Starvation death
This article from The Washington Post requires a free registration to view. It's graphic, it's disturbing, and if you're a living, feeling human being, you will be left wondering that such dialogues can even occur in our supposedly civilized country.
Bear in mind--Judge Greer, in his desperation to one-up President Bush and Governor Bush, has once more signed a death warrant demanding the specific kind of death detailed at the above link. Judge Greer, in his desperation to show the world that he's a dutiful little death-angel, has denied Governor Bush the right to take this dying woman under state protection, where she would no longer be a financial burden, or an emotional one, on Michael Schiavo.
I cannot reiterate enough that our country is in serious trouble. Those people on the left who are trying so hard to turn this into a political issue--how do they sleep at night?
We are asking that one woman be spared, but the left is so focused on slapping our faces that they cannot see their own hypocrisy. I wonder--if "Terri" were the name of a Golden Retriever who was found nearly dead of starvation in Michael Schiavo's back yard, would Michael be arrested? Or would he be the darling of the left that he has become in recent weeks? And I say again--what sort of scene would we be watching if the Terri in question were Teresa Heinz Kerry? I wonder if Hillary Clinton would show up for the prayer vigil for Kerry's wife?
I also say again--vote the judges out. Every single one of them. Period. Because not one of them would stand up for your rights, not one of them would exert themselves to save your life. And after you vote the judges out, let's work on getting some laws passed that actually help people. Florida gave itself a black eye today by not passing a bill to protect those being denied nourishment. Get rid of the Florida legislators. Every one of them. After all...they would do the same for you...
