Another week, another big mistake by an increasingly radical President Barack Obama and his leftist Congressional cohorts in the Democratic Party. The latest follows fast on the heels of the first three major mistakes during Obama's first 100 days in office: the closing of the terrorist detention camp at Guantanamo Bay, the ending of the 'Mexico City policy prohibiting the funding of foreign abortions, and the irresponsibly bloated Federal budget that has been mischaracterized and misnamed as a 'stimulus' plan. This week's entry? The President's ending of the ban on human embryonic stem cell research. In their 'Mistake #1', the Prez and the Dems set a course towards the release into the United States or other nations of individuals who have proven by their actions and words that they have made and intend to continue attacks on the U.S. and American citizens. In their 'Mistake #2', the Obama administration took its first actions against human life by opening the door for U.S. funds to flow towards entities that will provide abortions. In their 'Mistake #3', the President and his Congressional allies have foisted a massive budget on the people that can only be considered a first step towards the Socialism of the American government. Here in 'Mistake #4', the most far-left President in U.S. history again attacks human life under his usual guise of trying to better the human condition. In defending and even in promoting his decision he tosses out his old, reliable 'I am a man of faith too' argument. But what faith? What is it that Barack Obama has faith in, in what does he believe and hold sacred? Certainly not in the Word of God, or in the teachings of Jesus Christ, who taught us to respect and care for all human life at all times. No, this is a decision based purely on pressure from the very special-interest groups that the President swore with one side of his forked tongue to fight against, and yet with the other side embraces with abandon. This time it is morality itself that he is abandoning to those special interests in the science world. The fact of the matter is that in order to harvest the stem cells which his actions will allow experimentation upon will require the destruction of that human being embryo. Definite, no-doubt-about-it killing in order to potentially, possibly, maybe take some type of step forward in the research towards cures for diseases, illnesses, and conditions. And all for no reason. As quoted by The Washington Times, Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn stated "There is no valid reason for destroying human life when science is continually proving that the same cures and treatments can be achieved by using other, more ethical, avenues." This is a purely political and ideological move by Obama and his backers. They frame it as a progressive, humanist overturning of an ultra-conservative and religious-based Bush policy when in fact it is far more simplistic than that. It is a choice by the Obama administration to embrace the death of humans in pursuit of potential help to others. The President and backers of his new policy call the Bush policy barbaric in that they say it represented Bush's choice of ethics over science. In fact, President George W. Bush fully supported scientific research and advancements, when consideration of ethical matters was a part of the equation. Obama and his followers have tossed ethics out the window completely. You cannot claim to be trying to save lives when in doing so you are at the same time ending them. Obama and his ultra-liberal supporters believe in life only when you can cradle it in your arms, and in so doing forget from where we all came. And all of that killing with no guarantees, and as Coburn stated when there are other options for this research. So why do these scientific lobbying groups want to destroy more human life when they know there are other methods and sources? Because the current supply of embryos is not enough for them. They want more. More embryos means more research which means more funding which keeps them in business. Damn the lives lost, they will continue to put on their sham of a research program by directly destroying lives. They have foisted the lie on the American people that this research will lead to cures and treatments for cancer, Alzheimer's disease, diabetes, and any other bugaboo that they can use to conjure up sympathy from the American public. They have no proof of this whatsoever. If these scientists fail, they can always say "hey, we only said that it was possible." Meanwhile, just as in the abortion ruse, millions of human being embryos will have paid with their lives. They hate to hear it framed this way, but it really is quite simple. This is a direct matter of life and death. The lives and deaths of the human embryos involved. Philadelphia's own Cardinal Justin Rigali had this to say after the Obama decision was announced: "President Obama's new executive order on embryonic stem cell research is a sad victory of politics over science and ethics. This action is morally wrong because it encourages the destruction of innocent human life, treating vulnerable human beings as mere products to be harvested. It also disregards the values of millions of American taxpayers who oppose research that requires taking human life. Finally, it ignores the fact that ethically sound means for advancing stem cell science and medical treatments are readily available and in need of increased support." This choice of scientific experimentation over human life is the 2nd time that Barack Obama has chosen against life. I am certainly glad that whatever faith it is that he is practicing is not a part of mainstream America. I also hope that those average Americans are keeping an eye on all of the mistakes being made by President Obama and his Democratic colleagues in the Congress. The most heinous and irresponsible will continue to be listed here in the ongoing 'Obama-Dem Mistake' series, the entries for which you can access by clicking in to that below label.
