Republicans vs Science

I just read something that has absolutely baffled me. In the nation of Columbia there is a woman who had her windpipe replaced with cells grown from her own stem cells. This is a serious Roman Catholic country and they have stem cell research and even have surgeries! So can anybody explain to me why the United States hasn’t done this yet or even is working on something like this? Oh yeah we have “Dubya” and his “science is bad” cronies controlling medical research. You know something, I bet if stem cell research could save his Momma or Daddy, or even one of his underage drinking daughters he would fund stem research so fast the vacuum effect would pull the evangelical Christian church into the 21st century! These are the same people who when they can’t have children of their own turn to science and then say it is miracle they are having quintuplets (yeah the miracle of science!) but when science wants to improve life they scream you are messing with “God’s plan”. Hey maybe “God’s Plan” was to keep you sterile and not allow you to pollute the earth with your offspring? Have you thought of it that way?
Remember these are the same people who support reproduction research (fertility drugs and Viagra) but won’t allow a terminally ill person to die with dignity. I wonder if Bush needs any help packing his things. I know some people with trucks and we would be glad to get him out of the White House and on his way back to what ever rock he crawled out from.

10,000BC or better known as 10,000 Bad Cuss words...

because that what I was saying after watching this bad movie. Wow this movie stunk! It is amamzing that people who probably didn't even understand fire were wrapping their minds around advanced battle tactics.

Don't waste your time with this one!

Why guys get married......

this is going to get me killed......

What more needs to be said?

This is the front page of the Independent here in Colorado Springs. Really what more can I add to this picture? Like some of my friends I am happy to see a change in the leadership of this nation, but now the hard work begins. Many people assume I am a Republican because I served in the military, not true. Not all military people are Republicans there are many Democrats that serve also (much to the chagrin of the Governor of Alaska and her type of Republicans). I have been a registered Democrat since I was 18 yrs old. I am what they call a "Blue Dog Democrat". If you don't know what that means then you will soon (search Wikipedia on Blue Dog Democrats). Many of the Democrats that won in Republican states are called "Blue Dogs". We are moderate to conservative in nature when it comes to spending, but are more open to social programs. Our own John Salazar is a member of the group. As I said earlier the Blue Dogs are gaining ground in the Democratic Party and Ms. Pelosi needs to remember that and not try to force them into anything or else they will side with the Republicans. Sadly I really do not have much in common with the Speaker from the 8th District of CA (San Fran). I'm also not a big fan of Harry Reid also. I think the first change the new President should make is to the Democratic Party leadership, I don't think they are going to play nice.

Please somebody shut her up.......

Governor Palin made this comment the other day in North Carolina:
We believe that the best of America is not all in Washington, D.C. We believe" -- here the audience interrupted Palin with applause and cheers -- "We believe that the best of America is in these small towns that we get to visit, and in these wonderful little pockets of what I call the real America, being here with all of you hard working very patriotic, um, very, um, pro-America areas of this great nation. This is where we find the kindness and the goodness and the courage of everyday Americans. Those who are running our factories and teaching our kids and growing our food and are fighting our wars for us. Those who are protecting us in uniform. Those who are protecting the virtues of freedom."
So how do you define what a “small town”? What is the size of town before it no longer counts? 150, 500, or 1000? The town she comes from has around 5000 so I’m sure it counts. I come from a town that has close to 5 million people, I’m pretty sure Seattle is one of those places that the Governor wouldn’t put on her list of “Best of America”.
Do people actually write this stuff for her or is this like Bush when he goes off script? So I guess my 21 years in defense of the constitution didn’t count because I didn’t come from a small town. The pride I feel in my heart when I see the flag flying some how doesn’t count because I didn't come from a small town. The men and women from large cites cross America who gave their lives in the defense of this country doesn’t count because they came from a large city. Wow so sorry people you just don’t count according to the cover model Gov.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME! This is by far the most ignorant thing I have ever heard. Plus I’m pretty sure I’m offended. Let me think a moment, yup I’m offended. This woman needs to go back to where ever Wasilla is and never leave that town again. Her 15 minutes of fame are up.
She is by far one of the most ignorant politicians I have ever heard.

Another sad truth......
