VANITY NOTICE: I've just learned that I am an "EXTREMIST!" WOO HOO!!
Nicest compliment I've received in a long time.
"Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice; moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue."
Y'all might want to be careful who you hang out with. If you are pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-constitution, pro-Liberty, pro-America and post to FreeRepublic.com, you risk being labeled as an "extremist."
That puts you in the company of extremist folks like George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Ben Franklin, & Co.
As extremists, "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."
Speaking of quotes from our extremist forefathers, someone sent me these this morning:
George Washington - "..And let us indulge with caution the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion... Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail to the exclusion of religious principle."
John Adams - "Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
James Madison - "We've staked the whole future of American civilization not on the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future ...upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God. The future and success of America is not in this Constitution, but in the laws of God upon which this Constitution is founded."
Noah Webster - "No truth is more evident to any mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people."
See you at the March for Justice!!
May God continue to bless and watch over America and all her extremists!
An extremist is one who bases their opinions on facts, not hyperbole
Little chance of reward. Left wide open for ridicule. Perhaps even a death threat now and then put on a few of us. Sounds great!
How many homes of our founding fathers were burned down? The homes of the original Minutemen? They suffered far worse than we do currently. And talk about health care problems. I guess we could ask them what poor health care was like, then.
We could suffer the same as they did one day, especially if we lose our grasp of Truth. "Seek the Truth, and the Truth will set you free!"
In this case, the alternative would have been allowing Michael Schiavo to exercise that power. Would that have made you feel better?
I just love it when you come out to play...lol.
You need a ping list.
I've been called a "bible thumpin" baptist (I'm Christian).
I guess I'll have to work harder.....
The state was not ordering death. It was simply determining whether TS's legal guardian had the power to order her feeding tube removed.
You need to make up your mind.
The court ended up making the final determination in this case.

The state was not ordering death.

So, in your mind, someone in a wheelchair is exactly the same as someone who is braindead and on a respirator?
I'm glad so many of us belong to this groups of religious zealots, fanatics, and stubborn extremists! : )
"That puts you in the company of extremist folks like George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Ben Franklin, & Co."
Oh, no! Not those Liberty-lovin' freaks, LOL! I love your site, Mr. R. It's the best forum I've come across in a very long time. Thank you! And yes, a Freep-a-thon check is in the mail. :)
Congrats!
FR rocks!
I readily awate your opus
Tell me where and when she was on a respirator.
Tell me when she was conclusively proven to be 'braindead'.
Give links.
You *can't* be that intellectually dishonest, can you??
Again, a matter of perspective. Terri Schiavo, for all intents and purposes, died 15 years ago.
Certainly not. The Florida Constitution guarantees a trial by jury to those who request it and that amendment makes no distinction between a civil or criminal trial.
Yes, but are you an Extremely Extreme Extremist??? ;-)
Yes, he can.
See the rest of his posts in thread.
See post 127 as well.
Make up your mind, either the state ordered her death or it didn't.
You've contradicted yourself.
WOuld it surpise you that there are people with virtually no cerebral cortex who score past the mean on Stanford-Binet?
What a sick response.
Carrying your post out to its logical conclusion would mean you believe anyone who is murdered by his/her spouse "deserved" it simply for marrying.
