Anything those wild-eyed ignorant slackjawed RELIGIOUS PEOPLE *shudder* are for, you and your self-appointed band of all-wise philosopher kings are against.
Actually, I'm not, and the article doesn't describe me.
I opposed removing Terri's feeding tube.
The problem is that Florida law allows for this result. In other words, if a judge applies the law as the legislature wrote it (which is, the last time I checked, the conservative view of the judiciary's role in government), results like this can happen.
The conservative solution, as I understand it, would be for the law to be repealed and/or amended in order to prevent such a result.
I can tell you what really killed Terri Schiavo: the Schindlers' witnesses repeatedly perjuring themselves. Judges have this funny habit of not believing you after being lied to repeatedly.
The solution attempted in Congress required a competent and honest lawyer to implement it. IMNHO, Gibbs was neither.
And with the farcical end to this debacle, the religious right is in a very ugly position: they didn't get the result they wanted, but there was one hell of an effort to accomplish that result. The GOP has an expectation that intense efforts on behalf of one specific element of their constituency will generate a similarly intense voter turnout in 2006 by those constituents.
However, a great many in the religious right are making noises about not supporting the GOP in 2006. God be with y'all if that comes to pass, because the GOP sure as hell won't.
You're exactly right. Genuine Christians, who are thoughtful, mannered, refrain from ad hominems and insults, however, are people I can agree with.
