For example, there are a lot of people here who think Randall Terry is a conservative, who revere him even. Of course, that doesn't make it so.
How much?
Michael Schiavo has proved to the world what a POS he is. I predict you'll see his media supporters either shrink back into the woodwork, or start changing their tunes.
I also predict you'll be amongst the last give it up.
I thought Felos said the same thing about himself yesterday. I thought he said that Michael, Michael's brother and Ms. Assistant-to-Felos were there.
It's hard to keep track of the variations upon variation that Forked-tongue Felos is able to deliver.
Felos is great at parsing words.
Here's just one sample (paraphrased from memory)
A reporter asked, yesterday, if Michael had an insurance policy onTerri or was the beneficiary on one. Felos said he wasn't aware of such a policy
. The reporter pressed again, for a clearer answer. Felos said, "My client has no policy on Terri" or "My client is not the beneficiary of any policy on Terri." "But someone else might be the (beneficiary of) or (have such) a policy."
Is Michael the only "my client" Felos has, or might Felos have been truthfully referring to different client as "my client who has no policy "? Might someone close to Michael have a policy on Terri?
It depends who those "other people" are.
In Russell's case, if they're people who are themselves passionate about atheism, have studied it seriously and approach its promotion in a similar manner to the way a Christian evangelist tries to spread his religion, then yes that's exactly what it means.
When your writings about religion appeal to atheists-and lots of them- that actually means something.
Communists like what Marx wrote. Atheists like what Russell wrote.
What's difficult about that?
Michael Schiavo's not allowing Terri's brother Robert in was a necessary thing to do because MS had to be consistent right up to the final moment in casting and re-casting himself as THE GOOD GUY in a sea of BAD GUYS. He had to make a show of continuing to protect Terri against those who would continue to "make her suffer". IOW, it is an ACT.
I'm trying to spend more time out here in the News forum.
Stops me getting into trouble with you guys.
Great point!! I hope you don't mind I've repeated what you said.
Well, of course he was forced to behold the a bearer of the Crucifix, a Follower of Chirst, The Truth, The Way, The Light. The spokesman for death is darkness, he does not comprehend the Light.
No, nothing hard about that at all.
Yes. It means that atheists appreciate the writings of a really smart agnostic.
I WISH someone would ask Felos the question, that IF it was Terri's wish to die, "to not live like that", WHY was a feeding tube inserted in the 1st place???? Another freeper posted that question, and it keeps nagging at me. That question SHOULD be asked over and over and over again.
hehehe
hey c'mon now, this is series
Good question.
( sarcasm) Perhaps Michael had amnesia for 7 years. (/sarcasm)
Bobby said he wanted to be there. Michael said no...and yes this type of death can be very predictable...(have you ever heard of the death rattle?). When death was very near, MS said no. That assured that Bobby would not be there. The parents were in transit.
< It didn't take much for that to get turned into "Michael made the family leave at the moment of death," however. >
Bobby asked to be there at the time of death and MS said no. What part of that don't you get?

Oh, no! MS made a terrible miscalculation. He had a chance to redeem himself a little by allowing the family in. He turned around and just blew the chance away. My cousin, who had really no interest in this subject 2 days ago couldn't believe it when I told her a bit ago. She was willing to let it lie, because HE IS the gaurdian, but she found this disturbing. I think this one decision by MS can turn around a lot of people who were giving him the benefit of the doubt.
