"the coward and the voluptuary". "Peace is generally good in itself, but it is never the highest good unless it comes as the handmaid of righteousness; and it becomes a very evil thing if it serves merely as a mask for cowardice and sloth, or as an instrument to further the ends of despotism or anarchy. We despise and abhor the bully, the brawler, the oppressor, whether in private or public life, but we despise no less the coward and the voluptuary. No man is worth calling a man who will not fight rather than submit to infamy or see those that are dear to him suffer wrong. No nation deserves to exist if it permits itself to lose the stern and virile virtues; and this without regard to whether the loss is due to the growth of a heartless and all-absorbing commercialism, to prolonged indulgence in luxury and soft, effortless ease, or to the deification of a warped and twisted sentimentality." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1906 (excerpt from his acceptance speech, upon receiving the Nobel Peace Prize). The sharp contrast between President Theodore Roosevelt's philosophy, and that of Democratic Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton - as well as the other apologists for terror on the left - is striking. T. Roosevelt's "coward and . . . voluptuary" foreshadow Carter, Clinton, and the whole new millennium Democratic Party.

Morales' murder of Terri was heinous in itself. The taking of life was committed by the act of a single man, Morales. He had no right to take a life since he cannot create life. But for a community to collectively act in the taking of a life which it cannot create is preposterous. For those who derive sadistic pleasure in seeing a life being taken, for those who find solace in revenge by way of killing of the perpetrator is symptomatic of a primitive cave man style of living. A society that truly believes in God and submits to the will of God, will submit to the will of God by not taking another life, since it is only God who has the right to take and produce life here on Earth.
