David Sirota: The Party of Death
snip

Indeed, in the simultaneous health care and Afghanistan debates, Republicans are really going on record as being objectively pro-death -- and frankly, the message is even more blatantly pro-death than even Rep. Alan Grayson (courageously) made it out to be.

Think about it: On health care, Republicans are arguing that Democrats are "rushing" legislation through Congress -- legislation that would bring down the astronomical number of deaths that occur thanks to our broken health care system. At the same time, they are attacking President Obama for not more quickly escalating the Afghanistan War -- an escalation that would likely result in a large number of American and Afghan deaths.

1. And they think they also have a monopoly on Jesus as well.
They like to think of liberals as being godless or immoral. :shrug:

2. Yes, but they imagine Jesus would be carrying a sub-machine gun
if only the technology existed back then.

Media to Obama: Stop dithering. Less talk. More war. Let's get it on.
