This just in: Family Research Council's Tony Perkins just sent me this reaction to the news about Sarah Palin's teenage daughter being pregnant.
OK so now we find out that Sarah Palin’s 17 year old daughter is five months pregnant. I’m sure lots of people will take their shots at the pro-life Christian woman but hold on a moment. If you think Evangelicals are going to ditch her for this, you’re totally misreading the situation. As a matter of fact, they are ready to fire back at any potential critics.
Sources close to Sarah Palin tell The Brody File that the husband of the GOP Vice-presidential choice, Todd Palin, was arrested and charged with Driving under the Influence of alcohol back in 1986. He was 22 years old at the time. He was driving in a truck with some friends in the small southwestern Alaska town of Dillingham when he was pulled over for the DUI. As is customary, he was taken to jail briefly. Sarah and Todd Palin were high school sweethearts so they were dating at the time.

Leaders of influence including, Kay Arthur, Paul Cedar, Dick Eastman, T.D. Jakes, Myles Munroe, Jane Hansen, John Hagee, Ravi Zacharias, Michael W. Smith, Chuck Pierce, Sunday Adeleja, and Joyce Meyer are just a handful of those all around the world who are in unity calling for focused, united prayer on this day.
Disappointment is difficult for anyone to take, and so often it is the fear of disappointment that stops us from even trying to get what we want. In order to realize anything you want in life, you have to try.
I've written about Hezbollah's presence in South America before--specifically in the lawless "tri-border" region where Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay meet. The group is now apparently moving on to the friendly confines of Venezuela, courtesy of President Hugo Chavez, a staunch ally of Hezbollah's "parent company," Iran. This obviously gives Hezbollah an even stronger base from which to launch attacks against American and Jewish interests throughout the Western Hemisphere.&nbs
Here’s something that may play well with Independent and moderate women across America. Sarah Palin is not your typical pro-lifer. When it comes to abortion, she puts an emphasis on the woman just as much as the baby. She’s part of a group called “Feminists for Life”. Read more from Lifenews.com:
