I finally realize why liberals want Terri Schiavo dead

Reading these posts and seeing liberals pathetically attempt to justify
Schiavo being starved to death, I came across a few common arguments:

"who would want to live that way"

"it's compassionate to kill her because she's supposedly a vegetable"

"let her die, with whatever dignity she has left"

"I certainly want to live that way so terri wouldn't either"

Liberals have always had a problem respecting the boundaries of others.
In particular, they think they have the right to dictate every single
detail of everyone's lives for them. That's where the whole "it takes a
village to raise a child" thing comes from. Liberals think they know
what's best for you, better than you do. And they want to make all our
important decisions for us.

That's why liberals want Terri Schiavo to die. They see Terri in her
condition, decide that they wouldn't want to live that way themselves,
and go about murdering her because they want to make the decision for
her that she's unfit to live, no matter what she herself would really
want. It's sick, but what would you expect from a group of people so
closely tied to communism and who mock the word of God?

Listen to me very carefully, liberals. You do not have the authority to
decide what standard of living is acceptable for Terri. You do not
have the authority to decide that Terri is better off dead than alive.
You do  have the authority to not decide that murdering Terri by
starving her to death is more merciful than not murdering her and
allowing her to live. Ok? I know this goes against everything Hillary
Clinton, Barbara Streisand, Dianne Feinstein and your college
professors have told you, but you do not dictate other peoples lives
and tell them what to do.

I agree.
Liberals also have trouble understanding the core issue which is that it is
only Michael's word that she wanted to die, and on Larry King he said "I
don't know what Terri would want....this is what we want."
That's pretty clear that maybe he perjored himself about her wishes.

Michael Schiavo was not the only person who stated that Terri Schiavo
expressed her wish to not be kept alive as she is. read the actual court
papers.

We'd have liked to, but the requirement for a "de novo" review of the case,
passed into law by Congress and signed by the President, was IGNORED by a
Federal judge.

This is by far the most troubling aspect of this scenario:  that the
judiciary can express contempt of Congress with impunity.

Really? I find it far more troubling that the President thinks he can tell a
court what to do.

However, the court ruled on an emergency temporary restraining order
request, not the case. If she lives long enough, the case will get reviewed.

The actual court papers describe the testimoney from other people about
Terri's wishes, not just her husband's.

They were not ignored, but the facts of the case apparently failed to meet
the requirements for de novo review under other existing law.  No statute
operates in a vacuum.  By the way, do you know how often the Congress or the
White House, or both, ignore the rulings of the federal courts?

As it should be.  The federal government had no business sticking its

No, the most troubling part is that the federal government can try to
step on state courts just because some rightwing nutcase wants them
to.

There is a lot of anger here because no one could find an activist judge to
rule against the two dozen previous decisions.

I agree.

A lot of folks seem to think this is thawrt to the right to die. It is
not at all. Conservitives believe that Terri has the right to die if
that is really her choice. The reason conservitives are in such an
up-roar over this is because this whole case SMELLS LIKE A MURDER !!

I could care less what the court(S) have said on this, the courts have
been used to commit evil in the past as we all know. Michael's actions
over the past 15 years strongly suggest that he is acting rather
suspiciously. In fact he is on RECORD stating that he did not really
know what Terri's wishes are, he has stated on the record that what is
going on is 'his' wishes. IOWs he must have taken lessons from John
Kerry.

Conservitives believe that it is wrong to murder your wife, this whole
thing smells like a murder case, thats why the concern.
Even Jessie Jackson is concerned and he's a liberal, he like many
other Americans believe it is wrong to murder especially starving ones
wife to death with court backing.

If feel that the only way we are going to get to the bottom of this,
sort through all of the lies, and facts is to put Michael on trial for
manslaughter after Terri dies. After all there are a ton of abuse
claims being made by IIRC three nurses, one even claims that Michael
tried to murder Terri by injecting her with insulin back in '96.

Smells like a murder, perhaps the perfect murder.

Of course not.  He's basing his opinion on feelings and his sense of

No it doesn't.  The fact is, several people heard her say she would
never want to live in a PVS.

Riiight.  It's her FATHER that demanded half of the settlement money
before it went to pay her bills.

Everyone does, dumbass.

Just because you have a warped sense of smell doesn't make it murder.
The concern, as voiced by the spokesperson (the same loon who
supported bombing abortion clinics) is that it will adversly affect
the right-to-life movement.

>Even Jessie Jackson is concerned and he's a liberal,

Jessse's not concerned, he just needed the spotlight.  He's talking
abut civil rights again. Not Terri's life.

>he like many other Americans believe it is wrong to murder especially starving ones
>wife to death with court backing.

Many != the majority and even that doesn't matter because the LAW says
it doesn't.

>If feel that the only way we are going to get to the bottom of this,

(who cares what you feel?)

>tried to murder Terri by injecting her with insulin back in '96.

