I have never been so proud of my Party as I am now. The Respect-life Party has gone to the ends for Terri Schiavo and there is no doubt as to where we stand. Sure there are some Rinoes who have stood with the Dinosaurs for Death, but the leaders of our Party have stood in the Breech for Life. We may lose the battle in Terri’s case, God Rest her Soul, but we have fought the War. There has never been a more transparent difference between the two Parties. The Leaders of our Party has ignored the Stone Age Press, an Out of Control Judiciary and Polls to stand by their Principles.
The Dinosaurs have to pretend that every issue has 82 shades of Grey including life and death. That is why they have to change the name of death to Vegetable, Brain dead, Fetus, Weed, Unwanted and the list goes on and on. The last thing they want Terri to be called is a human being or someone’s child, because that will make people think of this issue as killing. These people cry when their houseplant dies of not watering, yet they are perfectly happy to argue the value of killing a person of thirst or sucking a baby out of a mother. You cannot paint your shades of Grey when something is as simple as Life or Death. They have to use greys to hide their absence of values or core beliefs.
The DimRat Party has gone from the Happy Days in the 60's and 70's of Camelot and has followed the Bloody Road of Abortion to the modern days of Crash-a-lot. This is a dark day in America as we await the death of another innocent victim being sacrificed to their god of humanism. Any means justifies any ends when you color different shades of grey. It was ok to kill the Royal family of Russia to bring about Communism. The same for China, Vietnam, Cuba and Cambodia. It is ok to kill a baby as long as you are protecting the mother’s freedom to “choose.” In their warped view the very thing that makes women superior to men is what is holding them back, childbirth. It is fine to disgrace the office of President and the Country as long as he’s vetoing abortion bans. You can even throw a boy back to a brutal dictator after his mother drowned escaping, if you have enough paint. In their world any immoral act can be justified if it furthers their agenda.
The long march to amorality has brought us to the murder of a perfectly healthy woman to appease the god of assisted suicide. How much more Godless can we go?? Jesus said, how you treat the least of these is how you treat me. How appropriate that on the day of his crucifixion we are killing the least of us.
There could not be a more black and white case in America than the Schiavo case. If you have two people disagreeing on an issue you have to give them both some weight to their story. Even if Judge Greer Reaper assumes the husband is telling the truth, yet there is a 10% chance he is not; you have to err on the side of keeping Terri alive. This is a simple Black and White or in this case life or death. You always give every indifference to life because life is precious, even a vegetable’s, which she is not.
Our leaders in Congress, Gov Bush and President Bush have done everything they can do within the law. They cannot send in the troopers like Bull Reno and start a civil war between police. They have sworn a declaration to uphold the Constitution and it’s laws. We are not Democrats who will use any means, including force to forward an agenda. How anyone could predict that the steps that we have taken would be snubbed and they would not review this case is why we need moral judges. Her death for an agenda is going to forever stain our Country, laid at the feet of the Party of Death. They and the Libertarians have pushed for this death for the last 2 years and now they can enjoy their “victory.” This is one major reason many Americans could never belong to those Parties, for their immorality and amorality towards life.
We have done all we can for Terri and for that we should be proud of our leadership. They as we are having our hearts broken during this deep dark Easter celebration. God is in control and perhaps he needed America to have a lamp unto it’s feet to get back on the narrow path. Perhaps he needed to expose evil for evil and what you get when you turn your back to God. None of this exposure would have happened if Jeb and GW were not in power, although in the end they were powerless to stop this senseless killing. The Judicial Branch has no heart and has no humanity, only empty briefs. For that, a little girl in Florida is going to pay the final price while her Mom and Dad cry helplessly. We can only Pray for Terri, her Family and this once great Country. We can Pray that Jesus will Heal Her and Welcome Her with Open Arms into his Glory. Amen.
