The other Freepers scoff at my suggestions that it is the protesters who have the greatest power in this Schiavo matter, but look how the NYT is treating this. They obviously think that the protesters are the big story. Of course, this article was written to denigrate their efforts, which is all the more proof that it is the protesters who are the biggest concern of the liberal establishment. Don't assume that the people can't do anything about this. The ballot box is not your only recourse.

Yep. Liberals think if she's finished off, public interest in the pro-life cause will be dealt a devastating set-back. They can't understand people fighting for a lost cause. I think it was Jimmy Stewart's character, in "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington," who said it best: Lost causes are ALWAYS worth fighting for."

This is the first I have heard of the Not Dead Yet, but I am qualified for membership and glad to know that they are there.

"One of the women, Sunsara Taylor, a spokeswoman for the Revolutionary Communist Youth Brigade, said she and her colleague, Debra Sweet, an abortion rights activist, intended to spend two days at the site, to make sure "the other side" is heard... Ms. Sweet said she recognized several people from protests outside abortion clinics around the country. "This is their whole life," she said."

What a rip. So this communist activist recognizes someone from the prolife side and says scornfully, That's their whole life?

So what was she doing at abortion clinic protests? Maybe her whole life is agitating for death - and communism.

Michael Schiavo has said Terri was bulimic.

Bulimia is a mental illness.

Was Terri of "sound mind" at the time she allegedly said, "No tubes for me"?

People have to be "of sound mind" to write a will.

"Of course, this article was written to denigrate their efforts,"

I don't know, the article seem pretty even-handed to me. Other than the four loud men, it doesn't feature some of the more angry or bizarre people I've read about elsewhere.

This morning Matt Lauer was on (it was a bit after 7:00am, before I had switched the channel to FOX)and interviewing some ass named Savidge about the Schiavo murder-in-progress. And this ass named Savidge actually said that the ass named Mike Schiavo had insisted all along that Terri Schiavo had wanted to be euthanized. Is this true? I thought I had read that immediately following the accident, and before the ass named Mike Schiavo could collect on the malpractice money, he said NOTHING about euthanizing Terri. Am I wrong on this?

I wonder why the Bushes feel that they have to be our leaders when they can't stand up and do the right thing.

They are letting an American citizen be starved to death and they are too weak to even try to help her.

The Bushes are rich people and do not need the money so why do they want to be our leaders when they are so weak?

The lesson in all this is not to trust your fate to the legal system, medical system, political system -- and certainly not the media, if one wants a rational outcome. It means a need for greater self-sufficiency and self-reliance, which begins of course, by making better discriminations and decisions.

Generally, it is not a good idea to marry the first and only person one ever dates. And then when the marriage goes bad, it's not a waste of the years put into it, to get out of it, at whatever cost, or it could cost you your life. There are no guarantees of a happy outcome -- no matter what the demagogues promise. We all take our best shot and make the best from what we know.

Let her will to live, inspire us to make the most of our own lives.

Ms. Sweet said she recognized several people from protests outside abortion clinics around the country. "This is their whole life," she said.

And what does it say about Ms. Sweets life that she was also at the abortion clinics?

""I cannot violate a court order," the governor said on CNN. "I don't have powers from the United States Constitution, or, for that matter, from the Florida Constitution, that would allow me to intervene after a decision has been made."

With all due respect Mr. Governor, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by intervening in this appalling and shameful FLORIDA decision to murder an innocent woman by starvation.

Can someone please explain to me signs with like these:

"Barbara Bush, are you happy with your two sons now??"

"Jeb Bush = (swastika)"

Look, I can understand people feeling compelled to do what they are doing and I support their right to do it. But are these people Republicans or just fanatics? I just don't like the party being associated with signs like that.
