Evangelical leader critical of Palin choice

[Gerald Creasy]

Not much ignorance here. In fact, the ignorance was in Sarah Palin who exposed her child to down's syndrome by giving birth after 40.

And for that matter. I've known enough down's syndrome children in my career and mother's brother, who was a down's child, to know that they are a huge energy consumer.

You guys are straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel, yet once again.

You're an idiot.

Under-judging the difficulty of a down's syndrome child is what what my Mom was talking about. The kid sleeping around, well, that was me and the Apostle Paul. Remember that part where he said that a deacon must have his family in order first? Oh, but I guess we don't apply that to politicians. After all, John McCain is a fornicator and an adulterer.

Response: With your democratic leanings you should pretty much just attempt to remember the glass house in which you live.

Of course, not that you would listen.

Gerald...I concur....

And I'd like to add a question....With this type of statement....Does "who knew" support abortion...

I'd also like to add that I find it appalling that a "Christian" could make such statments about disabled individuals like this....who cares if they are "huge energy consumer" they deserve to live like everyone of us...

You know, I was going to respond to this with correct medical information, but I don't think it is worth my time.

Y'know, articles like this one from Bauchum and comments like Who Knew's show why good people don't go into politics. A lady who, by all appearances is a good Christian, gets into the race and is immediately excoriated by "Christians" because she's "not fulfilling the traditional biblical role of a woman", or "not taking care of her child", or, oh the shock of it, she raised a daughter who is HUMAN!. You expect this crud from non-Christians, but for it to come from our own people?

Response: Exactly, makes you then wonder who "our own people" are.

So THAT'S why Michael Jackson wears that mask all the time. He doesn't want to catch Down's Syndrome.

Who new: Sarah Palin didn't "expose her child" to it. The child was born with it. It is a genetic code problem tied, at times, to the age of the ovum at the time of conception. An older ovum (that's an egg for you and the folks in Rio Lindo) will carry an extra copy of a chromosome that is particularly receptive to a certain chromosome found in sperm cells that, when they link, results in the DS. If she'd been 35 at the time of conception, the risk would've been elevated. At 42, it would be even higher.

FYI: My wife has an IQ of 145. Her mother's age when she was born? 42.
Connection? Nope, probably not. But, I doubt we'd be having this conversation if the news had broken that the young Palin had engaged in intercourse with a boy and she turned into a genius. There is no proven link between exposure to semen and catching intelligence, either, in case you were wondering. Just so we're clear on that. Take Paris Hilton as a case in point. She oughta be Einstein by now.

That was worth posting twice soulsearcher!

Please forgive me, guys. I don't why, but lately there have been a couple of "double posts" by me. When I try to delete one I only have an option to edit.

In actuality, more down's syndrome babies are born to younger mothers than those over 40. Of course, this would make sense to most of us since more babies are born to those younger than 40 than over.

Well, y'all can have Sarah Palin. Best of luck living in the consequences of your lives lived with the kind judgement that you've all displayed. Bye now.

Buh Bye. Don't that the screen door hit you where the good Lord split you.

I have heard Voddie preach a few times at the baptist cemetery here in the Ville. While I like a lot of what he says. I really have to question his motivations on this one. To me it feels like a hit piece, trying to make others feel like they are hypocritical on the issue.

I think you mean pointing out that they are. Well, not hypocritical, but definitely judgment clouded by political expediency.

You obviously didn't read my posts about the pick. I think it was bone-headed. Time will tell, of course. But, in any event, my reasons are way different than yours.
