The Right's Favorite Chant: "Why Should My Tax Dollars Fund THAT?"

I keep hearing all these whity righties saying this with regard to stem cell research.
Kind of ironic, no? They expect our dollars to fund:

  • lying to kids saying condoms don't work and only abstinence will
  • senseless wars
  • their prescriptions for Viagra while denying basic GYN care and contraceptives to women
  • only teaching their creationism in public schools
  • tax free status for their hate-mongering preachers
  • their trips to Wal-Mart so they can buy toilet paper really cheap from the world's richest store that refuses to pay health insurance for its employees
  • their insistence on gas-guzzling huge trucks and SUVs
  • their desire to use vouchers to keep their kids away from "coloreds and spics"
  • their nutso politicians and judicial nominees
  • their agenda
  • their nutso causes
So who starts listening to the other half of Americans who don't want just creationism taught, senseless wars lied about to wage, the inequity between paying for male erection drugs but not contraceptive and womens GYN health, fair and balanced judiary and representative bodies?

Ah.. but that's the message from the whacky right: "We love life so the rest of you drop dead!"

Culture of Life my glutimus maximus (although my Bush years diet is making it more minimus all the time).
