Gingrich: I'd Be Quite Happy Nuking Every Fucker In Sight But I'll Ban Stem-Cell Research

Is there a competition going on that I don't know about, one where the wannabees see who can sound the most ridiculous?

Talk about Talibangenical! Fuck me! these people are utterly insane.




Gingrich vows to ban embryonic stem-cell research, questions in vitro practices

By Karen Tumulty

LUTZ, Fla. — As former House speaker Newt Gingrich courts evangelical voters in advance of Tuesday’s Florida primary, he is drawing an increasingly hard line against the use of embryonic stem-cell research — a position that contrasts not only with that of former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, but also with statements that Gingrich himself has made on the subject in the past.

Speaking at a Baptist church in Winter Park on Saturday, the former speaker received a standing ovation when he declared that embryonic stem-cell research amounts to “the use of science to desensitize society over the killing of babies.”

And in a news conference Sunday, he said he would ban all embryonic stem-cell research, including that done on discarded embryos created by in vitro fertilization.

Gingrich added that he would also create a commission to study the ethics of in vitro fertilization, which has involved the creation of hundreds of thousands of excess embryos stored or discarded by fertility clinics.

“I believe life begins at conception, and the question I was raising was what happens to embryos in fertility clinics, and I would favor a commission to look seriously at the ethics of how we manage fertility clinics,” Gingrich said at a news conference outside another Baptist church here. “If you have in vitro fertilization, you are creating life; therefore, we should look seriously at what the rules should be for clinics that are doing that, because they are creating life.”

Scientists say embryonic stem cells are valuable in research because they can develop into any type of cell in the body. They are thought to hold the promise to treat or cure a variety of illnesses and injuries. However, social conservatives oppose the practice, because it destroys days-old human embryos.

In 2001, when then-President George W. Bush was considering new guidelines for federal funding of stem-cell research, Gingrich had indicated in at least two interviews on Fox News that he would support using government money for research on embryos in fertility clinics that would otherwise be discarded.

“For many of us, there’s a very, very real distinction between doing something with an unborn child, a fetus that is implanted, and doing something with cells in a fertility clinic that are otherwise going to be destroyed,” Gingrich said in one of the interviews, on July 10, 2001.

In the other, 10 days later, he added: “I think that there are ways to have appreciation for life, to recognize the sanctity of life, but nonetheless to look at fertility clinics where there are cells that are sitting there that are not going to be used to create life. They literally today, they’re unregulated, they can be thrown away. And I think the president, I hope the president, will find a way to agree that there ought to be federally funded research.”

Bush allowed federal funds to be spent only on 21 stem-cell lines that existed before his August 2001 decision. President Obama lifted that restriction in 2009. washingtonpost.com

Morning Maren,

I'm heading out the gap shortly for the rest of the day, I wondered if you might like to scour around and see if you could come up with anything further on this.

No bans shall be set against the current practice of importing poorly-educated women as brides for Dutch Muslim men

Don't put yourself out over it, but if there is something that's to hand on the subject?

Later then.

Good afternoon H

"No bans shall be set against the current practice of importing poorly-educated women as brides for Dutch Muslim men" http://vladtepesblog.com/?p=43273

I can only find a bizarre party program in Dutch.

Regarding a possible ban on the so-called poorly educated import brides, the Nederlandse Islam Partij says that the Netherlands only want to import highly educated people. They also think the word "import brides" is discriminatory.

You couldn’t make it up.

Nevertheless, I hope you have a wonderful day. M

As for the party program NMP (Nederlandse Moslim Partij), to indicate more precisely, "bizarre" mostly concerns issues such as blasphemy, sex, abortion, euthanasia, the same old stone age story.

For example, according to NMP blasphemy means: swearing, mocking a god or a supreme being and also saying or doing things that are deemed to be reserved for a deity. Just to inform you, should you be interested.

The party leader.

“We want to work respectfully with other religions”.

He's a laugh a minute ain't he?

“My main concern is that many Muslims are not participating in politics from an Islamic point of view”.

''Islamic point of view'' Total jihad until they achieve an Islamic state.

“It’s forbidden to vote”, says one man, who was born in the Netherlands. “We don’t believe in a system which has been made by human beings”.

Not much hope of an integrated society there then!

His blue eyes are following the Dutch flag outside of the hotel

If he gets his way, there won't be a Dutch flag.

And you're right; you couldn't make it up.

"No bans shall be set against the current practice of importing poorly-educated women as brides for Dutch Muslim men"

Which is turning out to be poorly worded. More likely to be:

The Netherlands favours stricter rules for family migration.

Which has always been the case (in recent years) of most industrialised countries.

Until the rule of Brussels came along.

Try emigrated to to the US or Australia if you are unskilled.

The punishment for which, shall be a hundred lashes followed by stoning to death.
