I hope mr. limbaugh is correct:

Schiavo: Awakening A Sleeping Giant by David Limbaugh

It is just possible, contrary to my original thoughts, that the tragic Schiavo case will not usher in a slippery slope toward euthanasia but cause a double-barreled backlash against both the "Culture of Death" and judicial activism.

To be sure, the legal precedent established in this case, at least in Florida, represents an affirmative devaluation of human life and opens the door to further troubling scenarios, involving the state-sanctioned murder of the inconvenient, based on "quality of life" assessments.

But I sense in this nation a growing outrage at the arrogance and unaccountability of our judiciary, and at the cavalier attitude many are exhibiting toward life.

[what's up]

I believe Limbaugh is right.

[diamond6]

I pray he is right, but what about the polls? They indicated a greater number supporting the tube being pulled.

I pray that poll was wrong.

[Borges]

I hope it leads to administering legal principles tempered with mercy. The problem here wasn't Judicial Activism but a Judge who bears more resemblance to a heatless automaton then a human being.

[westmichman]

Limbaugh's columns are always well reasoned and easy to read. I have his and Ann Coulter's e-mailed to me each time they write a new one. I think you couldn't do much better than that!

[TXBubba]

I don't believe in any of the polls anymore. Especially after you find out what questions they ask.

[Aussie Dasher]

Forget the polls. Truth will out in the end - but only after a major fight.

If murder of the sick and disabled becomes the norm in America, it will fall as a civilization.

[socialismisinsidious]

I agree. I was surprised to see the fox news poll. I walked around today thinking that we should be hanging our heads in shame while apparently most people thought that an act of mercy had been committed. huh?

[thoughtomator]

I swear this guy must be reading my posts... this is the second column this week, the title of which seems lifted right out of something I've written.

Who do I ask for syndication royalties, I wonder?

Think Terry's Fight does not affect, or apply, to you?

Think again.

Got a recessive gene? Old parent or spouse? Handicapped child?

At what point do they become "a useless Eater"-- like Terry?

All you geezers that moved to Florida for low taxes & mild weather? You're next...

Just as the Pope predicted, we have become a Cult of Death--

I hope he is right, not only this case will wake the sleeping giant, but , also the Homosexual agenda trying to force their same sex marriage on us all through the runaway tyrannical courts.

[mikeus_maximus]

In order for that to happen, the public at large would have to understand the facts and the danger.

They don't.

I'm less sanguine that anything good will come out of this.

[wingman1]

"I pray that poll was wrong."

The people I have talked with, who believed the tube should be pulled were entirely ignorant of the issue at hand. They quickly changed their minds once they heard a chronology of events.

The task now is to inform others so that this dreadful deed is never repeated.

Hearts and minds will be changed in the future.

[Coop]

If murder of the sick and disabled becomes the norm in America, it will fall as a civilization.

Amen.

[Reddy]

I can only pray this will happen, although I sadly have some doubts. I keep hearing people say that they can "see both sides of the story". How can you see the side where a disabled woman was starved to death by her husband and equate that with anything proper?

Hopefully, the Schindlers can file a civil wrongful death suit against Michael, and the truth will come out in the msm, just like it did for OJ.

PS, where are the womyn's groups on this?

[SvdByFaith]

The polls are all on the MSM news, which most conservatives do not read.

[Coop]

In order for that to happen, the public at large would have to understand the facts and the danger. They don't. I'm less sanguine that anything good will come out of this.

I have my doubts as well. If conservatives on this forum can't even get motivated by the travesty of the last two weeks to take action, via the March for Justice or other means, I'm not too hopeful about the general public.

Hi all,
As I've mentioned on other threads, I'm not too sure what's going to come of this but it's almost like you can feel the country tipping. Maybe it's just noticeable because it's been tipped to the left, collectivist view for so long and we (and the left) notice things going the other way. Or maybe it's just started going completely the wrong way, the way the folks on the Titanic must've felt when they heard a scraping sound and felt a bump...Hope it's the first one.

[LiveFreeOrDie2001]

I'm getting a little concerned that we're polarizing so much in this Country, and now this, that we may slip into somewhat of a civil war that may not be too civil...
