For better than half a century, Democrats and Liberals have been outspoken in their defense of those who were unable to defend themselves. For years, they stood on their soap boxes crying out to the bleeding masses about how the rights of society’s most down-trodden are being subverted to benefit the rich fat-cats of corporate enterprise and their backers in Republican party. For years, they insisted that it was the responsibility of the federal government to intervene and legislate for the benefit of those poor souls who - by no fault of their own – have found themselves subject to the selfish greed of the powerful.

Well, well, well… Along comes an opportunity for the Liberals to put their money where their mouth is and as usual they fail to make the grade. Here we have a severely brain damaged woman who is being starved to death by her husband and when the federal government attempts to act in her defense, the liberals are front and center, determined to put a stop to it! Congressman Earl Blumenauer (D-OR 3rdDist.), heading up this effort, vowed to muster up enough opposition to a bill before an emergency session of congress today aimed at giving Terri Schiavo the fighting chance she deserves by allowing her case judicial review before the federal courts.

…Oregon's Democratic Congressman Earl Blumenauer says the measure is immoral because Schiavo made it clear to her husband that she would not want to live in a vegetative state.

No she didn’t!!! Terri’s spoken desires against being kept alive artificially are only hearsay! There are no known written instruments in support of what her husband now claims! Michael Schiavo waited for years after his wife’s collapse and it wasn’t until after he won a huge malpractice settlement on her behalf did he finally decide to turn around and say ‘Oh, by the way I just remembered Terri telling me a long time ago that she never wanted to live this way in the first place.’ Close to a decade later he claims that all that money is gone. Yeah, gone to pay for lawyers hired to make sure she ended up dead instead of using the money to get her the help she was legally entitled to.

Does Representative Blumenauer’s idioms or those from any other liberal surprise you anymore? The ideology of compassion, civil rights and equal treatment for all has now become the ideology of the right as witnessed by the modern day definition of the neo-con. And since when have you ever seen the political left stand up so feverishly for states rights? Where were they in 1970 when the federal courts got involved in what was clearly a state’s rights issue when it came to abortion laws? Where were they back a couple of years ago when the federal courts got involved in a state’s rights case by ordering a state court judge to risk contempt of court if he didn’t remove a monument of the Ten Commandments from the courthouse property? That act in and of itself was both a violation of the U.S. Constitution and a violation of the state Judge’s oath of office! These liberals are so obsessed with pushing for a godless culture of death in this country and they have such a continued contempt for the President and the Republican party that they are going to say and do anything they can to damn them in the public forum. No matter what stance the right takes on the issue, they cannot be pleased! It’s truly a pathetic situation with these people in that you can’t win for loosing!

The Protection of Incapacitated Persons Act of 2005 was designed to give people under the same circumstances as Terri Schiavo, rights to the same federal judicial review as state convicted death row inmates which the Democrats have long stood in favor of. After Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (R-IL 14thDist.) dropped the gavel shortly after 1:00pm EST Sunday opening the special session of the House then immediately recessing to continue work on negotiations, the Democrats came out within the hour denouncing the emergency session of Congress as horrific, shameful and abusive. Once again, the political left has thumbed its nose at legislation aimed at defending those who cannot defend themselves in favor of partisan politics. As I flipped through several news channels, all I saw was a broken record backwash of the democrat’s drumbeat on how bad this impending federal legislation was for the country. What I find even more annoying is that to solidify their left wing rhetoric, they make it look like ‘mainstream America’ is simply shocked by this unprecedented show of intimidation by Congressional Republicans. Watching this pathetic bunch of pro-death losers rant on and on about protecting state’s rights made me so sick that I felt like throwing a sledge hammer through the video screen! Suffice it to say that it’s no wonder the Democrats were sent packing with the assistance of the MSM after this last election.
