If Republicans think so little of our children maybe they’d be in favor of converting them into bio-fuel instead of providing them with health care.  Rather than caring about S-CHIP and making sure that this nation’s next generation gets health care.  Maybe we could look at our younger folks as a solution for our nations dependence on  foreign oil.

Consider for a moment that meat contains about 1,300 calories per pound.  Given that the average child might weigh between 50 to 100 pounds, that is up to 13,000 calories per child if we can figure out a way to convert children into bio-fuel!  Who knew children were so valuable in the Republican view of the world?

Now, please do not misunderstand here, in no way shape or form is this a proposal to violate the sanctity of an unborn fetus’s right to life.  No sir indeed, until they are born it is well understood that George Bush is 110% in favor of protecting children – it’s the already born for which he has no compassion.

So, why not kill two birds with one stone?  We could even bring our troops home from Iraq because we wouldn’t need to worry about he flow of middle eastern oil if we had a steady supply of bio-fuel converted from the children to whom the Republican’s don’t want to give health coverage.

How would the plan work?  Easy, actually – all children have parents according to Republican think.  So, therefore their parents should be responsible for paying all their medical bills.   If the parents are so irresponsible as to not be able to afford the medical costs of childhood cancer, an automobile accident, or some horrible life threatening disease then - again according to Republican Think - the parents are to blame for having had the children in the first place.

So, if Senate Republican staffers e-mails are to be believed our society has no obligation to help children with such idiotic parents.  Taking this logic one step further shouldn’t we as a nation even be able to benefit from the situation?

If we take these children and turn them into bio-fuel the S-CHIP issue is resolved, our dependence on  oil is over and Republicans can even claim this is the ultimate extension of being “Pro-Life”.
