We had assurance that the Bush brothers would uphold the Constitution of the United States and proudly protect all citizens against challenges. The poor weak and dying in Amerika can no longer place hope in their hands. How dare W preach Jesus' word to the people.
First of all who in the world spells America...Amerika????
Secondly, I know of no part of the Constituion...that states "proudly protect all citizens against challenges."
Thirdly, who are you to say that President George W. Bush can not repeat Scripture, and share an Easter Message.
And Last of all...God is still in Charge, and may the Peace be with you!
You seem quite emotional over this matter, and understandably so.
Remember, though, that sometimes it is necessary to lose the battle in order to win the war. Both brothers tried their best to save the poor woman. Had either of them gone any further, they would have most likely caused grave harm to the stability of Florida or the even country itself. There are many people who would not have looked kindly on sending in the FBI or the National Guard. Sometimes in a battle you can't throw everything you've got out there, lest you overexert yourself and have nothing to throw out in future battles.
We are in the middle of a culture war. Terri's battle was a battle worth fighting, but it is not a battle worth sacrificing all of the gains we have made and stand to make. Terri's life is extremely valuable, especially because she is weak. The weak and defenseless are the ones in need of the most love and care. But, even when fighting against courts that are acting unlawfully, it reaches a point where, in fighting an injustice, you overexert your political capital, leaving no room for future actions. We have a nuclear option to put into place in order to start getting decent judges on the benches. Such is already a dicey proposition politically, but would be much dicier on the heels of a federal agent vs. local police firefight over the Schiavo matter!
It is difficult not to be emotional over matters like this, but we cannot let our emotions blind us to the point where we support taking actions that ultimately undermine our overall goals. We failed this time. Let us keep our failure in our hearts and work to get pro-life judges onto the benches so we can say, "Never again."
Hey troll.
Your spelling of Amerika gives you away.
Go back to DU.
What a small thinker you are. Our country deserves better.
I think more of your ire should be directed at the democrats and the 8 or so republicans who refused to act in the Florida legislature. After all, they are the one who make the law as established by the Constitution. The executive in charge by the Constitution to UPHOLD that law.
You are a perfect illustration of why Lucianne made the decision.
She is right.
