So, in your opinion (and this is a question, not an attack) was this showdown worth less than the showdown between the President and George Wallace?
That was merely enforcing the right to an equal education, not the right to life. IIRC (And I can't even remember who was President - was it Ike? - so I may not recall correctly.) No shots were fired. And the people of Alabama certainly supported their Governor.
Shalom.
>>>Waiting to see the reply from the Bushbots.
I for one am VERY dissapointed in them. I would have respected them more if they had remained out of it on principle then to disagree with it and go in with guns a blazing and out pops a cork.
Thank you for looking at my point objectively.
I did not. Considering how bad the original movie was, I am surprised.
Well, no, not really. Hollywood has never shown that they care about the quality of their output.
Shalom.

Good article.
Yep in a few years in addition to the many fine abortion mills all over the country, soon there will many fine Euthanasia facilities also.
Has grandpa's / grandma's money run out, is all they is sit around the house and eat, drink, watch TV and consume all those resources that could be going to better use like say a new car? Well don't fret, theres a nice euthanasia starvation center near you. Just bring in that old useless eater and leave them in our tender loving care. Thats right you can have the satisfaction of knowing granny will never again eat that steak you had in the refrig waiting for YOU when you got home from a hard days work at the ye ' ole abortion mill. (/sarcasm)
Anyone remember the movie Logan's run?
CAROUSEL!!
MMMMM jenny agutter...pic please...
Thanks for the suggeston for the tag line!
Terri's dad said that Terri has such as strong desire to live. She does not want to die! Yet a cruel and tyrannical judge has ordered that she be executed because she is disabled.
Roe v. Wade was the beginning. This is just widening the road of acceptance. Instead of just legally justifying the murdering of the unborn because they're inconvenient or whatever, now we can get rid of the old and the sick.
We are not talking about one situation here, we are talking about the rule of law and it's an extremely important point. Do not let the emotion over rule that because future generations are counting on us not to destroy the foundation of this country.
God Bless Terri and her family and please continue to pray for her!
Prayer is the only thing left for Terri and her family. The Church, judicial system, and government have let Terri down.
No. Just as you couldn't count on all Presidents to step down after two terms just because George Washington did. Yet that situation stood for a long time because we mostly elected moral men to be President.
We are not talking about one situation here, we are talking about the rule of law and it's an extremely important point.
Two responses:
1) The rule of which law? The law that says whatever a judge says is right is right? I'm not familiar with that law. The Executive can simply find that the judge did not properly apply the law and take action. He can, of course, be hammered after the fact if he is wrong.
2) If the law is immoral and we stand on its rule, the Nuremburg is a sham. The rule of right supersedes the rule of law. That's why I could demand that Elian Gonzales be allowed to remain dispite our laws that say parents get the final say. In this case that was a wrong law. The right thing to do would have been to offer him sanctuary.
Of course there's a tradeoff. In Elian's case it was only a matter of freedom. Elian may yet be free before he dies. In this case a life is at stake. Once Terri's dead it's too late to realize we were wrong. In this case the balance should tilt to the government doing what's right.
Do not let the emotion over rule that because future generations are counting on us not to destroy the foundation of this country.
Oh, that's been done.
When a Mayor flouts law to marry homosexuals and doesn't even get a slap on the wrist, the foundation has crumbled. We're like Wile E. Coyote. The bridge has fallen and we're hovering in midair. We're feeling around with our foot before we look down. Then we will fall.
Shalom.
Firstly, the RULE OF LAW is in dispute. And the JUDGES have violated THE RULE OF LAW all over the place.
SECONDLY, even were that the case, THE RULE OF LAW should never supercede LIFE. THAT is the most DANGEROUS PRECEDENT being established in this case.
THIRDLY, THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT, CONSTITUTIONALLY, HAS THE POWER, AUTHORITY AND OBLIGATION TO STAND UP TO ROGUE JUDGES WHO HAVE DISOBEYED THE LAW. PERIOD!!!!!!
