My great grandfather had parkinsons disease and lived for nearly 40 years with it. I just can't picture him saying that people should be forced to support dubious research or abortion so he could get better.
Agreed.
very good observation. The democrat party is the party of death: Abortion is their number one issue - it steers their every decision. Embryonic stem cell research is another. Which party has embraced Dr. Kevorkian's policies?
My granddad has Alzheimers, has had it for 5-6 years. He would never approve of this type of research even if it meant finding a cure.
Yeah, I agree. I am for research, but I don't think it should all be federally mandated/funded. With that said, I have no idea where to draw the line.
I get your point. This whole string of issues is tied together, and is indicative of liberal thinking. It all started with Roe v. Wade.
I work for a Life Science/Biotech venture capitalist.
Not only are we NOT investing in embyonic stem cell research, no one is asking us to invest.
(This is significant, we get dozens of hairbrained business plans sent to us everyday)
Stem Cell research is the excuse, not the reason Ron Jr is doing this.
I often wonder what he will be when, or if, he ever grows up.......
That is good to hear. I would have trouble if someone asked me to invest in that type of research.
He's also an embarassment to his father proclaiming he's an atheist. Hes a big liberal who's now being held up by the liberals and MSNBC has hired him as a political consultant. Mike Reagan is the real deal.
I would agree...what angered me, and caused me to post this article, was the the fact that he was speaking at the DNC.
The modern world
is an endless fountain of
fringe stupid people.
If we shape ourselves
to suit them, then God help us.
But, of course, He won't . . .
You are right!!!!!
I think it started before RvW. the environment was there before the USSC decision. I think it started before FDR - and that it started from within the dem party, yet is not confined there, for JFK wasn't exactly liberal in his policies nor ecopnomics - he is actually the father of supply-side economics, dubbed reagonomics by the press.
We have a family member who could significantly benefit from this type of research. That being said, the government cannot get into the business of dealing with the after effects of abortion. But of course the Republicans never seem to make a clear concise argument on most issues and the Dems always distort the truth.
"I would agree...what angered me, and caused me to post this article, was the the fact that he was speaking at the DNC."
I understand. I can't get angry about it, though. He's been "acting out" for almost the last twenty five years in public, so this is just a continuation.
Its "Mommie Dearest" without the rationale.
You may be right, but I am not really educated in political history. I only know what I have seen since I started paying attention in the 1980 election. I was a grand 9 years old then, and life was wonderful...no worries!
