"Every Life Is Precious" (But Some Lives Are More Precious Than Others)

Our deepest national conviction is that every life is precious, because every life is the gift of a Creator who intended us to live in liberty and equality. -- George W. Bush, September 11, 2002

In cases like this one, where there are serious questions and substantial doubts, our society, our laws, and our courts should have a presumption in favor of life. -- George W. Bush, March 21, 2005

Mokhiber: Scott, last night, in an amicus brief filed before the U.S. Supreme Court, the Justice Department came down in favor of displaying the Ten Commandments at courthouses and statehouses around the country. My question is: does the President believe in Commandment Number Six -- thou shalt not kill -- as it applies to the U.S. invasion of Iraq?

Scott McLellan: Go ahead, next question.

Inference: the life of one caucasian woman -- in a vegetative state and kept alive by life-support for 15 years -- is more important than the lives of 100,000 (and counting) Iraqi niggers.

Conclusion: "Every life is precious" (but some lives are more precious than others).
