Now that they know what "Compassionate Conservatism" means, I wonder if the base is willing to move with the RP and abandon the traditional small government, fiscally constrained, individual responsibility concepts of traditional conservatism.

Jeffrey Hart is a senior editor at National Review, and was a speechwriter for Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan.

Here Bush was using the same word, “life,” to describe not only a minute clump of cells known as a blastocyst but also an actual human being.

Jeffrey hart is also an abortionist assclown and his opinions aren't worth the bandwidth they waste.

Advocate murdering kids on some other forum.

He may have written speeches for republicans before, but this tripe could have been written by Gloria Steinem.

[rhombus]

using an executive order, Bush blocked federal support for stem-cell research

I stopped reading right there as this statement wasn't true.

[JamesP81]

The conservative writer Andrew Sullivan

Talk about disconnected from reality.

[Seruzawa]

Yeah right. Some researchers promote eternal life through baby killing because they know that people will belly up and give them fat research grants. It's a con game. I expect that no real results will ever come from this research.

A society that eats its own young doesn't deserve to survive.

Beautifully put.

[L,TOWM]

longtime conservatives such as...George F. Will,

Another case of calling the cat a spaniel and expecting it to swim out and retrieve freshly shot ducks.

What a pile of snivel drivel.

Either the author doesn't understand the issue or he is deliberately misleading his readers.

Doesn't' matter which: reading past this line isn't worth my time.

Adolph Hitler and Dr. Josef Mengele thought they could cure people by experimenting on humans too. These idiots are going down the same path Hitler did to eternal destruction with this moronic stem cell argument. It always starts out real innocent, and then the hideous beast comes roaring out.

Overview
At the Auschwitz concentration camp, Dr. Josef Mengele was infamous for carrying out medical experiments on human subjects. These included placing subjects in pressure chambers, testing various drugs on them, freezing them to death, and various other usually fatal traumas. Of particular interest to Mengele were twins, gypsies, dwarves, and infants. Beginning in 1943, twins were selected and placed in special barracks.

Almost all of Mengele's experiments were of little scientific value, including attempts to change eye color by injecting chemicals into children's eyes, various amputations and other brutal surgeries, and in at least one case attempting to create artificial conjoined twins by sewing the veins of twins together. This operation was not successful and only caused the children's hands to become badly infected.

While Mengele's experiments were the most notorious, his behavior was not an isolated aberration. Other Nazi physicians also engaged in human experimentation at several concentration camps, including Dachau, Buchenwald, Ravensbrück, Sachsenhausen, and Natzweiler concentration camps.

And we thought only DUmmies resorted to comparing people to Nazis.

No one compared anyone to Nazi, you abortion cheerleader.

Someone did point out that murdering kids for parts has an historical precedent that people will want to avoid.

[Small-L]

...you abortion cheerleader

Why is it that when weak minds can't carry on a rational conversation and discuss the facts, they resort to calling people names? You have no idea where I stand on the abortion issue, but you feel compelled to demonstrate your ignorant vitriol by making assertions and name calling. Grow up!

BTW, when someone starts a statement with "Adolph Hitler and Dr. Josef Mengele ... too. These idiots are going down the same path Hitler", rational people would think that the writer is making a comparison between the author of the article and the Nazis. Only irrational people with a preconceived agenda would argue otherwise.

From your profile page: Then I turned to the Constitution party until I discovered that they advocated violating the Constitution that they claim to support by denying the rights of pregnant women.

And, BTW, the comparison to Nazis was fairly accurate.

"Bush blocked federal support for stem-cell research"

Why are you here pushing for increased federal spending and bigger government?

LOL!

Perhaps a more empirically grounded assessment of a weak-minded person is whether they even remember what they wrote on their profile page.

You're a pro-abort.

Don't be disingenuous.

Only irrational people with a preconceived agenda would argue otherwise.

No, rational people understand the difference between a caveat and a comparison.

[wideawake]

Looks like JamesP81 saw through your smokescreen too.

Typical pro-abort on FR: continual obfuscations if not outright lies.

Scuttle off back into the darkness to edit your profile page to cover your tracks.

[wideawake]

Well, these guys will murder anyone regardless of race or religion. They're even broader in their misanthropy than the Nazis.

[Small-L]

You're a pro-abort.

NO I'M NOT!!!! I am, however, opposed to using the police power of government to impose my view on others. There's a very big difference that you zealots don't seem to comprehend.
