"...Quitting this class of men, I turn with the warm ardor of a friend to those who have nobly stood, and are yet determined to stand the matter out: I call not upon a few, but upon all: not on this state or that state, but on every state: up and help us; lay your shoulders to the wheel; better have too much force than too little, when so great an object is at stake.
Let it be told to the future world, that in the depth of winter, when nothing but hope and virtue could survive, that the city and the country, alarmed at one common danger, came forth to meet and to repulse it. Say not that thousands are gone, turn out your tens of thousands; throw not the burden of the day upon Providence, but "show your faith by your works," that God may bless you.
It matters not where you live, or what rank of life you hold, the evil or the blessing will reach you all. The far and the near, the home counties and the back, the rich and the poor, will suffer or rejoice alike. The heart that feels not now is dead; the blood of his children will curse his cowardice, who shrinks back at a time when a little might have saved the whole, and made them happy. I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink; but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death.
My own line of reasoning is to myself as straight and clear as a ray of light. Not all the treasures of the world, so far as I believe, could have induced me to support an offensive war, for I think it murder; but if a thief breaks into my house, burns and destroys my property, and kills or threatens to kill me, or those that are in it, and to "bind me in all cases whatsoever" to his absolute will, am I to suffer it? What signifies it to me, whether he who does it is a king or a common man; my countryman or not my countryman; whether it be done by an individual villain, or an army of them?
If we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other. Let them call me rebel and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul by swearing allegiance to one whose character is that of a sottish, stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man.
I conceive likewise a horrid idea in receiving mercy from a being, who at the last day shall be shrieking to the rocks and mountains to cover him, and fleeing with terror from the orphan, the widow, and the slain of America."
GOP donations are down and except for a few standout candidates, put a fork in it.
Thomas Paine was right. "Who's running for cover from the "slain". Greer can't escape his guilty conscience and he cannot repair his image as a judicial despot.
Pinellas County's Republican Party no doubt has lost part of their base because it's full of RINOS who are okay with killing people "like her".
Post 241. I won't mention any names but I can think of Floridians with handlers who need to read Thomas Paine's Crisis No. excerpt from 1776.
"If we reason to the root of things we shall find no difference; neither can any just cause be assigned why we should punish in the one case and pardon in the other. Let them call me rebel and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul by swearing allegiance to one whose character is that of a sottish, stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man."
"sottish, stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish" [the Courts].
If they had were smart, the Republican Party would ex-communicate George Greer. SHOULD READ: "If they were smart, the GOP would ex-communicate George Greer". I HAVE ex-communicated the GOP until they listen to their base.
2003 views milemarker. Good job, 8mmmauser.
Good morning Ping to Terri Dailies June 2005
Thanks for the ping!
I wish I could agree with you more but cannot fully.
We would have the same reaction as you with our own child. In fact we did once, but it was a bit different.
In this case, we watched as poor Mary, Terri's own mother and poor Bob, Terri's father were physically blocked by armed jack booted cops. Behind them were police dogs and after that an area covered by SWAT snipers. They were prepared to block at all costs with even armed guards at Terri's bedside so she could die properly.
It used to be that the Governor and not a tinpot judge was the leader of a State. That is the way our country was set up to be. He had legal options at hand, alas. I really wish he would have taken them.
And, I repeat "THE POLICE LIED" and furthered their role as accomplices. They weren't protecting anyone. They were making sure that Terri would be killed.
Terri wanted to live but the armed officer in the hallway to her room covered up of Terri's attempt to voice her desire to live and said that Atty Weller made it up. The cops lied and Terri died.
Terri knew what the tube coming out meant. She knew full well that she was going to suffer and die. For what? State sponsored judicial homicide courtesy of the State of Florida.
Anyone know if MS has remarried?
I haven't heard if HINO remarried. I doubt it. Maybe the concubine's afraid to take that step. They have so much money, they'll stay together for the money but not to marry.
When Jeb Bush promised IN A SPECIAL PRESS CONFERENCE that he'd go in no matter what but the next day he deferred to George Greer, the plane came back with this.
8mmmauser, so where's Hospice Woodside in this photo? Any idea? Advertising Air Force was one of us. God Bless em.
I was talking with Brother Hilary when the guy came running out of the hospice in a state of almost shock. He came to us, to tell Brother, was breathless in telling us what just happened. He said happily that a cop actually witnessed it so they had good proof it happened. Then he and Brother rushed in to brief Atty. Weller and the others. He was thrilled because he was so sure it was good proof.
Well, not in Pinellas Park. That cop got amnesia real fast-like. The State of Greer doesn't need proof. They have a judge instead.
FV X marks the spot. To the left of the X is Stephanie's shop, above is the Winn-Dixie and the place where the cops ticket cars of people demonstrating.
That X is the spot!!!!!

Thanks. So the death camp is at the large X. Arlene is causing rain today. I'm not afraid... yet. I hope this summer's not like last year. It was one after another heading right this way.
Meanwhile, Arlene is headed this way.
New book re: Firht4Terri by Cheryl Ford, RN and Dr. J. Craddock on my web site www.conservative-spirit.org. (not my book).
Fight4Terri, not what I typed. (I need to clean my glasses).
