Bush Embraces the Culture of Death
A BUZZFLASH EDITORIAL

The other day, Bush read one of his pandering anti-choice, anti-stem cell research scripts glorifying the "culture of life."

How hypocritical for a man who has come to exemplify the culture of death.

From his record-setting pace for executions in Texas to 9/11 to Iraq to Katrina to the worst mass shooting in American history at Virginia Tech, Bush is a man who embraces the culture of death.

That’s not to mention two additional examples, among far too many, of the Bush obsession with choosing public policies that are firmly rooted in his perverse joy in having the power to cause people to die.

Firstly, on stem cell research, in claiming to "save" dead embryos, he is condemning people to death who might otherwise live through the cures that stem cell research might provide. Secondly, he has no interest in prolonging the lives of poor people, who grow from embryos into America’s economically dispossessed.

And they are based on a death machine in Iraq for which he is bullying Congress into additional funding, because he and Cheney don’t want to be humiliated with a "loss."
