whatever ones we don't fight.
Portuguese Cardinal Jose Saraiva Martins, head of the Vatican's office for sainthood, told reporters that "an attack against life is an attack against God, who is the author of life."
neo-nazi's?! i think this is a gross mis-statement. terms like nazi should not just be thrown around
Gimme a break!
Mention of or calling a nazi is an automatic disqualification and loss of debate.
I believe that Terri was murdered. However, those who murdered her are not neo-nazis.
What about the innocent children our bombs unintentionally shred?
They are entirely innocent.
I take it the peace at all costs movement has grown immensely in the last month based on the outpouring of devotion to life at any cost.
Somewhere in hell, Hitler is beaming.
In Nazi Germany, the Holocaust was legal.
RIP Terri
BUMP!
Apparently, the horror of movie critics suddenly imbued with the desire to blame this debacle on their carefully constructed straw men, coined with the nebulous and obfuscating term 'Neo-Nazis'. The sad truth of the matter is the Neo-Nazis, whomever they are, had nothing to do with this; for this author they simply are the easiest, most comforting target to strike.
I would infinitely prefer the talking heads embrace the truth and correctly identify the blame where it lies; at the hands & feet of Michael Shiavo. The Shindlers' legal advisers were simply out-gunned by barrister Felos and his merry band of cohorts.
Welcome to American justice, where the shrewdest lawyers and the fattest wallets usually prevail.
The parallels to today are eerie.
If I read the news and the posts on FR correctly, it was not a policy of the US, nor the actions of a political group that did in Terri Schiavo. It was not the failure of many sincere people to break in to her hospice chamber and forcibly re-insert her feeding tube or give her food and water that killed her.
No, the way I read it, it was the intent of Michael Schiavo, a scheming, brutal little man, to get her out of his way when she was no longer of any use to him. It was a state judicial system gone horribly wrong. No surprise that it was Florida. The actions and decisions of a few hijacked a woman's life and took it out of her parents' control. Period.
My God, I thought I would only see this much hand-wringing on DU. What's next? Are people going to start saying that they can't go into to work because they feel sick to their stomachs? Are they going to give up on the entire foundation for this country?
Pull yourselves together, people! Mourn the tragic loss of this innocent woman, yes. Curse the names of those responsible for her cruel death. But please, please do not turn your backs on an entire nation because of the evil machinations of a few individuals! This country did not kill Terri Schiavo. She died because a few people were able to manipulate the laws to their advantage. These people should not be allowed to prosper for their actions, and with any luck, the truth will come to light and justice will prevail.
Get mad, get busy, get involved. But leave the nazi charges and hatred of the administration to DU. It suits them much better. We're supposed to be the rational ones.

The bottom line is starving someone to death is both immoral and cruel. This is something the Constitution explicitly prohibits. Now if you are a conservative, you have to believe this fact.
History shows, time and time again, how people are fooled by their governments and millions of people die as a result.
History also shows that people do not learn from history, so history repeats itself, over and over.
History is repeating itself here, and people now, just as in the past, are trying to ignore it.
Funny how that works. It has to be arogance. Somehow we are better and smarter than all of those other people. We will somehow defy history and human nature. We won't have to do anything different than those other people. We will just somehow manage to avoid their fate.
Our contemporary "anti-Fascist" Left has in its imagination transformed the Nazis into moralistic Bible-thumping Puritans who didn't know where all this new morality was coming from.
How many of such people will officially wring their hands on the upcoming Yom HaSho'ah (Holocaust Memorial Day)?
Folks, I found out to my dismay (and horror..) that my own family members, because they do not watch anything but the local network news and get the same biased slant from the local newspapers, here in north Florida -- that my siblings knew nothing about the case and were commenting on "that poor husband only wanting to do what..." and were so absolutely un-clued in that, I had to set them straight of course.
All the time thinking; "The MSM wins again..." (or they think, they did-do. Ha. We fooled them last time, didn't we?)
