Their second-oldest son, John David, is a pilot and owns the plane. It’s not like a jet. It’s teeny tiny.

From Bristol Palin’s blog:

I’m a feminist who is constantly talking about the patriarchy and sexist ideas of acceptable femininity. . . but this would piss me right off.

I’m so tired of Joe, man. So tired. Also, I think he has a drinking problem.

How did “Joe The Plumber” get extended into Average Everyday Joe Sixpack America? What’s next, “Normal Average Regular Everyday Joe Sixpack Hotdog Football America”?

I was not raised fundamentalist. I was not even baptized and my religious upbringing was in total zero. I was raised like this. Emotions weren't acceptable, and I was told to smile and be happy on the regular. It's very much a WASP thing, and the evangelical portion grows from that... IMO

I honestly act as a therapist to my husband. He didn’t really learn how to express emotions so sometimes he’ll get really weird and moody, take it out on me and when I point out he’s being unreasonable, suddenly realize that he’s sad and we have to sit down and workout his feeling, so he can understand why he feels…

I am an atheist and frequently use phrases like “why the hell would you do that?” or “Oh for God’s sake” or after one sneezes bless you. These are cultural artifacts. Like christmas is at our house.

I’m sick to death of the people saying, “The Duggar kids are always happy and smiling, so they’re obviously a great Christian family.” No, they’re fucking not. They’re beaten unless they act happy.

Same here. I started getting psychiatric diagnoses and medications at age 10 because my mother just couldn’t fathom that our tiny little fundie church-elementary school setup was bad for me. It didn’t fit in with her view of the world, so the problem must be me. By the time I’d graduated high school I had been in and…

I wish I could say this was uncommon. But growing up in fundamentalism, we were taught that the only acceptable emotion was happy and blessed. You weren’t allowed to be angry or sad or disappointed. I wasn’t in a cult like this (Thank the Lord,) but what I was taught wasn’t so different. I actually had to learn how to…

It’s sad that your comment makes me realize at least she’ll get a six month break from pregnancy to heal both emotionally and physically.

Someone asked me if I thought he really had a sex addiction, and I said, “no...I think he’s a human.”

As much as I can’t stand this guy, he doesn’t need “treatment”. This is what happens sometimes when your family expects you to fulfill a role that is perhaps not what you want for your life. This guy ISN’T about family values, being married etc. And that’s fine. But the pressure of his family and church’s expectations…

Hearing about the way her parents raised their children makes me very sad.

:(

Same, but I’m going to predict that the judgment is going to be SHAAAAADE. Here’s why:

that was the saddest shit ever. I laughed so hard at that character before I knew it wasn’t just a made up cosmetic doctor...I still feel dirty about it.

Considering that Jorge Ramos is also an anchor at Univision - and considered the most trusted journalist in not only spanish language news but news in total - I guess referring him as simply as a reporter makes no sense whatsoever.
