Defying all odds Terri is still alive.
Are you being targeted for euthanasia? (Schiavo case only the tip of the iceberg!)
Schiavo parents plan new US Supreme Court appeal
Florida lawmaker says he will consider impeaching Schiavo Judge Greer
ok found one thanks. Can someone call him and tell him to check his email for the 'Exit protocol? Thanks again.
I just called Mr. Delay's office to express gratitude and to tell him he's got backing. The woman on the other end was very near tears and said thank you and she'd pass the message along.
God bless you and your precious son.
You may be right, in fact I think you are. We Conservatives turn our back to often to avoid confrontation. it is time for us to step up and fight back!
Can I ahve Delay's number??? I want to call as well!
Rush is exposing the death ghouls on the board of the hospice.
you have to be a subscriber and it is a form- not an email addy
give me the links-- I will send them.
I'm so angry right now that I can't cry. A judge who should be using the law to protect people successfully executed a disabled innocent woman.
SCHIAVO DEATH SEEN AS A WATERSHED FOR U.S. AND THE SPIRITUAL EQUIVALENT OF 9/11
By Michael H. Brown
http://www.spiritdaily.com/schiavoreflections.htm
It's a shocker, for sure, and a watershed. America was always that country where the right thing happened in the end, where someone somewhere at some level of society or government came through when needed to come through.
Those days have ended, and so perhaps have the days of America's greatness.
Certainly for the moment, it is no longer a great country. It is the country I love. It is the country in which I choose to remain. And it remains better than most countries.
But it is no longer a great nation because a great nation does not allow a woman who has awareness and whose parents are fighting tooth and nail to take care of her to be dispatched in cold blood at the behest of a frigid system of justice that also kills babies.
Good luck, America. We are all to blame. We all let it happen by not caring about what was going on around us -- by sitting back and sloughing everything off as long as we had our remote controls, our cell phones, our cars, our fast food (and plenty of that: we eat potato chips while watching a woman starve).
Home of the brave? There wasn't too much bravery, not in this case, which is the moral equivalent, the spiritual equivalent, of September 11; a true watershed. The bright spot is her heroic parents and the fact that she died a martyr, the best way anyone could die. Others of us may also be called one day soon to make this sacrifice.
Even at this early hour, let us predict that the story will hardly die here (this is the Scopes Trial of euthanasia) and there is plenty to investigate, including the many players in this drama who had ties with the hospice, with hospice board members, or with the various euthanasia movements, including the Hemlock Society. Was Terri in the clutches of a little cabal of euthanasia proponents? There are also political connections to investigate. More on this later.
It is such a serious case that I must express extreme befuddlement with the U.S. bishops. We have a policy here of obedience. Bishops should be both respected and obeyed. We don't wish to violate that; we don't wish to criticize them. They are good men. They are our superiors. But this is one time when we have to voice a loud concern:
If anyone should have been on top of this thing, if anyone should have been at the hospice, if anyone should have been twisting arms, it was the Catholic bishops of the United States.
Yes, a Cardinal spoke on their behalf at one point, a number of them, at least forty, came out with statements by Wednesday supporting the Schindlers, and a spokeswoman for the U.S. bishops made a remark earlier this week in her favor -- but by this time Theresa Maria Schiavo had been off food and water for more than a week. By this time, too, the Vatican had protested what was happening a dozen times, and loudly -- far louder than the bishops in the U.S.
Thank God for Rome. Thank God for those who cared at the Vatican.
I have to specifically mention the Bishop of St. Petersburg -- who of course supported the Vatican's position but who throughout the long crisis had painfully little to say about the Schiavo debacle and whose stand seemed that of neutrality. He was in Indonesia -- thousands of miles from Pinellas Park, surveying tsunami damage -- when Terri died. The other day, he found himself in the middle of another quake.
Here we had good, practicing, and in fact devout Catholics fighting for the life of their daughter under stricture of the Vatican itself -- under its guidelines that feeding and water are not to be removed -- and they find no support from their local bishop nor from local priests who reportedly were ordered to remain away from the situation.
All those folks out there with pictures of the Immaculate Heart and Divine Mercy and the Shroud and everything else, treated like outcasts.
"It happened at 11:11 Indonesia time. I had already gone to bed and was sound asleep and felt my bed moving side to side and knew they were having another earthquake," the bishop told a newspaper from his hotel in Chennai, India, where he had just arrived early Wednesday.
Again, I apologize for these observations, but events demand them. The bishop has also barred Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in the diocese, which may be one reason it is cloaked in darkness.
Dear bishops, we are confused, disappointed; nearly frightened. Do we respect you? We remain in obedience -- to you, to all bishops. But if you are not going to become involved in this, the biggest pro-life issue since 1973, what is the sense of being involved in anything? We know you are good men and under much pressure, often under-appreciated, but we are deeply, deeply concerned with the way at least some of you have succumbed to the institutions and conventions of the world, which Jesus told us is under the sway of the evil one.
That's the dark side.
The bright side is that Terri Schindler has been transformed into a glorified spiritual body and looks better than the best photos of her, better than she did at her wedding. She is radiant and with Christ and certainly concerned for those of us who have to remain in the world. What a sacrifice she made! What a sacrifice!
I don't know about the girlfriend, but one thing I do know is that MS, if he has even a smidget of a conscience, is going to huanted with this the rest of his life. He will never live a normal life in any sense of the word. Then there is Judgment, unless he repents
My Dad was a WWll vet too. He was born in 1912, the same year the titanic went down. A hard working, Tennessee mountain man.
Thanks for the good advice,enjoy your dad while he's here.
Ask him all the questions, what was his mother's maiden name,his grandmothers maiden name, his first kiss[he'll get a kick out of that question]when he looked out the back door when he was a kid what did he see.
I see other families nowadays and I thank G-D that two good honest people raised me.
I got it sent thanks now we just need to get him to go check his email.
Definitely Mark Levin spoke out for Terri, as did Laura Ingraham, both of them lawyers.
does anyone have the account of Terri being denied communion yesterday? or did I get this wrong? My friend says that she was given communion. I heard or read that it was denied her. Was that a statement from the FR. that went in with the family last night? sorry for my igorance here.
okay
glad you got it..
hope at least one of us can get through!!!