Yep, and the police investigated in 96 and found the charges to be
totally false. The nurse making the claim was then fired.  

>Smells like a murder, perhaps the perfect murder.

You smell like a moron, perhaps a neoconservitave moron.  Oh, wait,
that's redundant.

And I'm sure there'll be another ton before its over. If you
analyze their testimony you'll find it all elements subjective,
based on ignorance and wishful thinking.

This is a political issue. There is no legal basis for a
change in Shiavo's status.

Ms. Schiavo's brother is reporting that Michael Schiavo has denied the
church permission to administer communion. Now even what comfort the church
can provide is to be denied her.

If you looked up the word 'a.shole' it would say "See: Michael
Schiavo"

While I don't believe that  her parents' claims that she can get better
(they never claimed, AFIK, that there was nothing wrong with her) were
correct, I understand how this is an emotional issue on which her parents
never saw clearly. But I don't blame them for loving their daughter or doing
what they though was best for her.

As you can.

Well, Congress is contempuous. More to the point, our republic
is founded on a strict separation of powers. Those powers are
the Executive, the Legislative and the Judiciary.

The Congress can impeach judges but since there are multiple
judges involved in this case its clear that the Judiciary
is defending the law as well as the principle.

Then there is the argument by some grossly misinformed and
malformed creatures believe that the president, through the power
to "pardon", can sweep away all other considerations and "save"
Terri Shiavo.

"Michael's word" is all that is necessary. He is the spouse.
Its his call. Its his responsibility to make the decision.

It's false that only the husband's testimony about her wishes was
presented to the court. Several other witnesses to her statements were
also presented. AT least try to get the facts.

Ah. So it's BAD BAD BAD for liberals to allow a person to die naturally
without artificial aids to keep her alive, but in a coma for 13 years
but it's OK to allow a person to buy guns and sell them to terrorists?

Yeah, but your opening premise (that liberals want Schiavo dead) is also

Only one group is trying to pass laws that decide what will be done. If
no legislation is put in place, the husband & the parents duke it out to
reach a decision. Passing a law will make the decision in Washington.
Remember: Laws take rights away from people. nobody is trying to pass a
law that will force Schiavo's husband to kill her, they are only trying
to pass laws that will force him to keep her "alive".
By the way, wonder who's paying for all this life support? Bet it's
taxpayers or insurance ratepayers.

Name a single liberal who has actually been behind a pull the plug

conservatives, particularly conservative christians say I want to be
plugged in forever so I am going to force her to be.

Yeah! Screw those commies! where in The Bible does it say share with

that has no purpose here.  Also Whose "Word of God" are we speaking of?
and whose translation? I will assume you are speaking of the Catholic
Church because that is Terri's religion.

Really, you are quite comic. I wonder if this is a set up or if you
actually believe what you are saying. Anyways, You are making a command
in this last sentence and trying to say how you believe the law should
be. Say if Terri Shiavo should be kept on life support why not give
universal health care to all?  Oh wait. That's communist isn't it. but
I guess you have the authority to ignore people in need who still have
functioning brains.

You are making generalizations and accusations about why people believe

do not believe homosexuals should marry or that Harrp Potter should be
allowed in schools. Nobody is telling Shiavo how to live, they are
telling you to stay out of her and her husbands buisness.

Michael has, by the fact that he's taken up with another woman and
fathering children by her, divorced Teri. According to common law, he
has remarried.

What you pond scum liberals have accomplished is to allow an ex
husband to dictate life or death for his ex wife.

Bzzzt.  Wrong answer.  FL has abolished "common law" marriage.  Adultery may
violate one's moral principles or religious beliefs, but it is not a crime
in FL.  Moreover, it not only doesn't operate to dissolve the marriage, is
irrelevant and immaterial to a FL dissolution of marriage action.

There is the issue of respect for the privity of marriage, or the lack
thereof, as well as the fact that about 20 separate courts all ruled in
favor of Mr. Schiavo.  If not her husband, then who speaks for Ms. Schiavo?
The State?

Bzzt.  Sorry, incorrect, but we have some lovely parting gifts for you . . .
I have more or less given up on trying to explain legal and judicial
procedure to laymen, regardless of how intelligent and well-informed they
are otherwise.  No, my statement that "about 20 separate courts all ruled in
favor of Mr. Schiavo" is correct, largely because the OUTCOME was in his
favor.  Moreover, there wasn't 1 trial and 19 or so appellate reviews.  It
just didn't go down that way.  Suffice it to say that when you can get that
many different judges from so many diverse state and federal courts to all
concur in a particular course of action, it's a fairly safe bet that it's
because the law is pretty clear and unequivocal.

