To preserve life... take others? Huh? I missed something. What do you mean by "LEO-on-LEO gunplay"?

[justshutupandtakeit]

Call for the Way Back machine?

"Don't know what was deleted or why."

It would appear 'Don't know' is an apt description for all lot of what you've been posting, at least in this thread.

Try your post #232 to me - And I had nothing to do with it's deletion - Either another offended FR'r or an astute Mod. Heck, I wish it was out there for all to read.

Please don't ping me back.

HAT is a fate worse than death because with death the spirit is freed and I have no reason to doubt that she would be with God.

I guess you don't understand. She is with God now. God is everywhere.

[syriacus]

Life is more than a mere physiological process which is all that is left of TErri.

Please expound on this.

The only impact on me is indirect through the damage such costs impose upon the medical community. How many millions are you willing to spend on such cases when every dollar diverted will cost those with a chance to survive, recover, rehabilitate? You think this is without Opportunity Costs or free? You think the taxpayers are not going to pay for it?

Should they worship a head of cabbage it won't cost anything.

This is a disaster for conservatives and will come back to haunt us. The Schindleristas have thrown every conservative principle over for political expediency and you are right to fear their impact. Any time emotion trumps rationality there is reason to fear.

Absolutely true. I've never seen us act this way. We used to laugh that the Democrats eat their own young, yet look at some of the bile being spewed all across the country, and it's conservative against conservative. To be fair, though, I've seen evidence of left-wing agitation in spots, so it would be well to watch out for that.

The Schindlers have been in it for the money ever since the money was awarded to Michael. I would bet a large amount that they will file a massive lawsuit after Terri dies. I wonder what the courts will do then.

I am a judge at Free Republic. Are you a doctor in your own mind?

[justshutupandtakeit]

I am concerned about her spirit not her body.

[anglian]

While you're channeling be shure to let us know if Michael is a liar or is telling the truth.

[justshutupandtakeit]

I know what the Bible tells us about death. I know what Jesus promises us. That is good enough for me. That message is not to fear it unless you perhaps have reason to. I don't think Terri does.

[jpsb]

I wonder why, if it is so good to speed another's journey to the everlasting, G-d commanded us not to murder?

[lugsoul]

I agree that the judges could have reviewed the record and tried to create out of the record the alleged Federal violations that should have been submitted to them, fully briefed and backed by citations to the record or other evidence. But I also know that this case ain't the only one they have. Or even the only one of grave importance and urgency that they have. And that if I went down to Forsyth Street and gave them a pile of stuff to sift through without a pretty clear roadmap of why I win under the law they are authorized to rule upon, then I can't blame them for me losing.

Frankly, I thought Wilson flat-out misread Terri's Law. He must've been listening to the Congressional pressers when those yayhoos were blasting the judge for not doing what they required - when on the floor of Congress they acknowledged that no such requirement was in the law.

What about just being there and try to get into the room peacefully and forcing them to arrest you. Do you think it would make everyone reconsider their positions if thousands of people are being arrested daily?

Is that what the family is requesting?

Or what about a hunger strike. I haven't seen anyone willing to do that either.

Is that what the family is requesting?

Is Jeb Bush doing everything he can? No. Good, now we agree, but that IS what the family is requesting.

Now, a couple of questions for you:

Does Terri Shiavo have a constitutional right to LIFE?

Is Jeb Bush, as governor, sworn to uphold the constitution?

If you can answer "YES!" to both of those, you should understand why many of us are not happy with Jeb right now.

[Bahbah]

Agreeing to hear an appeal they knew they would reject is pure cruelty.

I could not agree more. Why, why would they hold out false hope.

She HAS been given the best medical help available. She IS being given morphine. We simply do not have infinite resources for such situations as this.

[syriacus]

he Schindlers have been in it for the money ever since the money was awarded to Michael. I would bet a large amount that they will file a massive lawsuit after Terri dies...I would bet a large amount that they will file a massive lawsuit after Terri dies.

You are arguing against yourself.

1. Terri is impoverished but the Schindlers want her alive.
2. Terri is impoverished and Michael wants her dead.

In what part of the brain does the spirit reside? And what machinery do we have that detects that spirit?

Were Stalin and Mao God's favorite people, then? Because they caused many peoples' spirit to be freed, so that they could continue their journey to heaven. Somehow, I really doubt that. Those two are likely roasting.

If we follow your reasoning out to its logical conclusion, then it would be permissible to kill any permanently disabled person, in order to speed them on their journey to heaven. Your arguments, in the end, are as flawed as Greer's are.

[justshutupandtakeit]

What thread is that? I see these kind of attacks on every thread and mostly from one side.

[syriacus]

I am concerned about her spirit not her body.

Fear not. God is with her right now.
