I'm a Republican. I voted for Bush, and This is a standard line used by Libs

Ain't it the truth! Automatic seminar caller.

How stupid are these people? (don't answer that, I already know)

[La Enchiladita]

It seems every day we see the courts upholding the right of husbands to murder wives or ex-wives, doesn't it? Where are the "feminists" on this?

Quote: Food and water are not artificial... A feeding tube IS artificial.

But the judge has refused to permit even food and water by mouth. According to the family, she is capable of receiving liquids. A spoon is artificial too, I suppose.

Before the 48 hours had passed a decision had to be made, my grandmother had another stroke while nobody was there and passed away in the hospital. At least that was the story. I've always doubted it. Given that we were given 48 hours to move her out of there, I've often wondered. Nobody will ever know, so it's just speculation on my part. I don't know how many patients are actually killed already on the basis that they don't know what's going on, it's better for them, we need the bed, insurance isn't going to cover this, blah, blah, all these decisions.

He talked about the decision making on his Grandmother years ago.
At that time he said nothing at all about suspicions like these.
Sometimes Rush's memory gets a bit embroidered to fill out a current story.

It's common sense.

Have you ever noticed how Rush plays the audience? For example Rush will make a point about a subject of the day and then a caller will call in and make a BETTER point and Rush says "You know I was thinking the same thing". You and I know he was not or else he would have said it. He says that line all the time because he does not want to be upstaged by someone that makes him appear "Less than knowlwdgable". It's theatrics. He is a master of this.

Anyway I just don't beleive all that Rush says and that's my opinion. I've personally caught him on several subjects over the years.

[beandog]

I'm glad you said it's just your opinion. Mine is the exact opposite. Rush is one person I truly trust.

JEB Bush needs to declare a state emergency, activate the National Guard and go inside that hospice and take her out and give her to her parents.

He won't. And the moment she dies his politcal career is over. And ought to be.

FL law calls for removal of custodial rights in event of a "conflict of interest". Schiavo has a new common law wife and two children, the conflict of interest is scathing. Judge Green has acted outside the law. On that alone Jeb should have acted...too late now, he won't do a damn thing.

Some nursing homes and hospices will withhold liquids from patients with family consent... I am not sure whether a living will is also needed. The patients are then filled with morphine...

These people think they are doing good.

Remember, there is some acting and showmanship involved in any radio or TV production. I also like Rush and have listened to him for 15 years. I just don't take everything he says to the bank.

Bump for a good post. You're right until we string up (figuratively, now) a few of these judges up who are taking the Country down this degraded path, nothing will change. Terror of the wrath of a righteous people needs to fill the hearts of these judges, only that will bring them to heel.

[yatros from flatwater]

If you were a medical student or resident physician your neurological examination of Mrs. Schiavo wouldn't pass muster.

If you had viewed any of the video available on the net of Mrs. Schiavo, you would have noted by simple observation alone that while she shows evidence of cerebral damage, she shows no clinical evidence of decerebration or decortication.

That the body "Automatically" senses changes in light, heat, noise etc just like a plant that perks up to sunlight... [snip] Let he die with dignity.

Let her die with dignity, like a plant?

Cordially,

[AlbionGirl]

And, not to bug you, but one more thing...

If we were really a people jealous of our liberty, we would have started dragging these judges by the collar down the steps of their respective halls of justice decades ago.

[zip]

You beat me to it.

[mlmr]

My understanding of eliciting hospice services is that you are only going to use pallitive care and let the patient die without intervention.

[middie]

Rush Limbaugh-----Barf!

[La Enchiladita]

Why are you telling me this? The whole thread is based on Rush's show? Why me? Barf on you.

[gogipper]

I know its painful to relive that, but it does provide the contrast that we need to keep in mind. There are hopeless conditions, but is Terry in that condition?

[don-o]

I thought he really nailed it. It's easy to see why he is the king of talk radio.

Yup. He brought his "A Game" on air today. And I am sure that he informed a lot of the sheeple - specifically regarding nutrition as a not extraordinary matter.

Most of the sheeple do not have the distinctions defined yet. Rush did a good job on that.

[ODDITHER]

I see that this will lead to more people having the black robed grim reaper help them murder their loved ones.

Dont all babies to the age of three qualify under these circumstances?

Any judge ruling to end a life, should have to spend time with the person before making this decision, and be at the bedside while it happens.
