What a crock - she was dead 15 years ago.

The Barbarians are inside the gates!

***And lamentably, he adds, even many Christians believed it was right for the state to sanction the brain-damaged Florida woman's death.***

They believed it because that was the only logical conclusion they came to based on the limited and distorted infomation the Media was giving them.

The Media is the issue.

Listening to the MSM I got a very different picture than the one I received for knowlegable post here on FR.

We must work to break the Media's stonghold on this society.

she was dead 15 years ago.

Terri Schiavo? No, she died on the 31st March 2005. Of starvation.

Dead people don't breathe on their own or have a beating heart.

R.C. Sproul is one of the few Bible teachers that I pay any attention to. He is a breath of fresh air when compared to the fundamentalists that garner most of the attention.

[Irish Rose]

I assume you mean "brain-dead" and no, she wasn't. Michael Schiavo, his brother, and that creep of a lawyer may say so, but Terri's family - and even a few of her nurses - have said otherwise. If it comes down to they-said they-said, who is more reliable?

[ThelastPatroit]

I agree. Read my "Open letter to the American News Media"
at www.gunsandglory.blogspot.com

Everyone should learn that officials of the Nazi party WERE HUNG at Nuremberg for the same crime of murder that George Greer of the Florida 6th Circuit court pronounced on Terri Schiavo.

[SwinneySwitch]

I'll bring the rope.

[Mark in the Old South]

Bush Legacy = The Shiavo Solution

Rejoice the Social Security Crisis is solved and the culture of death marches on unhindered.

[Ff--150]

Who cares what this R. C. Sproal thinks!

People of faith will have antennas out for what the Lord says to actual men of God like Rick Warren, Joel Osteen, Marcus Lamb etc.

It's gotta suck when you can't properly spell your FR handle when you sign up.

Unless you really are the last Patroit. Could be a family name, I guess.

As to your point, there were a number of courts, up to and including the USSC, that would not agree.

"...Everyone should learn that officials of the Nazi party WERE HUNG at Nuremberg for the same crime...."

Maybe it is time we issued an official apology to those Nazis. After all, they considered Jews, Slavs, and Gypsies as subhuman just as Judge Greer and even a few zip wad Freepers consider Terri to have had too few motor skills to fit their idea of being properly alive. The pics and further descriptions of Terri smiling pretty well show up the Friends-of-Michael to be Nazis in my book.

[Old Professer]

I've met a few people like that myself, usually on this website.

[balrog666]

Doesn't matter now, does it?

[agere_contra]

Doesn't matter now, does it?

Yeah, what does it matter if Terri was starved to death for money? Jeez, these right-wing theocrats are such one-notes, am I right?

[P8riot]

So what makes you think that R.C. Sproul is not a man of God? What do you know of his teachings? I think that if you read them objectively you would come to a different conclusion.

The barbarians are definitely at the gate, and at the Walmarts, malls, stores, everywhere. I see them every weekend and they get worse every weekend. Just 7 days will pass and I can find the barbarians acting worse then the animals in the cages at the zoos. They make the caged animals at the zoo look so calm, orderly, thoughtful and civilized.

I am so tired of this "She was gone 15 years ago" rhetoric. I've heard that for 30 years. That is THE most offensive thing to say. I remember working in a nursing home years ago and hearing family members saying that of their parents. "They are not THERE anymore!" Of course they are THERE. Where else would they be! They are NOT dead, they have not YET passed on to heaven and will NOT till their heart stops. Until that point they ARE there.

There is always a tone in the way those who say that "They are not there" say it also. It is as if they are discarding something, an ol piece of rubbish, that has no use. They no longer have to deal with it anymore. It is not up to snuff for them. EVIL, selfish, self absorbed talk this is!
