More Of Those Conservative Moral Values
I just wanted to make sure I was clear about those crystal clear Republican moral standards.
According to conservatives, the parents of Terri Schiavo -- who spent fifteen years ignoring every medical opinion offered to the courts, fighting every court decision, arguing that their legally blind daughter was following their movements with her eyes, arguing that their brain dead daughter was bawling out "I Want to Live" (or at least, "I Waaaaaaaa"), who slandered and libeled their son-in-law by falsely accusing him of spousal abuse, who turned their daughter's case into a nationwide circus, and who implored the governor of Florida to violate the law and personally walk past armed sheriffs to "save" their daughter -- were enduring a personal tragedy and were on solid moral footing for what they did.
These same people now argue that the mother of Casey Sheehan -- who raised an altar boy who became an Eagle Scout who enlisted in the Marines and was killed in the service of this nation -- is a nutjob pursuing a political agenda.
Just had to be sure I understood. Gotta love that devastating conservative moral clarity.
