I didn't think Mr Silverback added them; I just found them to be strange. If people are "sick" of Terri articles, why go through the bother of viewing them in the first place?
another great article from Breakpoint!!!!
You'll find more people who oppose abortion than euthanasia. I had the same problem with my grandparents. They transposed their wishes on to Terri. They had a living will that would enable us to pull the plug. Needless to say, I'm less than happy but there isn't much I can do.
Anyway, coz they wanted to die, they assume Terri would like it too. This seems to be the root of the problem, many Americans are transposing their desires on to her. IF (emphhasis added) there is a popular support for pulling Terri's tube, this would explain it. Babies? Unconscionale! 'Veggies'? Meh. I don't want to live like this. Just pull the plug. She's better off anyway.
Of course the fact that they were constantly listening to the Deathstream Media going on and on with their left wing demoncr@ptic agenda might also influence their judgment on the matter.
Some people would just be lost if they didn't have something to whine about.
Feminism = liberalism, so they were on the same page with the death culture.
For people who don't use the Internet, particularly FreeRepublic, it's easy to still be misled by the MSM. I have an intelligent friend who won't have a thing to do with the Internet. Ergo, she's frightfully uninformed about Terri Schiavo. When we spoke about Terri I was appalled about her lack of knowledge, particularly concerning the so-called "husband". But I believe for as many uninformed folks these days, there are just as many who are informed.
It takes a very sick mind to spin something of this nature in such a way.
I suspect that there are many decent people who said the same thing : "I wouldn't want to live like that". Maybe they would or wouldn't, but they can't grasp the fact that it is someone elses life they are talking about. Forget the particulars of the case, people have no right to say someone should die because they do not want to live like that. I share your bewilderment. These people have no idea where this killing of Terri Schiavo will lead. Until some day the spouse that loves them no more has them terminated because at one point in their life they said "I don't want to live like that".
That is the mainstay of the whole "movement". Very succinctly put ER.

Theresa Schindler Schiavo overload. I want justice to come for those that "let her die in a gentle and dignified manner" as much as anyone. She's gone to a better place now. Let's get busy changing the system that is taking over that sanctioned it. We all know the details and speeches and posturing by both sides in this particular case. Investigate and prosecute if warranted. Do we need to rehash it every third post?.....JMHO

What? I thought the Greatest Generation had been downgraded because they took that ponzi scheme money called Social Security? Guess I had the wrong generation. Which generation is it that wants to eliminate SS anyway, it can't be these ME people could it?
Excellent observation.
I was talking about the generation that put an end to Hitler and the Nazis. It was the "Self" philosophy inherent in Socialism that led to FDR's programs.
What exactly are you talking about?
You got that right.
"a step further toward assuring that every person receives the right-to-die at a time designated by and as defined below:"
Whatever the winner of this political standoff determines will get them elected! Good Luck to us all.
