DEATH WITH DIGNITY

Every so often a buzz phrase raises its head that simply grates on my nerves.

Death with Dignity, the latest battle cry of the liberal elite of the Democratic Party, is one such phrase.

We hear it a multitude of times every day now in connection to the court approved starvation of Terri Schiavo.

The liberal elite would have us to believe that this is what Terri wanted, and that she will simply slip away peacefully into eternity .

The only thing is they are not putting Terri to sleep like you would a rabid dog or a crazed murderer -- with a lethal injection.

They are not even putting her to death with a .357 slug between the eyes like you would a rapist you caught attacking a defenseless child.

No, they are depriving Terri Schiavo of water and food which can have only one result -- death by starvation and dehyrdation.

This is dignity?

Already she is beginning to fail -- vital organs have begun the shutting down process and she is fully awake to feel it happening.

By now her lips are dry and cracked and bleeding. Discolored spots are beginning to appear on her body.

Soon her body will start to swell and bloat and become even more discolored.

She will start gasping for breath, trying to cry out for relief.

And when death finally comes it will be so horrific even my words will be unable to describe it.

I wish it were within my power to take every federal and state judge who has had a chance to stop this murder and hasn't and force them into her room to watch.

And bring their children in also and explain to them this is what their daddy has done.

May God have mercy on the United States of America.
