We know there are trolls here who are pretending to be fighting for Terri's cause and trying to win favor from Freepers with mostly the same techniques. IMO, they try to get us to believe they are on our side and then try to get us involved with contacting people with bad information, or emotional laden information. I have a few theroies about why.
On one hand the anti- Terri crowd can say we are over emotional , Christian, right wing freaks, driven by nothing more than emotion and zealotry. Secondly, I think they are trying to get us to ivade Ms's privacy, so they can stall in courts or at least make attempts to discredit us and our fight, while they figure out another way to starve Terri to death. I have seen this technique done on e-mail loops dedicated to helping Terri, and here at FR with known trolls who happen to be the same people.
We had a general warning about posting here and invading people's privacy based upon wheter a peson is a "public person or not",and threatening the lawsuits that could result. We know the privacy angle is an enjoyable angle for Felos and MS. We know they have already tried to discredit us on LKL as right wing, right to life freaks.
I would hate to play into their hands. That is why I was asking lone voice in the hinterwoods to be careful. I don't think she was around for all of that discussion, I would hate to see her put her energy into something, or encourage others to put their energies intosomething, that would help MS and get people into legal trouble.
We know Felos and MS at least lurk here, we know they at least encourage people to post here.
Let's just be careful about what information we take to the media ,and careful about why we are acting upon that information.
Jim and John, I am in awe of you. Y'all have provided one of the greatest services to America in our time, a time in which it is sorely needed. While I know that it must be an overwhelming task much of the time, you must be extremely proud of what you have accomplished as captain and co-captain of the mighty "Battleship Free Republic." I love you both for providing a place to not only come together as soldiers in the war to save America, but a sanctuary where our hearts can be strengthened, our skills honed and where the spirit of liberty can be nurtured. I look forward to the day when I can meet you both in person. Until then, *HUGE HUGS* of appreciation. Long live our Free Republic!
Congratulations to you, each and everyone of you for doing your part to focus America's consciousness on the most shameful abuse of authority in the history of American governance.
A total of one hundred and forty-seven ( 147 ) of you took the time to rally Americans within your sphere of influence to the gross injustice being perpetrated within one state of our great country.
While we shook a collective finger of distain at the State of Florida, we also recognize the greed of a financially lucrative body parts industry, and the incredulous potential for extortion of wealth from the elderly and similarly vulnerable victims within 'the system'. They are like clay in the hands of the unscrupulous leaches in government and organized religion in every state, county and community of our country.
In His way our Heavenly Father gave each of you a very special task of bringing this evil into the light. And you responded admirably in questioning the legitimacy and morality of actions taken by those acting in our name - actions no fair minded American Citizen would approve or condone.

Read it again. Slowly.

Jim Robinson and his family have steadily performed this Herculean task for years, and it's only when you take a hard look at a small (comparatively) body of work, as contained in Terri's Threads on FreeRepublic.com do you begin to grasp the volume of communication we 'expect' of them. Give it a minute to open up. It's a big file.
While at the same time it is at a time like this that I deeply sense the 'Terri' effort is a vivid representation the 'true grit' of the American spirit - our collective willingness to challenge injustice of any kind, anywhere.
I've got to tell you, I've got a tear in my eye right now about how proud I am to be able to call myself an American.
There are times when some of what we hear from foreigners about ourselves is true - that we may be a lot of things, but we will not - WE WILL NOT - stand by and watch anyone treated like they're more contemptible than the lowest creature on earth. Especially and I mean especially within our own Christian nation.
They took the manger away from us, and they've taken a lot away from us that made us proud of our flag and our country. But as for me, the Baby Jesus and the whole manger set will be on my front lawn this Christmas.
Once again, God bless each and everyone of you for all you're doing to stop the fast buck body snatchers and dumb ass politico's from attacking the very people who did their fair share when it was their turn to stand up for America.
They're old and defenseless now, and we owe them. We owe them big time to be sure they live that's l-i-v-e folks, NOT die with dignity.
Thank God Almighty for the presence of men and women like the Robinson family for creating FreeRepublic.com to give America a nudge once in a while. We're all too busy working a couple of jobs in every family to keep an eye on the dummies we misname. There is nothing 'honorable' about Judge Greer, and the trouble is the more we look into this sewer 'system' the more scum we're finding.
Once again FReepers, I want to take this time to say that in spite of the fact that it seems some of you have trouble getting your head through a doorway, it's obvious your heart's where it needs to be.
I'm glad to be walking with you!!!
