Is America Broken? (Joseph Farah: Terri Schiavo Needs Us - Pray For Her and Our Country!)

A woman is slowly starving to death in a Florida hospice.

She is under armed guard to ensure that no one offers her water to drink or food to eat.

This is all happening under court order.

Not a congressional act or the personal intervention of the president of the United States has been able to help her.

Is America broken?

How could this happen in this country, as the whole nation, the whole world, watches?

Oh, the lawyers have their excuses.

The high priests in black robes claim to have sympathy but say their hands are tied.

This is all happening because one obviously estranged husband is on a determined course to exterminate his wife with extreme prejudice.

Her friends can do nothing to stop the killing. Her loving family is doing everything in its power to stop it. Millions of Americans are left hopeless, helpless, by government machinations.

It's a crime. It's a sin. It's a grievous injustice that is bringing shame upon our country.

Enough is enough.

I know I speak for the vast majority of Americans when I say: Feed Terri Schiavo. Give her life-sustaining water. There is no excuse for this barbaric torture under the color of the law. This is an issue of basic morality. Let Terri live.

Americans do not want to be complicit in this murder.

I refuse to be silent.

I call on Gov. Jeb Bush to use his executive powers to stop this slow, torturous death. I call on President George W. Bush to use his executive powers to intervene for this U.S. citizen. I call on the Florida Legislature to rewrite its laws right now to prevent this atrocity against a fellow member of the human race. I call upon the Congress of the United States to make it explicitly clear to the authorities in Florida that the cold-blooded killing of Terri Schiavo will not be tolerated. I call on the U.S. Supreme Court to step in and protect the constitutional rights of this American.

America will be forever changed if Terri Schiavo is allowed to die.

There is no reason to believe this is her wish.

There is only the flimsiest of circumstantial evidence to believe that. And there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary – evidence never heard before by any judge. Motives are material in criminal trials. They should be examined in this civil case.

Why the rush to kill Terri Schiavo?

Why not re-examine the evidence?

Why not rewrite the laws if necessary?

The people of this country are crying out for justice. They are crying out for morality. Terri's plight is on the mind of every American today.

And let me add one more thing to my plea today – one more message to all Americans and people around the world watching this case.

There is something each of us can do.

And I believe it will have impact.

When you read these words today, take one minute of quiet time to pray for Terri Schiavo, to pray for our country, to pray for God's providence to be done.

I believe that is every bit as important to the appropriate disposition of this issue as anything that can be done by the courts, by elected officials, by the attorneys and by the activists on both sides of this life-and-death case.

Heavenly Father, have mercy on Terri Schiavo. Have mercy on this country. Your will be done.

Amen.

Is America broken in the failure to actively save Terri Schiavo's life? Joseph Farah writes its time for no more excuses. Now we must take one minute to pray for her, to pray for our country and to pray for God's will to be done. We may not be able to do more but to manifest our faith to move heaven and earth to do the right thing is needed now more than ever.

Joe Farah has been eating too many Y2K rations as of late. Everytime a verdict, decision, or ruling doesn't go his way, he starts yelling about how the sky is falling, our world is doomed, and there is no hope at all. What a pessimist indeed.

Our Father, Our King - annul the evil design against Terri Schiavo your servant and extend her life and bring wisdom to the leaders of the State Of Florida and of our country to do right by You and by your servant whose life is in great danger. Give her the gift of life that comes from You, O God and give us cause to to rejoice instead of to dwell in grief and sorrow. Avert this act of injustice, Our Heavenly Father and may Your will be done on earth as it is in Heaven.

Allow your servant Terri Schiavo to be fed bread of the earth and life-sustaining water so her days upon the Earth may be long and may it be to our merit that our prayer is heard from on High in this dark hour. Amen.

It all boils down to this

Well if that is the law..

Then the law...

is an ass.

[goldstategop]

An excuse. I do not recognize an illegal and immoral order. I will never accept that the state has the right to order, under official color of authority - an innocent human being to be put to death. What is happening shames us as Americans and is an affront to God in heaven.

Amen!

Our prayers did nothing for Elian. They are not working for Terri, either.

Get with the program. The Angel in the Whirlwind has left us.

It seems like the song this country is going by more and more is "I'm a Judge, hear me roar!!!" B-P

I wrote Governor Bush a very strong letter. We have to do everything in power to save a human life. Its not enough to pretend our hands are tied. When the courts act in a lawless manner, it is time for the executive to rise to secure a citizen the right to life. The people of the State Of Florida and of our country are watching. Every one needs to write and we need to place pressure on Florida officials to provide relief and correct this enormous injustice.

If he acts he will be an instant hero to a full half of the nation. The time for words from our leadership is over.

Oh man. There are cannibals boiling children in the African Congo and in America we have children being arrested for bringing a suffering woman a glass of water.

I believe that there is hell coming.

America was once the bastion of a strong and determined and unashamed belief in god. Many europeans were confused but also in awe by the bible thumping heart on my sleeve american approach to god. Sadly over the last 30 years this belief has been eroded continuosly by the lefts determined and serupticious endeavours and the god fearing folk have slowly but surely given up more and more until they are now viewed as " out of place in America". If God doesn't appear to be around at the moment, maybe its because he favoured America, but America has left him, if there is a gaping hole, a void, then evil doers will quickly fill it. This is a test. A test of Americas belief. In all of histroy there has been many times when one life has made a difference. This i believe is one of those times.

I'm heartened to see a child defy an unlawful and immoral order. This is exactly what every one of us should be doing in that circumstance. True religion consists not in obeying earthly laws that degrade the human personality and that oppress man's spirit and which are at variance with the moral law - the Law Of God; true religion is about doing God's will by loving mercy, doing justice, and walking humbly with one's God. What a child has done should be an inspiration to all of us about really matters in this life.
