Charley Reese on the "National Disgrace"

King Features Syndicate, Inc. ^ | 04-08-05 | Reese, Charley

Bingo.

[rdb3]

What happened to Charley, 15 years ago he was a sensible creature, and now he's really gone off the deep-end.

Yes, he was very sensible when he was still writing for The Orlando Sentinel. Since then, your guess would be as good as mine.

We are our brains = we are only our brains, so anything goes.

They provided a national megaphone for fanatics to make wild and unsubstantiated — and, in some cases, previously discredited — allegations about Michael Schiavo and Florida Circuit Judge George Greer Terri's parents and friends, doctors who disagreed with the view of the court appointed doctors, nurses who took care of Terri, and anyone who dares to believe that starving someone to death is immoral.

Exactly right...Reese is 100% incorrect about what constitutes hearsay

where was the editor on this article?

[yellowdoghunter]

Well said and excellent post.

[Cboldt]

I firmly believe Charley Reese has something medically wrong with him.

LOL. At least he's come out in a way that shows where his heart and mind are. I give him credit for that.

BTW, have you seen the Mae Magouirk case? Another family squabble with life on the line.

Most of us still think that there is a spiritual value to human life that goes beyond intellectual capacity.Very well said, Monterrosa.

[Digger]

National polls have shown that an overwhelming majority of Americans, including those who describe themselves as evangelicals, support the decision to remove the feeding tube

I suppose he is referring to the ABC poll. What an a$$.

When I read the first line of the article, I thought "Wow, Charley Reese took his medication today!"

Two lines later I banished the thought. Silly me, thinking he would point out the disgrace of the MSM's disinformation and slanted reporting, pro-death push-polls and vilification of Christianity.

Apparently the disgrace is a failure to pay proper respect to our government masters in the judicial branch.

[Digger]

National Disgrace are people like you, Charlie.

Is it weird or what that paleoconservatives and Christopher Hitchens-style liberals seem to agree on almost every issue these days?

[longtermmemmory]

Reese does not know what he is talking about when it comes to heresay. He got it dead wrong. He did not consider acts in respons to statements. (ie "what did you do in responst to 'whatever' was said?" or "is what michel doing consistend with 'whatever' was said?".)

Why is the MSM so affraid of this.

By the MSM standards the depressed democrats after the 2004 election should have all gone to hospice because "nobody" would want to live under another Bush administration.

[rdb3]

It's not weird at all. It's only logical when you have the same ideological enemies.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, remember?

We are our brains. The rest of our body exists to carry the brain and to obey its instructions.

So those with less brainpower are less human, less worthy of life?

Very disturbing. I kept checking the sign-up dates for the many FReepers who were rapidly pro-death for Terri Schiavo. Many of them had been here since the early days. It's made me reassess what constitutes "conservative."

[thoughtomator]

The enemy of my enemy is my friend, remember?

Not in the Middle East... there, the enemy of one's enemy is an enemy, round and round ad infinitum.

If CERTAIN sexual behavior gets enhanced deference under the law. (medical, special civil rights)

AND

If CERTAIN thoughs get enhanced punshment under the law

THEN

The MSM and the left could easily adopt the USSR concept of political disagreement equals insanity, low quality of life, and Noooooobody would want to live as a conservative, republican and especially a conservatvie or republican who votes that way since society is over 247% liberal.

[thoughtomator]

I kept checking the same thing, and I was shocked to think that some of those very same people might have been standing next to me cheering on the speakers at the first March for Justice back in 1998.

Sorry, but he was 100 percent correct on what constitutes hearsay. a first person tells someone who tells someone else, if the someone else testifies, it is hearsay. Testimony from a person who says they heard it direct from the first person is not hearsay otherwise no evidence would ever stand up in court.
