The parents of Terri Schiavo/Schindler just made an impassioned appeal to Florida Governor Jeb Bush to save their dying daughter. Mrs. Schiavo was obviously tired and spoke in a restrained manner, but her husband, Robert, although looking terribly fatigued, used very strong language and placed much of the blame for his daughter's seven days of "torture" directly on Jeb Bush, blaming him for the inaction that is letting Terri be murdered by a "tyrannical" judiciary.
Mr.Schindler says that the Governor has the power to end their ordeal with a "stroke of the pen" and if he had courage he would do it.
I know what it meant, oddly enough. Just funnin' ya ;0)
Hey, I don't really care about your opinion. This was posted in response to Sinkspur, who claims to be a Catholic Deacon. It would, or should matter to him. Alas, it probably does not. Sinkspur has made it quite clear that such things as Catholic tradition and Catholic intellectual history mean about as much to him as they do to most of the intellectual know-nothings and moral lepers that have littered this thread with their considered inanities.
Cool! You and I are the same, then! ;0)
I just thought I'd toss it out there anyway, since I could ;0)
"I don't do hysterics. It results in saying things one wishes one had not said."
One would not guess this from reading your posts, deacon.
Yeah, yeah, I know, you all ways take the high-ground. Well, as long as it annoys someone. It seems to me you only post if you know for a fact it will piss people off. Now, nothing wrong with this, I guess. I would just hope that you wouldn't mistake this for rational discourse or original thought. It is just rabble rousing. I think you know this sorry fact about yourself, but I thought someone should point it out just it case. The charitable thing to do, I think.
"Hey, I don't really care about your opinion. "
"Cool! You and I are the same, then! "
Huh? You don't care about your opinion. Well, then why bother the rest of us with it?
I thought you have to live in Florida in order to "support his impeachment."
See, America is a constitutional republic, not a land where religion trumps law. I'm sure that disappoints you, but it's the truth all the same...
Uh, hum, yes, America is a constitutional republic, very good, Chad, you pass the civics course. Nothing else to see here now, move along.
You wouldn't know where the actual brief of David Gibbs is, would you?
I'd really like to read how it is worded. From what Chris said, it sounds horrible. However, after watching all the mis-information coming from the MSM, the past couple of weeks, I'm not sure I believe Chris.
Quiet!
They might find out where it is!
You are absolutely right.
I don't know you, buster. You're also rather new here, as evidenced by your gossipy post #222, in which you mewled about me behind my back without the courtesy of pinging me to the post, which is the accepted practice around here.
Stuff like that annoys me.
You and the others on FR whom you agree with on this issue, are not "the entire country". You need to back away from the computer, and get out more.
And Governor and President Bush should ignore them. Being critical of their failure to utilize their full power and authority is simply that. It does NOT mean we have lost sight of the enemy.
Rush said the Legisaltive and Executive branches constitutionally, under the system of checks and balances have the power and authority to stand up to these Judges. He's RIGHT!!!!
Well, as a Constitutional Republic, we are a nation of laws, not a nation of "Well, we feel that is immoral, and against ourt faith, so we don't have to obey" stuff - We have to work to fix broken laws, not just ignore them and violate them at our leisure.
A parent of a dying child (especially one that has gotten NO sleep, fumes run, and is in the constant world eye,) is so fraught with sadness and worry and wish beyond wish that they could transfer/take away the pain of their dying flesh and blood, that the parent gets consumed with helplessness and worry and pain that the child has such awful thoughts (in this case, eternal damnation,) on his/her mind while going through such agony and the absolute torture of the death process. And this particular death process is WORLDS worse, in that Terri was not dying on her own--her death was extraneously and to some degree, unwittingly brought ON her.
Stuff like that annoys me.
Oh, dear me, my heart is all a flutter. What ever will I do, the DEACON is annoyed.
People who claim to represent the Church, but don't know squat about the Church's teaching annoy me. Now I guess we are even!
Don't misuderstand me, I have already stated that I am FOR J. Bush or GWB to step on POS Greer and save Terri. My post was merely meant to remind folks that we still have to stay united against the common enemy.
Are you one of those SSPXers? You act like one.
Are you one of those SSPXers? You act like one.
No.
Are you a Catholic? You don't act or sound like one!!
I think something must have been misquoted or misunderstood. It certainly is not taught that someone who is killed by starvation by judicial fiat goes to hell. Also I think exhaustion is making Mr. Schindler confused and he may be saying things without fully thinking them through. Also does anyone honestly think that Jeb Bush has not consulted numerous experts on the State's constitution and the powers of the executive? He is strongly prolife and has gone the distance for Terri. Yes the image of him marching out an armed God to the rescue may seem like the ideal solution but he is going to act within the law.
