The Grim Reaper Is Coming To A Town Near You
Although The New York Times fails to inform the reader of the carnage inflicted on Israel, although having no reservation in giving a daily update of the similar havoc on Lebanon, they also have no problem with informing the world of the most recent spokesperson for the left wing branch of the Democrat party. The spokesperson is none other than Michael Schiavo, former husband of Terri Schiavo and the famous Florida case that became a national outcry in defending life. In fact Schiavo’s new image as a political mover and shaker was featured on The Times’ front page.
Many of you will remember Terri Schiavo sat over a decade in a vegetative state, while her husband Michael and her parents Robert and Mary Schindler, who desired to care for her, battled it out in Florida courts. Michael Schiavo maintained the stance that as last of kin he should be able to make the decision to turn off her feeding tube and cause her death. He also made the unfounded claim that if Terri was ever to become incapacitated that it would be her wishes to terminate her life. That in itself is a profound statement from a then 26 year old woman. In October 2003 Florida Governor JEB Bush signed what would become known as Terri’s Law in order to prevent the permanent removal of her feeding tube. This law was eventually overturned by Florida’s Second District Court of Appeals. In no surprise to your author a portion of Schiavo’s legal team was comprised of ACLU attorneys. The US Senate in a controversial move passed what would become known as The Palm Sunday Compromise in order to delay the Florida Court’s ruling. The law would have transferred Schiavo’s case to the federal level. Following The Supreme Court’s overturning the law, Schiavo’s feeding tube was removed and she passed on March 31, 2005.
What was alarming to your author was the passion to fulfill Michael Schiavo’s wishes that was displayed by certain members of Congress. Florida Senator Bill Nelson, a Democrat, refused to support the federal bill. Florida US Congresswoman from Florida, Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz, lit into a fiery defense of not supporting The Compromise. Many other freshmen Democrats also displayed the same intensity for the cameras. Another moment that was a cause for concern was Michael Schiavo’s tenacity to see his wife’s life terminated. Michael Schiavo even received offers of over $1million USD to stop his attempts and refused. While this in itself was heralded that he genuinely cared for his wife’s quality of life, what would one expect him to do? If he had ended his stance or changed his decision he would have been seen as attempting to profit from this event. In other words once he stated his desires for her to die there was no turning back. It should also be noted that his love for his wife and the goal of euthanasia obviously did not impede on his personal life as he took up a common law wife and had several children by her. The couple met in 1995 and have since officially married.
Just when you think Michael Schiavo would go away, he is back and has taken up a predictable drumbeat. He appears to be the newest representative for the far left in this country, falling inline with the likes of Cindy Sheehan and others. In December 2005 Schiavo jumpstarted TerriPAC, a Political Action Committee and as of this date has raised $25,000 USD. He supported Ned Lamont’s thin victory for the Democrat Primary in Connecticut over incumbent Joe Lieberman who had supported the previous federal attempt as it related to Terri Schiavo. Michael Schiavo has since hand delivered a critical letter to Republican Congresswoman Marilyn Musgrave of Colorado who supported the federal law. Musgrave’s opponent Democrat Angie Paccione was quoted saying, “He (Schiavo) is the human face of government intrusion. We need more individual citizens like him to step up and put an end to it. People trust somebody who looks like them, talks like them and has their experience.” This would all be well and good if it was not centered on a human life and her parents’ desire to care for her, thus relieving Michael Schiavo who by all appearance had gone with his life. Would you trust Michael Schiavo? Your author believes that every time a Democrat opposes a tax cut and supports items such as the death tax that these are intrusions on his life. Additionally Florida Democrat Representative Jim Davis, who is currently seeking the seat of that state’s governorship, has been parading around a letter through a distribution campaign that is an endorsement by Schiavo. Davis supported Schiavo’s successful attempt to end his wife’s life.
The only thing your author is able to ascertain from Schiavo and his PAC is that the Democrat Party is becoming ever increasingly desperate for anyone they can extract national support from. The Party is quickly falling out of the mainstream and the big US media machine will have an increasingly difficult time explaining the party’s objective. The far left that is visibly represented or at least exemplified by DNC head Howard Dean, has already proclaimed they control the Democrat Party. If anything similar chaos that surrounded the Lieberman-Lamont nomination battle will become a consistent theme.
Just as Cindy Sheehan took her son’s death in the Iraq War to mean a battle cry against conservatives so has Schiavo. Sheehan’s son Casey, it should be noted, voluntarily joined the Armed Forces and reenlisted knowing full well he would be sent to Iraq. In fact on the day of his death he was a volunteer for the US Army’s Quick Reaction Force, whose sole purpose was to rescue stranded troops. At the very least Casey Sheehan should be remember for his bravery and commitment, a celebration of his life and not used as fodder by the fringe element. In both tragic incidences Schiavo and Sheehan have formed a new identity. When it comes to Schiavo he is celebrating his wife’s death while veiling it with the argument against government intrusion.
As the Democrat Party, who your author often refers to as Demo-Wimps due to their lack of having teeth behind anything of substance, embraces more and more of the far left fringe elements it is important for the reader to note just what this faction represents. If led to their own devices they would create an anarchic society, which they would refer to as a utopia, with no boundaries or common universal moral code because moral relativism rules the day and the importance of theory overrides actual results. It is a land where life is not valued by many of them as evidenced by their emotionally charged support for such things as partial birth abortion and quick draw euthanasia. Where pro-action is not the norm and desperate reaction to failures is commonplace. It is a society that your author wishes not to be considered a member.
