Bush keeps talking about his "culture of life", which is odd coming from a guy who killed a woman even the Pope forgave and started a war that has killed thousands of Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis.
As Texas comes near to executing its 400th inmate in the modern era, a look at how religion and "hang 'em high" Old West mentality has made Texas Murder Inc. A few more factoids here.
A Texas church scrapped plans at the last minute to have a funeral service for a former Navy member. Gee, turns out he was gay. Too bad, he's not one of God's children in their eyes.
Now THAT is supporting the troops fundamentalist style.
Meanwhile the White House is trying to block a move to give our veterans more educational support. Considering my brother is 24, still in college, and can't get his GI Bill bennies as it is, you know where I stand on this. And he only pulled one tour. Think of some of those other guys and gals.
Oh wait, one more insult to injury. Some of our foreign-born servicemen, who signed up partially to earn their citizenship, have to worry about more than car bombs and suicidal religious fanatics: their government is deporting their families even as they "fight them there so we don't have to here." Some support, huh?