Florida Statutes
765.401
The proxy. -

 (1) If an incapacitated or developmentally disabled patient has not
executed an advance directive, or designated a surrogate to execute an
advance directive, or the designated or alternate surrogate is no longer
available to make health care decisions, health care decisions may be made
for the patient by any of the following individuals, in the following order
of priority, if no individual in a prior class is reasonably available,
willing, or competent to act:

 (a) The judicially appointed guardian of the patient or the guardian
advocate of the person having a developmental disability as defined in s.
393.063, who has been authorized to consent to medical treatment, if such
guardian has previously been appointed; however, this paragraph shall not
be construed to require such appointment before a treatment decision can be
made under this subsection;

 (b) The patient's spouse;

 (c) An adult child of the patient, or if the patient has more than one
adult child, a majority of the adult children who are reasonably available
for consultation;

 (d) A parent of the patient;

 (e) The adult sibling of the patient or, if the patient has more than one
sibling, a majority of the adult siblings who are reasonably available for
consultation;

 (f) An adult relative of the patient who has exhibited special care and
concern for the patient and who has maintained regular contact with the
patient and who is familiar with the patient's activities, health, and
religious or moral beliefs; or

 (g) A close friend of the patient.

 (h) A clinical social worker licensed pursuant to chapter 491, or who is
a graduate of a court-approved guardianship program. Such a proxy must be
selected by the provider's bioethics committee and must not be employed by
the provider. If the provider does not have a bioethics committee, then
such a proxy may be chosen through an arrangement with the bioethics
committee of another provider. The proxy will be notified that, upon
request, the provider shall make available a second physician, not involved
in the patient's care to assist the proxy in evaluating treatment.
Decisions to withhold or withdraw life-prolonging procedures will be
reviewed by the facility's bioethics committee. Documentation of efforts to
locate proxies from prior classes must be recorded in the patient record.

 (2) Any health care decision made under this part must be based on the
proxy's informed consent and on the decision the proxy reasonably believes
the patient would have made under the circumstances. If there is no
indication of what the patient would have chosen, the proxy may consider
the patient's best interest in deciding that proposed treatments are to be
withheld or that treatments currently in effect are to be withdrawn.

 (3) Before exercising the incapacitated patient's rights to select or
decline health care, the proxy must comply with the provisions of ss.
765.205 and 765.305, except that a proxy's decision to withhold or withdraw
life-prolonging procedures must be supported by clear and convincing
evidence that the decision would have been the one the patient would have
chosen had the patient been competent or, if there is no indication of what
the patient would have chosen, that the decision is in the patient's best
interest.

 (4) Nothing in this section shall be construed to preempt the designation
of persons who may consent to the medical care or treatment of minors
established pursuant to s. 743.0645.

No. She is in a persistant vegitative state.

And she was on life-support. She had a hole put in her stomach and through

Putting tube down that hole and using it for breathing or feeding would be

Well, as a medical doctor I think I know best. Her condition is not much
different than a person with cerebral palsy. A vegetative state is not the
same as being "brain dead". The pain centre was "absorbed"  haha If I were
to employ the tests to determine if a patient is dead every one of them
would show that she is quite alive. A "hole" in your stomach is not life
support. This woman lasted 15 years without any aid for breathing or

No, there is no one pain center. But the parts of her brain that allowed her

Wrong,  assuming that "brain dead" means cortically-dead,  the usual

True,  her body is/was alive.  It is just that her brain is dead.

Yer kind of mixing up responses.

I suppose that many believed that her animated states, the
"islands of consciousness", indicated awareness and thus
a potential for revcovery. That group argued against
"brain dead" despite the EEG readings.

After learning that she was oxygen deprived 15 years ago
combined with the flat EEG and a braincase scan that was
essentially vacuous, I concluded that she was running on the
autonomic nervous system with some subcortical nerve connections
intact.

YOU'RE RIGHT! like those Republican liberals in congress, and the liberal
president!!! we should throw those liberals out of office!

well, it's been proven in court, many times, that Terri Schiavo said that she
did not want to be put on life support if she were ever in a vegatative state,
like she is now.

so, all those Republican liberals in congress, and the liberal president are
intruding on her wishes by trying to keep her alive!!!

we need to throw those communist bastards out!!!

ok. can us moderates just laugh at you?

YEAH! like those Republican liberals in congress, and the liberal president!!!
those socialist sons of bitches need to GO!

see above.

Judge Greer is a moderate to conservative judge. most of the Florida judges who
heard this case are conservatives.

f.ck THOSE COMMUNIST BASTARDS! THROW OUT ALL THOSE CONSERVATIVE JUDGES!

They wanted a new review of the case; by refusing to do so, the judiciary
ignored the legislative and executive branch.  Do you really think that's a
good thing?

I don't think it is a good thing for the legislative and executive branches
telling the courts what to do.

According to the report on NPR, the US district court ruled that the action
the president and congress took was unconstitutional.

I didn't see the courts doing the legislature's job in this matter. They did
their job. And they did it very well.
