Why Liberals Are So Intent On Killing Terri
By Christopher G. Adamo
At this writing, Terri Schiavo has been denied food and water for five days. Her fate hangs in the balance, having slipped yet further upon the decision of U.S. District Court Judge James Whittemore, a Clinton appointee, who took his time before refusing to order her feeding tube to be replaced so that she might begin to take nourishment and water once again.
Whittemore can pride himself, in keeping with the twisted precepts of the counterculture, not only for assenting to her condemnation, but also for wasting precious time in his premeditated (a word used with full understanding of its implications) charade of deliberation. The result of which was obviously fixed in his mind before any official contact was ever made with his court.
But time is a luxury that Terri does not have. Within only a few days she will start to suffer irreparable damage from the insidiously slow death sentence that was placed upon her by a husband who clearly has an obsession with her eradication as a human being.
It is nothing less than nightmarish to consider how this scenario has played out. A helpless, defenseless woman, whose pitiable plight would in another time have rendered her the object of universal compassion and concern, instead becomes the focus of an epic battle between two ideologies that are as far apart as any notions of good and evil can be.
During the past five days, a frightening pattern has become evident to a far greater degree than ever before imagined. The opposing philosophies in this battle over Terri Schiavo's fate fall squarely along the lines of today's political ideologies. Those who uphold traditional morality diligently seek to save her, while the modern counterculture is just as feverishly working to end her life.
Thus it should surprise no one that, as the battle over her fate moved into the political realm, conservatives in the Republican Party have fought for the cause of nurturing and saving her, while liberal Democrats have been fixated on displaying their progressive and superior awareness of life by working incessantly towards the goal of her death.
It blatantly apparent that counterculture holds a deep abiding interest in finalizing her annihilation. Every precept of euthanasia, abortion and infanticide that it seeks to justify and normalize in American society can be likened to some aspect of this case. Yet her lingering life, her responses to those people around her, and the looming possibility of any degree of recovery cry out against such things. Thus she cannot be allowed to survive.
Furthermore, the counterculture has great lessons that it intends to teach the rest of society through her methodically orchestrated destruction and death, chief among which being that they alone shall define "values" for the rest of America. They alone shall define "compassion" in whatever perverse and arbitrary terms they so choose. Henceforth liberals will determine, with the sanction of the modern activist judicial establishment, right from wrong, good from evil, and now as we see, who will live and who will die.
For his own part, Terri's "husband" Michael has from the beginning shown only the darkest side of what a life companion ever should be. Irrespective of any speculation as to his possible complicity in the mysterious events of some fifteen years ago that resulted in Terri's present state, it is absolutely inarguable that since that time, his only interest in the affair has been to see the evil affliction through to its completion.
But Michael Schiavo's regard towards Terri is nothing new in our society, particularly as America continues to rot from within. Scott Peterson clearly held a similar attitude towards Laci. Many would contend that O.J. Simpson's regard for Nichole was no different.
Admittedly, spousal abuse and murder have plagued American society since the founding of the nation. Yet the degree of reptilian coldness, with which governmental institutions are abetting this crime, constitutes a new low in American "justice." Perhaps the stage was being set for a long time, but with this event, America crosses the sort of threshold that the German people crossed on the day the first Jewish business was looted, or the first Jewish family was assaulted, with the sanctioning of the government.
Men of depraved character have long sought ways to be relieved of their responsibilities in life, and have often attempted to absolve themselves of any obligation to a spouse through the eradication of that unwanted partner. But while this, in itself, is nothing new, the establishment of a society in which so abhorrent of a goal can be pursued under such twisted and morally bankrupt auspices that it can be couched in terms of "compassion" is, indeed something which indicates a malignancy in American society, and likely one from which it will never recover. That, in itself, is another victory for the left.
