...with the holy trinity. Pretty good description. I like the Fox cable channel but don't have cable so it isn't often I watch.

Good post - There is a reason that the American system has endured these years. It was founded on eternal principles.

Which have been eroded little by little, and has now collapsed.

Through which proper channels would we have received our independence from Great Britain?

Or a bullet in the head.

Better let those cops alone. They have guns and are not bashful about using them.

Why are there not 1 million Christians in the street there? Where are the Jews who condem this activity done the the 1930s and 1940s. Since the Feds have gotten into it, they are murdering her in all of our names. In the name of the American people. It is only us who can stop it now.

Just exactly who has final authority over police actions?

Andrew Jackson.

Wasn't honorable at all. If she feels so passionate about the subject, she needs to start working to get the law changed.

I guess you would have condemned Rosa Parks as well.

God bless that lady...

Certainly. But you have to wonder, with so many people feeling so stongly about it, why is it just one lady? Everyone seems to think the life of Terri Schiavo is in the hands of one judge, or the Congress.

This death could be stopped. Except for the actions of one lady now arrested, all the rest of us that think this is wrong will sit by and watch it unfold, only expressing outrage and disbelief.

I mean what would the police do if a thousand people entered the hospital to bring her water? Start shooting?

They should given her a lethal injection, once they decided that she must die because Michael wants her to.

The liberals that want her to die don't see it that way. I understand your thinking. The liberals want her dead, but only by slow starvation. It is a legal nuance. It just would not be right to have a direct hand in her death.

Then don't blame the gestapo, either.

Your comparison is childish and insulting.

I'm giving you the opportunity to clarify that you are not in favor of Jim Crow laws being re-established.

I think you took that the wrong way, but it is more likely that I phrased it the wrong way. I can easily see how my words could be mistaken to mean that. No, I am in NO way in favor of any Jim Crow laws being re-established. When I said "her ass was in the wrong place", I did not mean that she was doing something inherently wrong. I meant that what she did was illegal and I don't believe that was the right way to accomplish the change of that particular Jim Crow law (even though I think it SHOULD have been changed). The proper way would have been to go through the legislative process at best and, at worst, sue and go through the judicial process.

When it is her times to meet her final judge, she can say, "when you were thirsty I tried to give you drink."

A government's laws must be in fidelity to natural law -- G-d's relevation, or they are naught. The law that allows murder or suicide is a foul law, and foul the judge that applies it. Such judges are OUTLAWS.

(Shrug) Go convince your representatives that a certain law is immoral, then. They are free to change the law. It is not the proper role of a judge to determine whether a law meets some religious standard.

"Freepers usually flip out when a judge substitutes their personal views over the letter of the law, and yet they're calling this judge names for refusing to be an activist."

"Freepers"? "They"? What's the matter, too good to call yourself a Freeper there, Modernman?

What was the point of this post? It's nice to see that you are unable, or unwilling, to address the issue of Freeper hypocrisy on this issue.
