Politically, where does the lame-duck governor Bush go from here? He has alsready said that he will seek no office in 2006 and that he will not seek the presidency in 2008. So why is he concerned about his popularity ratings? Is he planning to push George P. Bush into politics later?

Maybe...just maybe they agree with this ruling? I haven't seen a lot of outrage. Just lots of, 'couldn't do more.' Is that possible?

My absolute FAVORITE of those. Anyone care to argue with TJ on this?:

"Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath?" --Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.XVIII, 1782. ME 2:227

Isaiah 41:17 - When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue faileth for thirst, I the LORD will hear them, I the God of Israel will not forsake them.

it was sunny with some clouds here in Eagle Rock,Ca. but I just heard that in the Pasadena area, just east of us, they are having a DOWNPOUR.

"I do wonder if the Lord is telling us something..."

I think He has been trying to tell us something for a long time....when are we going to listen?

I have to agree with all who have mentioned that the end times are sooner than later....Keep your eyes on the prize..Look up!

Blessings,

heard on streaming internet radio just now that Washington, D.C. is being hit with a horrendous thunder storm right now. heavy rains, heavy thunder claps. sky very very dark. very interesting. (4:35 p.m. Pacific) hopefully these thunder claps would wake up some of the 'brain dead' in our Congress to stand up for their rights, and stand up for Terri, and move to save her as in the appeal last night from the Florida hospice. i don't expect we can expect much from brother Jeb at this point.

FATHER FEARS DOCTORS WILL HASTEN TERRI'S DEATH

1 hour, 42 minutes ago U.S. National - AFP

PINELLAS PARK, United States (AFP) - The father of Terri Schiavo made a desperate, 11th hour appeal for authorities to reconnect a feeding tube to his severely brain-damaged daughter, and said he feared doctors might try to hasten her death.

"I have a grave concern that they'll expedite the process to kill her with an overdose of morphine," Bob Schindler told the press Monday outside the hospice where his 41-year old daughter is a patient.

"She's alive and she's fighting like hell to live," he added, remarking on his daughter's "amazing, amazing endurance."

Schindler added that when he visited his daughter Monday, she was "still showing facial expressions" -- among other signs of interaction.


"She's trying to talk but it's very, very subdued," Schindler said. "All we need, if it's not too late, is for someone to save her," he said.

Schindler made his plea on Schiavo's 11th day without food and water Monday, and with experts saying her death could come at any time.

Schiavo was given what could be her last communion Sunday as protesters opposed to allowing the woman die challenged police and blocked entry to the Florida hospice where she is cared for.

Relatives kept an Easter vigil near the woman throughout Sunday. Absent, however, was Schiavo's mother Mary Schindler, who failed for the first time since the feeding tube was removed on March 18, to take her place at Schiavo's bedside.

A family confidant said Mary Schindler was overcome with grief that, despite years of legal battles, she had been unable to save her daughter, who has been on life support since suffering brain damage 15 years ago.

Robert Schindler said Monday he also had had to overcome his fear of watching his daughter waste away.

"I was scared to death to go in there to see her, for fear of what I'd see. But she has just incredible strength to live," he said.

After Michael Schiavo gave permission for his wife to receive communion, a drop of holy wine was placed on Terri Schiavo's tongue, but she could not receive even a tiny piece of the host because her mouth was so dry, said the Father Tadeusz Malanowski, who administered the sacrament.

Michael Schiavo, insists that his wife should be allowed to die, and that she did not want to be kept alive artificially. Doctors have said she is in a "persistent vegetative state."

The family insists she could improve if given proper treatment, but their legal efforts, including getting a special law passed to have the tube reinserted have failed.

The battle has raged through the Florida's courts and legislature, but escalated after the US Congress stepped in and passed an unprecedented bill, quickly signed by President George W. Bush, allowing the case to be heard in federal court.

Since then, the family has suffered a string of court defeats including one on Saturday, when a state judge rejected the family's argument that Schiavo had tried to say "I want to live" before her feeding tube was removed.

Florida Governor Jeb Bush, the president's brother, said Monday he had exhausted his options in his efforts to save Schiavo.

"It just breaks my heart that we have not erred on the side of life," he said Monday, but reiterated that there was nothing within the law that he could do at this point.

"There is no means by which we can get involved more than we've already done," the Florida governor said. "My guess is there is very little left for the government to do."

--The Americans with Disability Act has been violated:--

They, unfortunately, get around that one too by claiming they are just enforcing Terri's right to refuse treatment.

See why that's so evil? They aren't doing anything. They are letting Terri do it to herself (through the agency of Terri's court approved guardian, who IMHO has some major conflicts of interest, but evidently not so that they are illegal by Florida law) while they give her drugs to make it smoother.

What an evil legal fiction.

Your SURE? Hmmmmmmmm, guess we know what Mr. Russell would think of you then...

Maybe he is right! Look all the way to the right of Greer's name...........says (copy from site):

George W. Greer Rm. 484, 315 Court Street Clearwater, FL 33756 (727) 464-3933 Circuit Probate 3

He is a probate judge. You told me that I was spreading lies about him being a probate judge. I would appreciate an apology.

A dark dark day for our Republic. March 28, 2005.

Not just on the east coast of the US apparantly, in D.C., etc., but for all of us, all due to the Florida Travesty and that this may well be Terri Schiavo's final day...and that it did not have to be that way if men of honor and power had taken simple, righteous action.
