Stem Cells and Soldiers in Iraq Jun 7th, 2007 by Job Conger The news proclaims that #43 will have his pen poised at the ready, following his return from the Big 8 conference in Europe, to VETO the latest bill trickling up from Congress providing federal funding for additional stem cell research. The world knows that human embryos discarded in the course of in vitro fertilization, which #43 and his sect (some would suggest, accomplices) endorse die, but they don't call it that. They have a special phrase for the action that kills untold thousands of embryos who die for no constructive purpose other than slaking the thirsty vanity of fertility-challenged yuppies.. They say they're merely "throwing them away." When #43 and his coven consider the deaths of more than 3,500 Americans serving in military uniforms in Iraq (conveniently forgetting the numbers of American civilians working there and dying there because they're too proud to pick tomatoes in Qaleefarnya). They say these brave men and women are "dying fer freedomishnessment-stuff." I think it's time we reconsider the nobility of that phrase. It's not as patriotic as it was before Americans began to awaken from their blissful ignorance. Let's use the phrase #43 insists on attaching to his other obscene vanity of denying federal funding of stem cell research. We're not sending our soldiers over there to be killed for the cause of freedom. We're only throwing them away. Doesn't that seem quite the more comfortable way to go here? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
