Screwed Up Priorities

We have a huge problem in this country. Yesterday, a registered sex offender, John Couey, admitted to killing the missing Florida girl, Jessica Lunsford. While all the details weren't released, we can assume she was raped prior to her murder.

Yesterday, an innocent woman, whose husband wants to see her dead, was given a death sentence. A Florida judge ordered the removal of her feeding tube. As a process of that judgement she is also suffering the additional sentence of torture by being slowly starved to death. A barbaric torture reminiscent of Auschwitz. Had starvation been used as a tactic at the Abu Gareb prison we would have never heard the end of it from the left in this country. Yet the left finds this woman's torture and impending death justified.

Today, John Couey sits in a prison surrounded by guards to prevent him from taking his own life. This protection is to make sure that this child rapist murderer has none of his civil rights violated and has recourse to the legal system. It doesn't seem to matter to the left that Terri Schiavo has never had recourse to the legal system. It doesn't seem to matter to them that she never had a lawyer to represent her interest. It doesn't seem to matter to the left that her husband has no written proof that pulling the plug was what his wife wished. To quote the radio talk show host, Bob Grant, "If it ain't in writing, it ain't." Hearsay testimony from her husband, which would have been deemed inadmissable in any criminal or civil court in the country, is used as a tool to prevent her right to due process.

Yet the left in this country will trample all over the rights of this woman and fight for the rights of a man who prays on the most innocent victims of our society. A man so emboldened he entered a home in the middle of the night to fulfill his evil ends.
It doesn't seem to matter that by not protecting Terri Shiavo's rights all our rights are violated. It doesn't seem to matter that anyone could become a victim, as Terri is, on the say so of someone with questionable motives.

Even though Couey admitted that he killed Jessica, the liberal media refuses to use the term admitted and continues to use the term alleged. Just as they use the term alleged for the courthouse rampage killer, Brian Nichols,. It's doesn't seem to matter to them that dozens of people witnessed Brian Nichols murdering his victims. It doesn't seem to matter that Couey admitted his crime and even showed the police where he disposed of Jessica's body. They will continue to use a term they think will save a criminal's life, yet not hesitate to condemn an innocent woman to death. This is absolutely ludicrous. As I am writing this I am listening to the news and I can't believe my ears. A bleeding heart lawyer is already calling the child rapist murderer, Couey, a victim. It seems the insanity has already started.

Yesterday, when the reporter, Shepard Smith of Fox News, ended his broadcast, he made a Freudian slip, and said "the war on children," when he meant to say "the war on terror." He quickly corrected himself, though he was right the first time. There is a war on children in this country and something drastic has to be done to stop it. Crime is out of control in this country and too often children are it's victims.

Pedophiles can't be rehabilitated. The high recidivism rate is proof that pedophiles can't be rehabilitated. They have to be incarcerated for life or permanently eliminated. End of report! How many more children are going to have to die before something is done to stop these monsters once and for all? How long is it going to take for the left to get their priorities straight?
