The Sanctity of Life

One phrase that come up quite a bit in abortion discussions is "sanctity of life." What about that? Do you think there's a thing as sanctity of life? Personally,, I think it's a bunch of shit. Who says life is sacred? .....god? Great, but if you read your history you know that god is one of the leading causes of death and has been for thousands of years. Hindus, Moslems, Christians, Jews, all taking turns killing one another, because god told them it was a good idea. The sword of god, the blood of the lamb, Vengeance is mine, onward Christian soldiers. Millions of dead people. All because they gave the wrong answer to the god Question: Do you believe in god?

No.

BAM! Dead.

How about you? Do you believe in god?

Yes."

Do you believe in MY god?

No.

BAM! Dead!

My god has a bigger dick than your god.

For thousands of years all the bloodiest and most brutal wars have been based on religious hatred. Which of course, is fine with me; anytime "holy" people are killing one another, I'm a happy guy......but please, don't kill each other and give me that shit about sanctity of life."

The CIA doesn't kill anybody, they 'neutralize' people. Or they 'depopulate' an area. The government doesn't lie, it engages in 'disinformation.' ...Israeli murderers are called 'commandos,' Arab commandos are called 'terrorists.' The contra killers were known as 'freedom fighters.' Well, if crime fighters fight crime and firefighters fight fire, ......... what do freedom fighters fight?

So the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has upheld the ban on what the conservatives call "partial-birth" abortions.

President Bush said "it affirms the progress his administration has made to defend the 'sanctity of life.'"

Bull. Shit.

I am oh-so-more-than-overly-tir

ed of the conservative religious right abusing the word "sanctity" to tailor it however it suits them. I am really supposed to believe that these people believe that life is sacred?

Let's see here:

* We have been in a "war" in Iraq for over four years now. It has become a civil war and an occupation. Today, at least 166 people were killed in Baghdad. I don't see any of the conservative proponents of the "sanctity of life" wringing their hands over it. I believe the term used is "collateral damage" - the almighty US of A is fighting the Good Fight, and ya just gotta accept this kinda shit happening.
* Over 3,300 US military have been killed since the start of this egotistical war. But, that's the 'Merkin way. Ya gotta go show those foreigners who's boss and bang 'em upside the head with Duhmocracy. If only they'd learn to be 'Merkin and Christian, the world wouldn't be in such a goldang mess. So long as they don't actually try to MOVE here, of course.
* A young man with chronicled mental illness plotted and carried out the massacre of 32 people at the Virginia Tech campus two days ago. But God forbid we 'Merkins have to give up our constitutional right to carry a gun so we can blast the hell out of anyone who crosses our path. Instead, we should be ridding our country of "gun free zones" ... if only every student and faculty member at Virginia Tech had been carrying a concealed weapon, they all could have shot the bejeebus outta that Korean idiot before he killed his first innocent victim! And while we're at it - he shouldn'ta been here in the first place! This country is only for flag-waving, Chevy-driving, kick-ass True 'Merkins!! Yee-hah!!!!

Sanctity Of Life.

Please.

As long as it's an American, white, Republican, Christian, heterosexual, not-yet-born life. I believe the phrase this sect is looking for is Sanctity Of Birth. After that - screw 'em. Send 'em off to die in an ego-driven war. Let 'em get mutilated by bullets that Our Dear Constitution Says We Must Have The Right To Own And Fire. As long as we make damn sure they get born in the first place. That's all that matters.

Of course, if they're gay, or mentally impaired, or somehow Imperfect, hell - THAT'S cause for an abortion. But those aren't the kinds of people we want to be 'Merkins anyway, now, is it?

"Sanctity of Life" my ass. Once Every Single One of these yee-hahs starts agreeing to see all existing human life as sacred, and actually worth protecting and respecting in ALL ways, then I might consider their opinion to be relevant. Until then ... uh-uh. I will not wear your blinders.

Some of this is stolen. You can find out where from yourself. I am tired been up for almost 36hrs now. Talk at you later.
