Where is the sanctity of Terri Schiavo's marriage?
Here is another point upon which republican thugs contradict themselves. Over the past year or so, they have talked and talked about "protecting the sanctity of marriage," but when a husband has the legal right by marriage to remove his vegetative wife's feeding tube, republican big government has to step in and interfere between the marital bonds of a man and woman and the decision that they've previously made.

1. The Radical Right talk radio scum/hosts have been
railing against her husband for weeks. According to the self-proclaimed Morality Monitors, Michael Schiavo isn't a fit husband, so they don't believe his rights in all of this are important.

2. Similar to my being an atheist, and therefor not a fit American so
my rights are not important.

Rights are only for people who think the way they do.

3. Exactly. In the eyes of the Radical Right
we are not all "real" Americans. Proof of this lies in the fact that when Bush makes most of his public appearances, the attendees are only people who are on his side. The President of the US is supposed to speak to ALL Americans.

4. Don't you get it yet?
If you don't follow the neocon line, you don't have rights, you can't make any choices for yourself. If you disagree with them, there's no end to the suffering they will make you endure.

Terri Schiavo's wishes are meaningless with the GOP in power, and her husbands' efforts to carry enforce them will be ineffective.
