Is This "It"?

What better way to murder someone then have the court do it for you?

BRILLIANT!

If Jeb Bush would pull a "Teddy Roosevelt" and have state police put her in protective custody (which he can do by Governors power, as in staying an execution). He would be the most admired man on earth.

Besides, even if the Gub gets held in contempt of court, his brother can issue a pardon.

This is war, after all.

Why Not? slick willy pardoned his druggie brother didn'r he?

Has anyone noticed that many of the radio talk show hosts are growing quite exasperated by this whole situation this week?

* Laura Ingrahm is clearly not herself - she is very tense, very testy, and very angry. Usually she is calm and cool, and quite funny. Not so this week: she has zero patience and is clearly personally pi$$ed (maybe more so than everyone else on this post), especially at the 'Pull the Plug' liberals of the media, and most notably Maureen Dowd.

* Tammy Bruce - usually very relaxed, I get the sense she has pretty much thrown in the towel and has turned her attention to the macro-angle: what do we have to do to keep this from happening again. That's not to say she doesn't understand the gravity of the situation - she clearly does and is very moved. Even by that standard, it's clear that her patience has worn thin. She too is unusually angry and like Laura, it hasn't really dissipated and quietly grown stronger daily.

* Jerry Doyle, whose demeanor is usually smart, warm, funny, & insightful, has also been increasingly tense this week. He too sounds worn out from this extended ordeal and has been very firm both in his commentaries and with some callers. Today he lamented how his galpal put him in the doghouse over Terri's case: they are of like mind on the issue, I think, but it has by his own words impacted him personally, since he is taking is very seriously and he is troubled that others in his life are more cavalier about it. Jerry is a GREAT host by the way and I recommend all Freepers listen to him!

* Mike Savage - my hero! Usually quite the firecracker normally, but even by that standard he is wound up so tight this week that I sincerely worry for him. He sounds like he is about to blow an artery. Today he casually mentioned that he better take tomorrow off, as his gut (as mine) suggests Terri will go on to her final reward on Good Friday and he explicitly said he doesn't want to be on the air when the news comes in. I don't blame him: he has torn the heads off of smug callers these days with a ferocity even unusual for him.

* Mike Medved - Mr. Calm, Cool, Collected and probably the best Conservative thinker on radio, he too has seemed unusually tense. While he is usually very patient with his callers, even he seems to have grown exasperated by the events. Of all those I have listed he is least impacted, but its unusual in him anyway so I have to raise it here.

* Dennis Prager is (maybe fortunately for him) on a cruise this week, but no doubt he is keeping up on it. Dennis is a wonderful advocate, a well reasoned and even tempered fellow, and a joy to listen to - that being said, he too was growing tense as last week wrapped up.

* Rusty Humphries - doesn't seem as frustrated as the others I have mentioned but he is clearly very troubled by this story.

I don't listen to all of the above all day/every day (I am a daily Savageaholic, though) but I work at home so my radio is on as I work and mill about my casa, and I sample across the dial between 730am and 6pm or so, PST (between Sirius, my radio, and my Internet connection, I get all of the above shows).

Increasingly, my fave hosts are growing increasingly shrill. This isn't a criticism, as I too am growing increasingly frustrated myself. I don't remember anything like this on our side of the aisle since that loooong November we had back in 2000, but this strikes me as more heartfelt and more genuinely troubling to all the cool heads I have mentioned above.

Anybody else notice?

Nurnenburg laws, don't you know, of course they had laws to enforce then, not process.

Moral Absolutes Ping.

Well written (IMHO) - "toothlessly meddlesome", "Congress will reassert its cowardice", "the judiciary at its most remote, arrogant, and imperial"....

Why are judges tantamount to kings? What happened? How did they get that power - who gave it to them? Are the executive and legislative branches, both state and fed, now eunuchs?

Now judges can tell us that two men or two women can and must get "married", that helpless people must be killed, unborn babies must be ripped from the womb, foul murderers who committed their crimes at age 17 are "children" to be protected, practically all expression of religion other than in one's own closet is verboten, and child porn is legal if not using actual children.

This is serious depravity, and must be rolled back.

Let me know if you want (back)on/off this pinglist.

[bondserv]

I agree. You expressed it very well.

One thing I know is that myself and none of the good radio hosts will ever let this go. It is a feeling in the gut that the battle is at a point where there is no turning back. Eliminate the enemy or die trying!

[NationSoConceived]

In direct response to the article, no this won't be "It," for the simple reasons that we have #1 a majority of the population that does not even know the woman is being dehydrated to death by court order, and #2, we've all been fed the "infallability of the judiciary" line from birth. Most of us don't care to know better.

It will be "It" when a judge issues an order that goes against even the common sense of the uninformed and the tepid leftists. It will happen sooner or later, but this is not "It."

[HitmanLV]

I agree - Ingrahm has just had it, and Savage is royally ticked off, too. Jerry Doyle is pi$$ed. This won't blow over quickly.

[Stellar Dendrite]

Hellooooooooo Infidels!!!!! ;)

[HitmanLV]

Hasn't he just lost it this week? He has left quite a few callers, broken & bloodied, in his wake this week.

I acually am pleased I called last week and got on the show - he was a lot more relaxed and introspective last week! This week he has been a terror - a good terror, to be sure!

SAVAGE!

[Stellar Dendrite]

I almost thought I heard him start to cry tonight....

[Rome2000]

Savage called his first caller an "idiot, moron" and "a little Nazi in a dress" when she started to parrot the usual incomprehensible lies of the left.

In the absence of a written will it is clear that a pschotic male nurse with a death fetish and a swamp judge have conspired to starve a brain damaged woman to death for kicks.

It is also clear that the GOP as a party is responsible for her death, as the Democrats would have taken her out at gunpoint days ago if the situation were reversed.

I don't listen to much talk radio anymore but mentioned on another thread that not only some people seem testy but my pets, too. My birds have been clawing and scratching at each other this week like I've never seen in 10 years. Sensing something bad ahead?

Not surprisingly, some people I know who are on the amoral side are just the opposite, happy and go-lucky as usual. Those of us with consciences are doing all the suffering.

[HitmanLV]

Dr. Savage was clearly more angry than I ever have heard him (and I am a loyal listener for several years and I have heard him get VERY angry). He was also very moved by it - I had the sense he was choking up, too.

Savage has also increasingly lost his patience with listeners this week, especially the thoughtless ones. Savage can pick apart anybody - usually it's very funny and entertaining. This week it's just foreboding.

Dr. Savage is a good guy - my fave commentator!

[HitmanLV]

Savage has been in top form! Still, I worry for him.

[HitmanLV]

Bad moon rising.

[Stellar Dendrite]

IMO, he's the McCarthy of talk radio!
This man is so dangerous to the left, I honestly worry about his safety.
