As the top news story of 2005 Rob Hood nominates the Terry Schaivo execution by judicial decree, a case that embodied several features of the liberal-Progressive mindset.
-------------------
Secular materialism goes under many names, among them ethical humanism, liberalism, Progressivism, and socialism. No matter what the name, one consistent feature is the belief that there is no reality beyond the tangible and observable material things of the here and now.
This leads secular materialists to the illusion that their minds control everything, that there is no such thing as a Divinely-determined human nature, and that all of our institutions therefore are creations of the human mind. It is this illusion of control that leads secular materialists to the idea of “choice.”
As one liberal-Progressive website puts it, “Ultimately, euthanasia is a question of choice: empowering people to have control over their own bodies.” That, of course, is precisely the language employed to justify abortion, murder of infants without judicial due process.
Euthanasia, however, is not the proper term for the painful and attenuated death imposed upon Terry Schaivo by starvation and deprivation of fluids. Euthanasia means a painless death. Terry Schaivo’s death was the equivalent of being flogged to death over several days of agony.
Rob Hood, whose blog is Stand For Truth explains why he regards Mrs. Schaivo’s judicial execution as the most important story of the past year.

Terri Schiavo - The Most Unforgettable News Story of 2005
By Rob Hood
I thought long and hard about the events that took place over the course of 2005. There were some very good things that happened this year and some very tragic ones as well. Among the top stories covered this year was the war in Iraq, the Michael Jackson trial, Louis Farrakhan’s million man March as covered by the mainstream media, and other stories as well that centered on the White House suspected scandals that either lead to or may lead to indictments.
I nominated the Terri Schiavo case as the most unforgettable story of the year. While talk radio hosts like Bill Bennett, Sean Hannity, and others gave this story full coverage for almost two weeks, the mainstream media took very little notice at all. Sure they reported on it but only for about five to ten minutes at the end of the regularly scheduled newscast. They treated it like it was nothing.
This was a case that deserved further investigation and surely should have required the judge involved to be fired from his position on the bench and let the feds intervene on an unsolved case. This judge was clearly involved if not partly responsible for the death of Terri Schiavo. He would not even let the case be re-investigated. He would not even open his mind to the idea. What kind of sick judge was this? I heard he was even banned from his church in Florida which was good enough for him. He should have been banned from the judicial bench altogether.
This was a plain and simple case of murder. Terri Schiavo knew everything that was going on and could not express it into words because her husband refused to let her go through physical therapy and the hospital was just as responsible. Just take a look at the testimony from different nurses who would take care of her. They knew the situation and were threatened if they went forward with their testimony. That in itself is something the administration should have been fired and imprisoned over. How do we who supported the Schiavo family find the defendants (murderers)? GUILTY with a capital G! They got away with murder plain and simple. Why Governor Jeb Bush did not authorize deadly force from National Guard troops to intervene I will never know. He certainly had the authority and most certainly had the capability, the support, and the reason for doing so. Some may think that this would have been a drastic measure but what else can be done when the judge, the hospital, and the rest of leftist America is shouting death to Terri like they are an American version of HAMAS? The only logical thing to do is take the bull by the horns and get the job done by any means that it takes to do it.
This was indeed the most unforgettable story of 2005 and I have vowed to bring it up on March 30 of every year until the day I die to commemorate a great and innocent American life that was taken for selfish and silly if not evil reasons. God bless the Schiavo family and may they find peace from their loss.
