In light of the President’s unthinking slight ot the athletes who participate in the Special Olympics—and keeping in mind the 90% eugenic abortion rate that sadly belies our supposed commitment to “diversity”—I thought it would be worthwhile to post Sarah Palin’s address to the Special Olympics given a few weeks ago. Whatever one might think of Palin’s politics, her family’s joyful acceptance of Trig into the core of their hearts illustrates the power of unconditional love. Her statements in support of the Special Olympics—which I believe the Kennedy Family played a key role in establishing— shows that some things transcend—or at least, they should transcend—our divisions. What a gracious presentation.
