How a jurist-who is sworn to uphold the law-can legally sanction the premeditated murder of someone who has never consented to this process is beyond me.

The loss our wonderful country has suffered today may never be recovered.

God help us all.

Something keeps going through my mind. This reminds me of when Princess Di died... the public displays of profound sadness by people who did not even know either Princess Di and now Terri.

If the rest of us feel such sadness, imagine how those who loved her best must feel. While we all feel sadness, our prayers must be most especially with her family.

I think we all feel such sadness, for many reasons, but mostly because we see in Terri, the faces of those we love and hold most dear to us. We cannot imagine and don't want to see one's we love suffer.

To be sure, Terri has served a purpose much greater than herself.

>>Are we not all to blame in some way for allowing this country to fall so far from one that honors life, through lack of prayer, and lack of activism?

>>I changed political parties after 32 years. I saw the Democrats as worshipers of death. I saw the Republicans as the party of life.

>>I never in a million years would have thought that they would sanction her murder by an adulterer husband, and a runaway leftist judge. They could have intervened.....and didn't. They have to live with that now.<<

And now you have to live with your membership in the Republican party -- unless, that is, that you finally see that neither the Dems nor the GOP is for you...

What will it take for people to get it? You don't have to be either one or the other. People are such sheep.

2Timothy 4: 6-8
For I am even now ready to be sacrificed: and the time of my dissolution is at hand. I have fought a good fight: I have finished my course: I have kept the faith.
As to the rest, there is laid up for me a crown of justice which the Lord the just judge will render to me in that day: and not only to me, but to them also that love his coming.

This is a sad day.

Jeb and Goerge did all that they personally felt was right and within the law for them to do.

You know, I've been trying to be peaceable about this in my heart, but I cannot stand it anymore. Let's read from the Declaration of Independence, shall we?

"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

THIS NATION IS NOT A NATION FOUNDED UPON AND BOUND BY FALLIBLE HUMAN LAW BUT ON THE INALIENABLE RIGHTS EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING IS ENDOWED WITH BY GOD AND ANY TIME A LAW OF GOVERNMENT DENIES THESE RIGHTS IT IS INHERENTLY UNJUST AND WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO FIGHT IT!

Our Founding Fathers gave their lives for this principle. What have we done? Sit around and wash our hands of the matter because we believe an intepretation of man-made law prohibits us from doing anything? "The law doesn't allow" is not an excuse Adams, Washington, Hamilton, or John Jay would except.

Where are all the Federalists?

Yes, this is the clarion call to those of us who watched this process in disgust. I intend to become involved in seeing to it that goons like Felos/Greeer/M.Schiavo can no longer 'get off' on watching an innocent die by starvation and thirst. (... and probably a good dose of morphine).

We must see that those responsible are brought to justice of some kind whether it be ostracism, impeachment or whatever. If we don't deal with them, I think God will deal with all of us.

Priest blasts Schiavo's husband as 'heartless'

Parents' adviser issues bitter denunciation outside hospice

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7347028/

Michael Schiavo’s “heartless cruelty” in insisting that his wife’s feeding tube be removed so she would die continued to the end of her life as he refused to let the woman’s parents be with her at the end, said the Rev. Frank Pavone.

Pavone said Mary and Bob Schindler, who had battled Michael Schiavo for years to keep their daughter's feeding tube in place, wanted to be with their daughter when she died. They were with Terri Schiavo until 10 to 15 minutes before her death, but were then asked to leave, Pavone said.

"And so his heartless cruelty continues until this very last moment,” he said.

“This is not only a death, with all the sadness that brings, but this is a killing, and for that we not only grieve that Terri has passed but we grieve that our nation has allowed such an atrocity as this and we pray that it will never happen again,” the priest added.

At least we haven't killed millions, like the NAZIs.

By the time the Nazis started in on the Jews, Gypsies, etc. they had already starved to death about 500,000 "defective." So today we have made a beginning it would seem.

A horrendous murder by medieval means by the state. Woe to all of us...

How dreadful for the Schindlers to watch their daughter die like this. It used to be "No man is safe while the legislature sits."

It's the judges...

If Michael intended on marrying Jodi in a Catholic ceremony I hope the Church excommunicates him before he can.

I thought that California voters had resoundingly rejected an "assisted suicide" referendum, when it was placed before the voters, back in 1990.

Rewriting historical motives for Reagan will not make Bush look any better.

I didn't say anything about Reagan's motives.

The fact is that he pulled all of our troops out of Lebanon when 243 Marines were murdered.

Bush would not have left that action unavenged.

"But he should never have announced he had the authority, and then failed to immediately use it."

"If he would now do as you say, and remove some judges, and reform the laws, he would regain some moral authority in my eyes."

We have seen what he didn't do, and now we will wait to see what he will do.

Thanks, Tonk.
The lady fought a gallant effort against the odds that were stacked against her. Not her physical impairments for I believe her will would have overcome given the help, love, and therapy that she needed. But the odds of living when at least 3 people wanted to see her dead and had the authority (from where, needs further investigation) to make it happen.
They have succeeded and I am all for a complete accounting of those whose decisions that appear to be based on their own best interests brought this tragedy about.
May Michael, Judge Greer and the attorney Felos be exposed for their self-centered agenda and may the blood of Terri be eternally on their heads.
I pray for Bob and Mary Schindler and their loss. I feel that their faith in the American judicial system kept them from taking more drastic steps to save the daughter they loved. The system let them down. If and when another case of this magnitude becomes an issue, may God and life loving Americans do the right thing to see that life is preserved and justice prevails.
