In which the middle-aged Peacenik mouths off about War Drones--and all the other things that make him cranky. Pnorny!

Ceasefires And Embryos
07.19.06 (7:09 pm)   [edit]
Instead of supporting a ceasefire to save lives, Bush would rather risk civilian lives and "collateral damage" in the hopes that Israel will somehow castrate Hezbollah. Instead of supporting stem cell research to save people currently living, he'd rather support embryos that may or may not be viable, that may or may not be adopted, that will likely develop in old age the very diseases and afflictions stem cell research may cure.

Bush, if "potential" lives are so sacred in your creed, why no outlaw masturbation, prophylactics, and non-vaginal sex? Why not pass a law that states sex is only for procreation...and then convince us that you've had sex only twice in your life?

That's what I thought...

This is what I don't understand about Bush and conservatives in general. The hypocracy here is just unbelievable. For a guy and a party who are so bent on pro-life sure don't have a problem in sending our troops off to fight wars in countries that we have no business being in. I don't understand his veto on the stem cell bill. Stem cell research is critical to our future. It provides many medical and technological advances that we can only imagine. All he did by vetoing this was halt the medical advancement process.

The policy of the right wingers are this: save and fight for "possible" life and abandon them once they are born. Look at the policies which screw and abandon the poor and sick. And once again we have another example of their desire to hurt these groups rather than help. It's ok for the pharmaceutical companies to be legal "pill pushers", yet for scientist to attempt to eliminate disease, this is morally wrong? I can't see the logic here.

Logic doesn't exist in religious nut-cases. It's there but not very deep and not very consistent. In the end, they have morals but no ethics. That's why Bush rarely, if ever, denounces his buddies who are caught stealing from the corporate cookie jar.
