"Culture of Life"? How about "Culture of Bullshit"?
Obviously "Life" is not real high on the list of priorities or we wouldnt be vaporizing children,along with common citizen in Iraq, or allowing hospitals to pull the plug on disabled black babies, or cutting healthcare benefits for working class and poor americans which can ruin or even end their "Lives" to make room for tax breaks for the wealthy.
So that right there proves "Bullshit", and a great percentage of americans beleive the "Bullshit", and spread more "Bullshit" via word of mouth, media and religion.

George Carlin is right. The best product this nation puts out is good old fashion, american "Bullshit".

1. Check Brownstein's article

7. not to mention if "life" were the primary issue
the GOP would be moving legislation through that would actually help Americans' lives, like health care reform, education, reform of foster care, etc.

in typical GOP theocon form, they care about "life" before one is born (with the exception of pre-natal care) and just before death....the obviously feel that in between, in the words of john stewart, people can go fuck themselves - unless their big donors....
