Bristol Palin and her boyfriend, Levi Johnston have broken off their engagement just 2 & 1/2 months after their son Tripp was born. Yeah, Tripp. You'll remember Levi as the boy who had the "deer in the headlights" look throughout the Republican Convention in 2008. News that Bristol was pregnant emerged a couple weeks after John McCain announced Sarah Palin as his running mate.
So, now this couple is no more. How will little Tripp ever get a stable upbringing without his parents together? What will God think of him? What will Sarah Palin think of him? What will the people who think God and Sarah Palin are the same think of him? Oh wait, who cares that they think. Kudos to this young couple for not giving into the pressures of forcing this kid to live in a house with parents who don't love eachother. Now, Tripp will have two parents that love him and don't spend their nights yelling at eachother behind the bedroom door. Tripp will be fine. How many of us grew up in what was known as a "broken" home and turned out just fine. My hand is up. Yours? Let's give another sigh of relief that Mayor Mooseburger didn't win the Vice Presidency because if she did, the pressure would really be on for these kids to get married. Now, this staunch republican family can get a taste of what half the country already deals with: divorced co-parenting. Aint that a Tripp.
I loved your post, I totally agree with you in the sense that they were not ready for marriage. I believe that it was more about politics then religion, I mean common why they did not practice the so called "abstinence". I believe in God but I hate hypocrite puritans,this was all about politics.
