Pres Bush comments regarding the death of Terri Schiavo

"I urge all those who honor Terri Schiavo to continue to work to build a culture of life where all Americans are welcomed and valued and protected."

All Americans? All Americans are not welcomed or valued or protected, regardless of what you say, President Bush. Your past polices and beliefs have proven this time and time again.

yes he did. It's currently on the front page of CNN.com.

You don't actually think Karl Rove put him up to this, do you, CK? :)

Hehe.

millions mourn the death of Schiavo???? How many of them ever met her? This whole thing is just sick.

Already we're hearing about how "the nation" is mourning. But perhaps what we're mourning is the loss of our privacy, our precious freedoms, and a checked/balanced government that functions as it was desgned to, from 1776 on.

First of all, how many other deaths inspire this notoriously closed-mouthed President to step forward and discuss grief within minutes of the citizen's expiring? Start with the soldiers and work your way down the list. He euphemizes military death, always referring to it as someone having "...paid the ultimate price ..." WE are now paying the ultimate price for having watched congress and this President and the Governor of Florida, and a perpetual Martin Luther King wannabe, Jesse Jackson, inject themselves into deeply personal affairs of the lives of citizens. As Birch, the arch conservative judge in Florida stated, they all acted "...in a manner demonstrably at odds with our founding fathers' blueprint for the government of a free people..." You can't state it any more bluntly, or accurately, and once again, this is from Judge from the farthest right.

except feodor that as a gay man, I and my partner are NOT "welcomed and valued and protected" by Adolf Bushes policies.......and for his royal Assness to even say the line shows just how much a hypocrite he is

"The essence of civilization is that the strong have a duty to protect the weak," Bush said. "In cases where there are serious doubts and questions, the presumption should be in favor of life."

Ok, Dub...there are serious doubts and questions that being gay means you're evil and destroying civilization. So shouldn't you err on the side of life here?

Oh, and by the way, I love that he says protecting the weak is the essence of civilization. I encourage you to dive into your history books and find examples where this is the norm and not the deviant.

omgosh, gotta love the hypocrisy in the Bush Administration.

---

We should all work for that - however coming from Bush it is the definition of the word hypocrisy. His administration has never worked to build a culture of life where all Americans are welcomed and valued and protected.

Culture of life in my opinion includes abolishment of death penalty in my book... Bush has a long way to go...

Meanwhile, while "millions" mourn Terri Schiavo, a woman who exists for most as a 2D video clip looping endlessly in their heads... I spent the day at the funeral of a 16 year old who died waiting for a double lung transplant that didn't happen in time. She was a terrific kid with a wonderful mind, a sense of humor, and a love of life that stayed with her until her body gave out. To me, that is the much greater tragedy.

Absolutely! Donating organs really needs to be pushed to the forefront. What the hell does Oprah talk about everyday?
