A Chicago-based scientist says he’s grateful to U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk for siding with legislation that backs stem cell research.

Kirk on Monday called for congressional action to codify an executive order on the research issued by President Barack Obama in 2009.

The Illinois Republican says, if senior Democratic senators choose not to move the stem cell legislation in this Congress, he will.

This, of course, would be ESC, not ASC legislation.

This identifies Senator Kirk as someone who indulges in "magical thinking".

This identifies Senator Nancyboy as one who hopes for a cure for AIDS before he might need treatment.

I’m wondering if the demoncrats are putting these issues out in the public at this time, to see which ones they can demagogue for empowering their agenda.

So that explains why Nancy Reagan supports stem cell research. Wow, you cracked the code. I’m impressed.

1. Stem cell research is not an adequately descriptive term for the purposes of controversy. The question is whether such research is conducted upon EMBRYONIC stem cells or adult stem cells.

2. Embryonic stem cell research has some special dangers for the recipient of the cells by way of uncontrolled growth of same and has inevitable tragedy in store for the murdered infant whose cells are being harvested for the benefit of (usually) affluent adult recipients selfish enough to have no qualms about killing innocents (as co-conspirators) to facilitate cannibalizing their bodies medically.

3. Adult stem cell research will likely produce surer success without all those messy murders.

4. Do you think it is an accident that the usual ghoulish gang of Planned Barrenhood type suspects (50+ million joyously slaughtered innocent babies via Roe vs. Wade and counting) think that embryonic stem cell research is just peachy keen?

5. Do you doubt that Kirk is accurately described as NancyBoy?

6. Nancy Reagan is no fount of wisdom any more than is little Ronnie Tutu of PMSNBC or Playboy exploitee Patty who is still a liberal like their mom though she at least helped out with Ronaldus Maximus as he slipped away.

7. You may recall that Nancy was just gushing in favor of "peace in our time" and lusted for Ronaldus Maximus to cave as necessary at Reykjavik to ensure his "place in history" and an improved social status for Nancy among liberal socialites who despised her husband and shunned her by association.

8. The code is simple: If you support embryonic stem cell research, then you have no moral qualms over homicide of the innocent.

9. I live in Illinois and have never and shall never vote for Nancyboy Kirk and never will vote for him or anything vaguely resembling him. Destroying him is going to be an in-house Illinois matter.

10. I care less whether you are impressed.
