It's obvious that the martyrdom of Terri Schiavo is a satanic ritual. It's supposed to culminate tomorrow, day Jesus Christ died.
I'm sure many of you also have understood it. Instead of continuing listing the details, I will let you do it yourselves.
"And as an example, to say Jeb Bush hasn't acted in this matter is completely untethered from sound and sober thinking. To advocate sending in troops and the like is insanity."
It's NOT my poll.
It's on FR
Take it up with management.
I have the Wolfson report, the entire thing, in HTML format thanks to another freeper.
Do you want to post it here or anywhere for discussion?
Relevance?
I forgot to mention that that same nutty Freeper also managed to bring in the Nazi lampshade made out of human skin-- all in one post!!
I missed it. I don't even want to know...
eek
Just make sure you're in a sealed bunker, made from heavy layers of flame proof, kevlar material when you do. ;-)
WOW!
I believe you.
You "are" a voice of experience!
I sure hope you're right about
some folks regretting what they've posted.
I've seen ugly, but not like I've seen recently.
"You should be out playing with your rowboat."
LOL!!!
I make history, not play!

I'm being a wimp because it's gotten so comfortable here.
But we're pretty much preaching to the choir and all that misinformation is still going on in the larger FR community.
Should be be venturing forth and disseminating information?
I think there's a lot of merit to what you say.
We of the sanity list decided that we would ignore the poster you addressed as we suspect that person pushed "abuse" and got this thread shut down for a while for a non-existant flame war. I wish that poster would stop spamming the thread with the same posts over and over. :(
If we thought the senate Democrats were fighting hard over judges, we ain't seen nothing yet thanks to this Schiavo case.
If a little baby crawled out into a busy highway and sat in
the middle of the road, I'm quite sure that Governor Bush
would risk a jaywalking ticket to rush into the street and
save the child even if the Don't Walk sign was flashing !!!
Terri is an innocent and helpless child right now. Therefore, she
desperately needs someone to bravely risk arrest for jaywalking
to save her life from that evil mob of monsters who are blatantly
attempting to murder her ... in plain view of the entire world !!!
Jaywalk NOW Jeb !!!
Dammit... Jaywalk NOW !!!
My aunt had one leg amputated and within a week they amputated the other one. It was horrendous. She lost all will to live after the first amputation, and refused to eat from that point on.
It is not at all clear what the position of the Church is on this matter:
Second, we should not assume that all or most decisions to withhold or withdraw medically assisted nutrition and hydration are attempts to cause death. To be sure, any patient will die if all nutrition and hydration are withheld.[12] But sometimes other causes are at work -- for example, the patient may be imminently dying, whether feeding takes place or not, from an already existing terminal condition. At other times, although the shortening of the patient's life is one foreseeable result of an omission, the real purpose of the omission was to relieve the patient of a particular procedure that was of limited usefulness to the patient or unreasonably burdensome for the patient and the patient's family or caregivers. This kind of decision should not be equated with a decision to kill or with suicide.
Out of respect for the dignity of the human person, we are obliged to preserve our own lives, and help others preserve theirs, by the use of means that have a reasonable hope of sustaining life without imposing unreasonable burdens on those we seek to help, that is, on the patient and his or her family and community.
Our tradition does not demand heroic measures in fulfilling the obligation to sustain life. A person may legitimately refuse even procedures that effectively prolong life, if he or she believes they would impose excessively grave burdens on himself or herself, or on his or her family and community. Catholic theologians have traditionally viewed medical treatment as excessively burdensome if it is "too painful, too damaging to the patient's bodily self and functioning, too psychologically repugnant to the patient, too restrictive of the patient's liberty and preferred activities, too suppressive of the patient's mental life, or too expensive."
And this is the one I'm sure the Church relied on in this case:
Second, our tradition recognizes that when treatment decisions are made, "account will have to be taken of the reasonable wishes of the patient and the patient's family, as also of the advice of the doctors who are specially competent in the matter."
The Church's position on this is very lengthy and complex and it does not do their position justice to merely state they are opposed to death by dehydration. There are numerous instances, included excessive financial burden, where the Church says this is okay.
Great post!
You're right, Wolfstar.
The faces of Randall Terry is going to make the left even MORE determined to forbid the president to get any judges placed on the bench. Unintended consequences and all that.
