Polycarp rises from the ashes.
President Bush does not share our Catholic Values and is not Christlike. He refuses to hear and do anything about Terri Schindler Schiavo here in Florida after having been apprised that there is attempted murder against her. He has been down here countless time and yet has refused to visit her. All lines to the Whitehouse are apparently closed. Even the brother of this "great man" has not even asked him to step in or they both refuse to do what is necessary even after having been apprised of the facts with evidence definitely put into their possession. If Terri is murdered there will not only be me but thousands of others in a geometrical progression who will never let them forget. They better step in and stop the people trying to commit murder is all that I can say right now. And if they don't they do not have Catholic Values. Take this from a true Catholic.
If I speak untruth prove me otherwise.
I believe in the fight for Terri. I also believe G.W. Bush is a strong proponent for the pro-life cause. Jeb is involved in the fight for Terri, and President Bush is pro-life.
You may not agree with their methods of promoting a respect for life agenda, but the fact is they are pro-life, and considered so by their allies and enemies.
John Kerry's position wouldn't even allow Terri the opportunity to live--heck, I could envision John Kerry ordering federal marshals to go in and remove the feeding tube and stand guard over the poor woman while she starves.
I appreciate your passion to save innocent life. You have to realize others share that same value, but not necessarily your tactics.

That's not the point. Kerry has unequivocally stated that he would prevent RvW from being overturned. If Kerry can publicly be this vocal in support of a SCOTUS decision worse than Dred Scott, why the hell can't Bush/Cheney take the obvious pro-life stance that RvW is no better than Dred Scott and must be overturned? The GOP had the guts to fight dred Scott in its infancy 140 years ago. Why not now with RvW?
We are in agreement.
Then why don't they go visit her.. Or is Michael Schiavo too powerful for them to be able to do that? Gimmie a break.
Just wondering why they haven't stepped up to their duty of protecting her life is all. Not showing a very good example to other countries now are we?
You know, there are big picture issues involved when one is running an entire nation.
Where does President Bush stop working for re-election. Who else does he visit who is in dire straits?
Vicious attacks against your friends in the political arena is a really really good way to make it apparent you've abandoned all hope.
I pray for Terri, I pray for the President, and I pray all innocent life can be protected.
I'm confident this President is doing a much better job than the realistic alternatives.
We all do what we can. Give all of us some credit, will you? Pope John Paul II was in the USA a few months back. Are you going to lambast him for not visiting Terri? No. Certainly a visit from the vicar of Christ would be a boost for Terri's case. He didn't come, though. It doesn't make her life any less important...
just my thoughts.
RD
Well when it went national I and considering the facts of the case which controverts the courts that it would be important to them to go visit Terri and spend some time with her themselves. And yes I do think the Pope should go visit Terri. Why do I not have a right to be mad that when they have been apprised of what is going on they haven't used any of their powers or agents as representatives of those powers to go ahead and get this madness to stop? come hell or highwater?

Good luck with your rage.
RD
Whatever.
RD has a good point above & there is a much wisdom in BB's post 30.
We all need to either support the president this election or be prepared to submit to a Godless judicial oligarchy.
=== from the moment of conception
Or, whoever gets "closest" ... never mind the Soul Kill-Ratio assuming actual Personhood from the moment of conception.
Human farming certainly poised to make abortificient birth control (on which most of the world revolves in place these days) and even the Dross excess manufacture of artificial reproduction look like a drop in the bucket.
Which matters more? The money the deathists take in?
Such as Planned Parenthood's profits as well as underwriting from the state (as compared to the "out the door" budget of the NIH which Bush doubled prior to his decision on ESCR). I don't think the shifting of line items for abortion providers worldwide (particularly when our nation ENSURES "women's reproduction rights" as a first step in each of these "democratizations") compares to the NIH funding.
The number of Persons offed or "sacrificed" for humanitarian purpose?
Is there not something even more gruesome about truly dehumanizing a person into a "clump of cells" (see, Congressional Blue Ribbon Panel and NIH retraction of proposed human experimentation guidelines, Congressional Register, just after the ESCR decision) or referring to those siblings not implanted or surviving any in utero culling the "excess manufacture" of potential people?
I think I'd rather be slapped across the face and know I was alive than caressed by a Clean Hand, a dead man walking and whistling past a graveyard more often than not these days. A good may of the wombs, even, the site of an Atrocity or two.
Cannot bring this address up so decided to drop in and
post so I can find it.
