A neocon freeper replies to...
posts, on another board, by me and another progressive, regarding Schiavo:

--------------------------------

Your sensitivity comes shining through.
Sensitivity towards digging in your political heels.
Being as how this issue has proven that liberals can rattle off the politics of non-interference with the best of them, you two might try an even more ambitious quantum leap:
Actually realizing what you're saying:
You two are killers. You want to murder Schiavo. Joe Stalin dressed as Mother Teresa.
Murder for political advantage.


Here was my response:

Oh I see. Letting her pass on in the most humane way is now equated with murder?
Would this be the same type of murder that Randall Terry's group performs on Doctors?
Terry Schiavo will soon be resting in peace and no longer reacting off of her brain stem.

You need to get beyond your's.

1. For people who have
such a strong faith in God and a belief in some glorious afterlife, these folks sure are determined to keep Terri here in that shell of a body.

Death is a natural process. She needs to be allowed to go. This isn't about "killing". 15 years hooked up to a tube is a long time to be waiting to reap the rewards of the afterlife.

I'm not much of a believer in an afterlife but I find it really weird that those who do are so fanatical about keeping her soul here.

2. Agree
It's as if that is all thrown out the window.

These people truly fear death when they should be embracing it, based on thier beliefs.

3. In all honesty
I think most of us who support the removal of the tube are very sensitive. I find this media circus and raging hyperbole of the RWers troubling. It is they who have paraded her picture and every whack job idiot with an opinion all over the TV. Where is the sensitivity in all of that.

Yesterday I saw some Faux program where John Kasich had a "friend" of Judge Greer and was actually questioning the judge's Christian beliefs. The subtext was obviously that there is something wrong with Greer's Christian beliefs if he keeps ruling against putting the tube back in. Fortunately the friend defended the judge pretty well but the idea that this kind of crap is even making it on the air shows a real lack of sensitivity.
