Worlds Apart
Exeperpts from "President Discusses Stem Cell Research Policy" - July 19, 2006 - 2:08PM EST
Bush vetoes embryonic stem-cell bill
"Each of these human embryos is a unique human life..."
"...with inherent dignity and matchless value."
"We see that value in the children who are with us today. "
"These boys and girls are not spare parts." (Applause.)
"They remind us of what is lost when embryos are destroyed in the name of research."
"...they remind us that in our zeal for new treatments and cures, America must never abandon our fundamental morals. "
"...They are living proof that effective medical science can also be ethical."
"We must continue to explore these hopeful alternatives and advance the cause of scientific research while staying true to the ideals of a decent and humane society..."
"America was founded on the principle that we are all created equal, and endowed by our Creator with the right to life."
"And we can ensure that science serves the cause of humanity instead of the other way around. "
"Thank you all for coming and may God bless." (Applause.)
Like I said, this guy lives in another world. He just doesn't get it.

This is insanely heavy. I've never seen these photos anywhere. My god.
Your link to the additional photos is broken. Please replace, as I'd like to send a link of these to other bloggers I know.

Riiiight. Photoshop. If you don't like the pictures, that's the excuse. Ignorance is Strength. War is Peace. Whatever helps you get to sleep at night anonymous.
Anonymous,
Please do your research before you comment. The photo is real:

Boudreaux could not be reached for comment. His commander during the 3/23rd's Iraq mission, Lt. Col. David Couvillon, called the photo a sophomoric attempt at humor.
"Look, he didn't actually do what that sign says," Couvillon said. "This is stupid, lance corporal stuff that he thought was cute. But it's not, and I was informed the commandant of the Marine Corps had it and the Marine Corps will deal with this."
Real funny joke...I'm sure the Iraqis think it's hilarious.
