BELIEVE IT OR NOT

Clearwater Bar Association 'recognized 'Judge George Greer for his decision to
execute Terri Schindler. They presented the John U. Bird award to the Pinellas-Pasco Circuit judge on May 15, 2004.
This prestigious award, which is the Clearwater bar's highest honor for a judge,
was granted to Judge Greer for the way he has handled himself in the Nazi fashion
(adopted by the Scientologists) of executing by dehydration and starvation while
the victim screams, as in the Terri Schiavo case!

I absolutely love Mark Steyn. Thanks for posting this!

The Republicans did the right thing here, and they won't be punished for it by the electors.

Absolutely true.
Now maybe the so-called conservatives who have been intent to malign Tom DeLay will finally stop.

[Bahbah]

Princeton Lyman? Monteagle Stearns? Spurgeon Keeny Jr.?

I initially thought Steyn was making up these names. Apparently not. Bwahahahaha.

Steyn is exactly correct, and his wit and satire cut to the heart of the matter again.

Look at this revolting cartoon by Rex Babin that appeared in the Sacramento Bee.

What the Democrats and hard core liberals really feared was that this very public moral debate would expose their own lack of morals. They also feared that any Judeo-Christian aspect of this case regarding God's value of all life would spill out into the next court appointment battle.

The courts obliged in the Schiavo by reinforcing the Conservative position--that liberal judges are out of control and must be stopped.

Worse than a loose cannon.

A wonderful mental picture of a very defective weapons system.

The Republicans did the right thing here, and they won't be punished for it by the electors.

And not just electors from their own party, either. Mark my words, there will be even more Dems voting Republican the next time around. I know fewer and fewer Dems who want anything to do with the Deathocrats.

Uncle Ted and his Boys are the ones cracking up. The legacy media's tune that voters will punish the GOP for being pro-life sounds a lot like whistling past the graveyard. C'mon now; if abortion was such a winning issue in this country, the Democrats wouldn't be talking about recruiting pro-life candidates. Its the party of choice that's made a political brouhaha out of the Terri Schiavo case. So who's really being indecent? Uncle Ted rode to his career on the back of a dead woman and his party now wants to imitate his example. Whatta way to go!

The Republicans did the right thing here

Yes we did. We faught for justice but we did not win. That should be worth some distinction for those who really care and have a brain

Then there's the 59 striped-pants colossi of the Nixon-Ford-Reagan State Department who've sent a letter to the Senate calling on them to reject John Bolton's nomination as U.N. ambassador.

Condi Rice should appoint one of these clowns as head of the visa section at our new consulate in Sagastyr, in the Lena River Delta country of the Sakha Republic of the Russian Federation.

He could serve as an example for the others. Then again, Siberia is a vast land and her people have long been without consular representation from the US State Department. If a citizen of Siberia wants to take a winter vacation in, say Florida, he has to travel thousands of miles just to apply for a tourist visa.

Maybe we need a string of consulates across northern Siberia. This could be a win-win, Siberians get easier access to warm American tourist destinations and the US gets a means of rewarding State Department officials with postings worthy of their talents and the degree of loyalty they have demonstrated to the United States.

The Republicans did the right thing here, and they won't be punished for it by the electors. As with abortion, this will be an issue where the public moves slowly but steadily toward the conservative position: Terri Schiavo's court-ordered death will not be without meaning. As to "crack-ups," that's only a neurotic way of saying that these days most of the intellectual debate is within the right. If, like the Democrats, all you've got are lockstep litmus tests on race and abortion and all the rest, what's to crack up over? You just lose elections every two years, but carry on insisting, as Ted Kennedy does, that you're still the majority party. Ted's quite a large majority just by himself these days, but it's still not enough.

He sums it up perfectly in this paragraph.

[MrDem]

As Mark Steyne points out so well, the moderates, liberals, lefttists keep trying to pass out the propaganda that if the GOP stands on principle for right-to-life issues, it will hurt them. We hear the same garbage from all of the OPUS writers and those threatening to write them.

[alloysteel]

Norman Lear does endless replications of Archie Bunker conservatives and Mike "Meathead" Stivik liberals, cartoon representations no more realistic than the political caricatures of Ted Rall or Thomas Oliphant. The Lear enterprises have not presented an original thought since about the time of the Kennedy Administration, and that they stole from somebody else.

[Saundra Duffy]

The notion, for example, that poor Terri Schiavo will cost Republicans votes in a year and a half's time is ludicrous.

I cut up my 2005 RNC card and sent it back to the RNC with a note. I'm outta there! Jeb Bush was the last man to turn his back on Terri and walk away leaving her there to die a heinous death while her family was forced to watch helplessly in horror.

And Judge George Greer is a REPUBLICAN who was supported for re-election (not that long ago) by REPUBLICANS in that neck of the woods.

I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!! I have already re-registered "Decline to State".

I think whoever wrote this article doesn't have a lick of common sense.

HA HA HA! I need to go fishing with Mark Steyn:)
