Schiavo drama intensifies US culture war

[TexasLawyer]

I was cruising some RW haunts and couldn't help but notice how whipped up a lot of folks are on the Schiavo case. As if there weren't enough ammunition in the culture war, here's one more thing. This is just one of 8 pages of pure anger, and it seems to be worse now that she's passed away.

I'm sure most people, liberal and conservative, appreciated the sensitivity and many shades of moral gray surrounding her death, but you'd never guess that from the posts... Liberals are just mad abortionists who can't stop with killing babies and are now moving on to adults.

Shheesh!


*******************
You libs that positively salivate at the prospect of Terri Schiavo's death, are you so f***ed in the head that the ONLY reason you want Terri to die, or the MAIN reason you want Terri to die, is because a bunch of Conservative Christians want her to live?

Come on and admit it if this applies to you.

Liberals are pro-death. They embrace a culture of death. The more defenseless a victim is, the more they cheer for their death, as evidenced by their blind support of infanticide.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Well, hear death is against human rights.
Amnesty international is silent - their web page inaccessible.

They view this as simply a VERY late-term abortion.

Of course, when asked why the fight so vehemently to keep some of the most heinous criminals alive, the reply is the soothing sound of the crickets...

You mean those who are simply horrified by a US soldier putting panties on a terrorist prisoners head are silent on the issue of starving an injured woman to death BECAUSE she had the gall to get sick?

Well....whadja expect?

Consistency? Honor?

Hate to say it Mac...but if you did, you are SUCH a rube!

Pro death
Pro abortion
Pro Euthenasia
Pro Criminals rights
Pro Enslavement (through government checks)
Pro Big Government

And they call conservatives evil.

The only thing that we can hope for is the backlash from this open display of joy at the prospect of this womans death will cause a backlash that will finally "kill" what is left of their political influence. Thought Dems are the only ones comfortable campaigning on dead bodies and threats of dead bodies.

Kinda makes you appreciate just how vital the fight over Bush's judiciary picks is.

The only good thing, for the first time in their lives liberals are talking about the sanctity of states rights.
I sense that they will succeed in killing this woman, as big a shame as that is. Hopefully some good can some of it.

The main reason liberals are so anxious to see her die is to stick it to the "pro-life" crowd.

1. These people simply make no sense.

One could, I suppose, respond to each incrediablly stupid statement one by one, but how repetitive would that be? This simply makes no sense. Clearly they have no understanding of modern American politics.

And these people are allowed to vote. :cry:

[PA Democrat]

2. Rush Limbaugh was fueling the fires of hatred today

accusing liberals of celebrating Terri Schiavo's death and indeed even being to blame for her death. And the stupid angry blind followers just repeat his hate speech without any type of critical analysis into its content.

Rush, Hannity, Delay, and company are stoking the fires of division and hatred in this country. I fear the direction in which we are headed.

[cquik18]

3. I see the conservatives lemmings are STILL at it...

They will NOT accept the fact that this whole Schiavo tragedy is a Republican play from front to back. From the Florida Supreme Court to the federal Supreme Court, from Governor Jeb Bush to his big brother in the White House, this has been an example of a house divided!

Governor Bush intervenes, the (I think) CONSERVATIVE state Supremes rule it unconstitutional. Tom De Lay and the Congress make a law for ONE person, the President comes to D.C. for the SOLE purpose of signing the law, and the CONSERVATIVE Supreme Court strikes it down.

I'm surprised that Sean Hannity's, Michael Savages's, Scarborough's, and Limbaugh's (and their multitude of ditto-headed legions) heads aren't exploding right now!

5. This is the extreme far right GOP politicians exercising

their muscle under Bush's extremist umbrella. The 11th District Court Judge denying the appeal was a conservative judge in one of the most conservative courts in the country and was appointed by GHWB.

The GOP party has been hijacked by neocons.

