Hi highball. Welcome to freerepublic, in case anyone hasn't welcomed you yet.

If you choose to join those who detract from the conservative values expressed by people outraged by this travesty, you should learn a couple of things.

First, you must learn that many of us have a repository of knowledge, hard fact, and experience in working this issue. We are also decent people who have values about life issues, coming from diverse faiths, but know right and wrong when we witness it up close. If you choose to be opposite of these values, so be it, but you better do more homework or choose a forum more attuned to your beliefs. Otherwise you just do not come off as a credible adversary of the truth.

You quote Thomas Jefferson and I do believe this link to his quote will shape your perspective.

Thomas Jefferson quote

If you wish to keep bumping this thread and getting more readership, that is great, but the new readers will quickly see your assaults on our sensibilities are suboptimum.

I mean no "assaults on (y)our sensibilities." I'm also not bumping this thread, only responding to posts made to me (not even all of them).

I have never said that anyone else wasn't a decent person. I expected the same courtesy in return. Perhaps I was mistaken.

I don't appreciate being called a liberal because I was not in favor of the government inserting itself into an all-too-common medical decision made by a woman's legal guardian.

Thank you for your kind words and your sense.

Not an attack but do you know the situation surrounding the quote from Jefferson?

M. SCHIAVO: Yes, I do. But this is not about them, it's about Terri. And I've also said that in court. We didn't know what Terri wanted, but this is what we want...

This flub has always betrayed MS's allegedly dutiful starvation and dehydration mission AND his cruel and self-serving tombstone epitaph.

NEVER FORGET!
