Mr. Holland wrote in his letter, “Also, aren’t conservatives supposed to be the ones who don’t think it is a good idea for unmarried 17-year-old schoolgirls to get pregnant? Sure sounds like there is a problem with walking the walk with this one.” Well Mr. Holland, no one I know, whether liberal or conservative, thinks that it is a good idea for 17 year olds to get pregnant; the difference lies in how each side seeks to deal with it when it happens. The liberal solution is to run to the nearest abortion clinic so that the minor child, with or without her parents being notified, can erase her ‘mistake’ and exercise her right to ‘choose;’ the conservative solution is to do what the Palins did, love and support the child, even if they are disappointed in her actions. The liberal idea is to treat the unborn child as an inconvenience that can be taken care of with a simple medical procedure, whereas the conservative attitude is bring the unborn child into the world and give it a chance to become whatever life has in store for it, but to make sure above all else that the child has a chance to live!
p>And if we are going to disqualify the candidates due to the fact we know little about them, and whether they “live as they talk”, then we can DQ Obama right now. We know that he talks about Change, but chooses a running mate who has been in the Senate for nearly my entire lifetime (and I am almost 37 years old); Obama tells us about his deep and abiding faith in Christ, yet he can’t seem to acknowledge that Christ is the only way Christians know to get into Heaven; and he claims to not know when life begins (it’s above his pay grade), yet he knows that life isn’t so precious that it should be protected even if it survives a botched abortion. Yes, Obama talks as good a fame as any I have ever seen, but his walk is a mess. br> — Eric Edwards br> Walnut Cove, North Carolina /p>

4 years later and American politics is still as partisan and indignant as it was when this article was written. How do we as a nation dig ourselves out of this mess?
