for a Nuclear Stress Test, a Sonogram, and a Plaque Predictor.

As if I was not stressed out enough, I came home and read the following on my favorite Conservative website, hotair.com. (Hi, Ed!  Hi, AP!).  Allahpundit had found it on the outrageously Liberal website wonkette.com:

“Why just celebrate tax day today, April 18th? It’s also Trig Paxson Van Palin’s 3rd birthday. His mom went to a lot of trouble to leak amniotic fluid over 8 states to make sure that he arrived in this world somewhat alive,” writes Wonkette operative “Barbara_i,” reminding us of the occasion. “Sarah went to a whole lot of trouble to name him ‘Van Palin,’ a ‘Van Halen’ reference he will never get.” Indeed.

Enjoy yourself today, Trig. Have fun! Get drunk (on purpose this time)! We can hardly wait for 15 years from now, when you will finally be able to vote and will be sent off by your mother’s junta to fight the Union in the Great Alaska War. It’ll be quite a loss. You’re the smartest one in that family.

That strange man yelling unintelligibly at Sarah Palin? He’s merely a lowly shepherd proclaiming the birth of our savior. Today is the day we come together to celebrate the snowbilly grifter’s magical journey from Texas to Alaska to deliver to the America the great gentleman scholar Trig Palin. Is Palin his true mother? Or was Bristol? (And why is it that nobody questions who the father is? Because, either way, Todd definitely did it.) It doesn’t matter. What matters is that we are privileged to live in a time when we can witness the greatest prop in world political history.

What’s he dreaming about? Nothing. He’s retarded.

The author of that waste of bandwidth, added the following to this horrific post:

UPDATE: I regret this post and using the word “retarded” in a reference to Sarah Palin’s child. It’s not nice, and is not necessary, but I take responsibility for writing it. For those who came and are offended by this post: I’m sorry, of course. But I stand by my criticism of Sarah Palin using her child as a political prop.

–Jack Stuef

When I read this classless tripe, as the father of a special 24 year old daughter, I  almost threw my computer monitor out the window.  There are certain things that writers, who have any sense of decorum at all, will not write about.  The under-age children of a political figure is one of them.  Our special or challenged Americans are another.

The Left’s defense of this garbage is the feeble argument that Sarah Palin is making political hay out of Trig and his condition.

That’s awfully hypocritical, especially since they cast the first stone.

Since Trig arrived in this world, the Left has accused him of belonging to  Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol.  And when they weren’t doing that, they were scurriously declaring that Palin should have aborted this sweet little child of God, embracing eugenics, similar to the way in which President Barack Hussein Obama’s Regulatory Czar, Cass Sunstein, did when he wrote the following in his 1993 book, The Partial Constitution:

A restriction on access to abortion turns women’s reproductive capacities into something to be used by fetuses. … Legal and social control of women’s sexual and reproductive capacities has been a principal historical source of sexual inequality.

Restrictions on abortion, surrogacy and free availability of pornography are troublesome,” he wrote.

I do not mean to oppose equality to liberty. … Liberty does not entail respect for all ‘choices.

Additionally, in a 2003 book review, Sunstein argued there is no moral concern regarding cloning human beings since human embryos, which develop into a baby, are “only a handful of cells.”

A handful of cells?  How elitistically simple.

My “handfull of cells” is presently in school, learning how to live on her own.  She is already trained in Microsoft Office Products, having been taught at that very same school, where she also served on the Student Council.

What Liberals do not seem to understand is that fact that special, and all other, children are not disposable handfulls of cells, nor are they targets to be attacked for political gain.

Just as I love my daughter, Sarah Palin very clearly loves Trig.  And, just like every other human being, they are fearfully and wonderfully made.

    I never knew this about you KJ.
    Beautiful story of your baby.
    Humankind starts out as a handful of cells. But they are amazing in that they rise forth to produce a precious human being. A child. Innocent, nonjudgemental, trusting.
    People with these challenges have so much to offer us.
    The people with disorders like Down’s that I have known have so much love to give.
    They can teach us quite a lot about ourselves.

    Excellent post, KJ.

    Calling Stuef a jackass, Charles, is insulting to jackasses everywhere. This man is in a sewer of his own.

    When I started reading this I wondered why you were giving any attention to this scum. I wouldn’t. But I comtinued reading and discovered what a gifted writer can do with an article that starts with a discussion of the vilest excrement. Exceptionally well done.

    That kid doesn’t look like he’s in any pain. And I didn’t know Down syndrome made you stupid. I’ve seen many Down Syndrome people. They seem to be much happier people than, say, homosexuals.

    Great post my dear friend. This is the only way to even comment on an article like that. We will be home Friday night, and will see you Sunday. Hope all went well at the doctor.

    It’s ironic that one must be born in order to decide if another should be aborted…

    Congrats to your daughter (and to you, kj) on her accomplishments, so far…

    As for the left, this is yet another example of them having no shame…

    “A restriction on access to abortion turns women’s reproductive capacities into something to be used by fetuses.”

    Wow. A handful of cells, which at the moment has no nervous system, let alone a brain, decides to use another’s body? Or even a non-entity non-being decides to unite a sperm with an egg and thus use a uterus. Very twisted logic, twisted towards evil.
