This forum, over the past few weeks.months has gotten frankly... UGLY! This is a tremendously sad day for many. It is unimaginably sad for the Schindlers, for the many wonderful people who have been outside the hospice for the past two weeks, and it has been very sad for many of us who feel they finally have a place that they are able to voice their opinions and views, on Free Republic.
Terri Schiavo passed away today and in my heart and the hearts of most here, she is now with the Lord. Yet, there are those who feel it necessary to continue on this day, of all days, to blast our Government, the President, the Governor, Michael Schiavo, Felos, Greer, DU, other Freepers and anyone else they can think of... May I suggest that for today, we simply grieve together... We share our hopes and prayers for Terri's family. We pray that Terri has found peace and if need be, we pick up our in-fighting and our showings of the uglier side of Free Republic tomorrow.
I unfortunately feel this thread will not get as much attention as the others but I hope we can, just for today, leave our differences at the door...

Thank you... Nice thought... We need to grieve...
Matthew 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
and tomorrow... we need to continue to do the right thing...
Well, my point Diogenesis is, you're right... Maybe we can take the day to mourn the loss of Terri and keep her mom and dad in your thoughts and prayers.... It easier to focus on that when hatred toward judges isn't interfering by being in your heart at the same time... All I'm saying is, pick it up tomorrow, that's all...
Thank you very much. Its not often I get a compliment (because I am a newbie target) so I am blowing you a kiss .

Now THAT is cute! ROTFLMAO!!!!!
Unfortunately, I feel it will..
But you're right, there is no need for bashing.
I feel honored mhking, I always wanted to start a thread that made your Ping list... :-)
Shatner-style.

I'm sure you'll have plenty of chances to use it in the future.
BTW, love it!
This place has never been bash-less before, why start now?
What a cute bunch of cats! They look almost just like my two boys, Oliver and Bobby!
Sometimes they fight, seemingly to the death, but eventually one will start licking the other one's head and they settle down for a nice nap together. :)
Awww.
LOL!! As I said, there's always tomorow... :)
Now THAT"S funny!!!
Stay strong newbie, hang in there. It's worth it. We want you here.
You're not getting my point with this thread, but that's ok... :) Enjoy your day... Dave
So, are your sons in their twenties, thirties?
The base problem is that much of our society has reached the point where many people simply cannot tell right from wrong. Somehow we have reached a point where any behavior is acceptable if we place it in just the right shade of light. Its OK to stave an innocent helpless woman while demanding that known killers of Americans held on foreign soil be granted the same rights that they worked so hard to destroy. Unelected judges now sit beyond any accountability demanding the creation of laws governing the terms of marriage, denying basic historic tenents of American society, and openly grabbing ever more power to reach into every single aspect of American life.
If you can't face that a huge monumental injustice has just been perpetrated against an American openly and publicly then turn off your computer and go watch some cartoons.
Me, I'm annoyed and I plan on doing whatever I can about it.
HAHAHA!! Shouldn't that tell ya something?? Things must've gotten pretty bad, huh?
