Here he is, Mayor Moonbeam of Oakland, but the seal on the lectern is for CA governor, and the red star flag behind him is probably Communist North Korea.

Terri's Day and nation's independence protects life culture
Kevin Fobbs May 29, 2006
America's Culture of Life is truly the legacy of one woman whose death forever changed our nation because of actions that were not in her hands but in those of her husband and his lawyers. Yet for millions of Americans we will forever link our own celebration of our nation's independence to the courage of the Schindler family to go forward past the tragedy, past the personal sorrow, past the searing anguish to help America draw a distinct line in the sand, to issue a clarion call to America.
Our 4th of July is coming... Our Culture of Life Independence Day is on its way. Our month of Independence is a message that March 31st (Terri's Day) will signal, that July 4th will signal... and that the month of July will signal to defend the Culture of Life before we lose it forever.
When we talked with our family members or even our neighbors or our friends we may have spent but a moment reflecting upon why we are even gathered on a Memorial Day afternoon. Do we think about the sacrifice of our soldiers and of their families? Do we think about the long goodbyes which are never long enough... as the military families send their loved ones to war, to battle, to stand firm for our freedoms... for our life... for our nation and its values of faith?
How does Terri Schiavo and her legacy tie into this? Terri's legacy and Terri's Day is a representation of a right to live, and freedom to have the liberty to not have it compromised away, devalued by inconvenience, or litigated away by judges who celebrate a culture of death that would rob life from the womb, steal life from a hospital or hospice bed, and destroy and shatter a family's love for a daughter, a sister and aunt who was given a gift from God, but had it separated from her as easily as an ant would have its life take by an uncaring shoe... extinguished forever.
The families who send their loved ones off to war have to wonder as well, does America value their sacrifice? The families of the military have to wonder just where does its society draw the line on its values? A soldier who is in battle in Iraq or Afghanistan has to wonder if a Florida judge can take away the life of an innocent, what is the measure of his life? Would a judge in America suddenly decide that if he were injured, if he had to sacrifice a limb that the protesters outside his hospital bed would have more rights than he would or his family? Would this soldier have to wonder that if he or his fellow soldier were killed in battle, that upon their return that the protesters who would stand outside of his funeral... have more rights to be protected than the rights his family would have to a military burial with honor?
You see, the Culture of Life is about Terri Schiavo, because Americans now have to examine the life of our culture itself. We have to wonder if we as a nation of Christians and of a nation of faith and of a nation of compassion would allow for a state to murder an innocent woman and strip her family of their loved one then as a nation would we allow America to have other symbols of life, of our nation to be peeled away as well, all in open sight and in plain view of a dispassionate nation?
What does our American Culture mean if we allow millions of illegal aliens to literally browbeat us into submission by demanding that because they have stolen across our borders, demanded and received protection from local law enforcement in numerous cities throughout the U. S., obtained free or reduced educational opportunities by state public colleges that our own children could not qualify to receive the same financial aid assistance for. Are we that defenseless to let illegals strip our state coffers of housing assistance for loans and mortgages when tens of thousands in almost every state in America have legal citizens who are homeless, impoverished, or working poor or middle class Americans who need similar assistance but cannot receive it. And they are legal! They are citizens! They are Americans.
What is so wrong about our nation when we are so ready to compromise our freedoms, our culture's life, the life of an innocent and the taking of any life is the taking of our own children's life and their child's. And with each successive generation the nation and its life, its values, its traditions, and its language will disappear because we as Americans were too preoccupied — too narrow — to see that an illegal alien was taking your child's education, that a crusading death culture judge was preparing a bed, a room, a legal precedent to take your child, grandchild or sister or parent.
That is why I have stayed my course to defend the Culture of Life and to ask my fellow Americans to begin to understand that as Terri Schiavo's life was slowly ebbing from her body and as her mother Mary, father Bob, sister Suzanne, and brother Bobby waited in the Florida early morning air on March 31st, 2005, America was having part of its soul ebb away as well.
What will it take to spark an interest, a concern, and a passion for protecting one's own life? Some may say that it would take a clear and present danger — like tanks rolling down your neighborhood street or another 9/11 that strikes at the heart of America. Do we have the convenience to wait? Do we wait until a state legislature in Maine or California or Delaware or Ohio or Illinois decides that your mother's decision to live is determined by a hospital "bean counter" who decides that your mother's life is not based upon a "Will To Live" but an ability to pay her bill? What about a baby, not born, but already set for murder in the womb — not because the mother is pro-life or pro-death but because "the law" says the unborn baby's life is expendable because the baby's genes are determined to be part of a class or a group or a race or of an ethnicity which pre-programs the child, un-born, to death?
America is being murdered in small pieces. It is seeing its values, its life, its culture disemboweled with the finesse of a skilled surgeon. And it is America's poll takers and its legislators and its uncaring, disinterested, and uninvolved who are handling the scalpel. Take the scalpel away. Contact www.Terrisfight.org to join the Foundation's battle to educate America about the right to live. Go to Terri's Day on www.kevinfobbs.com to learn about new updates on Terri's Day and the event to celebrate the Culture of life.
So on Independence Day and Independence month of July will we have any Americans who will sign up and join the Culture of Life movement in their community? Even if it is to sign a pledge, hand out a flyer, become aware of legislators and judicial candidates who have agreed to stand firm for the Culture of Life — a crusade that is based not only upon the life of Terri Schiavo's legacy but equally crucial based also upon the legacy of the right to live, to defend our culture and the life of its values.
Terri's Day is not the end of a national movement but the beginning of a national contract with itself to stand for a future that our nation can guarantee for its children and for a culture that will insure life. The right to live will be Terri's legacy — our legacy... one nation under God. Join us in your homes, on your family picnics, out camping and celebrating July 14th and 15th ... Our American Culture of Life belongs to each and every one of us... We must protect it. Let's celebrate together.

