Stolen Bunny bangs his head because of you.

I know you can post without flaming, this is an excellent comment. And remember, we are supposed to be a civilized forum, a refection upon conservative values.
The use of "nazi" is not valid with regard to this issue in any way, shape, or form. It's a cop-out, plain and simple, in order to completely ignore teh rational arguments of others... Period.
Why is it that anyone who does not think that armed goons running to Florida or calling up the National Guard is a good idea is labelled at a member of the kill-Terri crowd?
Okay, so now I'm a "sophist", yet another name.
Any interest at all in the merits of the issue? Or is calling me names enough to satisfy you that there is no parallel between this euthanasia and the euthanasia program in Germany under the Nazis?
I just finished listening to Dennis's first segment myself. I'm pretty much in the same camp as he is. I opposed the removal of the feeding tube but I also oppose oversimplification of the issue.
One of his points that interested me: If the Schindlers had gone along with Michael about removing the feeding tube, would it still be murder?

Pssst... us 'injuns' don't torture people anymore... the dang feds made us stop... ;0
LOL. That works too.
It is rather uncharitable to characterize those who desire rational discussion of the facts as being "The Death-to-Terri crowd". This is exactly the sort of useless name-calling which has dragged down the discussion on the main forum.
A bump-worthy comment.
Are you going to Washington DC on the 7th?
I didn't call you a a name. Nice try, though. Now, why don't you go back out on teh Schiavo threads, and join with the rest of your pack and call people Nazi's out there?
Have a nice day, Thoughtomater.
You know what my concern is about all this? That the pro life movement, which is a just movement, was making wonderful strides among moderates and even some democrats. I could see positions softening with the few democrats I know.
They are getting older, their daughters are having children and they are seeing the ultrasounds, etc. and the new technology that permitted these previous pro choice women to see the unborn in a way they never did before.
We have all read articles about how the those little babies put their hands over their ears when a loud noise is made. I've forgotten what week that happens in but I think the studies have said as early as 12 weeks.
When pro life movements call me for money, they are the nicest people and I've told them that I've thought they should play up the technology and studies that I just mentioned; that it's having an impact and they've agreed.
But the face of Randall Terry and the others outside a Hospice, where people are dying, and yelling into that bullhorn and spouting his hate filled rhetoric and stirring up the crowd...that is not the face of compassionate conservatism, pro life or Christianity that we want out there.
Regardless of how people feel about the Terri situation, there are other people to consider here. Like those people who are spending their last days on earth listening to bullhorns and people screaming the worst sort of things at our policemen. They are calling our policemen Nazis!
And the unborn will be affected too because I think this has set the movement back 20 years. And so how many babies won't have a chance at life because Randall Terri exploited the Schindlers and this entire situation for his own quest for power.
I have been so grieved that the other considerations have been taken into account and I'd personally like to tear his eyelashes out one by one.
We regret to advise that we are recalling asterisk Model No. 40673, "The Hyperbole."
Our records indicate that you have purchased that model and, in fact, have used it recently. There may be a design deficiency with The Hyperbole, and so we request that you mail all Hyperboles in your possession and mail them to us. You will be reimbursed for postage.
Upon receipt of your unused Hyperboles, we will forward a like number of new Model No. 41390, "Ah Sanity."
Amen. There is no discussion on the TS threads.
Over here!
There is a legitimate debate to be had over what is the proper recourse to address the injustice in this case.
There is also another debate entirely, and that is whether or not we are watching a murder transpire, by indirect authority of we the people.
And there is a third debate, as to whether putting Terri Schiavo to death is the proper course. It is in this third debate that characterizing those who do think she should be put to death as the "kill Terri" crowd is an accurate shorthand for their position.
You make Stolen Bunny bang his head.
