Where are all the "pro life" bleeding heart conservatives anguishing
over the devastation of Katrina?

Anybody find any significant words, actions, anything by the radical right, neocons etc?

Or is it just empty rhetoric with them?

How many examples can we find?

2. They're only "pro-life" when ...
protecting that life involves controlling a woman's body. Outside the womb, you're on your own! :eyes:

4. Yep, it's all about control with them; controlling what you think, what
you do to your body, what you do with your money, etc.

5. Yea, you have that right.
They like their women subjugated and their men full of false bravado.

And as Krugman said on one of the shows last weekend maybe, the administration is in the unfortunate situation of trying to tell people that they're doing well when the people are living it every day.

Let us see them spin this one to tell all those folks in N.O. and elsewhere how helpful they've been before, during, and afterwards.

6. They're all

hanging out at military recruitment centers, waiting for the paperwork to go through so they can serve the great Noble Cause in Iraq. Not.

7. the right cant feel sorry for an act of god
If they felt bad over God killing people, then their god would be making a mistake. Too much grey for them.

8. They only care about white fetuses, not black adults.
They might as well show up at their idiot abortion clinic bombings in white hoods and burning 10-foot-tall crosses.

10. Poor people die to inadequate health care - and sometimes to middle
class too. Why would they start to care now.

12. Are there any women to control, humiliate or kill?
No way to punnish a woman for desiring autonomy apart from being a baby-factory/incubator/sperm receptacle? No way to paint sex only as procreative as reproduction as a woman's highest calling? No opportunity for them to get credit for painting their misogynist shit as "honoring the will of the Lord"? 'Kay, then you won't find them around wasting their precious energy near the situation.

13. They are too busy
calling for the assasination of foriegn Presidents, convening Justice Sunday II to pray for the death of a supreme court justice, protesting at the funerals of fallen US soldiers in TN, and overall doing those type of 'pro-life' things.

17. An affirmation of your clear understanding of
truth, justice, and the American Way as it was it was meant to be.
