Terri's Day and nation's independence protects life culture
Kevin Fobbs May 29, 2006
America's Culture of Life is truly the legacy of one woman whose death forever changed our nation because of actions that were not in her hands but in those of her husband and his lawyers. Yet for millions of Americans we will forever link our own celebration of our nation's independence to the courage of the Schindler family to go forward past the tragedy, past the personal sorrow, past the searing anguish to help America draw a distinct line in the sand, to issue a clarion call to America.
Our 4th of July is coming... Our Culture of Life Independence Day is on its way. Our month of Independence is a message that March 31st (Terri's Day) will signal, that July 4th will signal... and that the month of July will signal to defend the Culture of Life before we lose it forever.
When we talked with our family members or even our neighbors or our friends we may have spent but a moment reflecting upon why we are even gathered on a Memorial Day afternoon. Do we think about the sacrifice of our soldiers and of their families? Do we think about the long goodbyes which are never long enough... as the military families send their loved ones to war, to battle, to stand firm for our freedoms... for our life... for our nation and its values of faith?
How does Terri Schiavo and her legacy tie into this? Terri's legacy and Terri's Day is a representation of a right to live, and freedom to have the liberty to not have it compromised away, devalued by inconvenience, or litigated away by judges who celebrate a culture of death that would rob life from the womb, steal life from a hospital or hospice bed, and destroy and shatter a family's love for a daughter, a sister and aunt who was given a gift from God, but had it separated from her as easily as an ant would have its life take by an uncaring shoe... extinguished forever.
The families who send their loved ones off to war have to wonder as well, does America value their sacrifice? The families of the military have to wonder just where does its society draw the line on its values? A soldier who is in battle in Iraq or Afghanistan has to wonder if a Florida judge can take away the life of an innocent, what is the measure of his life? Would a judge in America suddenly decide that if he were injured, if he had to sacrifice a limb that the protesters outside his hospital bed would have more rights than he would or his family? Would this soldier have to wonder that if he or his fellow soldier were killed in battle, that upon their return that the protesters who would stand outside of his funeral... have more rights to be protected than the rights his family would have to a military burial with honor?
You see, the Culture of Life is about Terri Schiavo, because Americans now have to examine the life of our culture itself. We have to wonder if we as a nation of Christians and of a nation of faith and of a nation of compassion would allow for a state to murder an innocent woman and strip her family of their loved one then as a nation would we allow America to have other symbols of life, of our nation to be peeled away as well, all in open sight and in plain view of a dispassionate nation?
What does our American Culture mean if we allow millions of illegal aliens to literally browbeat us into submission by demanding that because they have stolen across our borders, demanded and received protection from local law enforcement in numerous cities throughout the U. S., obtained free or reduced educational opportunities by state public colleges that our own children could not qualify to receive the same financial aid assistance for. Are we that defenseless to let illegals strip our state coffers of housing assistance for loans and mortgages when tens of thousands in almost every state in America have legal citizens who are homeless, impoverished, or working poor or middle class Americans who need similar assistance but cannot receive it. And they are legal! They are citizens! They are Americans.
What is so wrong about our nation when we are so ready to compromise our freedoms, our culture's life, the life of an innocent and the taking of any life is the taking of our own children's life and their child's. And with each successive generation the nation and its life, its values, its traditions, and its language will disappear because we as Americans were too preoccupied — too narrow — to see that an illegal alien was taking your child's education, that a crusading death culture judge was preparing a bed, a room, a legal precedent to take your child, grandchild or sister or parent.
That is why I have stayed my course to defend the Culture of Life and to ask my fellow Americans to begin to understand that as Terri Schiavo's life was slowly ebbing from her body and as her mother Mary, father Bob, sister Suzanne, and brother Bobby waited in the Florida early morning air on March 31st, 2005, America was having part of its soul ebb away as well.
What will it take to spark an interest, a concern, and a passion for protecting one's own life? Some may say that it would take a clear and present danger — like tanks rolling down your neighborhood street or another 9/11 that strikes at the heart of America. Do we have the convenience to wait? Do we wait until a state legislature in Maine or California or Delaware or Ohio or Illinois decides that your mother's decision to live is determined by a hospital "bean counter" who decides that your mother's life is not based upon a "Will To Live" but an ability to pay her bill? What about a baby, not born, but already set for murder in the womb — not because the mother is pro-life or pro-death but because "the law" says the unborn baby's life is expendable because the baby's genes are determined to be part of a class or a group or a race or of an ethnicity which pre-programs the child, un-born, to death?
America is being murdered in small pieces. It is seeing its values, its life, its culture disemboweled with the finesse of a skilled surgeon. And it is America's poll takers and its legislators and its uncaring, disinterested, and uninvolved who are handling the scalpel. Take the scalpel away. Contact www.Terrisfight.org to join the Foundation's battle to educate America about the right to live. Go to Terri's Day on www.kevinfobbs.com to learn about new updates on Terri's Day and the event to celebrate the Culture of life.
