Starting today, those damn Democrats are starving Terri Schiavo to death. If God didn't want us to selfishly defy his will for years on end in vegetative states, he wouldn't have invented feeding tubes, machined food pumps and health insurance.
Liberals continue to arrogantly believe these miracle machines were their ideas. Yeah, and Al Gore invented the Internets!
The fact is, these wonders in technology were manufactured in fluffy clouds to keep angels like Terri around to remind us how precious life is. We need reminders because our value for life isn't strong enough without forcing Terri to live vegetatively on machines as the living reminder our agenda is sorely missing.
It's just wrong to push the off buttons which were clearly invented by Satan, his evil "activist judge" helpers and the one world government! What a very sad day for our life-affirming agenda... oh, and Terri.
Democrats are more united, largely opposing government involvement."I think one of the few things that makes this terrible situation worse is for politicians to get involved," said Jim Davis, congressman from Tampa who is seeking the Democratic nomination for governor.
"I believe very strongly in the will of God, and I don't think government should interfere," said state Democratic Party Chairman Scott Maddox, who is considering the race. "The politicians in Tallahassee shouldn't make that decision."

Note: My family has had to make this very difficult decision for my brother, who ultimately passed away in the 1980s. It's a difficult enough decision for a family to make without the government taking away the rights of the family to make these decisions themselves. None of us would take that decision back for Joshua. I strongly believe people who try to take away lawful rights or insert the government into such deeply personal decisions for their own selfish agendas ultimately mock and trivialize life in the a manner satirically presented here.
UPDATE 5:21PM ET: If you need an example of the truely selfish nature of those seeking to intercede on the wishes of Michael and Terri Schiavo, take a look at conservative writer Peggy Noonan's vulgar blathering imploring Republicans to not think about what's best for Terri, but what's best for their careers.
So let me write a sentence I never thought I'd write: Politicians, please, think of yourselves! Move to help Terri Schiavo, and no one will be mad at you, and you'll keep a human being alive. Do nothing and you reap bitterness and help someone die.

Still more, Republicans have now stooped to new lows, pandering to their radical evangelical base by issuing a subpeona for Terri Schiavo's lifeless body to be displayed before the United States Congress. This outrageous grandstanding is just the latest example of vulgar misuse of power by the Republican controlled Congress and the White House.
Committees in the Republican-controlled Congress issued subpoenas for Schiavo, her husband, and her caregivers demanding that they appear at hearings in the coming weeks.But the judge presiding over the case refused a request from House attorneys to delay the removal, which he had previously ordered to take place at noon CST.
Michael Schaivo's attorney, George Felos, called the congressional subpoeans "nothing short of thuggery."
"It was odious, it was shocking, it was disgusting and i think all Americans should be very alarmed about that," he said at a news conference.
