Still Waiting

I don't know about anyone else, but I am still waiting for Michael Schiavo to make a correction on his blog about what "actually" took place in Colorado when he went there (to the debate) to supposedly ask Congresswoman Musgrave one question and she and her staff supposedly tried to have him removed. He called it, "My unreal night in Colorado - with radio link" (Thu Oct 26, 2006 at 08:05:14 PM PST). I'll say (from what I read) that it was his "unreal night".

As I said before in "Standing up and Admitting a Mistake: Not Schiavo's Style?",  if four uniformed officers were around my seat, I would have some idea of what was going on. I certainly wouldn't be sitting in "duh mode" to only be told later of what took place right there around me, as Michael suggests he was. If Michael's account is realistic -- his response and reaction is not. Nor is his response appropriate now that he has "learned" what he was "allegedly told" is not what took place. One would think if he can't get the words out that he was mistaken, he could at least have removed the inaccurate entry from his blog.

He has done neither.

I'm also still waiting to read about, "Also, maybe tomorrow I'll post about my election-eve rally with Bill Clinton in Florida." (A real election impact by Michael Schiavo, Thu Nov 09, 2006 at 10:40:34 AM PST).  Indeed, I would love to read that story by Michael, since I read it was not possible. Not if he was implying it was the Bill Clinton that is the former President of the United States. Will be interesting to see what he says about that if he ever does.

If Michael couldn't get it straight what happened at the Musgrave debate or even if he spent election-eve with former President Bill Clinton -- do you suppose he might have gotten Terri Schiavo's wishes mixed-up as well? (He does claim to have a bad memory from what I read.) Makes one wonder. At least makes me wonder. Whatever...

I'm still waiting for the corrections if not the explanations!

For those who don’t remember Argo is the same person who submitted the anti-Terri question.

Argo is consistently pro-death.

DU and moveon.org probably tell their lefty posters to vote for lefty questions, and we can counteract that by voting for the decent questions, thereby putting the lefty questions closer to the bottom.

ALSO, I searched social issues, and there are pro-life questions (as well as Catch 22 antilife questions) to ask the presidential candidates at the GOP debate on May 3 here:

http://dyn.politico.com/debate/showquestions.cfm?CurrentPage=1&sb=mp&cd=0&tp=10

As of now, they are mostly on page 1 (but they could be on any of the 5 pages), if you wish to vote for the the pro-life ones.

btw, I don’t THINK you have to register to vote (but you definitely need to register to submit a question).

[8mmMauser]

I voted without registering. Looks like DU and lefties are stacking it.

Talking of ANS, Howard K. Stern reminds me of of Mickey.

[8mmMauser]

Lots of similarities, but I bet he is kinder than Mickey.

More Obama Nations...

It reminds me of some of the part time conservatives who recently departed FreeRepublic.

One donor to Mr. Obama professing sincere disillusionment with Mr. Bush is an investment banker from Chicago, John Canning of Madison Dearborn Partners. "It's not an isolated trend. It appears to be a significant wave," he said. "I know lots of my friends in this business are disenchanted and are definitely looking for something different."

In 2004, Mr. Canning was a Bush Pioneer, meaning he pledged to raise $100,000 for the president's re-election. However, he told the Sun that his support for Mr. Bush was already fading at that time. "I was probably unenthusiastic, but not as strongly as I am now," Mr. Canning said. He said he ended up not voting at all. "It wasn't like I thought Kerry was a good deal."

Mr. Canning, whose defection to Mr. Obama was reported by Bloomberg News, said he was a big fan of Mr. Bush in 2000. However, he said he later fell out with the president and other Republicans over a dispute involving a brain-injured Florida woman, Terry Schiavo, as well as subjects like global warming, stem cell research and diplomatic relations with Iran and Syria. "A lot of these issues didn't exist when Bush first ran," the banker said. "How do you support a guy when he shows the door to everything you believe in?"

