It's not that they don't have children...it's just that they turn them over to others to raise and therefore they do not recognize or understand loving gestures of children. 

This strikes me as an excellent example of sibling bonding with Piper practicing her maternal skills. Looks like an image of youthful innocence practiced with intent seriousness {ever notice that the younger a child, the more intent they are in trying to comport themselves in an adult manner?}. 

The only thing this episode illustrates is the desperate need that the MSM get in touch with their humanity {as well as that other small matter that's lacking - objectivity}.

I am sure that Mr. Carr would not have "wrinkled his nose" if at the Demo Rat convention, a shot of Michael Moore "Kitty Licking" Joe Bidens hair plugs had been shown.

Mr. Carp  would probably described it as a "historic moment in time".

and watch one of these idiots. They have gone so far over the deep end with their worship of Obama that they now pick on teenagers and pre-school kids. No words can express how disgusted I am with them.

This is such a loving gesture from a caring child to a sibling. Also, I dare any women out there to tell me they never ONCE in their lives have smoothed their own hair to put it back behind the ear...when they were younger, so they wouldn't have flying locks.

This expression of love and affection by Piper should never be viewed as disgusted or un-normal. It's as American as apple pie. And as loving as the American family. Piper loves her baby sibling, and she is grooming him as is normal for siblings who care for one another.

I could make a comment about Matthews grooming Olbermann, but I won't go there because THAT would gross me out.

I love the Palin family and all they represent as Americans. Typical, loving American families. My older sister used to do this to me all the time, so does this make me abnormal? I don't think so.

Sarah IS the real American Woman and the MSM are scared to death and do not know what to do.

The little girl's spontaneous act of licking her hand to fix the baby's hair reminded me of the love that motivates such a sweet moment. It reminded me of when I was a kid and my Mom would lick a hankee and wipe dirt off my face; I hated it then (you did too:-). Now I'm a father and I've done the same to my son. I understand.

Those journalists must live in a superficial, cold and lonely world.

"Why can't I just eat my waffle?" -- Obama

Mark, what a great find.  My wife was a couple minutes late coming in to watch the speech and I told her as soon as she arrived that she had to watch "the little girl" (I didn't know her name at the time), that her radiant smile and her absolute natural manner just made you want to keep watching her.  Now they are trying to make this out to be disgusting.  Again, it's a case of them trying to make something out of nothing in order to advance their agenda.

The woman who was suspicious of Carr was entirely correct in being so.  I would say her antennae were up, unlike many of our "conservative" representatives in Washington, who succumb to the need to pander to the liberal elites in the beltway.  "I’m working on an answer because I don’t think it is the last time that question is going to come up."  Duh!  You work on a good answer, just as Barry works on his answere trying to fool us all into believing he is something he is not. 

Commenter liberal_bug_zapper had it right:  "It makes you wonder how we as parents, even good parents can protect our children from the corruption when the public schools are doing everything in their power to corrupt the children."  Carr, Obama, and all the rest are just a part of the "long march through the institutions" that is an ongoing process, and getting hold of the minds of our children at as early an age as possible is an integral part of the process.  Jon Voight has commented on this in several of his interviews and in an op-ed in the Washington Times.  See here for more on this.  Just an excerpt:

The "long march" idea, as far as I can tell was first concieved by Antonio Gramsci.  I first ran across it at FrontPageMag in an online book they have up in Adobe Reader format, Radical Road Maps:  Uncovering the Web of Connections Among Far Left Groups in America, by James H. Hansen.  From page 54:

 THE LONG MARCH THROUGH THE INSTITUTIONS
This term refers to the long-term plan of Communists, radicals, and their supporters to work their way into vital establishments that shape opinions. Once again we turn to the work of another foreign Communist,
an Italian Marxist named Antonio Gramsci, who was active during the 1930s. He pondered the historic inability of Communist parties to mobilize workers to seize the means of production and overthrow the
capitalist ruling class, which Lenin had envisioned. Gramsci’s new idea was to focus the attention of radicals on the means of intellectual production
as a new lever of social change. He urged radicals to acquire “cultural hegemony,” meaning to capture the institutions that produced society’s governing ideas...

