The Outrage Continues....

Think I'm some radical, white, right-wing nut job.. read what the Village Voice, a paragon of the hard left, has to say on this issue.. "Terri Schiavo: Judicial Murder"

I have to praise the Village Voice for standing up on the right side of an issue for once!

A few factoids..

• apt title, "Terri Schiavo: Judicial Murder"


• very apt subtitle, "Her crime was being disabled, voiceless, and at the disposal of our media"


• "...a 41-year-old woman, who has committed no crime, will die of dehydration and starvation in the longest public execution in American history."


• "...She is not brain-dead or comatose, and breathes naturally on her own. Although brain-damaged, she is not in a persistent vegetative state..."


• "[Judge] Greer has declared Terri Schiavo to be in a persistent vegetative state, but he has never gone to see her."


• The ACLU, had Mrs. Schiavo been a convict on death row, would have been fighting the state decisions, has rolled over and filed a brief for the husband


• Charges of abuse and neglect by Michael's hands have been filed on numerous occasions yet ignored by the media and the courts


• Michael says he loves and cares for his legitimate wife, yet he has refused her receiving ANY therapy or rehabilitation since 1993... 12 years! He has been letting her rot hoping she would die.. "..the bitch won't die.." I believe is how he put it.


• 33 affidavits have been filed by doctors, neurologist and other experts asking that Mrs. Schiavo be given a full neurological examination, all have been rebuffed

.. and it goes on and on... this is an absolutely dynamite article that busts many myths and inaccuracies perpetuated by the mainstream media.

Kudos to the Village Voice! (I thought I would never say that.. LOL)

This is murder folks, state sanctioned murder, and you could be next should you become a defenseless victim suffering from a stroke, heart attack, car accident, etc... It's an outrage that convicts on death row are afforded more legal due process. Wake up people, wake up before it's too late!

The "Right to Die" Agenda... aka Right to Kill

Why is it that it's illegal to starve a dog to death, but not a human being? This is disgusting. It's absolutely reprehensible what is being done to the this poor woman. Food and water are basic human needs, it's not extraordinary care, it's ORDINARY care. What would happen if I chose to not feed my children... they would die and I would go to jail (or hang) and I would deserve it! Something is terribly wrong if courts and lawyers can invent legal justification for starving a person to death.

The judiciary in this country is bloated and out of control and is almost totally a captive of a radical fringe. Judicial fiat is becoming the only legal bedrock of the land. This is a hideous trend that must be stopped before the courts shred the remaining tatters of the constitution and our rights as Americans not already shredded by the other two branches of government. Leviathan has become a multi-headed beast since the war between the states, thanks Abe. Instead of working together as a triad (Legal, Legislative, Executive), we now have a beast not unlike hydra. Each head is menacing, bloodthirsty and vicious of it's own accord, and killing just one won't destroy the beast, it must be countered on all fronts. But the beast has grown so strong as to make this an almost impossible task. Lord have mercy!

I find it particularly ironic how the left is willing to roll out the issue of States Rights when they are trying to sanction the killing of the longborn but as to the unborn... nope, they jam it down every states' throat from the federal level.

This is a sad day for Americans. We have gone further down the depraved slippery slope towards an absolute disregard for the sanctity of human life. We are paying the price for our selfish behavior and giving sway to the centralization of power. Wilson, FDR, Truman, Johnson, Nixon, etc.. we let them all take little bits of our rights away in return for paltry handouts taken from our brother's pockets. Now that we have signed away our lives and inheritance to Uncle Sam, we have become wards of the state to be done with as the ruling classes see fit.

From conception to death, life must be respected. Killing the defenseless can never be justified if order and respect is to be maintained. We live in a land that sanctions the taking of defenseless people, just because it inconveniences us. Look out.. you could be the next person to be declared by the state to be useless and to be discarded. It's time for the soft "pro-choice" crowd that have been cowed by verbal rhetoric against making a stand for life to stand up and be counted, you never know when open season will be declared on you or one of your loved ones because somebody has been inconvenienced by events or doesn't feel they are worth keeping around. Respect for the sanctity of human life is a seamless garment, either people are special, or we're just so much meat. Then again.. we treat animals better than Terri Schiavo.

Here's what Thomas Sowell, a much smarter man has to say on this.. "Killing Terri Schiavo"

Also by Thomas Sowell: "Cruel and unusual"

For a more political perspective from Bob Novak.. plus an interesting tidbit on Ralph Nader's perspective (hint: "After the show, the old reformer noted to me that it was illegal to starve a dog to death but it was being done to Terri Schiavo. This is an issue truly transcending normal political boundaries." ) "A feeding frenzy in D.C."
