Imagine sitting down for dinner with the news on in the background. Everyone is enjoying dinner while half-listening to the latest political intrigue going on in Washington and in the media. Suddenly one of your guests starts calling 14- and 17-year-old girls who just happen to be a child of a notable politician "whores" and "tramps." How, as father of a young girl yourself, could you nod or laugh? I have often wondered what kind of state of mind it would take to find such a thing acceptable or even funny.
Unfortunately such conversations are going on all over the political spectrum these days. The nastiest of allegations and accusations are coming from the statists, directed towards the Tea Party and like-minded politicians. The statists and especially the far left seem to have willingly and consciously abandoned all morality, taste, and ethics for the purpose of winning a political battle. They seem willing to put the lives of young men and women at risk to win an election, and the trend is disturbing.
Take for example a young woman named Bristol Palin. Her mother entered the national political scene when she was 17. Bristol herself had not violated laws or abused anyone, or even held political office; she simply had a mother who was a politician, and Bristol had made an unfortunate decision that resulted in her becoming pregnant at a young age. The vultures of the left swarmed in on the young woman with the vilest accusations imaginable and they continue to do so today. They alleged she was promiscuous and that she was "white trash," and national shows like Saturday Night Live implied that her own father was the father of her baby.
