Here is Barry Goldwater's rebuke, to all of you hand wringers who are 'hysterical' because people are getting 'excited' or 'emotional' because an innocent women is getting cruelly put to death.

I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!

You have been weighed in the balance and been found wanting... NO VIRTUE!

Let me fix this bucko in this case it is:

I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice! And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue!

You can't cut corners in Justice. Conservatives, real conservatives understand the means and ends are important, and that bad and shoddy means never justify the ends, because the means and the ends are a tautology.

Defending Terri is pursuing justice, you can't pursue justice by mob rule. A militia was offering to come and rescue her, how many people would have been killed?

You are confusing those who want to kill her and who want to save Terri without sacrificing the entire prolife movement. People like you are willing dupes of the DNC. This circus outside the hospice is a tool of those who wish to depose Bush and put Clinton in office, and you are doing their work for them.
