- Boy, when it comes to saving beached whales, we are a
terrific bunch of folks. We all get together and do the best we can to
save the poor beasts. And how about them little white baby seals? Boy are
we great! We want to STOP the slaughter, don't we? Whales, little doggies,
horses, animals of all kinds ... we cannot see them suffer, can we?
-
- But when it comes to a human life, the silence is deafening.
-
- Where, please, are the ACLU, the Womens' Activists, the
churches? Where are they? Well, off defending the rights of terrorists.
Making certain they are not embarrassed or treated harshly. I mean after
all, they are HUMAN beings are they not?
-
- Seems to this writer that we've gotten our priorities
all out of whack. Terri Schiavo apparently does not warrant selection as
someone worth saving, someone worth investigating every scrap of evidence
to ensure that her rights, not the rights of her estranged husband, are
guaranteed.
-
- Wait, before you go ballistic over the use of that word,
"Estranged," allow me to tell you a fact and mention a few words
which offend me. Here ... estranged because Michael Schiavo has lived with
another woman for ten years or so and had two children by her. Cogito,
ergo 'estranged.'
-
- And how about the words which offend me and Terri. Words
such as "vegetative state" and "kept alive by extraordinary
means," etc. Neither is true and yet the liberal media and liberal
judges fail to see the facts in this case. Or at least, fail to recognize
the possibility of foul play.
-
- Ahah! Another bad word. Liberal. Well, Democrats have
failed to win much in the last few years and it's hard for me to understand
how the party of John Kennedy, the party of the people, the caring party,
has sunk so low as to be the party of Hollywood, Universities and the party
of the courts.
-
- See, it's my theory that the reason liberals focus on
the judicial system is because it's one of the very few places where they
can win. Naturally, it is a fine place on which to concentrate. At least
there, with our liberal judicial system, liberals are more or less guaranteed
some measure of success.
-
- Terri Schiavo is not in a vegetative state. She is not
being kept alive by extraordinary means. She is merely being fed food and
drink. That's it. She is responsive to her surroundings and responsive
to her relatives.
-
- That Michael Schiavo may have brought harm to Terri is
a possibility. On that basis alone, criminal investigation should have
begun long ago. If Terri is allowed to die, the repercussions for the Democrat
party, the liberal judicial system, Hollywood and our University professors
and other 'teachers' of the faith of liberalism will see a reaction the
likes of which they cannot in their wildest imaginations, expect. At least
I hope so.
-
- Democrats and liberals are digging their own graves.
When it comes to death, the liberal takes a strong stand. Death of infants.
Death of innocents. Death of the disabled. But when it comes to life, the
RIGHT to life, they fail miserably.
-
- Long live the liberal culture. For as long as it remains,
it shall remind us of what is wrong with our society. Liberalism in it's
most exquisitely evil form.

- Addendum...
-
- It is, perhaps, a bit unusual for someone to write a
comment on his own article, therefore and with Jeff's permission, I would
make this an addendum. And it relates to how this piece was perceived by
those who responded by email. This piece drew 129 email responses. Half
were supportive ... well ... a little less than half. One was extremely
correct in the writer's evaluation. And the rest were more than abusive.
When one treads on politics and mix in religion and morality, one is in
grave danger of becoming the butt of the insane, the butt of those who
don't give a damn about the feelings and rights of others. They care only
about their own views and close their minds to the needs of the rest of
us who may not share their world view.
-
- It is WE who are anathema to such, not Terri, not the
courts ... we who care. In life, there must be a proper mix of all which
makes up our culture, our own personal culture.
-
- What hurts us the most is the fact that in polls I've
read, a greater percentage of people in the nation want to see Terri's
feeding tube removed. That, kind and gentle readers, is the worst possible
scenario.
-
- My wife and I know that Terri Schiavo will likely pass.
But we also know that those responsible will pay the ultimate price, ultimately.
And further, that legislation will hopefully be enacted which will prevent
such tragedies from happening again.
-
- If we are wrong, then we the people are pretty much finished
in the USA. We've gone down the tubes. This has been my feeling for quite
some time now. And this scenario merely enforces that opinion.
-
- Last, please pray for Terri. But also, please pray for
those without hearts. For those without a connection to their own souls.
For those who beat the drum of atheism. For they need prayers more than
we. It is they, not Terri Schiavo, who are dying of thirst and hunger.
-
- The man in me hopes they perish. The Christian in me
hopes they change their ways and not merely see the light, but acknowledge
it.

-
- Mort: Boy, when it comes to saving beached whales, we
are a terrific bunch of folks. We all get together and do the best we can
to save the poor beasts.
