Opinion isn’t a fact, it isn’t right or wrong. Opinion is a belief or feeling that people can’t defend.

It’s hard to take Sarah seriously as an expert on anything considering her naked pictures are slapped all over the Internet.

Based on the objectivity I’m seeing from you here Sarah , I can assuredly say that just like you believe that Obama’s voting record ‘speaks for itself’, that your ‘selling your body on the internet’ while living as a Christian, and a conservative also speaks for itself?

Please, please, please… things are never as black and white, never as simple as you make them out to be…. Never. It’s almost never just a 1 or a zero (yes or a no). If that’s the case, then Palin is to blame for her daughter’s pregnancy, and there is not further story (end of story). But, being an analytical thinker type of guy (I’m in technical marketing, it’s my job), I know that as much as I’d love to make a villain out of Palin, there’s likely more to the story that anyone will ever know, and that when the press speaks, especially during an election year, you can bet that 95% of the time, it’s twisted and evil (Darth Vader style).

So please, … please, don’t oversimplify the case to help prove your point, ..this is the one thing I’m faulting you for (objectively).

Anna, I understand what you’re saying about her being “wrong” with her facts, but I think she merely used supporting evidence – which we can all be guilty of when we want support our point, right? We rarely present the other side’s case… that would dissolve our own efforts.

Whoever posted Sarah’s pay site… what do you think you’re doing, seriously? You don’t know anything about Sarah, when she started that site, how it’s updated – nothing. Do you even know what Sarah thinks about it herself? You just went and made Anna’s argument & constructive comments completely childish and took it to a battlefield it should have stayed away from. And she doesn’t update it any more. She hasn’t for a very long time.

I admit as well it is very ironic for a Conservative to have a pay site like that – but that goes back to my original point – everything isn’t black & white, some things are gray… you know?

I just feel an inherent need to defend Sarah because I talk to her more, I guess… *shrugs* She’s like me – we both screw up when we present our views sometimes… we’re slightly too passionate, I think…

I will run off though – this isn’t my place of course

I know about her pay site. Anybody that’s been in “the scene” for more than a few years knows about it.

I’m not going to judge her on what she did in the past. I’m not perfect so who am I to say anything? I don’t know for sure because I’ve been out of the “clique” for awhile but I think when she got pregnant she stopped and hasn’t done anything with the site since then.

Is it kind of ironic for such a conservative? Sure, I think so. But I can’t say anything to her about it she hasn’t already heard, trust me.

I think what seems to have frustrated people the most about Sarah’s initial post is not that she is pro life vs. pro choice. I think what liberals like myself found offensive is that she’s presenting her opinion as the absolute truth with no room for wiggle, but then uses “proof” that has absolutely no bearing on the argument she’s making. I don’t think she’s wrong for being pro life, although my political leanings differ. I think that a: she’s disrespectful at times in the way she presents her opinions, and b: she jumps to conclusions and makes judgements based on statements and “proof” that have little relevancy to her initial claim.

It wasn’t about right or wrong. Her “proof” was invalid. It had absolutely nothing to do with Obama’s view on abortion but she was using it as “proof” to say that Obama would force his daughter to abort an unplanned pregnancy. Like I’ve said before, this isn’t an abortion debate to me. It’s about using valid and REAL proof to prove an opinion MIGHT be true.

And no, Wikipedia is not the end all be all in references which is why I said to “start” there. Of course there should be more research done. I use the Wikipedia article because I’ve read a LOT about this topic and it seems to be right on par with most of the information I see coming from credible sources.

not to offend you, but what makes you think you’re right and she is wrong? that’s a pretty arrogant statement laced within your disagreement. unfortunately for you, sarah being against abortion & using her own version of “evidence” to argue a point does not make her *wrong* and it does not make you wrong, either. i hate when people think it’s all about being right or wrong… that is true ignorance to me. i’m constantly criticized for my opinions & i take it into consideration & sometimes even change my mind, but when people tell me i’m flat out WRONG – that’s just ridiculous in the world of politics.

also – quoting a wikipedia article in any post where you’re trying to make a legitimate argument is pretty hilarious. even if it does cite “sources” – anyone who gives credit to wikipedia has no significant background in research.

that being said, i agree that sarah dramatized partial birth abortion.

in closing – i’m defending sarah because she pissed you off because she completely disagrees with you & so then you had to carry it over and make it a black & white issue where she’s the loser & you’re the winner. unfortunately, that’s why we have so many struggles in politics today.

it’s all gray area & compromise… & i hope sarah realizes that, too… she’ll reach much more people if she presents her opinions slightly differently. i think she knows that, though.
