All true.

[farmer18th]

no problem with a squad of policemen preventing her parents (or anyone else) from giving their daughter food or water.

Exactly. The "big government" types are the ones who defend a judiciary who won't let a mother feed her own daughter.

Hello, Jeb? Where are you? Get off your preppy butt and be a man, Jeb!

[curiosity]

Congress messed up royally putting the case into the hands of the federal courts. Instead, Congress, exercising its Constitutionally granted authority to enforce the 14th Amendment, should have passed a law ordering the feeding tube inserted.

It's about time Congress took back some of its powers that have been usurped by the jucidiary. Unfortunately, it lacks the courage. How sad.

If I were Terri's father it would be time to risk arrest and rescue my daughter.

If anyone needs to convince family or friends that Terri is being murdered, this is the article to send them.

It's too bad Terri Schiavo was not a mass murderer earlier in her life. If that were the case, every liberal organization in the country would be screaming that the state is killing her as an unofficial execution. Terri's problem is that she is innocent, defenseless, and can't speak for herself. Liberals have no interest whatsoever in protecting such people.

I love Dr. Sowell bump

[Tax-chick]

Thomas Sowell is not a religious conservative, and he is not a Republican partisan. He is America's greatest living intellectual. Oh, if only we could transplant Dr. Sowell's clarity of thought into (for example) Jeb Bush ...

"People who say that the government has no business interfering in a private decision like removing Terri Schiavo's feeding tube somehow have no problem with a squad of policemen preventing her parents (or anyone else) from giving their daughter food or water."

Amen my brother.

[TheDon]

Terri Schiavo is being killed because she is inconvenient to her husband and because she is inconvenient to those who do not want the idea of the sanctity of life to be strengthened and become an impediment to abortion. Nor do they want the supremacy of judges to be challenged, when judges are the liberals' last refuge.

Bingo on both counts.
PRO-ABORTION = KILL TERRI
Lots of FREEPERS falling for the last count too.

Sowell bump!!!

I have yet to see one conservative pundit I admire side with Greer and the sicko husband on this issue.

" Just following orders. Where have we hears that "excuse" before?

Thomas Sowell ping

[P-Marlowe]

We are being told that Terri Schiavo is being "allowed" to "die a natural death." Such an argument might make some sense if this were a terminally ill person. But Terri Schiavo is not dying from anything other than a lack of food and water, from which any of the rest of us would die.
She is not dying a natural death. She is being killed.

Ping!

[1Old Pro]

Bless you Thomas Sowell. Too bad you're not Governor of Florida.

[facedown]

From the ever clear mind of Thomas Sowell.

[ChocChipCookie]

Spot on, as always.
