Here's what's bothering me a lot. This is from my heart.
I try to envision myself in Gov. Bush's shoes and also, the president's. And I cannot even imagine allowing a woman to dehydrate into a dried mummy - if I had the authority to step in.
I hate to say this, but this is something Hitler would find no problem with. Or Saddam.
Of course, the president and the governor did not cause this, but they can do something to stop it - yet they do not. The executive branch has much more power to act than these men are using.
I see inaction on the part of people who can take action to stop evil - as wrong.
There are tons of issues surrounding this calling the husband into question, yet.....not much concern expressed by the president or the governor.
The president talks about how awful Saddam was and justifies a war costing America dearly. Yet he does nothing now - even though it's abundantly clear that he can take positive action if you've read Alan Keyes piece on the subject. http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=43472
Saddam sprayed civilians with chemicals causing them to die horrific deaths. How is this situation with Terri much different? This is like the governor and the president know an American citizen is being harmed in the worst way and they can stop it - but they don't.
It seems the Bushes would be worried about how this is making them look to people....that they'd be concerned people are going to seriously lose confidence in their leadership.
This is like the brazon disregard a dictator would employ, isn't it? As in just not really responding to people's concerns?
Gov. Bush just says he can't do anything. Well, I'd like to hear him debate Dr. Alan Keyes and CONSTITUTIONALLY DETAIL exactly why he can't. But he won't even explain anything. He just says "I can't and I won't." Right?
How is this different from what dictators would allow in other countries????
We've got ten year old children being handcuffed for trying to give a dehydrating woman water.....and the governor is washing his hands. He's having dinner every day and drinking water. He's enjoying a nice comfortable governor's mansion in Florida.
How can he live with himself??? If he is truly a good man?
I'm sorry, but my brain is not registering how any good and decent honest person with constitutional authority to act - could be allowing this.
I've heard some people say the president knew about 9-11 ahead of time and things like that. I never believed it before, but now how can I deny it? How do I answer such people?
In the movie Schindler's List there is a part showing Jews on a train and they are having difficulty understanding where they're going. It's really eerie because in the scene they are having trouble comprehending that Hitler would be not have their best interests at heart. They are in denial.
And I have to ask myself: Am I in denial if I think the best of the Bushes here?
I mean....think about it: How can any good, decent human being allow this when they have constitutional authority to act?
It makes no sense....
It's an honest question. I'm not meaning to demean the office of president or governor, but this, to me, is far, far, far worse than anything Clinton did with Monica.
I'd much rather think the best of the Bushes - it would feel a lot more comfortable. But I'm having trouble....
This is way, way off the charts.
Am I the only one here feeling this stuff?
Schindler's List
Do you realize just how ironic that name is? That, and Schiavo/slave? Or that Terri is named for Sta. Teresa de Avila, who suffered terribly from illness, and was mystical, and whose city is surrounded by walls?
STOP IT! Jeb has done a tremendous amount to prevent this evil from taking place. Let's keep the blame exactly where it belongs: an evil husband, an evil lawyer (Felos), evil judges, evil democrats who would not support a strong bill to prevent this, and last but not least, the useful idiots ('respected member' since 1998) who give them moral and politcal cover and support!
You are not off the mark, and not alone..it makes some people better able to handle all this if they tell themselves the Bushes could do nothing, that they are good men at heart.. but we don't NEED to handle this well.. we need to get angry and stop worrying about an illegal and unconstitutional law, especially when a county probate judge legislates and enforces from the bench which in and of itself is illegal
Think on this:
What Rosa Parks did was illegal
What the Nazis did was perfectly legal
Nothing about this makes sense, you're right. I have to think that there's a lot we don't know. From the surface level what has happened is hideous and foreboding. What is underneath has got to be much worse.
You're exactly right. Jeb isn't a man. If he were, and there truly was nothing he could do legally (whatever) he could at least be having hour after hour after hour pressers. He could be in front of the nation dispelling each and every lie the media has put forth to the American public. He could be telling the world Terri's side. He could be denouncing Greer, hino, and Felos. But no, he's eating dinner right now with his family behind the closed doors of the most powerful house in Florida - make that the second most powerful with the first being the Greer Reaper's courtroom.
