The Palin Family, specifically Sarah and Todd Palin are a disgrace. I have been holding fort on the Palin family for a while now, but watching the Levi Johnson interview was the last straw with me. Bristol Palin and Levi Johnson were engaged last summer. Both Levi and Bristol say it was a not a shotgun marriage, and looking at how the whole thing shook down in terms of media exposure, this is probably true. As has been widely talked about, the engagement of Levi and Bristol has been called off.
While I find this disturbing, this is not what has caused me to change course. What has caused me to change is the petty arguments that are keeping the baby from the hands of the Johnson family. The Palin family is not letting the Johnson family see the child much after the break up. They really are only let Levi see him about once a month. This makes no sense as earlier Bristol said that Levi is a hands on father and it is clear that he cares for the child.
Instead, the child is being denied to him via petty argument. Now both sides have their own thoughts on the matter, but who is right in these arguments does not matter. The fact that Levi’s sister or Bristol is right ought to have no bearing on the child. The sad truth is that this child does not have a father, and that father is being removed by the Palin family for petty reasons. I find this sick and clearly go against the Pro-family arguments that Sarah Palin fights for outside the home.
People have argued to me that the Palin family was hypocritical preaching abstinence while at the same time their children have sex. I found this argument bad because it appeared that the Palin family was doing all the right things to support the teenage couple. Now there are rifts do to petty arguments and they are hurting the child. Until the Palin family treats their family as they ought to, I will not be supporting them. I pray that they change their ways.
