Get Your Fundamentalism Out Of My Government!
Our fundamentalist-in-chief should do a little more listening to the words of Thomas Jefferson and a little less to those of James Dobson. A New York Times editorial concurs:
President George W. Bush seems determined to thwart any loosening of the restrictions he has imposed on federal financing of embryonic stem cell research, despite rising sentiment in Congress and the United States at large for greater federal support of this fast-emerging field. His actions are based on strong religious beliefs on the part of some conservative Christians, and presumably the president himself. Such convictions deserve respect, but it is wrong to impose them on a pluralistic nation.
