Do you mean the Nazis, the one billionaire George Suros collaborated with in WWII? So open minded and free thinking of you, also, to instantly equate me or my opinions with Rush Limbaugh and Nazis in the same breath. My opinions are my own, thank you. I think freely, read what I want, listen to talk radio, watch FOX news, and God willing, will continue to be able to think freely and clearly, and speak my opinion.
Here is my opinion, again: Obama is wrong to "reverse the embryonic stem cell ban". As I understand it, it is the government funding of this research that had been previously banned. It did not apply to existing embryonic stem cell lines. The original poster (sorry, not you) opined that lifting the ban is good and that it may cure Parkinson's disease. But I think it is bad. Here is why: It requires cloning human embryo cell lines, it has not proven as effective as other less controversial stem cell research, and it causes a very high rate of cancer in laboratory animals (and a few humans on which it was tried in Korea). Teratomas and germ cell tumors are very common. Sure more research is needed. But one bit of research success that would be needed in advance to make pleuri-potential embryonic stem cells a reasonable approach will be a cure for cancer.
And was it your opinion that you would prefer the Heritage Foundation and other conservative think tank organizations be censored, or just marginalized because of those who contribute large amounts of capital to make them possible? Is it OK, on the other hand, for George Suros to contribute massive amounts of money to liberals and their web sites, or is putting money behind opinions and political agendas only OK for liberals and socialists?
No, I am an unabashed Conservative Christian. I think Rush Limbaugh is correct in his political opinions. I think President Obama is a wrong in his opinions policies. I will vociferously oppose those agendas and policies that are, in my opinion, ruining this great nation, chief among them, Socialism, excessive taxation, and redistribution of America's wealth by its ever-expanding, intrusive government. The 1st Amendment gives me that right, by the way, and my doing so hardly disqualifies me as a "moderator", unless you want those sorts of opinions to be actively censored on this politics and religion forums. Is that what you suggest? I hope other Conservatives will also become more vocal in their opinions and start opposing what I consider the ruinous course on which modern liberalism is hell-bent on steering for this God-fearing nation.
Also, to Rush Limbaugh and the Heritage Foundation, you may add add Friedrich Hayek, Thomas Sowell, Ron Paul, Alan Keyes, Ann Coulter, Charles Krauthammer, Bill O'Riley, Cal Thomas, Clarence Thomas, Robert Bork, Whitaker Chambers, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Ronald Regan, and perhaps most of all, Jesus Christ as those who have been influential in my readings and the formation of my Conservative Christian principles and beliefs. Bash away, if you wish. But if anything, the last few months have convinced me that I will never again remain silent, never again fail to rise in opposition to pernicious liberalism and socialism at ever opportunity I am presented. I contribute financially to the Heritage Foundation and to the NRA and I am proud to do so. I intend to now be just as "in your face" and vocal as any liberal out there making my opinions known, and it it offends them, I care not. So help me God. Amen
As a matter of fact, I shall contact Gene and ask that he remove me as a moderator from this forum it that bothers you. Have a nice day.
