Journal SPAM: Kill an Iraqi on National Sanctity of Human Life Day 5

I guess that's why it's not "International Sanctity of Human Life Day." Wogs ain't sacred.

National Sanctity of Human Life Day, 2007
A Proclamation by the President of the United States of America

America was founded on the principle that we are all endowed by our Creator with the right to life and that every individual has dignity and worth. National Sanctity of Human Life Day helps foster a culture of life and reinforces our commitment to building a compassionate society that respects the value of every human being.

Among the most basic duties of Government is to defend the unalienable right to life, and my Administration is committed to protecting our society's most vulnerable members. We are vigorously promoting parental notification laws, adoption, abstinence education, crisis pregnancy programs, and the vital work of faith-based groups. Through the "Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002," the "Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003," and the "Unborn Victims of Violence Act of 2004," we are helping to make our country a more hopeful place.

One of our society's challenges today is to harness the power of science to ease human suffering without sanctioning practices that violate the dignity of human life. With the right policies, we can continue to achieve scientific progress while living up to our ethical and moral responsibilities.

National Sanctity of Human Life Day serves as a reminder that we must value human life in all forms, not just those considered healthy, wanted, or convenient. Together, we can work toward a day when the dignity and humanity of every person is respected.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Sunday, January 21, 2007, as National Sanctity of Human Life Day. I call upon all Americans to recognize this day with appropriate ceremonies and to underscore our commitment to respecting and protecting the life and dignity of every human being.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of January, in the year of our Lord two thousand seven, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-first.

GEORGE W. BUSH

  • Aren't Iraqis killing each other off fast enough for our dear President?
    • OMG- I just figured it out. I've been blinded by my own church's teaching on the Seamless Garment of Life. How incredibly horrific. They actually believe in the concept of innocent human beings- and Belief in Sanctity of Life as a bright line between who should survive and who shouldn't.

      Iraqi tribal fighters obviously don't believe in Sanctity of Life, and so should be killed by the Neocon religion. Liberals in the United States proveably don't believe in Sanctity of Life- and will also be killed....It
      • The sacredness of a life is dependant on the one living that life believing in the sacredness of life?

        I thought that Sanctity and Sacredness were apportioned by God, in accordance with devine will. No other will can oppose the decree of God, and make a contrary determination. To suggest this is polytheism.

          So it seems by the actions of the Bush Administration. Only a theory at this point.

          It's not polytheism, it's worse than that. It's autotheism- Bush is declaring himself One With God. Sanctity and

    Not TOO self serving, is it? The "year of our Lord" is no longer sufficient. The US is lord, our king. Hail Ceasar!
