well I studied WWII in ROTC quite a bit.....and you are making a huge leap to what the Nazi's wanted to do which was exterminate an entire race.....and why not a valid comparison......well, for one, there was a trial here which you didn't get in Germany and there were multiple appeals here which of course was not possible in Germany....if you don't believe me, go look at some of the high powered conservative blogs like Powerline, or LGF or Instanpundit and they will also say, that as bad as this is, it is in no way analagous to the Nazi's.......let me ask you....how do you feel when activist's hold up "Bush is Hitler" signs?..do you feel they are justified?

You have to go back to the history books.Well before the "final solution" was adopted,german courts were routinely ordering the sterilization and and extermination of the disabled the lame the mentally impaired.
I don't think you represent the opinions of a lot of the bloggers when you say that there is no comparisons to the early years in the nazi regime.
The bloggers you mention are saying that this case does not warrant civil disobedience or disregarding the rule of law.
Although I have yet to hear hewitt explain away Andrew Jackson's respose in the Georgia case.
MY opinion is that in that case Jackson just chose to do nothing and not enforce the court order. (omission) In this case JB would actually HAVE TO DO SOMETHING like seize her, that would be comission of an act against a court order.

In addition to wanting to exterminate an entire race, they also wanted to exterminate those who were mentally retarded, developmentally disabled, and so on.

From a quick search on google: If one looks at history, it becomes clear just where the practice can lead. In Nazi Germany euthanasia became an obsession, eventually resulting in the belief in eugenics or the achievement of a genetically "superior" race. Beginning with the mentally and physically disabled, 200,000 of whom were systematically murdered between 1939 and 1945, euthanasia later became part of the Nazis’ final solution. Jews, Gypsies, Gays, Communists, German dissenters, and others were experimented on and finally targeted for extermination under the rationale that they were "inferior."

Okay, so there was a trial here. Resulting in the state sanctioned starving to death of a physically and mentally disabled woman.

I know "slippery slope" is so cliche, but it seems fitting.

....how do you feel when activist's hold up "Bush is Hitler" signs?..do you feel they are justified?

Huh?

I doubt there will ever be another trial in America again, where a family attempts to save an incapacitated loved one from being starved and dehydrated to death, after what has happened in this case.

We have all "learned" from the Schiavo case that no matter how much publicity you get, no matter how much reasonable doubt there is, no matter how many appeals you make, and no matter how many supporters you have, that no one, not the governor, congress, the president, or the pope can do a thing to help you.

Most people won't even bother trying to put up a fight after this.

True, but NAZI estermination began with a request for
'humanitarian' euthanasia for a single hopelessly debilitaed infant. One step follows another. If you don't want to go there, don't take the first step. Don't assume that it will be different here. Just philosophical brain excressence.
