Seems that a liberal can’t crawl enough before it:
ROME, FEB. 27, 2008 (Zenit.org).- Senator Barack Obama’s claim that it was a “mistake” to vote in favor of an attempt to save the life of Florida woman Terri Schiavo is a statement that “dismisses life,” said her brother.
Bobby Schindler, the executive director of the Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation, told ZENIT today that the senator’s comment “dismisses life in favor of death.” Schindler is in Rome to participate in the Pontifical Academy for Life’s congress titled “Close By the Incurable Sick Person and the Dying: Scientific and Ethical Aspects.”
Schindler also received an award today on behalf of his parents, Robert and Mary Schindler, from the Italian Movement For Life and Science and the association Life Rome for the couple’s efforts to fight on behalf of their daughter’s life, whose death was induced by the court-ordered removal of her feeding tube in 2005…
…During a presidential debate in Cleveland, Ohio, on Tuesday with Senator Hillary Clinton, Obama said of his vote in favor of the attempt to save Schiavo’s life: “It was not something I was comfortable with, but it was not something that I stood on the floor and stopped.
“And I think that was a mistake, and I think the American people understood that that was a mistake. As a constitutional law professor I knew better. I think that’s an example of inaction, and sometimes that can be as costly as action.”
Given the number of times Obama has votes “present” or failed to vote at all, I can’t see where he think that “inaction” is a bad thing. For all of Obama’s rhetoric about hope all I can see in him now is the spindly, decayed finger of despair – a hideous malformation of hope, which has twisted itself into being the advocate of hopelessness – thus the utter degradation of modern liberalism.
Contrast this nauseating sell-out of basic human decency to John McCain’s views:
There is no greater nobility than to sacrifice for a great cause and no cause greater than protection of human dignity. Decency, human compassion, self-sacrifice and the defense of innocent life are at the core of John McCain’s value system and will be the guiding principles of a McCain Presidency.
If you are pro-life, there is only one person to vote for in November.
You have a lot of rhetoric there William.
Why didnt you mention the fact that the real reason Terri was killed was because the Judge refused to acknowledge the testimony that Terry actually was aware of things (and it was proven). The Florida Laws did not consider Terri to be in a PVS, but Greer pushed it through not based on all of the evidence, but on his own personnal beliefs.
Terri was killed by a liberal judge excercising political activism.
The great Judge that killed Terri;
During the trial of the Schiavo matter, the factual issue of whether Terri Schiavo would want to live if suffering serious medical setbacks arose. Because Michael Schiavo and his Hemlock Society lawyer George Felos had no written evidence of her signing a living will, before her mysterious 1990 injuries, Michael belatedly presented uncorroborated (and likely perjured) testimony that Terri would not want to keep living, which is contradicted by her strong reaction as recently as this last Friday when told by attorney Barbara Weller that her feeding tube would be removed.
Under the circumstances of the trial testimony, Greer knew that a guardian ad litem (court appointed representative of a young or incompetent party) should be appointed to represent Terri’s interests, because her husband had a self-serving and conflicting interest in killing her, due to his receipt of her personal injury awards, and his convenience in not having to care for her.
Instead of appointing a guardian ad litem to represent Terri’s interests before the Court, Greer contended that he could evaluate her interest properly. By doing so, Greer violated both Canon 5(E)1 and 2 of the Florida Judicial Canons, which prevent a judge from serving as a guardian except for a member of the judge’s family, and Florida statute 744.309(b), which states the Canon in a statute enacted by the Florida legislature.
Of course, Greer could not have gotten away with such a clear violation of judicial integrity, of Chief Judge Altenbernd of the Second District Court of Appeal had not ratified his action in a 2001 decision issued from that court’s Lakeland, FL. Courthouse

No need to take Our word for it but Terri Schiavo’s soul had left her body long before she was pronounced dead by the staff where her body gasped last for air. The form of massive gray and white matter deterioration that she suffered rendered her blind and unable to respond to external stimulti. Only the autonomic functions of her body and the most basic of cranial nerve responses remained.
We, Ourselves, ask all of you so certain of an Eternal Reward why do all of you seek so much to cling to a shell that is destined to return to dust? Have you no faith in this great thing you espouse?
So, Ohio, all those state statutes against murder are unconstitutional? Okay, whatever you say.
