After a long drawn-out fight, Michael Schiavo has succeeded in his goal to starve his wife to death. Terri Schiavo is dead and has entered eternity. Michael Schiavo must live on with the consequences of his murderous choices.
It is a dark day in American history. We have been tested ethically and morally, and have failed as a nation. We are moving towards the European model of euthenasia, where other people decide whether or not someone else has a \”quality of life\” worthy of continued life. After that? It\’s shades of Nazi Germany.
Sure, there are those who will call me radical. To those people, I ask you this. How did it all start in Nazi Germany? Once you educate yourself and discover the truth, you will be unable to disguise the frightening parallels.
The slippery slope keeps getting slippier.
Who really deserves justice in this case?
Michael Schiavo – I\’d like to ask Mr. Schiavo why he never allowed a catscan on Terri while she was alive? And why will the autopsy not explore Terri\’s broken bones?
Judge Greer – Join the fight to Impeach Judge Greer, a man who has absolutely no interest in truth, and no business occupying an important seat in the U.S. judiciary.
Here are reasons that Judge George Greer should be removed from the bench:
Failed to require Terri�s guardian to obey guardianship law and file annual reports. Refused to enforce lawfully issued subpoenas to compel witnesses to be questioned by the family�s attorney. Denied repeated requests for Terri to have her own attorney. Denied repeated requests for an unbiased guardian ad litem to advise the court on an ongoing basis. Ruled on the ultimate question, that is, Terri�s wishes, on what should have been inadmissible hearsay evidence alone, and with no other significant and material evidence allowed or contemplated. Failed to consider expert opinion on behalf of Terri�s family when reaching the ultimate findings of fact. Displayed open contempt for co-equal branches of the sovereign State of Florida, declaring that the People�s representatives have no legitimate interest in scrutinizing his decrees from his bench. Failed to admit into evidence or give proper weight to evidence presented, in good faith, that Terri was being neglected or abused in an ongoing manner as a patient. Failed to grant Terri due process, by repeatedly denying requests to compel medical testing that meets accepted standards for diagnosis. Disregarded the State�s statutorily-mandated duty to investigate credible allegations of abuse and neglect, effectively voiding the laws of the legislative branch and frustrating the mandatory responsibilities of the executive branch. Took the extraordinary step of not just authorizing the guardian (Michael Schiavo) to make the decision to remove Terri�s feeding tube, but ordered, twice that it will be done, no matter what, an unprecedented exercise of authority that he does not possess. Denied request to allow Terri to attempt to eat on her own after the feeding tube is removed, taking the extraordinary step of ruling that the woman must die even in the event that she may be able to sustain herself without an artificial assistance.
The Mainstream Media – Of course, ABC/CBS/NBC continue to enjoy the slow death that they deserve.
The Right to Die crowd – Just wait until they are on the other end of the feeding tube. Sad, misguided and dangerous.
First they came for the Communists,
and I didn�t speak up,
because I wasn�t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn�t speak up,
because I wasn�t a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn�t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.

My heart goes out the family and friends of Terri Schiavo. May God have mercy on us all…