So on Independence Day and Independence month of July will we have any Americans who will sign up and join the Culture of Life movement in their community? Even if it is to sign a pledge, hand out a flyer, become aware of legislators and judicial candidates who have agreed to stand firm for the Culture of Life — a crusade that is based not only upon the life of Terri Schiavo's legacy but equally crucial based also upon the legacy of the right to live, to defend our culture and the life of its values.
Terri's Day is not the end of a national movement but the beginning of a national contract with itself to stand for a future that our nation can guarantee for its children and for a culture that will insure life. The right to live will be Terri's legacy — our legacy... one nation under God. Join us in your homes, on your family picnics, out camping and celebrating July 14th and 15th ... Our American Culture of Life belongs to each and every one of us... We must protect it. Let's celebrate together.

Gun control advocates rail about the dangers of guns, and when confronted by pro gun enthusiasts at demonstrations are terrified that they will be shot dead right there. They truly are frightened little lambs about to be slaughtered. (in their own minds.)
And gun control advocates and leaders go bonkers when they, themselves have guns, are sure the rest of the world thinks as they. They know if they had a chance they would blast away at the gun enthusiasts.
More examples of projection...
It is morphine and other cocktails that ensure, like our own friend Uncle Johnny, the patient is just too comotose to shout out his opposing views. "He must be in a coma, just look at him!" Also, morphine is part of the Exit Protocol not just to ease pain and render senseless, but also to enhance the shutdown process.
Poor Uncle Johnny. May his life remain an example in the hearts of family and friends. May his needless death be a warning against the evil of the Death Culture.
Why doesn't Hospice of the Suncoast pay back the 13 mil plus interest they owe the Federal Govt?
never mind.
See 451
"Michael's condition worsened. Doctors discovered that a hemorrhage in his brain destroyed almost the entire right side."
They weren't killing at first but just stealing property.
Today, we have both extermination and property rights nightmares.
I can't spell that church and I don't drink pepsi cola but thanks for the comic relief.
Since Vigilers didn't bite, the best the coppers could do is arrest children, some innocent women who inadvertently got roped into an arrest and some men who didn't get very close to the Hospice Woodside. The guys who did get closer, they took heroic measures.
Those german sheperds and tasers got them. It was so nazi-esque there.
There are ALREADY death camps. There are "papers" to put people in death camps. What are zeez papers?
Laws like the Texas Futile Care law and Florida's law that turned feeding tubes into medical treatment.
The enforcers are the corrupt judges and indoctrinated doctors and workers in the death for hire biz. All are aided by the two major political parties, moveon.org and the ACLU. That is why it confounds me that freepers claim to be conservative yet they are positioned with the far, far left.
Git r dun. (should be Hospice of the Suncoast's slogan).
north country gazette is now subscription only.
Remember the juggler? The one who must have been hired to perform so we would all be branded a circus? He was juggling tenpins or something as I recall. That didn't work either. I remember one guy admitting to me he was paid and he apologized.
Sometimes like today, the whole article is posted. I haven't figured it out yet.
The real one someday because it's obvious he'll never repent.
I guess it would work to go to Amazon and type in "hell" and see if she pops up.
We should link her book to this thread for lurkers here. Judge Greer would need to purchase the AUDIO book since he cannot see but saw fit to condemn Terri to death even though she was not allowed near his courtroom nor did he ever bother to visit w/her.

FYI: If Crist becomes governor and all the Fla AG candidates are lousy, Florida will become Death Central for the world. It won't just be limited to Pinellas County.
Terri's marker looks big on the internet. It is not.
This isn't left or right. If Mikey wants his privacy, why did he start a PAC and why does he go on speaking engagements? This was never about privacy but the ACLU likes to hang their hat on privacy so they can get judges to order bad things to happen.
TERRI'S BARBARIC MURDER was about civil rights versus being treated worse than an animal by the govt sworn to protect her.
Even left wingers are not fans of his, just a select few like the kind that support kooky Cindy Sheehan. She's a modern day Tokyo Rose urging soldiers to defect to Canada.
Mikey is urging people to starve/dehydrate their loved ones like he did. THE MORE THE MERRIER and then he won't feel so guilty????
Florida is getting a bad reputation. I'll post the amended flag later. FLORIDA IS THE STARVATION STATE
Mr. Whatever apparently read his wife's mind and knew therefore, that he should get out of their vehicle to enable his wife to drive off the cliff.
It sounds like he read Felos' book about reading peoples' minds that they wanted to die.
Mr. Whatever fulfilled his wife's wish by reading her mind and yes, she is dead. He is in custody. Terri's killers are not.
