1. Why do I feel this is a foreshadowing of Roe v Wade being overturned?

[Seabiscuit]

35. BINGO! Nothing more than a "News Byte" attack on Roe v. Wade.

[hollowdweller]

42. This makes the Anti Abort. folks feel good without doing anything for them

[gratuitous]

2. Does that mean . . .?

That he will order his military to quit shooting unarmed persons and stop dropping bombs on people who can't fight back, can't get away from the bombs and who never meant us any harm?

Or is life only worthy of sanctity for folks like him?

[stpalm]

5. will he stop sending our young men into needless death and destruction

and stop using bombs that kill innocent people?

[MaineDem]

39. "Young men" and women, don't forget (nt)

[ulysses]

3. sanctity of human life...

Right. Hypocritical fucknut.

[LibDemAlways]

4. Chimp doesn't seem to give a rat's ass

about all the Iraqis he's killed or all the soldiers who've returned in boxes. What a hypocritical asshole he is. But then, we all knew that.

[beam me up scottie]

6. I think he means "some" human lives.

[Seabiscuit]

36. Read: "Unborn" and " Born Again" "human" lives. Fuck the "born" humans

KILL! KILL! KILL!

Just don't abort those fetuses. And Baptize the entire friggin' globe for oil!!!

[GetTheRightVote]

7. Like * would know what that is ??? As long as * lives there is no sanctity

in this world.

:kick:

[GoBlue]

8. That still leaves 364 for killing

What a guy.

[brainshrub]

9. That's great news!

I bet he'll be commuting a few death sentences on Sunday!

No?

Oh, I guess he'll be unveiling a national health-care plan on that day!

No?

*GASP* You mean he's going to order all the troops out of Iraq!!!

No?

Well, I guess the sanctity of life day is a crock to make the fundies feel good about themselves while their tax dollars get siphoned off to Halliburton.

[Maat]

26. No one could have said it better, brainshrub!

[alittlelark]

10. WHAT is that grossness at the corner of his lips??

EEEWWWW !!!

PS - he is looking quite demented in that pic!

[Stephanie]

17. Somebody at Yahoo is cool ...

That picture is over a week old, yet that is the shot they chose to use to illustrate this caption.

[zann725]

37. Clearly meant to draw attention away from Monday, "MLKing Day"

A day that Katherine Blackwell no doubt 'observes.'

[gristy]

11. .............................................

.................speechless....this.guy.just.leaves.me.speechless.

Before clicking on this thread I was holding out hope, slim as it was, that this was a story from The Onion.

These mofo's have abandoned all pretense. They just unzip and lay it out there. Every friggin day.

[beam me up scottie]

12. I can't fucking stand him.

<snip>
"Working with the Congress, my administration has halted spending of taxpayers' money on international programs that promote abortions overseas. We continue to promote abstinence education, adoption programs, crisis pregnancy programs and other efforts to help protect life," Bush said.
<snip>

[NMDemDist2]

16. yeah except we support Walmart and other Chinese trading partners

when China is the only country on earth that mandates abortion of healty fetuses

so we don't send tax dollars, just every other kind of dollar

[beam me up scottie]

31. I knew the New Nazi Party would would stop at nothing

to prevent us from controlling our own bodies,(won't work anyway-we can and will fight back), but the arrogance of trying to take away the reproductive freedoms of women in developing nations is, is, I'm so pissed right now I can't even think of a word to describe it...

[Fovea]

13. he is falling apart.

Just look at him! I am not sure he will finish the term.
All those small vericosities on his Alky's nose, chin, etc.. the sunken
eyes and the cold sore.

Here is someone who is coming apart at the seams, physically and mentally.

[manly]

14. sanctity of life day

This has got to be a joke. Right?

[Stephanie]

Welcome to DU

Around here it seems the worse the news is, the more unlikely it is to be a joke.

[Nothing Without Hope]

15. Instrumentation alert! Hypocrisy rating meter PINNED!!!! Beeeep!

Boy does he look bad. It's not just his mental abilities that are eroding fast. Very scary.

