One thing here is crucial. The democrats may not like it, but they experience the power and import of Terri's Legacy.

Knowing what we know, it is a telling condemnation of the democrat party of late, in iron clad irony supporting the far left. Once again, they rattle on that old propaganda piece that good Americans want innocents like Terri killed and hate Americans who would wish to save her. The poor stepmother here wrongly branded Jeb. Had she known, he was to become her hero by bravely playing Pontius Pilate and allowing the killing to proceed with his blessings. These types of democrats suffer from incredible cognative dissonence, the ability to bundle a bunch of conflicting concepts into the same bag.

This article is a compendium of misquotes and bs by that Kingsley Guy. Anyone wishing to tally the inanane statements should read the whole mess.

I wasn't expecting the angry response of my stepmother toward a Republican politician. "Maybe so," she said in almost a shout, "but he should be ashamed of himself for what he's doing to that poor woman with the feeding tube."

That "poor woman" was Terri Schiavo, who had been institutionalized in Pinellas County since 1990 after she suffered a stroke and entered a persistent vegetative state.

The religious right, with Gov. Bush as its strongest ally, wanted the state to keep Schiavo alive. After interminable legal and political battles, however, a judge ordered the feeding tube removed, allowing Schiavo to finally die in March 2005.

Democrats, learn from Schiavo case

Well here we have an opinion from the President of the ACLU and just guess which side they took on Terri. In my estimation one cannot get much harder core with a diamond center than these commies. Any who still side with her killer and even considers themselves FReepers should swallow what the top brain of the American Commie Loonies Union says. I do note she hasn't selected the favorite killing method of dehydration for herself. Somebody please hand this death lover a glass of Canada dry.

DS: So how would you like to die?

NS: Well, the first thing that occurred to me was: I want to have the choice. That was the very first thing that occurred to me, because I know how through personal experiences, through vicarious experiences, through reading the complaints in our law suits where we have challenged the absolute restrictions on compassion and dying, people are essentially tortured. And I don’t want that to happen. And I don’t want my love wants tortured by watching that happen.

DS: You wouldn’t want a Terri Schiavo situation?

NS: That was an ACLU case; we represented her husband there. It has to be consenting, but there are measures we can take, and precautions we can take, so there it should be regulated. I say the same thing about drugs. You wouldn’t want to have regulation the way we do for food and alcohol, but absolute prohibition is completely inhumane and counter to the most fundamental autonomy of who you are.

DS: So you have the choice, what is your choice?

NS: My choice would be to take a sleeping pill, I guess, or maybe morphine would have the same effect, to peacefully pass from this Earth when I have made a decision that I can no longer live in this state of comfort and dignity that makes life meaningful to me.......................................
