Where the facts lead us

Obama has called an end to the so-called "war on science" waged by the Bush administration. The charge, to anyone intellectually honest enough to examine it, was totally bogus. It was never more than a democrat talking point, one of many that were part of the "Bush is a moron" narrative the democrats were peddling - and the mainstream media were buying and regurgitating - for eight years. There was no war on science during the Bush administration. What there was was a recognition that science unrestrained by ethical considerations can work to man's detriment as well as to his benefit.

Obama used the occasion of lifting the ban on embryonic stem cell research to take cheap shots at his predecessor - and utterly false ones at that. He stated that from now on, in his administration, science will not be driven by political considerations, but will be driven by "wherever the facts lead us." But it is the democrats who politicize science, with their religious embrace of climate change, their dogmatic insistence on the right to harvest human embryos for whatever ends they desire.

So Obama is willing to harvest human embryos - humans in their most vulernable state - because that's where the facts of science lead us. Okay. But the pure, unadulterated "facts" should lead us to conclude that the strong should always be able to take whatever they wish from the weak: their stem cells, their kidneys, their corneas, their very lives. After all, the idea that human life at any stage has intrinsic value is not a scientific notion at all.

The Chinese -remember the mantra "Socialism kills" - already harvest organs from political prisoners, to be peddled on the gray market to the well-heeled and well-connected, a perfect description of today's establishment liberals. The organs probably end up in the guts of Gucci-wearing Obamites from Hollywood burning through their third livers. And the "donors?" They end up in the garbage heap, the same place where we dump our "failed" abortions, little babies, untended, sucking a few desperate gasps of air before they pass away, alone. While their killers and their political enablers celebrate National Day of Appreciation for Abortion Providers. (Really.)

Do you really think we're that far away from the Chinsese? I don't. That's the conclusion to which the facts lead me.
