So, I'm wondering how much of your own money all of you <em>RANTERS</em> have given to this cause? You want my money (via tax) to be used to fund the research, but I would guess that most of you have never freely donated one red cent. Hmmm.... really makes me think that you aren't a true believer in the solution if you can't back it up with your own $$$. I give to what I believe is right, you should do the same before you rant about what my tax dollars should be used for.

What are we progressing towards? Well, let's examine what these people are in favor of. 1) Weak Military 2) high taxes 3) Civil rights for terrorists 4) no restrictions on any type of abortion 5) welfare 6) a total lack of any christian symbolism 7) open borders 8) voting rights for illegals and convicted felons 9) An end to the 2nd amendment 10) No accountability in public schools Looks like they want us to "Progress" straight into the abyss.

John Kerry made his service in Vietnam the center piece of his campaign and was called out for his lies in 1971. Your side then called the swift vets liars. Apparently the democrats only have a need for the military when it helps pad their resume.

Research has been done on Embryonic Stem Cells and has produced nothing but tumors in lab animals. Yep, let's spend more money on this waste of human life and time.

Supremely ironic that they rely on the products of advances in the Science of Evolutionary Biology to get their babies (rather than playing the hand the Lord dealt them), then get all pious and sanctimonious about their "snowflake baby" cells-in-a-tube, and expect they should get to dictate science policy for the Federal Government. If it weren't for the science, morons, you couldn't have the god-damned babies in the first place!!! Whatever happens to the surplus fertilization products should be left to the discretion of the god-damned scientists who pioneered the god-damned process in the first place.