[cquik18]

6. That's right...the judge got kicked out of his church...

for denying the appeal...so much for separation for church and state.

[kineneb]

13. Yea, but this is America, he can shop for a new church

don't like your religion, trade it in for a different one! Sounds like he may need to do so.

[cquik18]

14. Agreed....

Besides, a congregation like that strikes me as the type whose members move when a black family moves down the street, decries immigration even as Julio does their garden for pennies under the threat of INS being called in, and grouses over indecency on TV while accidentally leaving the porno tape in the VCR for the kids to find! :-p

This is the motto of "Christians" like those mentioned above:

"Love thy neighbor, as long as he looks, thinks, and acts like you."

[cquik18]

8. The neocons are just teed off....

that no matter how hard they try, they can NOT make this mess stick to any liberals...even with Jesse Jackson down there on behalf of the family, the mud doesn't stick...

[Erika]

4. Florida recognized the legality and sanctity of the marriage

contract giving the spouse the right to speak for the other under state law. That is as it should be.

[zulchzulu]

7. Loudmouth pinheads make for a small majority as seen in the polls

Looking at the polls that showed that 80% of people disagreed with the Shiavo case and how it was handled proves that:

- Some knuckleheads actually believe FN, but most think it's disgusting
- The term "culture war" is a Repug term...hence I would ignore using it in a discussion
- The term "pro-life" is a Repug term...it's ONLY to be called "anti-choice"
- This case is going to come back and bite the Repug party hard in 2006 if we do our homework and have the balls to chop off some heads...starting with Tom DeLay...

[cquik18]

9. Same for "Culture of Life"....

That's another phrase we shouldn't get suckered by. Bush wants to err on the side of life, and have a "culture of life" in the U.S., he can start by bringing our troops home. But we know THAT'S not gonna happen, don't we?

[marew]

10. These people are scary.

They are living in their own delusional, sick world. Where have they been for the last 20 years? Food and hydration are removed from the seriously ill who have no hope of recovery all the time. I'd say the difficulty that the poor and middle class have getting health care under the repukes is hardly supporting a "culture of life." Many Americans don't have to worry about removing a feeding tube, they can't afford to get one in the first place.:eyes:

[Riverman]

11. What does victory look like to the Death Cult?

The Death Cult -evangelicals, neo-cons, corporate media, right wing republicans, views victory in cultural war when everyone is dead! The rapture is about being DEAD!
When people die tragically - they say "They are in a better place!"
Only death gets these people to where they want to be - in their mythical heavan!
So wars that incinerate babies, that burn off their flesh, that murder on an anisepticdispassionate mass scale are just fine - actually doing God's work - more death, more chance that sinners will face judgement day.
The Cultural War is actually about a choice of life or death.

Schiovo's brother said tonight on CNN something to effect that God obviously loves Terri more than we do because he has taken her to be with him! So, according to he brother, despite all the screaming about saving her, Terri is now better off with God! So her death is better, right? All death is good to these people

Wage the Cultural War - choose life - real life! Peace!

[BlackVelvetElvis]

12. Expect to hear the talking point

"Culture of death" about as much as "activist judges".
I am now beyond giving not one shit what they think.
Especially a white power site like protestwarrior.
I don't have time nor energy to beat my head against a wall.

[Lexingtonian]

15. There's no making sense of their idiocy

Their semblences of sanity at other times are deceptive.

Terri Schiavo is a metaphor for themselves- nearly brain dead and without a future despite being physically alive- and that's what has them glomming on to the affair.

The idea that pulling the plug could be an act of mercy, an act of justice, cuts against their vanity, the foolishness of what they "know", and their vicarious and pathetic selfidentification.

The most ludicrous things on right wing boards is seeing as they try to figure out an argument to present in court. It's watching monkeys banging on typewriters, because their brainwashing is (by design) such that they cannot comprehend the substance of the 14th Amendment, let alone apply it intelligently.

[Erika]

16. Well said
