And there we go once again, the talking points as the left. They label everyone here as 'extremists'. I'm sorry you don't see what a mimicking parrot you are. "They're extremists, extremists conservatives, wanting to nominate extremist judges, bwack, bwack, I want a cracker?"

What strikes me about this whole thread is how much some people on it are similar to liberals. Many liberals were for starving Terri in no small part because of the people who supported her (religious folks, right-to-lifers, etc.) It appears that some freepers have fallen into the same trap, with a knee-jerk response to the whole issue. And this "coalition of the sane" stuff is condescending nonsense.

Well, this thread is not for you, then. There are bunches of threads where you can make fun of those on here all you want.

You stay here, you'll be ignored.

I'll read what you write :-)

Yes, I've made that point many, many times here. Almost dead, identical talking points.

Yes, it's displays how mentally unbalanced some of them are. If these same groups (religious folks, right-to-lifers,) started a big protest against child molestation, the pathological enmity knee-jerkers would start defending Wayne Gacie.

But you have to admit, after reading that, and then reading the stuff here, it becomes all the more funnier!

The reason I support the removal of Terri's feeding tube is to honor her wish not to be kept alive as a useless burden, the way her grandmother was. Most people understand the facts, and that's what we've seen in this thread. Now and then someone will come by talking about the cost of keeping her alive or the fact that the quality of her life sucks right now, but no logical person supports those reasons for ending a life, and that's not why the judge ordered the tube to be removed.

The only reason I see for people to want to leave the feeding tube in, especially since Terri herself said she would never want to live that way, is that they don't understand the facts of the matter so they need someone to tell them what to think. If someone comes by and shouts loudly that they want to "save" Terri because an activist judge is trying to kill her, that bandwagon is painted more gaudily than the black and white plain-facts bandwagon the majority of us are pushing down the street. We don't have multiple conspiracy theories made up to suit the moment, so it's easier to form up with the shouting mob that's following the Pied Piper.

And THAT'S a knee-jerk response.