-
- Lehm: Given that it is not the beasts supporting wholesale
rape of the planet and who are all allowed to expire, ~anyway~, after their
plight has served to salve a fickle public interest... it may come as no
surprise (to a ~rational~ observer) that even less compassion and concern
needs to be paid to any one human being... unless of course that individual
can be used as a political chip in your President's corrupt version of
"Texas Hold 'Em." Is it Ms Schiavo holding her breath for the
flop? Has Tom DeLay bottom dealt the turn card? Is Georgie radiating
his trademark smirk with the river card up his duplicitous sleeve?
-
- Mort: And how about them little white baby seals? Boy
are we great! We want to STOP the slaughter, don't we? Whales, little doggies,
horses, animals of all kinds ... we cannot see them suffer, can we?
-
- Lehm: 25,000 children die on this planet every day,
just of starvation... *Doctor*! Species extinction is at an all time HIGH...*Doctor*!
Babies and hapless adults who can't pay a bill have their plugs pulled
and tubes removed, *Doctor*! A succession of largely Republican governments
(assisted by opportunist Dixie-crats!) have eroded the quality of aggregate
human life in leaps and bounds, *Doctor*, to provide ~you~ personally (along
with a shrinking minority of elitist sociopaths) ill gotten gains of tax
relief and protection from criminal prosecution. I remain unmoved at the
fatuous excesses of your crocodile-teared and patently convenient compassion.
I believe your concern is a ~fraud~, Sir.
-
- Mort: But when it comes to a human life, the silence
is deafening.
-
- Lehm: Astonishing! I don't know what bizarre invention
of reality you have fallaciously (...and oh so conveniently?) cobbled together
for yourself, but Rense has been talking about this for almost a year and
it is now wall to wall excess in explication on any media outlet you care
to trot out. Moreover, a silence can't be deafening if ~you~ contribute
to it, *Doctor*. Where is this petulant concern for Hutu's and Tutsies,
for the millions frozen out of due process with Tort reform, hazarded by
deregulation, imperiled by rights loss, impoverished by transnationals,
and poisoned by same? You're a fraud, *Doctor*.
-
- Mort: Where, please, are the ACLU, the Womens' Activists,
the churches?
-
- Lehm: Is there no end to your senseless duplicity, Sir?
Do you have a scintilla of short-term memory remaining, Sir? Do you expect
to be taken, remotely, seriously, Sir? If they ~got~ involved, *Doctor*,
you'd be the first to whine and moan about ~that~, and have, I think, right
here on this board. You ~are~ a FRAUD, *Doctor*... in my opinion, of course.
-
- Mort: Where are they? Well, off defending the rights
of terrorists.
-
- Lehm: No, *Doctor*. They are trying to slow our descent
into abject tyranny, religious fundamentalism actually worse than the Islamic
variety, and creeping fascism. They ~like~ our Bill of Rights, our checks
and balances, and respect for the individual just as it was. I'm ~not~
surprised you don't. This is forgetting that more innocent than guilty
have been egregiously abused in the lack of accountability you otherwise
champion, or how is it that a United States Senator can be denied air-travel...
and how many convictions ~have~ there been as a result of 9/11? You're
all yellow bluster and weepy jingoism, *Doctor*, that's all.
-
- Mort: Making certain they are not embarrassed or treated
harshly. I mean after all, they are HUMAN beings are they not?
-
- Lehm: That's right, *Doctor*! One could almost believe
your sappy saccharine concern until they remember that this is just another
little mechanism you've chosen to attach yourself too, fallaciously, only
to point a finger at yourself. I don't believe you, *Doctor*, as I've
written before. Ms. Schaivo is just another opportunity to ring your noisome
little bell, Sir. Feel Shame!
-
- Mort: Seems to this writer that we've gotten our priorities
all out of whack.
-
- Lehm: We'll forget for a moment that we've you and yours
to thank, *Doctor*. We'll return to that later. I've seen your convenient
priorities in action, *Doctor*. I wonder what Budd Hopkins thinks about
your priorities... *Doctor*. I can testify that I found little of value
in them.
-
- Mort: Terri Schiavo apparently does not warrant selection
as someone worth saving, someone worth investigating every scrap of evidence
to ensure that her rights, not the rights of her estranged husband, are
guaranteed.
-
- Lehm: You don't give a ~damn~ about her, *Doctor*.
Moreover, try to remember all this when the World media, state and federal
government, and the church are parked out in front of ~your~ house... sticking
its feral opportunist's nose into your bedroom, private family business,
and core personal affairs. You'll squeal like a little repugnican ~then~
I'll wager, and resent all the churlish little Mortellaros intruding and
commenting, speciously I add, on ~your~ private affairs. You are an illustration
for the word despicable, *Doctor*, in my opinion, of course.
