JUDGE REFUSES TO MAKE SURE TERRI LIVES

The federal judge refused to order that Terri's feeding tube be reinserted and that she be given food and water while the NEW federal case proceeds.

I find this SHOCKING, and I am very VERY disappointed.

Maybe I shouldn't be; after all, this judge was appointed to the federal court by Clinton.

COINCIDENCE? Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe he was appointed by Clinton because he's a liberal who thinks that fetuses and people who are brain-damaged don't have an intrinsic right to live - but only a conditional one.

I do not believe that if this was a DEATH PENALTY case that the judge would have allowed the state to execute the prisoner while his case was still under federal judicial review. IN OTHER WORDS: liberals like this judge routinely give more rights to convicted murderers than to this brain-damaged person.

That's just a fact.

*******
ADDENDUM:
Now, if King Solomon was deciding this case it is ABSOLUTELY clear what he'd do, because it is absolutely clear who has Terri's interests at heart: her parents. Her husband even refuses to feed her while her case is under review. WHY? Because he wants her to die as soon as possible. Even though there is not one shred of evidence that she is suffering. And even though the ONLY people who EVER testified that Terri would not want to go on living like this are all named Schiavo; YUP: isn't it strange that not one single member of Terri's family (THE SCHINDLERS) EVER heard an INKLING about this from Terri - even though the family had direct experience with other family members on life support?!

I think the judge's refusal to feed Terri whiule he hears the case reveals a pattern - a Left-wing pattern: they support killing fetuses; they're against the death penalty for murderers; they don't think that we should use our military strength to help spread democracy (as we did in Iraq), and also argue that we have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of other nations EVEN IF there is a systematic denial of human rights and genocide (as when Clinton did nothing to stop Rwandan genocide) - and they think that it's okay for brain-damaged people to be starved to death.

What do we call this pattern? I'm not sure. Maybe we should call it "Narcissistic Nihilism."

Here's my preliminary thinking:

I think the Left has bastardized an old saying, "Live and let live." To the Left, the saying has become "let me live, let them die." This is the ultimate narcissism and I think it grew out of the anti-West, counter-culture of post-modernism. In other words: it is a direct result of the Marcusian-Marxist 1960's. It's the ultimate nihilistic outburst of the Me Generation: my pregnancies are my business - not my fetuses; my country should never intervene miltarily against another until AFTER we're attacked ("the Vietcong and Saddam never attacked ME!?"); capitalism is terrorism; "Western Civilization is scourge upon the Earth fomenting racism, slavery, poverty, and global warming;" there are no intrinsic norms and therefore no such thing as deviancy: everything is permitted - including the right of an estranged husband to kill his brain-damaged wife.

Well, when everything is permitted, then people merely do what is right in their own eyes. That is the very definition of evil.
