Deja vu

All I've seen of him on the Terri case have been surprisingly the same as I felt. This article is being very sarcastic. Same as Rush was today - went on and on about all the animals that are being saved, the prisoners who have been pardoned. I got his point.
But where's Gandalf? Where are Frodo and Sam?
Where are the heroes?

Please. Thanks.
Deja vu
I just don't understand why they are so avid about killing Terri. Rush mentioned the same and felt possibly Bush hatred.
Very scary flags about what is out there.
Thanks. Yes I heard Rush as well, this is why this sounded like a stick at Rush. But I now understand that is was not intended to be at Rush.
Yes, he is being sarcastic -- it's a very good read. Three cheers for Kristol and let's all join "Terri's Rebellion."
Gotcha. It's capricious - whatever interests me in the field of moral absolutes, and sometimes I'm very busy so I don't get to it for a while. Also, I lost the list of names twice since I'm a techno dunce.
It's a broad field, and I don't cover the homosexual agenda (I do a separate pinglist with another freeper for that) or abortion issues, as there are one or two other pinglists dedicated to that issue.
I think Rush is dumbfounded too. He seemed furious today. After a while he just started on all the other cases where the liberals have taken such extreme effort, all the trees, the endangered animals, the beached whales. And he did it without comment reporting on them as very very important. No mention that they were allowing a woman to be murdered and we are watching. But, it was very apparent he was recounting all the times they freed a criminal, etc.
Thanks for the link. Interesting to read about the early years of her incapacity. Also some new slants on life/death issues.
"Weekly Standard" really does an excellent job.
I am starting to consider, whether this republic might be better served, were it to be reduced to two branches of government. Perhaps the entire judicial branch should be dismantled and reduced to its constitutional minimums.
A man can be wrong on some things and right on others.
"A man can be wrong on some things and right on others."
I do not disagree.
What scared me was the total unawareness of the sanctity of life. I assumed most Americans felt as I do that we do not kill. After all, we send murderers to prison after months of legal haggling. We all understand allowing to naturally die or withholding extreme treatment, but to willfully go in there and pull the feeding tube and deny fluids of a woman not dying is crossing a line for me.
But, found out a huge number of Americans have thrown out or do not even comprehend the sanctity of life. They just judge others and, if they rationalize that they would not want to live that way, then that person is free to end that life. This is the result of accepting abortion IMO.
When us SOL people see this ending of life intentionally we react strongly and seek all means to prevent it as this is a major issue to us as it will color every decision in the future. The federal government got involved and now those conservatives who do not necessarily react as strongly to government ending a life but resent like ???? bringing the federal government into it, fight for their view.
We did not realize that there were some things conservatives and some liberals feel the same about - the sanctity of life.
Where to go from here?
We are beset on all sides because many do not want the restraints on their wishes required when you respect that a fetus is a life, that embryonic cells represent a life, that those in a pitiful state represent a life.
Somehow when we see the death culture moving up its agenda, when we see abortion moving its guideposts, when we see the liberal agenda attempting to destroy America as we know it we have to do something.
What is that "something". The only option we have is to get our federal government to stop it - how else do you prevent the massive destruction of the moral fiber of this country?
Or, do these other conservatives not care about what these agendas do to us as long as the federal government stays extremely small or moves in that direction.
I just don't understand how we can make government go backwards to an earlier time. Usually everything progresses forward and would become smaller only if other ways of operating proved more effective to get objectives done.
Agree with most of your post, but for this sentence. I've followed these threads for days; most of the naysayers are moderates; pro choice; or libertarian atheists. True conservatives (even those for smaller government) are definitely on your side.
Don't you think it's actually kind of refreshing to see who your REAL allies are? Frankly, I've only been surprised by the opinions of two posters (on the positive side); the rest simply confirmed my suspicions.
Yes it is and very surprising. Sure a shock though that some just do not care that a person is being put to death - they treat it in such a cavalier method.
Lebanon?
