CALLER: Hi, Rush!
RUSH: Hi.
CALLER: I just wanted to know if you happened to catch George Felos on Fox & Friends this morning.
RUSH: Yes.
CALLER: What did you think?
RUSH: Well, there's a number of things that we have from Felos. One of the things -- what did you want to ask me about regarding Felos?
CALLER: Well, when they got to the last question I thought he looked, like, totally stunned. I think he thought that he did really, really good throughout the whole thing looking real calm.
RUSH: For people that don't know, what was the question?
CALLER: About the Hemlock Society?
RUSH: What was the question? I want you to tell me.
CALLER: Oh, I'm sorry. They had asked him -- they had heard a lot of talk on the radio -- or on talk radio, and they wanted to know if he really and truly belonged to the Hemlock Society.
RUSH: Yeah, and he said that he didn't.

| CALLER: You didn't think that he looked stunned? RUSH: Well, I think he looked stunned. I think he looked stunned, but he was not -- from everything I've been able to gather, he was not -- a member of the Hemlock Society. CALLER: Oh, he wasn't? RUSH: He was not. Here's what we know about the Hemlock Society and the Felos bunch, and this comes from Judi McLeod from the Toronto Free Press, it's a website, and we had the story yesterday. "Dr. Ronald Cranford, handpicked by Michael Schiavo to examine Terri and on whose say-so Terri was categorized in 'persistent vegetative state.' Cranford is the MD who officially ordered Terri’s feeding tube removed on March 18.... He was 1992’s featured speaker for the pro-euthanasia Hemlock Society, which was renamed The Choice in Dying Society," but not Felos. However, they're all connected because all these people are -- well, except for one, all of them are -- board members of the hospice in Pinellas Park. But Felos himself was not a member of the Hemlock Society. We have the sound bite. I think he was stunned not by the question about his membership but just the whole idea that it had been discovered that everybody involved in this hospice, that all the board members have and Felos does, too -- do have connections to people who are part of the Hemlock Society. It was a pro-euthanasia group. The question from Steve Doocy was, "Talk radio has been buzzing about your connection to the Hemlock Society. Could you just make that clear for us?" FELOS: I don't know what they're... Uhhh, I don't know what they're talking about. I've -- I've -- I've spoken, uhhh, I've spoken before the Hemlock, uh, Society and -- but I'm -- I'm -- I'm not a member. Ummm, I don't serve, uh, in that organization, so I -- I -- don't know what they're talking about. RUSH: I think he was a little stunned that the whole concept of the Hemlock Society was brought up here. I think this is something they thought was pretty much unknown because the mainstream press wasn't talking about it, the mainstream press is not talking about these connections. |
Always hard to see someones else's true motives. That is for God to determine.
What is hemlock?
See Post #40
It is not sanctioned?
My uncle's parkinson's disease progressed to a point where he couldn't swallow. His powers of speech and mobility were long-gone too. He made it clear that he didn't want the feeding tube, and equally clear that he understood the consequences. He was gone in a few days.
Was that suicide?
And who do Hemlock Society people vote for and support ? demoRATS !
What methods of "checking out" are you talking about?
No.
**the mainstream press is not talking about these connections.**
Well, they should be.
Because they did it.
" Always hard to see someones else's true motives. That is for God to determine."
Actually, the failure here was in the court's inability to determine the motives. IN fact, very few effective mechanisms are available at any level to check such motives.
"No".
Well, if my uncle didn't commit suicide by refusing the feeding tube, would he have committed suicide if he would've purposely injected an overdose of prescription drugs? or jumped out of a window?
I envy people who can find bright, clear lines in these matters, because I cannot.
There is absolutely nothing to indicate that Newt Gingrich belongs to the Church of Scientlogy. Nothing. And I've looked.
If I'm wrong, I'd appreciate a link of some sort.
I'm sure freepers will/can clue you in to Scientology much more than I can.
But here's a nutshell: Scientology was invented by a science fiction writer, L.Ron Hubbard, as a kind of experiment. He wrote the first book as a kind of science fiction, people believed in it, and the whole thing was born. Hubbard considered Aleister Crowley (sp?) his mentor. Crowley was a homosexual pedoophile Satan worshipping black magic practicing warlock (male witch). I'm not kidding.
Scientology is atheistic, believes in no God or Supreme Being, and the whole goal is to achieve personal power so as to control others. There is no mercy, love, kindness or anything similar in their philosophy. They use people, take peoples' money, indoctrinate them in horrible ways, and even kill them.
It is evil through and through.
The power to "Kill with a Thought" (which Felos claims to have in his book) comes only from acheiving OT Level VIII status in the Church of Scientology.
Did he have feeding tube,I pray and post with you and look for answers.TWohlford
A poisonous plant, used in ancient Greece to impose capital punishment.
Not the same thing...Your Uncle personally refused a feeding tube because he could not swallow. He was able to express his wishes. Terri was not. Terri also was able to swallow her saliva. This means that Terri would have been a good candidate for feeding by mouth. She was denied rehabilitative therapies.
What happened to Terri was assisted suicide at best, murder at the worst... I think that many of us are judging this case by our own sad experience and not the true merits of the case.
I am sorry for the loss of your Uncle, God bless....
It's empathy for your fellow man.
If you don't get it now, maybe you will when its you on the other end of the feeding tube.
