True! If Reagan or Bush had listened to all of the appeasers, compromisers, and cowards in their own parties they never would have accomplished anything. I just have no respect for any of these types. They've sabotaged and betrayed the conservative moment time after time.
From my vantage point, all I hear from people dissenting from the Republican Party on this issue are ill informed (or disingenuous) arguments about how the federal Government exceeeded its authority (untrue) or distaste at the involvement of Christians in the process standing for the sanctity of life. Of course those same Christians are welcomed when votes are needed...
To my understanding those advocating for Terri's Life are standing firmly on principle and solid Constitutional foundation. Certainly I'll make my break with those suggesting the Governor should go in there with guns blazing a hail of bullets, but we're not in the wrong morally or on Congressional involvement.
So why run scared? Because of polling? That is what it always seems to fall back on. Deprived of constitutional or moral argument, trot out the polling. I thank God for the sense he allowed me not to base what is right on the particular whims of the majority. I am beginning to understand how abortion became accepted as law. These same types were probably too afraid to challenge the overreach of the Courts. Ditto removal of religion from every walk of Life. Cowardice. Failure to assume a stand for fear of political consequence. What kind of life is that. Certainly not one I choose to live.
