Stantis, Quit Breaking Our Balls
Looking back at yesterday's foray into the stem cell research debate, Winslow reminded me of someone that I'm sure Stantis didn't have in mind. Who do we know was adamantly opposed to abortion, yet when her husband fell victim to alzheimer's became the leading supporter of embryonic stem cell research?
That's right: Nancy Reagan.
The husband of President Ronald Reagan. The man who once wrote this article, early in his presidency, talking about "more than 15 million unborn children have had their lives snuffed out by legalized abortions." But boy did his family flip flop on that issue when it turned on those embryonic cells in abandoned frozen embryos offered a chance to cure President Reagan's illness, didn't they?
Stantis just doesn't get it. It's usually the Republican Conservatives that are the hypocrites on these kinds of issues. Take my friend Conservative Mel. Totally opposes universal healthcare. But was the first to bitch when his grandmother's medicaid ran out and the hospital kicked her out after two weeks before she was healthy enough to leave. And when his step daughter might have needed surgery and it would have cost him an arm and a leg even though he has insurance. And I'm sure like Nancy and Ron he opposes embyronic stem cell research and all cases of abortion because of the "sanctity of life" - until someone he loves is striken with a disease that might be cured by it or that stepdaughter gets pregnant after she's raped by some escaped con with a hook for a hand (and I pray none of those things happen to his family - just making a point).
But this week supposedly in Prickly City it's the Liberal Winslow who's opposed to people harvesting his cells. Um, what? Where is Stantis even getting this stuff? When have liberals said "oh no, you can't take ______ because it's mine mine mine!" Sure doesn't sound like any lefties I know. We're the folks who don't mind raising taxes if it means helping the country during a time of war.
I guess Stantis is saying that Moral Carmen is so good and pure that she refuses to do anything that might harm another human soul if it means helping the rest of us. She would never use embryos that are a mass of a dozen cells that are frozen somewhere and will eventually destroyed, because in her mind those cells are the equivalent of you and me (if that's the case dammit, make it pay taxes too). She's holier than thou, dontcha know.
Yet it's funny - I don't hear Miss Moral opposing a war where over 3,000 American souls have been lost because of Bush's lies. I don't hear her crying over the half MILLION Iraqis that have died because of the war. She isn't calling for us to intervene in the genocide happening in Darfur.
Nope, she's whining about dolls that are dressed too sexy. And punching Winslow in the face when he does something she doesn't like.
Get off your damn high horse, Stantis. Before you fall off, end up paralyzed, and have to flip flop on the issue. Because we all know you would like you do on every other issue when it's not popular anymore.

What the fuck is going on with the drawerings today? I thought the dude was all fixed up. Oh, and that Conservative Mel sounds like a closet homo, too. Go Bears.