Pray for W and Terri’s Family
Pray for W and Terri's Family

Blossom falls to bloom
This season
Promise not to stare
Too long
For this is not a miracle
There was a time
A storm that blew so pure
For this could be the biggest sky
And I could have
The faintest idea
Snowman melting
From the inside
Falcon spirals
to the ground
So bloody red
Tomorrows clouds
A little piece of you
The little piece in me
Will die
For this is not america

If there were impeachment and contempt of Congress charges being drafted against Judge Whittemore at this moment for his failure to perform a de novo review, or action by the executive branch to intercede in the case following this judge's failure to uphold the law, I might agree with you. But I suspect that there will be no significant change in the way the GOP has been operating up until now, and even the 'Nuclear Option,' which would seem to be more in demand than ever before, will not be used.
You are so wrong! I so disgusted with our Party... I am ashamed of our leaders... they can't save a girl from a state judge... we are all in trouble...
If they truly wanted to save her they could!
But they only pretend to stand for life... I am sick of our Party!
I agree with much of this article and it is dead on. The left can always find an excuse for the extermination of human life. Always.
Now listen carefully to the howls of glee from the left as they immediately try to exert a price on the Republicans for fighting for human dignity and Terri's life.
We must meet them in the streets, we must meet them at the polls and we must meet them in the battle for the hearts and minds of all decent Americans.
We must remember this day and find a symbol to recognize it and proclaim our public disagreement with it. I know someone will advise the Schiavo family to do so and I eagerly await to follow that call.
Ribbons, pictures, protest at federal courts, whatever it takes.
This has gone to far and the humanists and their leftists allies must be stopped at the gate. They may kill some but the battle has not yet been won.

This is a clash of world views and if there is any benefit to come from it, one will be to make bare the nature, orientation and agendas of people who have appointed themselves as "caring" for the rights of others. It should be more obvious than ever that the left makes these claims not on the basis of timeless principles, but as a means to other ends, that being power.
An example of this came to my inbox yesterday in the "Weekly Feminist News Digest", published by the "Feminist Majority Foundation", devoted to advancing the wellbeing of women. Not a single mention of Terri, but you can see what really conserns them:

We will see now if America truly wakes up, or if the United States is in a persistent vegetative state.
Was just reading in the scriptures and the parallels here are staggering.
Jeremiah 5
Not One Is Upright
1 "Go up and down the streets of Jerusalem,
look around and consider,
search through her squares.
If you can find but one person
who deals honestly and seeks the truth,
I will forgive this city.
2 Although they say, 'As surely as the LORD lives,'
still they are swearing falsely."
3 O LORD , do not your eyes look for truth?
You struck them, but they felt no pain;
you crushed them, but they refused correction.
They made their faces harder than stone
and refused to repent.
4 I thought, "These are only the poor;
they are foolish,
for they do not know the way of the LORD ,
the requirements of their God.
5 So I will go to the leaders
and speak to them;
surely they know the way of the LORD ,
the requirements of their God."
But with one accord they too had broken off the yoke
and torn off the bonds.
6 Therefore a lion from the forest will attack them,
a wolf from the desert will ravage them,
a leopard will lie in wait near their towns
to tear to pieces any who venture out,
for their rebellion is great
and their backslidings many.
7 "Why should I forgive you?
Your children have forsaken me
and sworn by gods that are not gods.
I supplied all their needs,
yet they committed adultery
and thronged to the houses of prostitutes.
8 They are well-fed, lusty stallions,
each neighing for another man's wife.
9 Should I not punish them for this?"
declares the LORD .
"Should I not avenge myself
on such a nation as this?
10 "Go through her vineyards and ravage them,
but do not destroy them completely.
Strip off her branches,
for these people do not belong to the LORD .
11 The house of Israel and the house of Judah
have been utterly unfaithful to me,"
declares the LORD .
12 They have lied about the LORD ;
they said, "He will do nothing!
No harm will come to us;
we will never see sword or famine.
13 The prophets are but wind
and the word is not in them;
so let what they say be done to them."
14 Therefore this is what the LORD God Almighty says:
"Because the people have spoken these words,
I will make my words in your mouth a fire
and these people the wood it consumes.
15 O house of Israel," declares the LORD ,
"I am bringing a distant nation against you-
an ancient and enduring nation,
a people whose language you do not know,
whose speech you do not understand.
16 Their quivers are like an open grave;
all of them are mighty warriors.
