Everyone should see "Innocents Betrayed". It will really open your eyes.

I've been being berated all day by "The Coalition of the Sane" for making this same exact analogy... and ironically enough I put up a post on my blog with a very similar title, last week.

Thanks for the post.

Good post!

Here is a thought that I hope will be considered even by those who agree that Jeb and W have done all that they could within the law.

Michael Schiavo last week invited both the President and the Governor to visit his wife. I think they should go.

And bring her water.

Some argue that the Governor would be dangerously disrupting the balance of powers between the branches of government if he took executive action. Arresting him for bringing water would be such a breech as well, but it would be by those serving the court.

Fifty have already been arrested trying to bring Terri water. Go, Mr President. Go, Governor. Bring her water.

"Moreover, starving people is a war crime under the
Geneva Convention and is considered barbaric torture by
human rights organizations worldwide."

Perhaps, American Citizens, especially the disabled, the aged, the infirm, the defenseless ought to sign on to the Geneve Convention.

Everyone should see "Innocents Betrayed".

Movie? Documentary? Is it available at Amazon.com?

Hell just watch "Judgment at Nuremberg" ...

Plot Summary:

It has been three years since the most important Nazi leaders had already been tried. This trial is about 4 Judges who used their offices to conduct Nazi sterilization and cleansing policies. Retired American Judge, Judge Dan Haywood has a daunting task ahead of him. The Cold War is heating up and no one wants any more trials as Germany, and allied Governments, want to forget the past. But is that the right thing to do is the question that the tribunal must decide.

I was fighting the question to ask on this forum, but it was answered by this and a posting from a Rabbi. More than anyone else, one would think that those of the Jewish persuasion would be very sensitve to the Shiavo issue.

Thank God they are speaking out on this.

Great post and article.

Our leaders know what this is really about and they are letting it happen because it is covenant and cost effective.

They know that they can do their usual thing and say we tried it's them bad old judges.

Oh they'll make their great speeches and maybe even pass another useless law that the next two-bit dictator on the bench will throw into the trash can if it gets in his way.

Then it'll be business as usual back to dividing our money among themselves and their friends.

BRAVO BUMP for a great article!

I must admit that I am thoroughly and completely bamboozled
regarding Judge Greer's authority.

It appears that Greer is Probate Judge... which is to say, he has
authority to oversee the distribution of my late Gramma's china
and silverware, etc.


However... from where and how does he have the power and
uthority to prevent a poor dying woman from taking a sip of
water ???????????

Large numbers of prisoners were systematically starved to death in the concentration camps under Nazi and Imperial Japanese control during World War II. Nobody called those starvation deaths “humane.” It astounds us that courts in America could order a starvation death of an innocent disabled person.

Bears repeating.

[reformjoy]

Everything good is said in the article.

But, what can we do?

IT IS DONE.

Clinton Appointed Judges decided to deny the parents.
And to deny Terri LIFE.

Something to remember when Hillary runs for
the presidency.
