SCHIEFFER'S FTN RANT ON STEM CELLS WAS PURE LEFTIST PROPAGANDA

JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER WORD IN THIS COMMENTARY BY SCHIEFFER IS A LIE:



TEXT/TRANSCRIPT:

SCHIEFFER: Last week two people I know were diagnosed with colon cancer, one of the deadliest of all cancers.

Because my wife and I are cancer survivors, and because my mother died of cancer because she was afraid to go to the doctor, I've come to know a little about the disease.

My friends have a serious illness, but there is a path to recovery that was not there not so long ago. And as I talked to them last week, I was again struck by the remarkable progress science is making to give them that path.

Being told we have cancer no longer means we've been given the death penalty.

Like all scientific breakthroughs, advances in cancer research began and depend on basic research - science's ability to go not where doctrine or tradition dictates, but where research takes it.

Ironically, my friends were diagnosed about the time a federal judge issued the injunction placing limits on stem cell research [YES: STEM CELL RESEARCH; NOT MERELY EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH!], an area that holds the greatest possibilities for medical breakthroughs since penicillin.

• THIS IS A LIE/BULLSHIT/PROPAGANDA.

• THE JUDGE ONLY STOPPED EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH FUNDED BY THE GOVERNMENT.

• NOT ALL STEM CELL RESEARCH, AND NOT PRIVATE EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH.

I have the greatest respect for those who disagree, but to me putting restraints on stem cell research is not far from those who refused to look through Galileo's telescope because they believed their doctrines and tradition had already told them what they would see.

• THIS WAS NOT A DOCTRINAL INJUNCTION.

• THE JUDGE WAS FOLLOWING THE LAW - WHICH SI WHAT JUDGES ARE SUPPOSED TO DO.

• THE LAW WAS PASSED DURING THE CLINTON YEARS AND SIGNED INTO LAW BY CLINTON:

The judge concluded that federal funding for embryonic stem cell research violates a 1996 law that prohibits use of federal money for research in which an embryo is destroyed.

BACK TO SCHIEFFER...

Their beliefs, too, were deeply held - but where would the store of knowledge be had their view prevailed?

As we again try to untangle the arguments over stem cells, let us also consider this: No civilization, no society, has survived if its people came to believe they knew enough and needed to know nothing more.

• ANOTHER RED HERRING.

• SCHIEFFER'S LEFTIST ARGUMENT IS INTELLECTUALLY DISHONEST AND MORALLY BANKRUPT.

• THE MOST PROMISING RESULTS COMES FROM ADULT STEM CELLS NOT EMBRYONIC.

• AND THE US TAXPAYER DOESN'T HAVE TO UNDERWRITE ANY OF THE RESEARCH; THERE IS AMPLE PRIVATE INVESTMENT IN BOTH AREAS.

THIS IS TYPICAL OF HOW THE LEFT AND LEFTISTS IN THE MSM ARGUE THIS SUBJECT: CONFLATING EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS WITH STEM CELLS AND BLAMING THE RIGHT-WING FOR SOMETHING DONE BY CLINTON IN 1996!

WHY DO THEY ARGUE LIKE THIS!?

SIMPLE: THE TRUTH ISN'T ON THEIR SIDE SO THEY HAVE TO LIE!
