From El Rushbo - have you really heard everything about the Terri Schiavo Case? With his usual brilliance for making the complex understandable, Rush Limbaugh shows you what its really about. And America and your families will never see this the same way again.

(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)

RUSH WAS GREAT!!! HEARD IT ALL WITH PLEASURE

[Mamzelle]

bump.

[Bahbah]

You meant to say "Right on side of Life" I'm guessing.

I don't always agree with Rush but as usual he hits this story from angles most people don't. The whole Dem argument is a political one, about "hypocrisy". That bizarre woman from Florida said this was getting in the middle of a family issue, though oddly she didn't think that about the FLA Supremes...

They may come out ahead in the short run if the polls are any indication, but I think this solidifies them as the party of death. Like Iraq, I think this is one of those cases that as time goes on people will learn more about it--people seem to think she is on life support now!--and people will realize it's the right thing.

Almost half of the House Democrats who were present for the vote last night, voted yea...

My own Republican Congressman, Henry Bonilla of TX didn't vote period.

""From the data that is available, it is not a horrific thing at all, Dr. Linda Emmanuel, the founder of the..." Well, then why are we worried about Africa? Why are we worried about Third World poverty?"

If overpopulation is so awful, why aren't we just starving people in Africa to get that number down?

Amazing.......The Death zealots never care about sanctity of marriage unless they can use it as a prop to legitimize starvation. What sick people.

Limbaugh - "Isn't it amazing that when it comes to the subject of life, you don't find any Democrats on that side?"

AFP - "the House of Representatives voted 203-58 to hand over the fate of the 41-year-old Schiavo, who has been in a persistent vegetative state for the past 15 years, to a federal court... The Senate unanimously passed the same measure late Sunday."

Both statements can't be true.

He has definitely been lurking here for show prep.

He did a fine job today.

The "news" programs both radio and TV are saying the Democrats say the Republicans over stepped their bounds in the Terry Schiavo case. I even saw one of Reagan’s Justice Department men say that this step was ‘unconstitutional’ on Neil Cavuto today. Fact is provision is made in Article III Section 1 of the U. S. Constitution.

It is patiently obvious that most of our elected haven’t a clue as to the Constitution other than the most common uses. That document is a wondrous work of legalese that seems over the head of most congressmen and senators. But you and I can read it, understand the intent if not all the jargon and last nights effort by the elected and our President was right on the dime constitutionally.

It would be a wonderful thing if all running for federal and state offices had to have an in depth knowledge of the United States Constitution. But I suppose that would be asking too much and the ACLU would fight it anyway.

"I actually get the impression they'll be mad if this woman lives, and I don't understand it. I really don't understand it."

Quite, they will be mad, furious. That is how Michael sounded today . . .

They will be mad and furious because their will would have been thwarted. They are USED to getting their way in the courts, and not having it challenged. It has definitely become a battle into which the libs have staked themselves into the outcome. IF SHE LIVES, they will have LOST, and they HATE to lose . .. they HATE Bush because Gore lost and Kerry lost -- and they will HATE Terri if she is legally "permitted" to live -- even more than they hate her now, for merely STILL BEING alive . . .

Rush said it: they look down on "Bible-beleivers in the Red states", for whom they have ULTIMATE contempt (read Nietzsche if you want to see the contempt verbalized honestly and unapologetically) and blame them for thwarting THEIR "enlightened" and "progressive" views. The attainment of which views/goals, they deem SO righteous that the mere life of a mere handicapped woman is nothing, nada . . . she is to be a cog in the wheel of the forward, progressive march of euthanasia, nothing more. Her personal life is meaningless -- her POLITICAL purpose is ALL.

This is a BIG step for them: extending the "right to die" to cases which are NOT terminal, NOT on life support, NOT suffering horribly, etc. etc.

This case gets them all the way to the "quality of life" reasons to off someone, in one BIG jump. I.E. they decide, YOU are better off dead . . . "I feel your pain", so I will euthanize you . . . to put YOU out of your "misery" -- whether YOU want to live or not.

I read that the pro-death movement lamented Hitler, because he set the euthanasia movement back 50 years.

Well, it is 60+ now, and they will have it all back, and then some, if they WIN this one . . . They won't need ovens, they can just use hospices and hospitals . . .

Well, as I scan posts most recent first, I now see you have essentially posted the same thing twice, so I'll post my reply to you on this thread too.

You know, this is all well and good in the fantasy world that liberals usually live in. But I don't live there, and I don't want my children to be burdened with me if I cannot recognize them or Mozart for a stretch of three months. I don't want them to kill me artificially (injection) and I don't want them to sustain me artificially (feeding tubes and/or other medical industry enrichment artifices). I guess I see starvation as more G-dly, or natural if one prefers that euphemism.

Not all choices are easy, and most are pretending this is a slam dunk. ML/NJ

[firebrand]

Instead of presenting this as a right-versus-left issue, people with a wide audience like Rush should be emphasizing that we must ALL care about this: any one of us could end up in this situation, where we are not brain-dead, and people who want our money want us dead.

Why is Terri being treated no better than slave to her derelict and abusive husband's wishes?

[madprof98]

I wonder how many fans Rush lost over this one. Many people, even here, have an almost pathological desire to see this woman dead. If they could smash in her skull with a chunk of concrete, I believe they would convince themselves it was the moral thing to do.
