Conundrum... or oxymorn?

Thomas Sowell weighs in on the illegitimacy of so-called "Liberal" agitation in the Terri Schiavo case Thomas Sowell rightly pegs the disconnect between recent so-called "Liberals'" arguments for the murder of terri Schiavo: The fervor of those who want to save Terri Schiavo's life is understandable and should be respected, even by those who disagree. What is harder to understand is the fervor and even venom of those liberals who have gone ballistic -- ostensibly over state's rights, over the Constitutional separation of powers, and even over the sanctity of family decisions. These are not things that liberals have any track record of caring about. Is what really bothers them the idea of the sanctity of life and what that implies for their abortion issue? Or do they hate any challenge to the supremacy of judges -- on which the whole liberal agenda depends -- a supremacy that the Constitution never gave the judiciary? I suspect the reasons Sowell pegs are but two of (too) many. The disconnect of so-called "Liberals" (who apparently have not once ounce of liberal blood in their cold dead hearts) who agitate on the one hand to spare the lives of cold-blooded killers yet rail that a man who has deserted his wife must be allowed to torture her to death simply because she is profoundly disabled is simply beyond reason. If ever there was a clearly definable characteristic of children of Satan is must be this: the blood thirst for innocent life and the protection of monsters who cold-bloodedly take innocent (to the degree that anyone is innocent *heh*) life. "Liberals"? Children of Moloch, rather. ("Moloch [the sun god of the Caananites] was represented as a huge bronze statue with the head of a bull. The statue was hollow, and inside there burned a fire which colored the Moloch a glowing red. Children were placed on the hands of the statue. Through an ingenious system the hands were raised to the mouth (as if Moloch were eating) and the children fell into the fire where they were consumed by the flames. The people gathered before the Moloch were dancing on the sounds of flutes and tambourines to drown out the screams of the victims." * The victims were typically children. That's right: the helpless, the powerless, those dependant upon the protection of their parents were sacrificed... by their parents. Burned alive. At least it was faster than starvation and dehydration. Sounds kinda like a "husband" and judge now in the news... )
