Quote:1. I'm pretty sure that new lines of stem cells are prohibited because of the Republican party's opposition to the use of fetal tissue. BTW, I am opposed to their stand on this. I think if the cells are going to be discarded anyway, why not use them for research?
Bush has allowed federal money to be used to conduct research on a limited number of fetal stem cell lines; but he is supported fetal stem cell research just the same.
Quote:2. That's called the Road Map for Peace, right? Christianity and the Road Map are not mutually exclusive.
It is if the so-called Christian lays the pavement for that roadmap over the peace and security of the State of Israel. Bush says he is at war with terrorists, but he condemns Israel for attacking terrorists. It is unconscionable that Sharon had to pledge to Bush that the Israelis would not kill the likes of Arafat.
God's promise to Abraham:
Genesis 12:3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
God's promise to Jacob, originator of Israelites:
Genesis 27:29 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
Quote:3. He opposes gay marriage and supports a Constitutional amendment to ban it. I don't know his stance on civil unions.
The constitutional amendment that is now working its way through Congress would allow the states to recognize civil unions. And note that the issue of sodomite marriage has been around since the Clinton administration, but W waits until his re-election year before he comes out against it.
Quote:I've never heard George Bush trying to "claim fundamentalist status." Not sure where you're getting that one either.
That Bush thinks he is a fundamentalist was strongly implied by the Frontline program.
Quote:"Sodomites," eh? Interesting terminology. I'm not sure it will win you too many friends here. My advice is to keep your head down.
I have no need of friends if they preclude me from speaking my mind or telling the truth.
