   That video did not make me particularly happy.

   Let me be clear: this Strickland guy should get the death penalty. He purposely injured a child to the point of death. The life she would have lead had that not happened is a world away from the life she will live now.

   No, I’m not a liberal troll. Yes, I’m mushy on this issue because of personal experiences. But I don’t think this girl’s present state is a thing to be celebrated, and I’m not sure if it were my daughter, and if I had the gift of precognition to know that she would be in this state years later, that I would be so quick to insist she be kept alive. Yes, I’m sure you’re offended by that. Ah well.

   I have never understood how divorced mothers can trust their children with a man who is not their father. I hold Haliegh’s mom culpable, as well as the despicable step-father!

   The left always thinks they know whose lives are worth living and whose aren’t.

   What a beautiful little girl. Her life has purpose and meaning.

   I can’t imagine anyone viewing that video without emotion.

   LGM, come on – please don’t bring negativity to this story. It’s too sad and disturbing. Feel good for this little girl. She survived what would have taken out some grown men -

   I am still wondering why Michelle has allowed this chode to remain here. He has proven to be nothing but a trouble maker and has absolutely NOTHING EVER to contribute to the conversations going on at any given time. I would never be so bold as to think to tell Mishelle what to do, but this guy wore out his welcome long ago and has no reason to remain here, period.

   As a man who is facing this right now, against everything I believe in, I can tell you that nothing in the world fills me with more dread and fear than this. I personal do not trust any man with my daughters, let alone someone who they may potentially be living with. I do not know of anything that could ever make me feel differently. the situation…at least in my case…should not even be occurring to begin with. But then, it all goes back to how people have made divorce and such things socially acceptable and even “trendy” along with infidelity. (See shows like “Desperate housewives” for a reference)

   Fortunately for me, I have my daughters at least 95% of the time. It is the other 5% that keeps me awake.

   Playblu: I hear and think I understand what you’re saying. Her present state is not wonderful, by any means. But, we must, MUST trust God to determine what will happen to her. Some want so bad to “play God”, but we musn’t. This is a trust issue for me. So, no I’m not offended by what you posted. It is so difficult to understand God’s perfect will for our lives. I am praying for you as of now since you mentioned you had personal experience with this.

   Every time Michelle puts up something about Haleigh Poutre, I email it to my mom with a “Kleenex Alert.” Such a remarkable girl who’s been put through so much.

   ……er…..I think I stated earlier that liberals love to wade in misery…instead of the other way around…to enjoy life and stand for it. They cannot logically nor rationally have a conversation. They are living oxymorons…”thinking liberals”…..does not compute.

    There are indeed some people beyond Heroic.

    the state of Massachusetts wanted to remove from life support

    Massachusetts does worship the Death Cult-except when it comes to murders–Massachusetts considers them Apostles of the Death Cult.
    God Bless Haleigh Poutre and the caregivers who did such yeoman like work.

    That’s one tough kid. Let’s hope she continues to astound – both for her sake, and I think it’s good for doctors to be reminded of just how little they know.

    I cried when Michelle first reported on Haleigh, and not to be trite, but this reminds me of the Dropkick Murphys song “The State of Massachusetts”. The state would just rather have you die or have the problem “disappear” than address what’s wrong and potentially save someone’s life. Every time I listen to that song, now, it will be a tribute to Haleigh Poutre.

    Wrong.

    At what point would you like to starve and dehydrate them? Extended coma? Partial paralysis? A particularly bad case of flu?

    Hey playblu,

    Too bad you didn’t get to Rick Hoyt before he grew up, huh? You could have put him out of his misery, unlike what his dad did for him.
