I can't tell you how many times I've heard the left slam opponents of their policies and actions as "extremists." Every time they've ever done this a hue and cry went up here on FReep. Now, on this issue -- even though it has truly been bipartisan, with those of many stripes fighting for good against evil -- we are seeing those who claim to be Christians" and "conservatives" slam the "extremists" supporting Terri and trying to save someone being starved to death. The surreal-ness of the whole spectacle is right in sync with other atrocities throughout history.
I have FReeper friends in both camps.
I support Terri, her family, and all those who struggle against these pro-death judges. If the Legislative or Executive branches had said, let's go in and get her because.....hopefully making a good case, I would have supported them utterly. I have prayed, called, written, posted, etc. from here in TX, with time and energy and $ I don't really have, due to being a 24/7 caregiver, all the while knowing others are doing far more.)
But I don't fit in well here, either, it appears, because I can't echo the rhetoric or decisions of others on here, now that it has come down to this. My judgements are my judgements, my rhetoric is mine alone.
Though disagreeing with my beloved Terri's Angels in those ways, I hold them up as deserving of all praise and admiration. I stand in awe of them.
I'll close for now with this...one thing I still have in common with you all, besides devotion to Terri, is that we are all part of the "kook fringe", TwF.
