Rush Shares Personal End Of Life Story (MUST READ!!!)

Rush Limbaugh.com ^ | 03/21/05 | Rush Limbaugh

[Two-Bits]

Well lets face it. If the democrats failed in getting us aborted then they may succeed in having us exterminated at the other end. My question to the Democrat Sr. Seniors. Are you ready to be starved to death? Forget the Social Security scare tactics, the Democrat Party keeps beguiling you with. Pay attention to what they are saying in regards to starving to death this handicap woman. Remember if they can put this woman to death without a second thought, be very very scared because you not know when the party of death tolls for you. Think about that Mr and Mrs Democrat Senior Citizen. Never mind how much you paid into Social Security. The real point is how much do you think the Democrat Party is going to allow you till they think you are depensible especially when health problems start to arise. Remember if they can starve a handicap woman to death without a blink of conscience, where do you think you stand in the spectrum of things. Hmmm Your living wills don't mean jack crap if the democrats want you dead....Remember the old adage, you are worth more dead than alive.....Oh yes the culture of death coming soon to you. Thanks to the Party of Death, the mystery of when we will die is no more.

Remember there is nothing wrong with killing the unborn. It is a choice. Nothing wrong with choice until you are on the side it is being done to and you thought you escape it when you were born.....

>"a better chance of recovery than Terri Shiavo, whose cerebral cortex has been completely destroyed."<

Your assertion is medically inaccurate. Terri suffers from some brain damage, yes, but she is not brain dead, nor anything approaching it. Chances are better than average that the damage was sustained as a result of a beating by Michael Schiavo, and if meaningful therapy was given to her on a regular basis, who can say whether she might recover, and to what extent?

Always choose life!

Because God commands it!

[I still care]

The vicious little truth of this story that so many don't realize. I worked in a hospital for years, and saw many people that could recover or were still talking and trying to eat starved by doctors and selfish families.

People more cognizant than Terri have been starved. I've seen it. It just takes a little work to manage to get "around" those inconvenient laws.

"He talked about the decision making on his Grandmother years ago. At that time he said nothing at all about suspicions like these."

Is it unreasonable to think that Rush might not share every intimate detail of this very personal matter with his listeners?

[gogipper]

This is farcical. If you think there is a big distinction because of the delivery means (spoon vs tube) you really need to go to an adolescent site and try to argue there.

Quote: Chances are better than average that the damage was sustained as a result of a beating by Michael Schiavo, and if meaningful therapy was given to her on a regular basis, who can say whether she might recover, and to what extent?

Do you have any real proof of this?

BTW: I heard that American Arch Conservative is running around on his wife. My ridiculous comment is equal toward yours.

Rush has spoken a beautiful essay here. I agree with almost every word--except the fact that he thinks that this is a political loser for the left.

It ought to be.

But this is a world full of sin and bad people--death and sin are "seductive" as Rush says. I think those who want so fervently for Terri to die now have a deep investment, and a compelling need to self-justify.

I saw a lot of smug faces today--lawyers and judges and Democrats. I won't forget the face of Ackerman of NY--smirking, almost laughing. Fat little Mengele.

When Terri dies (and I recognized the eventually when the news said--"judge won't hear case until 3"--) Bush will come across as weak, the Congress as hysterical, and the Schindlers as whiny and annoying. Look how many people here on FR seem to despise them....! The left will swish across the stage triumphantly in their funereal black robes.

It'll be a bad day for all concerned.

In long threads, people often respond to the thread as a whole, but, since you have to respond to someone when posting, it sometimes looks as if they were talking to you when they were to talking the thread at large.

In other words, don't take it personally....and Welcome to FreeRepublic :)

[Joe Republc]

Bump for Rush.

He has never spent so much air time talking about pro-life. He is being very passionate, yet very clear, about a very emotional issue.

Is it reasonable to think Rush believed his graqndmother might have been 'murdered' and did nothing to find out?

Heck it was not that many years ago that Christians were against keeping people alive artificially because it was against God's plan.

Thank you. Excellent post and what I've been saying, not as well though, for days

[SerpentDove]

"Is it reasonable to think Rush believed his graqndmother might have been 'murdered' and did nothing to find out?"

What was he supposed to do? And what makes you so sure he didn't follow up?

Essentially, you're calling Rush Limbaugh a liar.

[SerpentDove]

Essentially, you're calling Rush Limbaugh a liar.

In addition to calling Terri Schiavo's parents demented.

You're on a real roll there, pal.

[UCANSEE2]

whose cerebral cortex has been completely destroyed.

You are assuming this is true. The doctors disagreed on this point. If actually true, how does she sit upright in a chair? How does she vocalize words like "mom", "paaa" (for pain)?

How does she have the ability to smile at people she likes, and not look at people that she distrusts?

I think you are exactly right. Michael Schiavo (new family by his side) will become the poster child for the Right-to-Kill crowd, and most Americans will admire him for his persistence in the face of right-wing opposition.

[Alexis the Bengal Kitty]

Terri is not brain dead.

My mother was brain dead, and I have always been thankful that the Lord called her home and spared us from even more grief.

[UCANSEE2]

The SUNCOAST HOSPICE has done this to over 150 patients who were diagnosed as TERMINALLY ILL, and it was found they were not. FELOS and the HOSPICE made $14 million off MEDICARE for these people.

The DEPT. of Health and Human Services has filed for a return of the money, and FELOS has filed an APPEAL to delay having to pay the money back (and have that in the public record).

"I know I'm going to get flamed for this so hammer away. For sakes people it's been 15 years. Let he die with dignity."

Just which part of starving to death is dignified?

[Servant of the 9]

Essentially, you're calling Rush Limbaugh a liar.

No, I am saying that like any raconteur and entertainer Rush occasionally embellishes stories to make them support his point more solidly.
