A Matter of Principle

carefully selected garbage: "The Wall Street Journal features this editorial today which applauds Bush's position on embryonic stem-cell research based on a fairly simple maxim: tax money should not be used to fund something that some taxpayers find offensive.

He simply refused to allow taxpayer money to be spent on a practice millions of Americans consider morally offensive.

The Bush policy doesn't ban stem-cell research; it merely says that taxpayers shouldn't have to finance the destruction of embryos that they consider to be human life.

Abortion may be legal, but we don't force taxpayers to subsidize it.

I look forward to future Wall Street Journal editorials calling for an end to tax money funding nuclear arms, weapons research, executions, corporate subsidies, military invasions, and 'faith based initiatives'."

I can't agree more. Let's start with something small. Abstinence Only sex education programs have been shown to be ineffective, so why should I as a taxpayer have to pay for them.
