Blah blah blah...If this were a TRUE theocracy, this sleazy excuse for a woman would be censured by now.

They pulled the feeding tube on the wrong woman.

Maureen, it is evident in your columns that your catholic school education did nothing but make you bitter, angry and hating God. That is no way to live your life.

We are such a theocracy we are unable to say a prayer in school or thank God at graduation....
To: Tailgunner Joe
She's right in totally the opposite way she intended.
The theocracy is the belief in the divine rule of the secular judiciary. It has overridden our Constitutional republic in every way it has been able.

If this were a theocracy, all of our liberals would be burned at the stake and our judges would be stripped of their fancy shmancy robes!

Sounds more like what I'd call "utopia"

A CBS News poll Wednesday found that 82 percent of the public was opposed to Congress and the president intervening in this case; 74 percent thought it was all about politics.As if I'm going to believe anything from CBS. And for the millionth time this is not a democracy. It's supposed to be a Republic. It makes a difference Dowd.

The president, who couldn't be dragged outdoors to talk about the more than a hundred thousand people who died in the horrific tsunami, was willing to be dragged out of bed to sign a bill about one woman Maybe SIGNing a bill is more important than TALK.

I'd feel sorry for her if she weren't so hateful.

Oh my God, we really are in a theocracy. Actually we are in a way. But the twist is that the secularist efforts are based on anti-religion. Opposing religion is their religion.

This woman is completely out of touch with reality. I just hope the leaders of the democrat party agree with her.

I find it ironic that the leftists see America becoming a theocracy while the right-wing complains that Christians are being singled out for persecution.
It's kinda like both sides thinking that the media is partial to the other.
Strange times, indeed.

The woman really should write for a soap opera. This article has all the hyperbole and sensationalism of an early afternoon soap.
Throwing words around like "theocracy", Dowd is simply pandering to her liberal audience, and reinforcing their alternate-reality based opinions.
This is the only theocracy I have ever seen where abortions are "chic", animals have more rights than people and the "religion" part of the first amendment is not valid on public property.

Mo sounds like she'd personally go down to Florida and stab Terri Schiavo in the chest with a kitchen knife.
I wonder if she was a ever a kind person.

I can't believe I once thought Dowd was a good writer. For years she has written nothing but juvenile crap like the article above.