An absolutely chilling, yet enlightening article that explains the process of the long march and more, that has been occuring since the 1930's, can be found at American Thinker:  Cultural Marxism.  (note:  emphases mine)...The new battleground, reasoned Gramsci, must become the culture, starting with the traditional family and completely engulfing churches, schools, media, entertainment, civic organizations, literature, science, and history...Reasoning that if Christian sexual ethics could be undermined among children, then both the hated patriarchal family and the Church would be dealt a crippling blow. Lukacs launched a radical sex education program in the schools.  Sex lectures were organized and literature handed out which graphically instructed youth in free love (promiscuity) and sexual intercourse while simultaneously encouraging them to deride and reject Christian moral ethics, monogamy, and parental and church authority......Additional intellectual firepower was required: a theory to pathologize what was to be destroyed...Thus, anyone who upholds America's traditional moral values and institutions is both racist and fascist.  Children raised by traditional values parents, we are told to believe, will almost certainly become racists and fascists...everyone raised in the traditions of God, family, patriotism, gun ownership, or free markets is in need of psychological help.

Note the popularity of Wikipedia (just for one example)- it comes up with nearly every search done, and courtesy of PT (I can't find the link to that post), it has been pointed out that it is loaded with extremely graphic descriptions and pictures of sexual images.  There are schools that get away with this too, teachers tend to push the limits as far as they can in the name of free speech.  Note the last line above:  "everyone raised in the traditions of God, family, patriotism, gun ownership, or free markets is in need of psychological help".  The National Association of School Psychologists wants to help:

The commission advocates examining parents and homes for anything that might point to a “physical or mental condition [with] a high probability of resulting in a [child’s] developmental delay” ­ something way beyond the present capabilities of the mental health profession ­ beginning with a mandatory Nurse-Family Partnership component.

Why the extraordinary emphasis on parents? The Commission and, indeed, most of the mental health community believe that mental “disorders” of parents occurring before children reach the age of six “can interfere with critical emotional, cognitive, and physical development, and portend a lifetime of problems in school, at home, and in the community.” Therefore, “treating the parents’ mental health problems also benefits the child.”

“Treating parents” means psychotherapy and drugs, and the initiative calls for a mandate to provide “social and emotional check-ups” in all primary healthcare facilities. This means parents are supposed to be surreptitiously assessed for mental “illness” every time they walk into their physician’s office...

Just what we need.  More liberal, nutball shrinks trying to take over our children's minds.  It reminds me of the scenes in "Miracle on 34th Street" when the Macy's shrink tries to pychoanalyze Santa Claus because dear old Santa whacked him over the head with an umbrella for trying to ruin a young man's life with his shrink psychobabble.

I am not a huge McLame fan, but he is a good, courageous and honorable man, I just think he is wrong on some of his policies and is too (almost) eager to cross the aisle and "work with" our liberal "friends".  But I am a huge Sarah Palin fan.  She is the real deal, you could see it in her eyes, her demeanor, her speech and the way she has lived her life and raised those children.  My biggest fear for her is that when they do get to Washington, they are going to run smack into the wall that has been erected in the form of the liberal bureaucracy.  The long march has succeeded beyond their wildest dreams, and though they seem not to be able to grab the last vestiges of power, i.e. the presidency and it's power to appoint judges, unless someone like Reagan/Palin/Jindall eventually gets in along with a sympathetic majority in congress, we will lose and most will not even know it.

They think flashing crotch shots is Vogue 

 But they are the Libs elitist. Lets all bow. 

Lord, Help Us! 

  When I was watching Palin's speech and the camera went over to her daughter holding Trig and trying to fix his hair up with her palm,  I sprung up a bit in my seat, but before I could finish giggling, "How cute!", the camera had already panned away- did anyone else notice how quickly that happened? or was it just the network I was watching- (usually I watch FOX but who knows at that moment)?  I think the abruptness of the pan away was deliberate- like they knew it was sooo good that they had to jump away as to stop the positive effect they instinctively knew was going to be generated by such a sweet, loving and totally precious sight.  That helps Palin, and NO WAY we're going to do that!!!!

Liberal, nasty media scumbags- only have contempt for us...
