Good job getting people's hopes up with lies and spamming numerous threads.

FOX just reported that the judge said NO. AGAIN! I hope this monster suffers in his conscience for the rest of his life for this. I hope he never rests easy again. The bastard.

I didn't believe the Fox report anyway. I never watch the channel, but some people think it is "conservative." Do they still have that hilarious Mancow (from Chicago) on sometimes in the morning?

Look, I don't think Hoot2 was trying to scam anyone. I heard it on Fox News, too and was elated. Now I'm crushed with the latest news of rejection by the judge.

I don't know. Work for a living and leave the house at 7. I never turn the TV on in the morning.

He has no conscience. But you are right about one thing: he is a "monster," and the people of FL seem to idolize this popular "Republican." Maybe they are hoping he won't come after them next.

Since you state it so categorically, I have a serious question. I'd appreciate a serious answer. What is the difference between America today and Germany in WWII days, as citizens watched Jews being rounded up and sent to concentration camps to be legally tortured and killed? Thanks in advance for a serious answer.
Well, for one, this is not an issue of persecution based on a race or religion. For another, if she'd had a living will stating otherwise this wouldn't be happening (I'm sure no Jew in Europe could have signed a document saying "I don't want to go to a camp" that would have prevented their slaughter). For another, she wasn't "rounded up." For another, these decisions are all based on testimony (whether true or not) that she did not wish to live in this condition. (I'm pretty sure no one claimed the Jews in WWII told them they wanted to die in a concentration camp).

Like I said, this is wrong and horrifying and sad, but hyperbole hardly furthers the cause.

The principal differences now are (1) numbers, (2) governmental decree vs. governmental sanction, and (3) non-imprisonment of dissenters. However, all the differences may vanish in a few decades.

God save the republic, or what's left of it.

I agree. My daughter just called to tell me she heard it on FOX and was disappointed when it wasn't true.

I think you just coined the new motto of the RNC! For poor Terri, she is tortured not for failure to leave a so-called "living will" that can be manipulated by "health care" officials for their purposes but for being "unequally yoked with a nonbeliever."

Did they ever ask for permission to try to feed her by mouth? At least to give her fluids? I can understand (though do not agree with) the judge ordering the removal of the feeding tube under the auspices of the contention by her husband that Terri didn't want to 'live that way'. But it seems it would be just simple compassion to at least allow her to have some fluids. If she's not eating, she's going to die anyway, at least she wouldn't have to suffer total dehydration while doing so.

Of course, if that had happened, it may have been discovered that she COULD swallow and eat on her own, and I guess Michael didn't want that to happen.

Thank you for that confirmation.
Back to praying.

There's impassioned activism and there's hysterical zealotry. Comparing this situation and this nation to German slaughter of 6 million people is the latter.

Jeb sending armed agents into the hospital to rescue her would be the former.

We're on the same side here.

JUDGE ORDERS SCHIVO MURDERED
Schindlers: We Won't Appeal Again

Saturday, March 26, 2005

CLEARWATER, Fla. — A state judge on Saturday rejected another attempt by Terri Schiavo's parents to reconnect her feeding tube, rejecting what the couple's lawyer described as their last chance to keep their severely brain-damaged daughter alive.

Pinellas Circuit Judge George Greer (search) denied the parents' motion to order the reinsertion of the tube. Bob and Mary Schindler claimed their daughter tried to say "I want to live" when her tube was removed on Greer's order March 18.

Her husband, Michael Schiavo (search), and his doctors have said that her utterances weren't speech and just involuntary moans. He argues that she has no hope of recovery, something disputed by her parents, Bob and Mary Schindler.

The Schindlers are still holding out hope for an unlikely intervention by Gov. Jeb Bush (search), who has said he has done everything in his power to take custody of Schiavo.

As of Saturday afternoon, Schiavo had been without food or water for eight full days, and doctors have said she would probably die within a week or two of her feeding tube being pulled.

Her lawyers, however, have said Schiavo — whose dehydrated body has begun to shut down — may not survive the weekend.

Judge Greer is a tool.

Greer probably put out the false rumor this morning to show that he was "truly deciding." The man may be eating up all this national publicity now that he has won it all.

Greer 8
Bush 0
Time remaining: 10 seconds
