A Time Of Visitation

Last night at Hardball with Chris Matthews, Pat Buchanan expressed a sentiment that I wrote about yesterday. He believes that Michael Schiavo and Judge Greer have conspired to kill Terri. He strongly believes that either the president, George Bush, or the governor of Florida, Jeb Bush, should step in and uphold the Constitution of the United States of America and take into custody this woman who is being starved to death before the whole world. In this showcase of democracy, the land of the free and the home of the brave, this atrocity reminiscent of Hitler’s Nazi regime is going on unabated.

The time of visitation has come, and the leaders have been caught unprepared. They are caught up in the inertia of government, by the icy grip of Pragmatism. Meanwhile, Michael Schiavo's and Judge Greer’s cries echo throughout the republic, “DEATH TO TERRI!”