-
- Mort: Wait, before you go ballistic over the use of
that word, "Estranged," allow me to tell you a fact and mention
a few words which offend me. Here ... estranged because Michael Schiavo
has lived with another woman for ten years or so and had two children by
her. Cogito, ergo 'estranged.'
-
- Lehm: Cogito, ergo flatulo in your parlance, *Doctor*.
We'll forget that it's none of your damned business right after we finish
wondering how long you or your best friend would last if the woman you
had married could no longer respond to you because the cognitive portions
of her brain had actually liquefied -- turned to spinal fluid. Besides,
ten years with the same woman in other circumstances and you would likely
want to pin a medal on him for fidelity. It's you who is 'estranged' ,
*Doctor*, from your sensibilities, from your intelligence, and from your
common sense.
-
- Mort: And how about the words which offend me and Terri.
Words such as "vegetative state" and "kept alive by extraordinary
means," etc. Neither is true and yet the liberal media and liberal
judges fail to see the facts in this case. Or at least, fail to recognize
the possibility of foul play.
-
- Lehm: No paucity of crap here, *Doctor*. Dozens of
judges have ruled on this, some of them Bush appointees, I'm sure. The
last one to rule was George W. (not so ironically) Greer and a more sociopathic
mutant of a an intransigent neocon never stalked the Earth in black robes.
Additionally, there is no such thing as a liberal media, *Doctor*. There
is only the "Corporate Media (your favorite kind) ," *liberal*
or *conservative* in turns as it suits the "bottom line". As
to "vegetative state" and "kept alive by extraordinary
means," you are competent to decide neither, Sir, and should stop
banging your fetid gums together as if to intimate that you, in any way,
are.
-
- Mort: Ahah! Another bad word. Liberal. Well, Democrats
have failed to win much in the last few years and it's hard for me to understand
how the party of John Kennedy, the party of the people, the caring party,
has sunk so low as to be the party of Hollywood, Universities and the party
of the courts.
-
- Lehm: Oh... I don't know... could it be because a coven
of new Repugnicans like Bush & Cheney & Rove lied, cheated, and
stole their way into successive terms at the white house?
-
- Mort: See, it's my theory that the reason liberals focus
on the judicial system is because it's one of the very few places where
they can win. Naturally, it is a fine place on which to concentrate. At
least there, with our liberal judicial system, liberals are more or less
guaranteed some measure of success.
-
- Lehm: Now I know, exactly, why it's said that some
theories are the product of an anal pore. Be that as it may, yours will
be effectively plugged, *Doctor*, as the pendulum swung so hard in it's
criminally compassionless direction swings back with ~equal~ ferocity.
Get ready!
-
- Mort: Terri Schiavo is not in a vegetative state. She
is not being kept alive by extraordinary means. She is merely being fed
food and drink. That's it. She is responsive to her surroundings and responsive
to her relatives.
-
- Lehm: Crap! She hasn't left her bed in almost two decades,
defecates in a diaper and can't swallow on her own. The ~vast~ amount
of doctors involved, *Doctor,* doctors, unlike yourself, competent to make
the call, have said such. The only thing keeping that woman alive are
parents who increase her suffering by refusing, selfishly and obstinately,
to let go. Shame on ~them~!
-
- Mort: That Michael Schiavo may have brought harm to
Terri is a possibility. On that basis alone, criminal investigation should
have begun long ago.
-
- Lehm: Odd that it didn't! This seems like one of those
eleventh hour distracter mechanisms you neo-Repugnicans are so famous for.
A little late to throw down this card, *Doctor*. But this is just another
thing you are not competent to comment on.
-
- Mort: If Terri is allowed to die, the repercussions
for the Democrat party, the liberal judicial system, Hollywood and our
University professors and other 'teachers' of the faith of liberalism will
see a reaction the likes of which they cannot in their wildest imaginations,
expect. At least I hope so.
-
- Lehm: I have hopes, too... I hope your fat head implodes
as a result of the vacuum apparently maintained there, the shame that you
are incapable of perceiving for your unfettered sociopathy (real irony
there), and for reaping finally what ~you~ sow. Pop!
-
- Mort: Democrats and liberals are digging their own graves.
When it comes to death, the liberal takes a strong stand. Death of infants.
Death of innocents. Death of the disabled. But when it comes to life, the
RIGHT to life, they fail miserably.
