Calling them "police" is wrong. They are exactly the same as Death Camp Guards.

This is an asinine statement. They are there to prevent people from violating the peace. Out at the circus grounds, there are a number of prodeath people and protesters, with a huge contingency of attention getters and MSM dweebs. Without the police there would be a fistfight, with reporters egging people to punch harder off camera, and special reports displaying the death match for all the channels on the failure of the Bushes to stop people from fighting. Jesse Jackson can referee, and we can nominate him or the 2008 Republican Candidate.

If you think the majority of these people are out there to save Terri, take a ride down here, and look for yourself.

I think it was Sunday, when the narcissists on the news came on and announced that they were making plans to protect the Children, and when I read here on FR about the photographers, it finally came together.

This isn't about Terri anymore, this is about manipulating public opinion to elect Democrats in 2008, and killing the Prolife movement. Some Republicans and most Democrats have been trying to do this for years. This is the chance, and people are falling for it.

A protester was out there in an odd outfit with piercings all over her face. She was on TV, saying how she could save Terri, and this was jump cut with a woman in a rage. It is all there for the two minutes hate, designed to kill prolife as a political issue.

It is barbaric to starve a young woman, to kill infants in the womb, to inject the disabled with morphine, and to call suicide an act of mercy.

It is the height of stupidity to think the police presence is akin to oppression, when none of these people even gave this issue a thought before the cameras arrived. People out there are being duped by liberals in the MSM into playing a role, and laying the groundwork for a Democratic victory against conservatives.

Oh, that explains it all.

The MSM conspiracy.

Look, I have no use for the MSM. But it's ridiculous to assign guilt or blame to pro-life protesters (no matter how they dress) for what you suppose will be a Dimowit victory in '08.

Calm down.

Dear Dominick,

"They are there to prevent people from violating the peace."

The police are also there to enforce an illegal order that will lead to the murder of an innocent human being.

The police also chose to DISOBEY a lawful order to stand down, given by the state police on the part of the actual chief law enforcement officer of the state of Florida. Thus, the police cannot even make the claim that they were just following orders. Unless you count that they seem to think they are permitted to pick and choose.

As to the ultimate fall-out, it remains to be seen. I don't even know for myself what I will be thinking once this death charade is done. I will re-evaluate whether or not it is appropriate to continue to support the Republican Party. After all, not being pro-death is not quite the same as being pro-life. Ask the Whigs.

This affair crystalizes for many some questions. Such as, whether we are a nation of laws, and checks and balances, or whether we are ruled by an unchecked judiciary, and the law is what the black-robed masters say it is. Currently, it appears to be the latter. Another question is whether most of our politicians, Republican and Democrat, now accede to the doctrine of judicial supremacy. If that is the case, voting for the current crop of Republicans is little else than a delaying action. They will find judges who foist their own laws upon us, but laws that we will find more agreeable.

I don't really know what the answers are beyond the life or death of Terri. I do know that the Bush boys failed to use their legal, legitimate executive authority to directly save this woman's life.

I understand why they didn't. To act in that way would be to invite titanic struggles over basic constitutional issues for the rest of their terms. To act in that way would have been to harm the agenda for Social Security reform, tax reductions, etc. And against those great corporal works of mercy, who are we to insist on the life of one innocent woman?

Police officers, along with the medical staff of the hospice, are endowed with consciences. What the police are protecting and the medical staff are facilitating is the judicially sanctioned execution of Terri Schiavo. The Bible states, "Thou shalt not kill." If the Pinellas Park PD or the sheriff's office, from the chiefs down to the rookies, and the hospice staff, from the chief of staff down to the laundry workers, were moral persons, they should resign their positions before being required to assist in killing this woman. Her blood will be on their hands as well on those of Judge Greer, Michael Schiavo, George Felos, et. al.

I'm talking about the death camp guards who stand in her room when her mother is there and prevent her from giving a drop of water to her daughter dieing of thrist.

Do you find that "official" behavious assine? I find it inhumane -- murderous, sociopathic, illegal and a mockery of any oath they took or uniform they wear.
