As libs do their darndest to simulate thinking, they can't help bringing up Terri even if they don't know yet how it is spelled. Knee jerkers call people they hate knee jerkers.

The cause of Mr. Benjamin’s woe stemmed from his conclusion that although U.S. tactical efforts against radical Islamist groups have to a large degree succeeded, the overall strategic outlook of the United States is becoming rapidly worse. He, therefore, recommended that the United States withdraw from Iraq.

Thank the pro-life, pro-gun heavens above — in which Terry Schiavo and Jerry Falwell are undoubtedly prancing on celestial beaches and chomping on Triscuits — that there were enough degenerates in the audience to chastise him, the deluded and unpatriotic bastard.

Lecturer’s views no match for knee-jerk antagonists

The story in Italy repeated...

................................

Italian courts are grappling with their own Terri Schiavo, a 34- year-old woman, Eluana Englaro, who has been in a coma for 15 years after an automotive accident. Her elderly father, Beppino, wants to turn off her feeding tube because she is living in an "inhuman and degrading condition".

The case has been working its way through the courts. A year ago, a court in Milan refused to authorise removal of nutrition and hydration. But earlier this month, Italy's highest appeals court ordered a retrial. The Cassation Court declared that a person's right to decide what medical treatment they receive should be respected even if doing so would cause their death.

Doctors say Eluana will never regain consciousness. Otherwise, however, she is healthy and has never required life-support systems. Her father asserts that she said plainly during her conscious life that she would not wish to live in a vegetative state. He has often compared her situation with Terri Schiavo's. ~ ANSA, Oct 16; International Herald Tribune, May 15
