You may remember Andrea Clark, the woman that the “ethics” committee at St. Luke’s Episcopal Hospital and BCBS wanted to euthanize. I posted about her in Blue Cross Blue Shield – Killing Andrea Clark for Profit? and Great News About Andrea Clark! Sadly, Freedom Watch posted today that Andrea Clarke Has Died. Her sister said,
We wish so much that we could have spent more time at our sister’s side, when she was living and fighting for her life, rather than having to visit our attorney’s office, give interviews to radio and television stations to let the public know of the atrocity about to befall Andrea, and literally stand outside the hospital and beg them not to kill our sister. In attempting to deprive Andrea of the most basic of her human rights–life–St. Luke’s Hospital managed to deprive her family and her of that which is most dear to us all, when we are faced with the death of a loved one: a proper goodbye.
How, in the name of God, anyone can call putting someone to death when they are at their most helpless and begging for their lives “ethical,” we cannot imagine.
Jeff Goldstein at Protein Wisdom has an extended post on the murder of journalist Atwar Bahjat which I posted on in Why We Must Fight. It turns out that the gruesome video is NOT of Atwar Bahjat. It was the murder of a Nepalese man. As far as my post is concerned, nothing has really changed. This was a gruesome, vicious murder that the radical Islamists were proud enough of to film for posterity, and as far as I’m concerned, provides ample reason why they must not be allowed to succeed in their quest for a global caliphate. For anyone who engages in moral equivalence, referring to collateral deaths that our troops avoid to the point of placing themselves at higher risk, to Abu Ghraib, to Gitmo, to any number of real, imagined, or exaggerated offenses by America, I still question not just your patriotism, but your common sense and your humanity.
