Anyone that compares this to 9/11 or the OKC Bombing or the Bombing of the USS Cole or Kobar Towers or any other bombing needs to gripe on yourselves.
Will you people read what you are writing -- this is emotional but ask yourself how many innocent people have died at the hands of the terrorists? What is happening in Florida is wrong -- Judge Greer is evil IMHO along with Felos and the rest; however, you had better not step there. You had better look at the what the Congress and the President did and see how Randall Terry and those lawyers botched the original pleading to the District Court. They were more concerned with getting Judge Greer then anything else. Wrong track and even when pointed in the right direction by the District Judge in his ruling, they blew it again.
There is a big wide net of what has gone wrong but to say this is as bad as 9-11 or that the Bush brothers are bad for not breaking the law, ask yourself what you have become? Are we a Nation of laws, even bad laws that need changed, or do advocate anarchy? Where did some of you stand when Reno took Elian by force or the Branch Davidian Compound by force? Now you want President Bush to do the same?
Please step back from your computers, pray that Terri will be saved, but don't advocate President Bush or Governor Bush breaking the laws of this Nation. When President Bush took the oath of office, he didn't swear to uphold only the "good" laws, he swore to uphold the "laws" which meant good and bad. The President, the Congress, Governor Bush are doing all they can to help.
If anything is learned from this episode, perhaps it is that it would be better in the long run to vote for the Constitution Party slate of candidates.
Please stop trying to be a voice of reason when we're trying to be hysterical.
I want the Governor to intervene. And I still have hope that he can do it within the bounds of the law. I have to believe he's doing what he can and that he's just as frustrated as the rest of us.
Very well stated, Thanks Mom!
Are you saying it's relative? That we can't be passionate about one person's unjust torture and death because in other situations many people died? Also, Gov Bush and Pres Bush both swore to uphold the constitution which states unequivocally that we all, even Terri, have an unalienable right to life with which we are endowed by our Creator. Why is Terri's unalienable right being trampled on in the name of the "law" by ONE judge? If you start with relativism, then we shouldn't even worry about most crimes since usually, unless it's a mass murder, only one person is victimized. Why worry about the school shooting the other day, only 10 people died. Evil is evil, whether it involves one victim or 3,000.
I think you're seeing the embers of theocracy burning. Fanned the wrong way and it could be not good for our country.
Intrestingly, as I watched Fox News this morning, the arrest of the family was reported as "staged" by them telling the police that they were going to do what they did. I also read that there was no water in the cups they held, but rather it was symbolic. The "arrest" of the children got alot of press and alot of Freeper sympathy. Actually my heart went out to the family, because as misguided as they may have been had their attemtp been real, their heart and soul was in the right place. Then I heard it was staged. Further, they were with Flip Benham, another person hell bent on sound bites and stirring the pots of the faithful.
Our county does need revival. But kooks like Benham and his followers like Daubenmire and this family only stain the credibility of those whose faith is scripture based rather than self based and using scritpture to support it.