-
- Lehm: ...Like I'd take your word for whether the sun
was up if I was looking at a 24 hour clock... *Doctor*. You're the failure.
A failure of ethics, the failure of the conflicted ideologue, and a failure
to those who've called you friend. Your lot won't win unless it lies,
cheats, and steals, like your President.
-
- Mort: Long live the liberal culture. For as long as
it remains, it shall remind us of what is wrong with our society. Liberalism
in it's most exquisitely evil form.
-
- Lehm: Mort means death... a champion of the scurrilous
like your double deserting dry-drunk president with delusions of grandeur
complicated by an inferiority complex. You ARE the pot calling the kettle
black, *Doctor*.
-
- Mort: Cogito, ergo ...
-
- Lehm: Push a dirty hospice diaper into that officious
hole, *Doctor*. It calls out for it. Verily.
-
- Mort: Addendum...
-
- Lehm: No *Doctor* -- insult on top of injury... that's
what it is.
-
- Mort: It is, perhaps, a bit unusual for someone to write
a comment on his own article, therefore and with Jeff's permission, I would
make this an addendum. And it relates to how this piece was perceived by
those who responded by email. This piece drew 129 email responses. Half
were supportive ... well ... a little less than half. One was extremely
correct in the writer's evaluation. And the rest were more than abusive.
-
- Lehm: Yeah! Put me with ~those~ *Doctor*... you earn
it... and what would you expect given your whining pule, your professional
incompetence, and your senseless willingness to comment on subjects outside
your limited scope, beyond your own capacity, and above your neo-conic
head?
-
- Mort: When one treads on politics and mix in religion
and morality, one is in grave danger of becoming the butt of the insane,
the butt of those who don't give a damn about the feelings and rights of
others.
-
- Lehm: Knowing you as I do, this had me rolling on the
floor laughing even as I wondered why you have a seat on the bus, at all.
Others are asking the same question, as you know. For my money you only
describe what you see in your own funhouse mirror. Who ~are~ you fooling,
*Doctor*? Not me.
-
- Mort: They care only about their own views and close
their minds to the needs of the rest of us who may not share their world
view.
-
- Lehm: ...Not unlike yourself then? I'm only surprised
that the mirror you're looking into doesn't shatter as a result of the
patent hypocrisy.
-
- Mort: It is WE who are anathema to such, not Terri,
not the courts ... we who care. In life, there must be a proper mix of
all which makes up our culture, our own personal culture.
-
- Lehm: Derisive hoots, raspberries and one finger salutes,
*Doctor*.
-
- Mort: What hurts us the most is the fact that in polls
I've read, a greater percentage of people in the nation want to see Terri's
feeding tube removed. That, kind and gentle readers, is the worst possible
scenario.
-
- Lehm: Hundreds of thousands of people in lesser straights
than Ms. Schiavo have their plugs pulled and feeding tubes removed every
day, *Doctor*, when they can't pay your BILL! Where is your compassion
and weepy sentimentalism for THEM, Sir! Their only hope is to become a
political poker chip as this poor woman, abused by the system you champion
and vote for, has. You make me physically ILL, *Doctor*.
-
- Mort: My wife and I know that Terri Schiavo will likely
pass. But we also know that those responsible will pay the ultimate price,
ultimately. And further, that legislation will hopefully be enacted which
will prevent such tragedies from happening again.
-
- Lehm: That's right *Doctor*. Get ~ready~ to pay.
-
- Mort: If we are wrong, then we the people are pretty
much finished in the USA. We've gone down the tubes. This has been my feeling
for quite some time now. And this scenario merely enforces that opinion.
-
- Lehm: Your *opinion* is another product of the aforementioned
anal pore, and I suspect things to improve measurably with ~your~ funeral,
*Doctor*.
-
- Mort: Last, please pray for Terri. But also, please
pray for those without hearts. For those without a connection to their
own souls. For those who beat the drum of atheism. For they need prayers
more than we. It is they, not Terri Schiavo, who are dying of thirst and
hunger.
-
- Lehm: God! I thought I hated Nixon...That's just pure
and unadulterated barnyard flapdoodle further infested by blundering psychopathic
bugs... *Doctor*. This is forgetting that you are not competent to comment
on ethics, soul connection, God, ~or~ Terry Schiavo...
-
- Mort: The man in me hopes they perish. The Christian
in me hopes they change their ways and not merely see the light, but acknowledge
it.
-
- Lehm: Punt before you fumble then step off the field...
You are the white whale, Sir, and "I struggle to the last with thee;
from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath
at thee"! Thanks for the mawkish reminder regarding why you can't
be believed. Feh!
