Stem Cell Holdouts

Too Many Stupid

or just plain uneducated.

“ Stem Cell Silence: Maybe Democrats Want to Destroy Embryos It appears as if it may soon become easier for lives to be saved without lives being destroyed. Great news, right? *snip* You’d think so, but in the everything-is-partisan world in which we live, celebrations are limited to one side of the aisle.*snip* There would thus be no reason whatsoever to destroy embryos for the purpose of conducting stem cell research, and certainly no reason to create embryos for the purpose of sacrificing them. Unless, of course, destroying embryos is really your agenda, and no one would embrace the destruction of embryos as an agenda in and of itself. *snip*  Or would they? Embryonic stem cell research has become one of the left’s strange article-of-faith type issues in recent years – along with their certainty about global warming and their emotional investment in America’s defeat in Iraq. Embryonic stem cells not only could cure various diseases, but to listen to some activists, there is no doubt whatsoever that they will – and if you oppose this agenda, you simply oppose helping suffering people. *snip* Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were silent. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) issued a statement dismissing the relevance of the development and vowing to press ahead with embryonic stem cell research anyway, because “scientists may yet find that embryonic stem cells are more powerful.” *snip* [W]hen skeptics suggest that other forms of research would present fewer ethical dilemmas, why do activists insist that it simply must be embryonic stem cell research, because nothing else will work?  Here’s a thought: While conservatives are troubled by the creation of life for the purpose of its destruction – an act that reeks of playing God – many liberals embrace it for that very reason. What could be better, after all, than doing anything to which the Christian right objects? ” This is a brilliant observation by Dan Calabrese, if only because it validates what smart people already thought. This recently announced advance was was well into being considered fact before last year's elections.  Embryonic Stem Cell's, and President Bush's refusal to pour federal money into them, was aside from Iraq the only issue democrats put forward.   It worked for them, because ... and I take no joy in stating the obvious, because I am better informed, and smarter than virtually every stinking democrat alive.  I'm a better American too.  Y'all can make the same claim.  How did we find ourselves on such a lofty perch?  Simple.  My kids, your wife, his brother-in-law, and that nephew are too often lazy, ignorant, and careless voters who have not yet caught on to feckless liberals, and the careless, even criminal, media that sustains them. Well Hooray for me, and you too.  Guns for us, sticks for them. I mean this in a constructive way.