Jeb Bush is clamping down tight before the September 5th primary. By moving the legal counsel for Medicaid, Christa Calamas to ACHA, Jeb has the same individual (insider) to make sure that Medicaid and ACHA are on the same page. This was in today's paper. I didn't know she was coming from Medicaid.
I don't think Jeb can't keep all the plates in the air spinning but he's certainly giving it a good try.
Certainly, if Medicaid and ACHA's records match, it won't reflect on Jeb if he thinks he's going to be vice president or somethin' like that. The records may eventually match but Terri's still dead and Florida killed her for Michael Schiavo.
Covering up Medicaid fraud got Christa a promotion. That's Florida for you. DCF Attorney McKibben who pretended to help Terri in court was promoted to Judge by Jeb.
NON-TERRI***** SIERRA CLUB ENDORSES CHARLIE CRIST. BY THE WAY, THE SIERRA CLUB ENDORSED CHARLIE CRIST... Just wait until the ACLU endorses him and my point will be verified that Charlie Crist is no conservative. He's a lefty RINO, an imposter conservative. Seems that Crista Calamas, Esquire, is going to ACHA to button things down and there's always the business of protecting Charlie Crist. What does Crist have on Jeb? They used to be close friends, now they're not.
The Orlando attorney who didn't invite Crist to a Christian Coalition event a few weeks ago is at it again too. He slammed Crist recently. I have it in an email and it was in today's Tampa Tribune. John Stemberger is going to keep up the attack on Charlie Crist. Good for him.
Wow, I read that Stemberger called Crist an imposter. (I just wrote that in my last post) Many Floridians who know Crist and even voted for him for Fla AG do not support him.
Web Site Conservative Weekly... "Crist, Stemberger contends, is "a conservative impostor" whose "principles arise out of political expediency."
he then goes on to compare Crist to California's Jerry Brown where California's voters chose "a culture of instant gratification, promiscuity and secularism over a culture of principle, family and faith traditions. They ... are paying for it with high rates of abortion, drug use, divorce, crime and school dropouts."
Fregards to California freepers. I believe Jerry Brown was pre-Free Republic.

Tthe Chinese Communists who are showing their heels to the world in organ harvesting from executed religious prisoners. Oh, how our own homegrown leftists would love to do this to the Christian right! Kill the enemy and sell his organs into the bargain!
What is your take on that T'wit? From the pics I have seen there is no way the corneas could be harvested. Maybe they have advanced to slicing their throats now. There are many things we could learn from the Muslims.
Oh, that's nice. Keep it in the family. Well, look at Durham, NO, and too many cities/counties to recall. It's beginning to look all the same.
LOL @ Sierra Club. C'mon Charlie, be proud of that ringing endorsement!
Gallagher reminds me a lot of Tom McClintock. Both are solid conservatives.
That's pretty bad when someone compares you to ol' Jerry, hahahaha!
They don't have to kill to harvest corneas. They just sedate the prisoners and pluck out their eyes.
Here he is, Mayor Moonbeam of Oakland, but the seal on the lectern is for CA governor, and the red star flag behind him is probably Communist North Korea.
Okay, that's not funny, but I'm laughing anyway because it's true! Nope, that's our state flag. Grizzly bear and a red star. Someone posted a hilarious photo shopped version with the bear chasing illegals :)
> Nope, that's our state flag.
And how do you tell the difference between North California and North Korea? Pyongyang and Berkeley are like sister cities, and even the North Koreans have nothing to match Arcata.
There sure is a lot of corruption.
There is a lot of corruption and now we find out that Judge Greer is a registered agent for over 50 companies. I'm not sure at this point if that's even legal for him to do. I won't say where the info is because Greer has a way of getting things on the internet deleted.
When Hong Kong was given back to the Chinese from the British, I had a sick feeling. Remember Prince Charles went over there to do the handover? Or to hand the corneas, kidneys, livers, hearts and lungs over?
That wouldn't be much of a conflict. They could always put the blind prisoner in a cell until they needed the rest of his organs.
Gruesome.
Maybe there should be a FreeRepublic poll if this is right or not...
:-)
You are on to something. I suggest that we should start a movement to adopt the pluck-'em-all strategy on death row inmates. Where those guys are going, they don't need eyes anyway. They might as well donate their eyes to deserving, desperately needy patients waiting for the transplants. Convicts who become leftist pets like Tookie Williams and Mumia Abu-Jamal should be the first to get plucked.
I think they should also donate their testicles. That would be particularly useful for ones who think they will get 72 virgins.
Book's in the mail, priority.
Sure. And we could get Dr. Thogmartin to testify that they never could see anyways...