[pamela]

18. Sanctity of life, my ass. (warning: graphic image)

[unblock]

19. Lol's. He's a flag draped coffin no-show!

When's National Dead Iraqi Women & Children Day?

[Donna Zen]

20. Just a little red meat for his base.

They throw out some nibbles for the base any chance they get. Afterall, how else are they going to keep them from caring that their jobs are leaving, their kids are dying, and they're about to lose their Social Security. Gin 'em up!

Roe v Wade: bushCo doesn't give a rat's ass about Roe v Wade, but if it keeps them cheering for the neocons, they'll do over throw anything. As David Reese once wrote: they'd have an eagle fucking party on the White House lawn if they thought it would get them elected.

[peacetalksforall]

21. Sanctity? This will go down as the ultimate in hypocrisy.

This is to appease fetus lovers, especially the ones who cannot abide MLK Day?

[kwolf68]

23. And for his celebration of the sanctity of life

-He executed a criminal
-Bomb a country
-Killed a bunch of animals who were in the way of a drilling rig.

Fuck you and your sanctity of life you hypocritical, religious nutjob asshole.

[Oversea Visitor]

24. Leave my Sunday alone

:puke: Bush dumb moron got no right to hijack the purity of Sunday
by trying to appear pious and pure. :puke:

[zulchzulu]

25. Must be Religious Reich fundraising season

That'll shut up all the non-tipping theocratic teatotallers in DC this week for the Coronation.

"Hey Bucky, didja hear 'bout our prizident makin' Sunndee Rat ta Laf day? Woo hoo!"

[janx]

28. Bucky...!

LOL!

[Jackie97]

29. Cool!

Since Dubya values life so much and religious freedom, then he'll do the following.

1) Stop starting wars that get several people (incluing women and children) killed.

2) Stop trying to make abortion illegal, which will get women killed from illegal abortions.

3) Stop trying to pass religious related laws like the marriage amendment (which it looks like he probably will. Woohoo!).

4) Stop promoting abstinence only education, which experts say will lead to more STDs being started.

5) Never again say that he'll have a crussade.

Oh, that's right. Dubya's full of it.

[Wrinkle_In_Time]

30. I am so glad...

...to read all the posts above mine. Thank you. I have nothing to add.

[LibertyorDeath]

32. Does he have no shame at all? What a hypocritical POS!

[PennyK]

33. This isn't new...

...he did the same thing every January for the last few years! I know, I never heard about it either.

[LynnTheDem]

34. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!

TOo hilarious, coming from a war-criminal responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people & who says you're not a patriot unless you believe the religion he believes!

Yer going to HELL, bush!

[RadicalMom]

38. He's the "anti-spokesman" for those ideas. n/t

[Malva Zebrina]

40. He is setting this up

and it will be followed up by many more over the period of a month or two--the word will be "sanctity of life" to be incorporated into anything anyone who gets the memo is saying, even if it has nothing to do with abortion. Women will buy the emotional pitch, and insist they be the purveyors of the "sanctity of life" by accepting a few cells is a "baby", is "life" and is "sacred" and mother's day cards, lauding them as occupiers of a white marble pedestal to be honored with a halo of sorts, and other gifts. Not only that, but other women who do not buy it,I suspect will be viewed as somehow flawed and as "haters" of life as the "unpatriotic" meme was exploited. They will eventually turn against their sisters who do not buy it. Those will be the "fringe", the atheists, the enemy of motherhood, the feminazi.

It is interesting also, that this comes just before the MLK holiday.

[hollowdweller]

41. Does that mean people get free medicine today? & ceasfire in Iraq?

[jsw_81]

43. He then proceeded to drop cluster bombs on two Iraqi villages

Gawd bless Murka!

[LizW]

44. My mom had to teach Sunday School this morning

She told me last night that the prepared lesson is all about abortion (she goes to a Southern Baptist church), but she was changing it and was going to also talk about war, poverty and capital punishment.

Think she'll get thrown out of the church?

[Skittles]

45. throwing bones to his sick base

didn't he also say he wouldn't push for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage?
