There is a reason why my radio show (KFBK 1530 AM) motto has been for many years “It’s not right versus left, its right versus wrong.” And why I defy all attempts to categorize myself as conservative, liberal or something in-between (and why I refuse to unquestioningly swallow party dictates). Indeed, I have been labeled all three, and much more. Some of the more vicious labels have been slung by Republican Party drones who consider my criticism of the Bush Brothers on this issue to be tantamount to an endorsement of Hillary Clinton for Goddess status, at best, or treason at worst and who would, in an earlier generation, qualify for an Iron Cross in a party of a different name.

The consummate moment this week was arch-conservative, pro-life Randall Terry on TV shaking his head in disbelief while exclaiming that “...never in my [his] wildest dreams…:” would he have ever envisioned himself side by side with arch-liberal, pro-choice Jessie Jackson in an eleventh hour attempt to save the life of Terri Schiavo. Yet, if Ms. Schiavo is to be saved it appears that it will be the Reverend Jackson who tipped the scale in the absence of courage from Governor Bush, or conviction to back up a well designed, alas sadly insincere campaign slogan about restoring the “culture of life” spouted by his senior brother at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Ironically both Governor Bush and President Bush have the Constitutional power and authority to act, while the judge acts beyond his own. It seems inconceivable that they would be unaware of their own duties and powers, and President Bush has demonstrated that he is anything but a coward; thus we are left with no choice but to conclude that they have put on nothing more than a political show of faux concern over this poor woman’s fate. Party partisans recoil at such a suggestion and hurl hysterical warnings about the damage done to the party by noting the absence of clothing on the emperor. Yes, the Party above nation, duty, morality and honor. That is a notion that when combined with the precedent being set by the killing of Terri Schiavo eventually adds up to boxcars full of Terri Schiavos, unless a hero emerges to prevent it.

What is chilling is to watch and hear that slavish adherence to party or ideological doctrine being spouted by Republicans and Democrats alike. Partisan demagogs on both sides are measuring this debate, and judging perceived criticism from within their own party in light of the potential effect that it may have on that party’s next election effort, or what advantage it may give them, and lashing out at those who stray from the dogma dictated by that outlandishly destructive position.

Meanwhile; mainstream medical ethicists recite verbatim language from “Permission to destroy life unworthy of life”, written in 1920 by German medical ethicists Karl Binding and Alfred Hoche and which became the foundation of a genocide that changed the face of the world; and the basics of which have now been embraced by the modern day, western medical ethicists who have adopted the language of genocide unchallenged by the pretty TV talking heads who have no grasp of history, the story or the implications and thus ask insipid questions of them about whether or not Terri Schiavo hears the music in her room. Lost in the vapor is that Pinellas County Judge Greer has adopted, and is enforcing the theory of German lawyer and medical ethicist Adolph Jost, who wrote in his 1895 book entitled: "The Right to Death” that "The rights to death are the key to the fitness of life. The state must own death -- must kill -- in order to keep the social organism alive and healthy."

As indicated, today is not the first time the world has seen such a mindless call to obedience to a political doctrine over morality, nor is it the first time the ideas of “mercy” and "it's the law" have been applied as rationale for not acting to stop the killing of the innocent at the hands of government. The last time resulted in boxcars full of innocents, having been declared non-persons devoid of all rights – as has Terri Schiavo (and whose family name is appropriately “Schindler”) – being hauled off to their government mandated ends…. Of course, all in accordance to party dogma, and for her (our) own good mind you.

Republicans had better wise up, and fast…like before Terri goes room temperature… or they will deliver unto the world not only President Hillary Clinton but the next installment of the Final Solution.

I've read this script, don't like the plot, time for a different ending. Mr. Bush...and Mr. Bush, grow some backbones and do your damned jobs. Let's not convert "never again" into "one more round" quite so soon.
