All are absolutely fundamental ground level issues of what it is to be a human being. All were principles expressly cited as the core reasons to reject Britain's rule over us and become sovereign unto ourselves. Those were the underlying principles that guided every step in writing our Constitution and constitute its very purpose.
If our government wishes to depart from those principles, if the Constitution is to be read as supporting something other than those principles, if half our country is intent on abandoning and defiling those principles then let them state it clearly. Let them declare what is evident in their posture, that they oppose in every way the principles this nation was founded upon.
If they choose not to do that openly, like honorable men, then let us put it to them clearly that their actions are treason, shall be called treason and will be dealt with as treason.
If our elected representatives (those who claim loyalty to this principled nation) have not the stomach to call treason 'treason' and do what duty demands then we must releive them of office and replace them with those who will.
The issue then today is not 'this right' and 'that right' or 'balance of powers'. It isn't 'rightwing' or 'leftwing' philosophy or 'Republican view' or 'Democrat view'. It's 'American' or 'subversive'. 'Loyalist' or 'enemy'. It is quite simply 'patriot' or 'traitor'.
The right to life is as fundamental as it gets and traitors have undermined our law to deny it. The right to speak and worship freely is as human as it gets and traitors are working to destroy that freedom.
George Felos seeks recognition of 'the right to die'. He's a traitor.
The ACLU seeks to end religious freedom. They are traitors.
The whole Democrat leadership, save a few, seek to undermine our President in a war that they voted to fund. They are traitors!
No quarter nor refuge, public or private, should be given to traitors of our own country. No deference made to the words they speak. No excuses made on their behalf. No tolerance, save our own compassion for the sanctity and dignity of human life, for their presence among us.
If they seek to destroy the principle of respect for life do they not also seek to destroy life? If they seek to remove all visible sign of religious expression do they not also seek to destroy religion? If they seek to destroy the power of the man who directs our military to defend us, because he directs our military to defend us, do they not also seek to help our enemies destroy us?
That's treason.
Note that he sure doesn't seem to be in any rush to PERSONALLY take advantage of that "right." And what do you want to bet that when he does get near the end, if he can he will find some way to end it quick by taking poison, not slow by cruel drying and hunger.

That gets my nomination for quote of the day. In fact, the entire post #461 is exceptional and very well-stated!
Thank you, Tiger's Eye. That was great.