17 They will devour your harvests and food,
devour your sons and daughters;
they will devour your flocks and herds,
devour your vines and fig trees.
With the sword they will destroy
the fortified cities in which you trust.
18 "Yet even in those days," declares the LORD , "I will not destroy you completely. 19 And when the people ask, 'Why has the LORD our God done all this to us?' you will tell them, 'As you have forsaken me and served foreign gods in your own land, so now you will serve foreigners in a land not your own.'
20 "Announce this to the house of Jacob
and proclaim it in Judah:
21 Hear this, you foolish and senseless people,
who have eyes but do not see,
who have ears but do not hear:
22 Should you not fear me?" declares the LORD .
"Should you not tremble in my presence?
I made the sand a boundary for the sea,
an everlasting barrier it cannot cross.
The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail;
they may roar, but they cannot cross it.
23 But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts;
they have turned aside and gone away.
24 They do not say to themselves,
'Let us fear the LORD our God,
who gives autumn and spring rains in season,
who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.'
25 Your wrongdoings have kept these away;
your sins have deprived you of good.
26 "Among my people are wicked men
who lie in wait like men who snare birds
and like those who set traps to catch men.
27 Like cages full of birds,
their houses are full of deceit;
they have become rich and powerful
28 and have grown fat and sleek.
Their evil deeds have no limit;
they do not plead the case of the fatherless to win it,
they do not defend the rights of the poor.
29 Should I not punish them for this?"
declares the LORD .
"Should I not avenge myself
on such a nation as this?
30 "A horrible and shocking thing
has happened in the land:
31 The prophets prophesy lies,
the priests rule by their own authority,
and my people love it this way.
But what will you do in the end?
I am with you....
I am not so blinded by my sheer emotion to this subject. Especially since I, like 99% of others on this forum, haven't protested outside the hospice for one single solitary minute.
you would think if they cared so much they would be there. Not that I don't care, its a tragedy, but come on....
The Democrats hopes for 06 and 08 are getting brighter and brighter with each passing minute and hope these "conservatives" that are eating their own realize that Hillary is just loving every second of this....
I too, pondered whether or not U.S. Marshals should be sent in, and, like you, reluctantly concluded the risk of a violent confrontation was not worth it.
However, this has done a lot towards separating the wheat from the chaff, so to speak.
Finally, to all of you who think Terri should die, I leave you with a line from a Blood, Sweat and Tears song:
"I can swear there ain't no Heaven
but I pray there ain't no hell
Swear there ain't no Heaven
and I'll pray there ain't no hell..."
Bravo! You have this situation exactly right.
God is using Terri's life and death to teach us many lessons, including the world's continued need for a Savior.
AND WHEN THIS CONSTUTION NO LONGER SERVES THE RIGHT OF THE PEOPLE IT SHALL BE ABOLISHED. WHY IS NO ONE LOOKING AT THIS????
The easter reading was the one where they would rather kill one man than jeopardize the nation.
Not true. The distinction is being made more clear to those who have been fooled by the deciet of the left. We are for life, and I will stand for that until my last breath. (just thankful that Mike Shaivo isn't my guardian)
yeah but its the ones that are screaming they won't ever come back to the GOP...
some of them actually mean it. If the elections are close that may make a difference....
Do not ask the Lord for help -- This is the problem, we have not brought God into our lives enough. He wants us to bring our problems to him in prayer and he will answer them.
We are going to be judged according to how we act -- Yes, we will be judged according to how we act and every single one of us will be judged a sinner. This is why we need the Savior who has already paid the price for our sins. When God says, "You are condemned," we will be able to plead for mercy in Jesus name.
Terri’s death will also signal the death of a nation. Everything that American was will be no longer. There is no longer any reason for us Republicans to even show up at the polls to vote. Even with our majority we are unable to show the guts needed to take our country back from an out of control judiciary. I am also so sick of our elected Rinos trying to argue not to change the closure rule back to what it use to be because they fear it will turn on them if the dems get back in control. Well, what idiot thinks that the dems, who apparently have balls, would hesitate even for a second to change the rule back if they needed to?
