National Sanctity of Human Life Day

National Sanctity of Human Life Day, 2002
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation

This Nation was founded upon the belief that every human being is endowed by our Creator with certain "unalienable rights." Chief among them is the right to life itself. The Signers of the Declaration of Independence pledged their own lives, fortunes, and honor to guarantee inalienable rights for all of the new country's citizens. These visionaries recognized that an essential human dignity attached to all persons by virtue of their very existence and not just to the strong, the independent, or the healthy. That value should apply to every American, including the elderly and the unprotected, the weak and the infirm, and even to the unwanted.

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 the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim Sunday, January 20, 2002, as National Sanctity of Human Life Day. I call upon all Americans to reflect upon the sanctity of human life. Let us recognize the day with appropriate ceremonies in our homes and places of worship, rededicate ourselves to compassionate service on behalf of the weak and defenseless, and reaffirm our commitment to respect 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 two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-sixth.

GEORGE W. BUSH

Here is the rest of the proclamation.

I find it inconsistent for a President to recognize the "essential human dignity attached to all persons by virtue of their very existence" when he simultaneously advocates the death penalty and wishes to launch an offensive attack against another nation, which will necessarily result in the death of a number of these essential, dignified Americans.

Thoughts?

I find him consistently inconsistent. I expect it, really.

God I hate that man...

Next election I'm not only voting, but helping to campaign for whoever runs against him.

Hey, Texas already killed someone this year.

Yeah!

I still say sell the cesspool back to Mexico.

I don't think we ever actually paid for it.

 

[modest mouse]

I don't think we ever actually paid for it.

Then lets give it back.

Then lets give it back.

It would leave a big gaping hole in the nations underbelly and look real funny, but at least Mexico would have an NFL team.

A shitty one, but still a team nonetheless.

Two shitty teams. And the most polluted landmass in North America. Maybe if we throw in Florida we can get Baja California out of them. And a burrito.

You best change your tune, mister.

Sorry for the hijack, Mischka, but the quote pretty much lost me with the veiled god reference in the first line.

This statement by Bush, which is almost a year old, obviously carries no weight, and it shouldnt.

Wow, Houston and Mexico city together...that's like winning the Jeopardy daily double of smog.

Why pick on US?
We have GOOD NFL teams (at least 2 LOL) AND Disney AND great beaches
Give them New Mexico back
Nothing there but Hanatavirus
And that's where those people who showed up in NYC with the plague were from, the CDC said most cases of the plague originiate in New Mexico
