“The strong should protect the weak”
Terri Schiavo died today, and right-wingers who never met her are making a great show of mourning her passing. George W. Bush noted that “The essence of civilization is that the strong have a duty to protect the weak,” which is a bit ironic given his proposed Medicaid cuts and support for bankruptcy restrictions, to name just a couple of recent examples of his preference for the strong. The President, who has twice started wars of aggression, further called on Americans to “build a culture of life.”
