True enough. For starters, there's the 20 million little girls they helped kill in the abortuaries...
"The courts ignored the obvious conflict of interest, and talking heads reflect modernity’s moral dissonance by insisting that Mr. Schiavo loved his wife and at the same time claiming that there’s nothing wrong with his “moving on”, the euphemism for shacking up with another woman while his wife lay disabled and denied care."
This brings to mind the way they busted Newt's xxxx's, and he wasn't even trying to kill his cancer-ridden wife!
Terry Shiavo was sacrified on the altar of convenience.....just as is the case in abortion.
The secretary where I work said yesterday that she "wouldn't want to be shown on TV looking like that". That was her only comment on the whole thing. I was just stunned. I still don't know what to say to that. This is someone who voted for Pres. Bush. This whole thing has just really crushed a lot of my faith in humanity. I try to see different points of view about most subjects, but this one just eludes me.
Proving once again, that humanity is not where you should put your faith. ; )
True, very true. It's kind of an old habit though. It dies hard I guess ;-).
"The secretary where I work said yesterday that she "wouldn't want to be shown on TV looking like that". That was her only comment on the whole thing. I was just stunned. I still don't know what to say to that. This is someone who voted for Pres. Bush."
I would have asked her what she meant by the comment.
Perhaps she was simply questioning the way the video clips were used. I think that I understand why the Schindlers made the videotapes -- but I certainly think that the way they were used by the media was EXTREMELY tasteless. It became ghoulish after a while. It was all too obvious that they were being shown over and over -- especially by the cable networks -- in a frantic bid to beat each other in the ratings. Of course the whole Schiavo thing was being used that way, but in the case of those video clips it was at times positively obscene. Luckily it is unlikely Terri Schiavo ever was aware of it -- but I wondered at times why the Schindlers didn't protest.
No, unfortunately, I found out later that she thought Terri should just be allowed to die. I did try to explain that there was a lot more to the story than the MSM was painting, but I'm losing patience with people who get their news from the MSM. It's not that hard to be better informed nowadays.
Accurate and heartbreaking cultural analysis.
"'choice'=selfishness"
// she "wouldn't want to be shown on TV looking like that" //
OUCH! yet another good reason why Terri just had to die. < / sarc >
