In response to comment 159. i would like to make a point about the morals of Christains during the Salem trails and the morals of Christians now. Sure they made mistakes hundreds of years ago but what is so bad about reform? Are they still killing innocents now? No, in fact, they are trying to save them. Perhaps you should stop getting on their cases for what their ancestors did and start trying to help stop the innocent killing. If you defend it so strongly you believe it yourself, right?

It’s amazing to watch the Christians and their concern for “life.” They must have become more decent since the times when they were not quite so adverse to killing. However, I have the solution to the embryonic stem cell controversy, I think. Why don’t the Christians sprinkle the stem cells with “holy” water to make sure their “souls” are “saved?” After all, that was the Christians’ favorite trick during the time that supposed witches and other Christian targets were hunted down and murdered. The condemneds’ “souls” were saved although their bodies were burned alive. In fact, when the Inquisition garroted its Spanish victims, they were made to hold a Bible in their hands as they were slowly strangled.

So perhaps the Christians could sprinkle the cells with “holy” water and baptize them, giving them names like SS0001, SS0002, etc. That way, their “souls” could ascend to “heaven,” a place of intense concern to Christians. As for the rest of us,we would benefit from the research on the physical forms of the blastocycts, while the blastocyst souls would ascend to heaven and take their rightful and deserved residence in the heavenly Petri dishes, being “saved” and all …

My only affliction, related to the stem-cell issue, is my outrage at the indigestible, intolerable reality that the most ignorant, religiously biased and scientifically uneducated of our lawmakers, have negatively affected the most toweringly important issue ever to confront medical science, thereby destroying any possibility of OUR National Institute of Health participating in stem-cell research.

It is even more incomprehensible that a, criminally installed, unelected president should have the final word on this gigantically important issue! Why this profoundly, morally and intellectually, defective east Texas white-trash, who has been stinking up Al Goreâ€™s house for the last five years, should be allowed to interfere in the conduct of medical research, which could directly and positively impact the lives of a third of Americans, is beyond reason.

There is no possible, logical argument against adding this crime against society to the litany of infractions, which mandate this utter foolâ€™s impeachment and removal from office.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE SUPPORT THE IMPEACHMENT INITIATIVE NOW UNDER WAY AND HELP END THIS NIGHTMARE, ONCE AND FOR ALL!!! CONTACT YOUR SENATORS AND CONGRESS-WO/MEN AND URGE THEM TO JOIN IN THIS EFFORT.

Actually, pro-onan campaign sounds good to me. Of course, it would be better to send your smart, plentiful, all-natural, left-turning protein to, say, Africa where it could be consumed by the starving masses yearning to be enlightened liberals. After all its just some dumb old useless dead cells hanging around in yer ‘nads. I say you should empty those noble balls for peace, progress and love.

For starters I think the Good should “sign” petitions advocating the mass transfer of lib sperm to Third World (haha) c(o)untries. How about a mass group-”signing” of the dress of a willing coworker or employee, a la Monica Lewinsky? No shame in that. Its all good. All natural.

Then we could send our free lovers and thinkers to show ‘em how to felch-feed their babies, maybe even apply “first aid” on a per-case basis.

[...] Among the billâ€™s opponents, Republican Senator Sam Brownback of Kansas made a spectacle on Monday when he used a 7-year-old girlâ€™s explanation of stem cell research to make his point. How comforting that the Christian right has such a wide range of authorities to quote on the issue. Senator Brownbackâ€™s source, a girl named Hannah, came from an â€œadoptedâ€ frozen embryo, which the Senator no doubt thought illustrated what the bill puts at stake very well. He explained it this way: [...]

” …you shall not enter Heaven but be forced to live out eternity in the fiery pits of Hell. You and your ilk are the devil incarnate and I rebuke you!”

There is another kind of person that deserves all the hellfire you can pour on them. Due to the pervasive feminization of society where boys have been turned into wimps all attention is focused on the womb and its contents. But the males are not innocent – far from it. The sad situation is that each day, and in some cases, multiple times daily, males the world over engage in the most abhorrent cellicide imaginable. I am referrring to masturbation where semen is routinely spilled on the carpet, on bedsheets, and in cases of exceptional force and pressure, even on the walls. On these unwelcoming surfaces the individual spermatozoa suffer and expire under the most dire conditions, sending shudders through good Christians. Can these masturbators not hear the screams of all the unborn murder victims? With a good amplifier you can probably hear the “aaahhs” of millions of sperm as they meet their doom on the living room carpet.

We MUST put a stop to this heartless genocide. After all, a sperm is just as much a potential half-human as an egg, no? We need laws, strong laws, to curb the masturbatory mayhem that is so popular with males. It has been known for years that entirely innocent sperm suffer and die for male self-gratification, but has anything been done about it? Nooo. Only the Christians have stepped up to the plate to deliver the unfortunate ejaculate from its fate. For this reason Christians do not masturbate, ever.

I suggest a nationwide anti-onanism campaign to save lives. I suggest a new poster to go along with the aborted-fetus one: a red slash across a hand wrapped around an erect penis with the text “Every Sperm is Sacred.” I think it’s an idea whose time has come.

Cmon, just picture yer average 150 year old liberal, stretched way beyond their prime years, no longer able to ThinkCritically with lightning speed and 100% accuracy, inevitably bent into some twisted troll-like figures by their lifelong egotism masquerading for benevolence and goodwill, seething hatred, and chronic, snide, vulgar derision of all and everything that they somehow disapprove of.

Stem cells will have even allowed them to defy and overcome the deadly effects of global warming that have killed lesser people. i.e. stem cell opponents. Good riddance, they’re the ones who caused global warming in the first place, just like their secret government agencies once invented the (all but vanquished) AIDS.

Their nefarious doings were all to no avail *cackle, cackle!* because the libs will no longer die! The Vigil of the True Guardians for Peace and Love will go on Forever!

Die Repugs! Long live ye stem cells!! Everyone do the Howard Dean war cry: YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGH!!!!!!
