Bush to return to Social Security, Mideast after Schiavo case
Washington Times ^ | Tuesday, March 29, 2005 | By Bill Sammon

THE WASHINGTON TIMES

President Bush, back at the White House after an Easter break at his Texas ranch, is planning to plunge into his agenda this week by pushing to reform Social Security and the Middle East. Mr. Bush will begin with foreign policy, delivering a Rose Garden speech today on freedom and democracy. The president does not want to lose momentum in the Middle East, which has shown signs of democratization in recent weeks. Tomorrow, Mr. Bush shifts to domestic policy by calling for Social Security reform during a trip to a community college in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Then, he and first lady Laura Bush will discuss the dangers of gangs during a visit to a junior high school in the District on Friday. But all of these events could be overshadowed by political fallout from the case of Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged Florida woman whose feeding tube was removed last week in a bitter family dispute. Mr. Bush and his brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, have come under fire from advocates on both sides of the debate.

"After the Schiavo case"??
Meaning, "When she's dead"?

I think somebody better clue the White House in that "after the Schiavo case" may not be for a long, long time. The Schiavo case will haunt this nation loooong after Terri's court-ordered murder is completed.

I would say "court reform" better be at the top of the President's agenda.

This is that "can't we move on?" selfishness very typical of Americans. Human life is completely disposable when it comes to moving on to more "important" stuff like budget problems.

"The Schiavo case will haunt this nation loooong after Terri's court-ordered murder is completed."

We'll see...

If doctors do an autopsy and it is confirmed that her cerebral cortex is gone how will you react? Will that change anything for you? I'm not saying this is or isn't the case, I'm just curious how people would react if an autopsy confirmed that she was indeed PVS.

The only way that will happen is if the Doc is on the take, just like Greer, Felos, etc. She has her brain intact. Felos and MSM did a great job of brainwashing people. Just not good enough to affect me.

"She has her brain intact."

Is that true? I saw a catscan of her brain and it looked there was quite a bit missing. If this catscan is legitimate then I think "intact" is a large exaggeration. Here is the catscan I am referring to:

Regardless of the diagnosis of PVS the fact that she was allowed to be abused to the point of torture for so many years,all to culminate in an excruciating execution should be plenty for people to keep this issue front and center, starting with the organizations for the disabled, the ALzheimer's Society,the MS Society, the Lou Gehrigs Society,etc.

AGREED. No matter what, she is a human being. She was abused and no matter what idiot shows an xray or cat scan LIKE THE PERSON SHOWING AN XRAY on this forum who doesn't have a clue what the hell he is talking about.. Her brain is intact, she is disabled, and she is still alive and responding .

Ok, educate me. I am more than happy to try to learn. Has this catscan been proven to be a fake? If not, then what are we to make of the large dark region in the center of the brain? What are we to make of the darks regions between the apparently loose folds of the brain? Is this the image of an intact brain? I am not an expert but my commonsense says it is not. I'd be happy to consider your perspective if you can offer it without the insults.

I am not an expert either. What I do know is you can educate yourself by researching. Michael Schiavo and his lawyer have done their very best to make people think she is pvs, comatose, brain dead. None of that is true. She is brain damaged and neglected No stimuli. Mikey was a GREAT husband...NOT!!!That is a fake xray that Felos put out on Larry King to try to make Terri look like she is different then what she really is. She wasn't terminally ill, but she is now. I am really tired of people coming on Terri threads and believing what her murderer husband and his lawyer says. He tried to kill her, he failed, but he is doing it now.

Ok, what evidence is there to show that the catscan is fake. If he went on Larry King with a fake catscan claiming it to be Terri's that would certainly be very damning. How do you know it's a fake?

Go to Terrisfight.org. I am too tired to do your research for you. Everything is there. I don't mean to be rude, but I have been looking up stuff about Terri for the past 4 years and would appreciate it alot if you would just look it up yourself.

Guys - it doesn't matter about the catscan. How much brain she has proves nothing. She recognises her mother. She has the cognition and insight of a child. Why should she be starved to death?

Right, and the way the two Bushes (and Congress) handled this evil event will mark them forever. And it should.

Nah, that's a liberal brain on the left.... I think that's either Karla Marx Pelosi's or Barbara Boxer's (who combs her hair with a firecracker).

I don't care if she was PVS or not, she was brain damaged, not brain dead! She was not terminal! So does that mean all people who are brain damaged deserve to be starved to death? NO! She is being killed no matter PVS or not!

1. The Bush solution to Social Security: Kill everyone at the age of 75, if not sooner. Claim "It's the law" and "I was just following orders."

2. There's no need for "court reform," except that murdering judges need to be impeached and investigated. The REAL reform needed is EXECUTIVES who understand the Constitution, and are not murderers. Currently we don't have those.

It won't change a thing, because it still remains true that Judge Greer was and is a euthanasia activist, and was legally required to recuse himself when the Schindlers petitioned that he do so on account of bias. He has broken the law at least forty times during this entire process.
