Letter of the Week: A Note from Bobby, Terri Schiavo's Brother

Conservatism, Criminal Injustice, Ethics, Justice, Law, Morality, Natural Law

Dear Ms. Mercer,

I wanted to sincerely thank you for your column regarding my sister Terri.

It seems to me that many of our conservatives brethren began their exodus when the media made it their mission to justify Terri’s death by misreporting the autopsy report, which by the way, was prejudiced in order to avoid any legal ramifications.

I firmly believe that the jaundiced autopsy results have been and are still being erroneously reported by our popular media as a reason to negatively influence the constituents of those politicians that supported my family’s efforts to help my sister. As a result, it seems to me that no one in Washington had/has the courage to make the point that regardless of someone’s condition, intentionally killing an innocent disabled person, guilty of nothing more than becoming an inconvenience, is intolerable.

However, as you pointed out so eloquently in your column, Terri’s condition (or the autopsy results) should have made no difference in the decision to kill my sister, particularly when so much uncertainly existed in regards to her “wishes”. Not to mention Terri’s suspicious collapse.

It truly was unfortunate that many of our “friends” in Congress were duped by the deliberate inaccurate reporting of Terri’s autopsy and went voiceless when Terri’s issue became an election topic. Just as frustrating, however, was many of your media colleagues also went silent when at one time they were very supportive of Terri and our family. Their silence served to exacerbate the horrible injustice that was endured by my sister.

We all need to recognize that what happened to Terri was happening for many years prior to her death and continues everyday across our nation.

Sincerely,
Bobby Schindler

Conservatives in Name Only

Conservatism, Morality, Political Philosophy, Republicans, Sex

“The sexual shenanigans of Mark Foley and their cover-up are less indicative of the collapse of conservatism in the Republican establishment than is the Iraq misadventure.

True, if establishment Republicans had the faintest affinity for conservatism, they’d have rid themselves of a member more at home in the Man/Boy Love Association. But more significantly, they’d quit pouring American blood and treasure down the Iraqi drain.

To follow the dictionary, a conservative is someone who seeks to preserve existing institutions, or to restore traditional ones. It is not that he disdains constructive change; rather, he wants it to grow organically from its cultural and political soil. A real conservative would therefore never graft democratic institutions onto a society in which adversaries have always assassinated—not outpolled—one another…”

The excerpt is from my new WorldNetDaily column, “Conservatives in Name Only.”

The Liberal Worldview: We’re all Just Monkeys

Ethics, Morality, Natural Law

When liberals fought tooth and nail to dehydrate and starve Terry Schiavo for her imperfections, I wrote that “What distinguishes civilized beings from animals, primitive societies, and liberals is that they don’t see nature as an exemplar of all that is fine and good.”

Watch this hateful little video doing the rounds on the Internet. Its narrator—Ernest Cline—has a tinny robotic voice, which you just know is attached to a smug mug with trendy eyewear. He goes through a litany of human achievements and their alleged, attendant evils, and concludes contemptuously: “We’re all just monkeys.”

Note how irrational the liberal philosophy is: This primate (Ernest Cline) can’t tell you logically why he thinks the specimens that designed the microchip and painted the Mona Lisa are no better than monkeys—creatures that have never created anything, live in trees, throw coconuts, and hoot to communicate. There is no rational basis upon which to equate man and monkey. Since the position is irrational, it is also manifestly false. Feelings—not reason—inform this hackneyed and deeply silly narrative (disguised as sophisticated, like all liberal dogma).

Ergo, the reason Cline feels (for he can’t be thinking) that man is merely a glorified ape is because he hates people and civilization and idolizes animals and primitive life.
