Our country was founded on facing down and utltimately defeating the great odds stacked against us. Our fledgling nation of ragtag, overmatched defenders defeated an Empire. Yours is a very hollow apology for Jeb Bush considering just how far this case reaches into American civil and religious rights and stomps on them.
It's not about the chances of Jeb Bush "winning", it's about doing everything humanly possible to stop Terri Schiavo's murder and preventing our rights from being snatched away by a heartless, pagan judiciary. Our elected 'leaders' are standing around with their hands in their pockets and bemoaning their impotency while a woman dies, fully cognizant that she is being murdered in PLAIN SIGHT. Jeb Bush stopped short of doing evrything possible simply for political purposes.
Once you comprehend the full ramifications of Terri's horrendous death sentence and how it affects EACH AND EVERY AMERICAN IN THE FUTURE, and how it advances by leaps and bounds the Culture of Death and the judicial tyranny that supports it, then you begin to see that this is a major victory for the dark side of our society, because "good men decided to do nothing". Jeb Bush, and all of our craven elected leaders, have miserably failed us all.
No, mine is not a hollow apology. Mine is a suggestion of a calculated response. You don't win wars just by attacking. You've gotta have a plan that makes sense. There was no chance that Bush would win this battle. Bush consulted with dozens of conservative lawyers about what more he could have done, and I can assure you that they unanimously told him that he had reached the end of his rope. I'm a conservative lawyer, and I would have told him the same thing. Unless he was prepared to take up arms, he had no options. And a leader who leads an armed revolt doesn't have much chance unless he has an army behind him. Ask John Brown.
