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
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).