Terri's Legacy and FreeRepublic

The long winter is finally over, spring is here (or here in Maine, threatening to start...) and the month of April closes.

Most all of you have now visited the huge thread by Jim Robinson, which has become known as the spring cleaning thread or bug zapper thread. I pinged it a couple times before here. This thread is already just under 16,000 posts and has already had 350,847 views. Although the topic may be disturbing for some, it has a direct and positive effect on us, what has happened in the past to us, and the future. It sets the way for a pure and decent atmosphere for us all, in union with the principles of life and Terri's Legacy we support.

Many have departed FReepdom directly resulting from this thread, some known widely as ok folks because of their outward appearance, some because of their true hostility to values we hold close. Perhaps there was even collateral loss, although I have witnessed none. We have seen, and have defended against ugly attacks in months past, sometimes wondering why others did not see the same meanness of those posters. Many unmasked only to us, some succeeded in harming our threads.

We can remember the times they tag teamed us and surrounded us with attack portraying us as the bad guys and painting upon us the very traits they, themselves exhibited. For these types the thread has been a rout. They showed their true colors and streamed out to form their own lairs. These types, I termed FReeper Sleepers some time back fell back on their longevity here to be understood as credibility and many of us fell for it. Although they were here all the while as agitators under cover, they gained confidence allowing them to attack sometimes with impunity, making the victims appear to be at fault. I am sure and sorry that a great many who would have supported Terri were driven away by threads which looked as nothing more than DU food fights. It was no accident.

Meanwhile we stuck to our principles, and continued. Many of us who fought back, defending our principles were portrayed as mean spirited and unfair, even though we simply defended what was right. The agitators are gone, most, but not all. The remaining will be quieter now, for awhile, but one day, those, too, will expose their faces.

Meanwhile, Terri's Legacy continues today to play a watershed in national politics, similarly unmasking intentions as already happened with Obama Nation and with Rudy.

Like a sausage factory, it might be better to appreciate the results than to see how it is made. Here is the classic thread:

Will FR embrace socialism to make way for Rudy Giuliani as a Republican presidential candidate?

In this epic battle of good versus evil, we can always expect evil to appear, but for now, all is calm.

A new day and new month begin tomorrow, a day of sunshine (even if hidden by the rain...) and optimism. God bless FreeRepublic. God bless Terri's Legacy.

Wagglebee thread. Thanks, too, narses.

......................................

Lying is at the heart of all injustice, as yesterday's Communists talked of "equality" and provided equally miserable conditions or today's Islamists deny the holocaust ever occurred while plotting a new one. Here in America, as Kathleen Parker makes abundantly clear in her column today, the advocates of unrestricted abortion have deliberately used sterile language to conceal the nature of the act which eventuates in the death of a developing human being. Parker introduces her readers to such expressions as "disarticulate the fetus'' and even "reduce'' or "separate the fetal calvarium.''

Herewith, a brief translation:

Disarticulating a fetus, which sounds like suspending a pre-born's instant-messaging privileges, means to dismember it. Reducing a calvarium -- a thoroughly desirable-sounding procedure, like lancing a boil -- means to suck the brains from the baby's head. Separating the calvarium means to sever the head with scissors.

Thread by Rutles4Ever. Thanks, narses. Warning, please note alert!

....................................

My belief in the ultimate sociological, emotional and practical necessity for abortion did, as I have mentioned before, become even stronger after I had my two children. It is only after you have had a nine-month pregnancy, laboured to get the child out, fed it, cared for it, sat with it until 3am, risen with it at 6am, swooned with love for it and been reduced to furious tears by it that you really understand just how important it is for a child to be wanted. And, possibly even more importantly, to be wanted by a reasonably sane, stable mother.

