Politics

I don't think I've ever talked about politics on here before but right now I'm so very frustrated that I have to write about it. Today I had a class about Women in American History. I pretty much knew that going into this that it was going to be a very liberal feminist class. I mean I'm all for women's rights but there are somethings that I don't agree with. So of course Governor Sarah Palin came up. Okay here is the thing I don't think anybody really likes her in that class. Some of the things that they talk about are that she is either going to be a bad mother or a bad VP or do a half okay job on both. I think that she can do both. Be a great mother and a great VP, because here is the thing if her husband was running for VP nobody would ask those questions. Also, her abortion stance in right on in my opinion. I realize that people disagree and this is the United States of America we are allowed to disagree. I believe in the sanctity of life so to me abortion is never right. Also her pregnant daughter, apparently this is a huge issue. My view on that, there is only so much a parent can do to hopefully prevent their teenager from getting pregnant. Even if her mom had been a say stay-at-home mom her daughter could have still gone out and gotten pregnant. I mean I know well not personally but I know of Christian girls that have gotten pregnant outside of marriage. Oh and it was mentioned in my class today that Evangelical Christians may not vote for Palin because of the belief that a man should be the head of the household and not be up front leaders in church. Which is a slightly untrue statement, I believe that women should not be preachers however I do believe that women are necessary in leadership especially to lead other women. Trust me my church has tons of women leaders. Anyway I wish I had said this but James Dobson is as far as I know completely behind Palin. Therefore if Dobson is behind her than Evangelica Christians take that into consideration more than the argument about women being leaders in church. With all that I think Palin is awesome and could do great things for this nation. I hope this post makes some kind of sense. Oh and for history I'm reading Thomas Paine's Common Sense which I kind of feel is appropriate right now LOL.
