Spot on!

Hate to say it, but your message is falling on deaf ears,,not here at Free Republic...but in the PC legal ass-ki$$ing land of the US media and US justice and political systems...

The justice systems don't deal in human 'emotions'- those words like mercy, values and judgement are simply not tolerated and the values of being human, of kindness, of compassion, are long forgotten in the halls of the courts.

At the same time we are told to be 'happy' about it by the very legal eagles whose livelihood depends on a thriving tyrannical judiciary.....

I'm not celebrating.

Whenever a death penalty is being carried out we see many protesting that death ... where are those that protest at death penalties ... are they among those in Florida standing, protesting and praying on Terri's behalf?

In this case, legal arguments aside, Michael Schiavo's insistence on killing his wife goes against human decency, especially given that his wife's parents and family members have offered to care for their daughter/sister at their own expense, leaving her erstwhile husband free to go on living his life with the second family he has formed since his wife was struck down.

This to me is the most haunting part of this case.

How's about...starting today on every Death Row in America we quit serving meals and turn off the water. Apparently, the euphoria will be amazing and they will die happy. No need for another hearing, no Governor need get involved and best yet the leftist will have no room to complain.

I want to suggest a Political cartoon..

A dry desert scene, with a Hospital bed,on the bed a frail
person under blankets..and large Vultures perched on the headframe and foot board.

each Buzzard wears a nametag..."Boxer",Kennedy,Kerry,Clinton.

and 2 undertakers waiting by a herse called "right to die"

Caption...."It wont be long now"

I know that all manner of courts have reviewed every available shred of evidence

Maybe not. Given the "rules of evidence" bias that Judges insert, it may well be that the courts heard nothing of the "truth" in this matter.

I am afraid Terri will die. I am afraid she will actually die on Easter Sunday.

If that happens, better believe it will completely alter my opinion of "authority", "Government", and the "American Way of Life". It will wake me up BIG TIME, and apparently, I have been sleeping.

The way I see it, if Terri is truly unaware then her soul has left and gone to heaven so it doesn't matter what happens to her body. If that is true then what is the harm in keeping the body alive to avoid this torture that her parents must endure?

I just cannot fathom the torture her parents must be enduring.

You are correct the backlas has started, right here and right now.

"Now Is The Time For All Good Men [and Women] To Come To The Aid Of Our Country".

The innocent are being slain, the time has come for aiding those who we have been entrusted to protect, to get our protections.

Ops4 God Bless America!

...washed his hands of any interest but the $1.2 million he allegedly stands to receive when his all-but-comatose wife finally passes away

This bonanza is, as I understand it, the so-called "death benefit" resulting from a successful medical malpractice suit against the physicians at whose hands Terri allegedly suffered the grievous injury that has culminated in her current disability

Is this true?

Major bump.
