Obama and Palin: A Study in Contrasts

We all make mistakes. We are all human. Humans occasionally make bad choices, even mistakes.

Christian Conservatives do not judge the person. Christians do not judge the mistake.

The judgment is on what the person does after they have made the mistake or shown a lapse in judgment. The sign of someone who possesses character is how they deal with the mistake or poor judgement.

The left does not understand this. The left believe the Christian right is always judging, which is not true. How people deal with their actions is measurable, the mistake or lapse is not, for we are all failed beings.

The left does not understand why the Right / Christian Conservatives have not abandoned Governor Palin.

They do not live on the same planet, and it shows how wrong the media is - every headline that claims the right is turning on Palin or problems are brewing for the right - reinforces the fact the left is operating without a clue.

It is not that a person gets pregnant that is the defining issue - it is how they deal with the mistake (assuming it is not planned and chosen) that determines the persons character.

Some people will turn to abortion, to prevent the person from making more mistakes, to allow them to live their life without the stress and burden of a baby.

Other people embrace the child, accept the pregnancy, and do the right thing - to get married and keep the child.

For the left - this defies logic. They see hypocrisy and contradictions galore. For Conservatives - there is no contradiction, for the issue is not the pregnancy, but how you deal with it - whether you stand up and accept responsibility or not.

Obama has said he would take his daughter to get an abortion if she ended up pregnant, rather than making two mistakes.

Palin / daughter have accepted responsibility, and will get married and keep their child.

It isn't about sex. The left always wants to turn it into sex. It is about responsibility - in whatever form or manner that may take - including sex.

But we are all human, and we all err. That does not define who we are, but our actions in response to the mistakes do.