Last year I had an abortion, and I can honestly say it was one of the least difficult decisions of my life. I'm not being flippant when I say it took me longer to decide what work-tops to have in the kitchen than whether I was prepared to spend the rest of my life being responsible for a further human being. I knew I would see my existing two daughters less, my husband less, my career would be hamstrung and, most importantly of all, I was just too tired to do it all again. I didn't want another child, in the same way that I don't suddenly want to move to Canada or buy a horse. While there was, of course, every chance that I might eventually be thankful for the arrival of a third child, I am, personally, not a gambler. I won't spend £1 on the lottery, let alone take a punt on a pregnancy. The stakes are far, far too high.

Thanks narses. Ping to a thread of a FReeper in distress and in need of prayers...

Just got finished from shift with 28yrs of caring for King Vanity who is a medically fragile quadroplegic.

We came home from Medical Center and have been working full board to keep him going.

Doc suggested we take him back to the Med Center for hospice arrangements.

>> Executives at businesses susceptible to government regulation regularly straddle the field

That's about all there is to this story. Lots of people donate to both sides, just in case.

Anybody who actually switched allegiance from Bush to Obama would be too woolly minded for statistics.

[T'wit]

I'm not sorry to see any of them go, and to have the door lock behind them. We here saw a hundred times, they came not to contribute, not to take part in civilized discussion, but only to harass and disrupt those who did.

Discussion is give-and-take. You listen, then you respond. You take the points raised into account. You can then reply, "Yes, that's a good point," or "Sorry, I can't agree, here is why."

Disruptors typically respond with an ideological script, or with insults -- or very often, with both. They are akin to "seminar callers." It's all a recital. When we reply with material that doesn't fit their script, they get confused and angry. Their replies become personal instead of addressing the facts and ideas under discussion.

Another quality of the disruptors is a dead giveaway that they are up to no good, namely, they have no humor. What a sorry view they have, not to be able to smile at anything. Good riddance to the humorless!

More on these matters as we go.

[8mmMauser]

The agitators would use mantras over and over, for effect, not for meaning. After a while, nothing more was original, but designed solely for emotional impact, to rile us and get us off guard. And, yes, when they fail, they get emotional. They respond knee jerk and use the old Marxist technique when losing the logic skirmish, resort to personal attack. And then, since they cannot see their own evil, they attack headlong, blindly, and unmasked.

That is what happened in buckets full on the bugzapper thread. They just could not help themselves, had to explode. I noticed as did you that a little humor, which they have no way of comprehending sets them off.

We shall see in coming days if the wounded and those in hiding emerge.

[8mmMauser]

I noticed your nifty new tagline.

[T'wit]

>> After a while, nothing more was original

Didn't take very long. If they recited the media mantra, they had a few paragraphs worth of kiddie talk. The media themselves present stories at something like the middle school level. I see no signs that reporters have higher IQ themselves. They simply repeat the lies they hear without investigating or thinking. None of this is worthy of adult discussion.

A few disruptors try to paste in everything at Matt Conigliaro's web site. That doesn't last too long either. I have nothing in particular against Matt, but he only does law and even that is done according to his agenda. The case is far deeper than legal decisions spun out by adversarial lawyers. Matt seems to have no sense of human nature or moral law; at least none that tempers his slavish support for the legal decisions he prefers. He does not see or admit how obvious the criminal aspects of the case are. If it did, it would turn the legal reasoning upside-down. Matt follows a simple strategy: deny, deny, deny, deny, deny.

[Dante3]

Some posts were so similar in not only message but sentence and vocabulary that I wondered if it was the same person or one person providing the others with talking points that they copied.

[bjs1779]

I think it may be him that wrote Terri’s entry on you know where. Most of the stuff I changed or added has already been deleted. I am not surprised btw. Micheal is a nice guy, and by golly, it is going to stay that way!

[T'wit]

That would prove that Matt’s site serves a political agenda rather than the truth. Not that there was much doubt of this. I think we should keep making wiki repairs. Perhaps people would get a glimpse of the truth from time to time :-)
