Still Waiting

I don't know about anyone else, but I am still waiting for Michael Schiavo to make a correction on his blog about what "actually" took place in Colorado when he went there (to the debate) to supposedly ask Congresswoman Musgrave one question and she and her staff supposedly tried to have him removed. He called it, "My unreal night in Colorado - with radio link" (Thu Oct 26, 2006 at 08:05:14 PM PST). I'll say (from what I read) that it was his "unreal night".

As I said before in "Standing up and Admitting a Mistake: Not Schiavo's Style?",  if four uniformed officers were around my seat, I would have some idea of what was going on. I certainly wouldn't be sitting in "duh mode" to only be told later of what took place right there around me, as Michael suggests he was. If Michael's account is realistic -- his response and reaction is not. Nor is his response appropriate now that he has "learned" what he was "allegedly told" is not what took place. One would think if he can't get the words out that he was mistaken, he could at least have removed the inaccurate entry from his blog.

He has done neither.

I'm also still waiting to read about, "Also, maybe tomorrow I'll post about my election-eve rally with Bill Clinton in Florida." (A real election impact by Michael Schiavo, Thu Nov 09, 2006 at 10:40:34 AM PST).  Indeed, I would love to read that story by Michael, since I read it was not possible. Not if he was implying it was the Bill Clinton that is the former President of the United States. Will be interesting to see what he says about that if he ever does.

If Michael couldn't get it straight what happened at the Musgrave debate or even if he spent election-eve with former President Bill Clinton -- do you suppose he might have gotten Terri Schiavo's wishes mixed-up as well? (He does claim to have a bad memory from what I read.) Makes one wonder. At least makes me wonder. Whatever...

I'm still waiting for the corrections if not the explanations!

>> In one ear worm I have “light my fire” and in the other, “tutti frutti” Thanks alot!

Sorry! The only cure for a bad earworm is a good earworm. Stick to Tutti Frutti and toss in a little Long Tall Sally, if you wish.

Little Richard has a deep background in Gospel. You aren't going to find any vile liberal sentiments in a-wopping and a-bopping and bambooming.

>> In one ear worm I have “light my fire”

The music is upbeat, just shut out the words. Or shut out the Doors singing the words. Robin Williams once sang it in Elmer Fudd's voice, all w's in place of r's, and it was side-splitting -- "C'mon, Baby, light my fi-wah."

I’m happy with tutti frutti.

>> "...the State has legitimate interests from the pregnancy’s outset in protecting the health of the woman and the life of the fetus that may become a child.”

Ah, the sacred realization that a fetus miraculously comes alive and turns into a future taxpayer.

Time out. Henrietta, the turkey, is out at our bird feeder, feasting. It is a funny sight. She is about 800 times as big as the songbirds that feed there.

>> the Supreme Court has decided to ban one procedure it finds distasteful at the expense of a mother's safety

Distasteful?? Do you mean it is high fashion and good taste to jab a sharp instrument into a baby's head, cut open a hole, stick in a tube, and suck its brains out?

>> After tramping all over private rights in the Terry Schiavo case

Now let's hear them explain why Michael Schiavo had the patriarchal power to imprison his wife, embezzle her funds, and put her to death by torture.

[Scotswife]

I haven’t seen those tests but they certainly do describe Michael very well.
Especially in the financial irresponsibility area.

He mooched off the Schindlers and lived with them until they became afraid of his violent behavior.

They spent years bailing him and Terri out financially.

I bet there isn’t one bit of him that ever reflects on how good they were to him for so long.

>> I bet there isn’t one bit of him that ever reflects on how good they were to him for so long.

No. The only thing he has burned into his brain is that the Schindlers nagged him once too often to keep his promise to provide care and therapy to Terri. He blew sky high. (They think they can date it precisely to February 14, 1993.) He never spoke to them again, never allowed Terri to have therapy again, switched her immediately to DNR -- this was only weeks after getting a huge money award on the promise to take care of her for the rest of his life. In short, he used her to get at them. Can you imagine holding a grudge that long? Having that cold hatred for 12 years? Over money??

I think he was consciously punishing Terri for the initial "haircut" incident that led to their fight in 1990. Why, she defied him! She was asking for it, asking for the punishment he gave her! When he put "I kept my promise" on her grave marker, I'm quite sure he meant, "I told you I'd kill you if you did that, you insubordinate b-word!"

What other promise could he refer to? He trampled his marriage vows, his most sacred promise to God. He almost immediately broke the promises he made to the court in the malpractice case. That's called "fraud on the court." Michael kept no promises. He kept only vindictive grudges.

I love the way movin rudy commended the recent
PBA decision by the Supremes.

After all his support of the procedure, what do you know?

[T'wit]

Pleased to report, Henrietta the turkey is back at the bird feeders this morning. The day dawns to a crystalline blue sky. Yesterday's clouds have vanished like the trolls. Let us rejoice and be exceedingly glad.

And maybe kick some butt.

Ken Connor links some current events to Terri...

....................................

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen."

- Ephesians 4:29

The last few days have been emotionally exhausting for America. First there was the Don Imus fiasco, which surfaced deep-rooted pain, suspicion, and anger over racial divisions in America. Then, this week, there was the horror of the Virginia Tech shootings, which forced us to confront the reality of evil, and our fear of mortality. Later, the Supreme Court ruled that partial birth abortion, a grisly procedure that must have been conceived by the producers of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, could be banned by law.

While these three stories might seem disparate and disconnected, each involves the debasement of human dignity. It's clear how mass murder and infanticide strike at the heart of human dignity, but it's easy to underestimate the destructive impact of mere words.

~Snip~

We do well to ask ourselves what kind of culture we want to live in. The words used on radio and television shape the culture, and even people who choose not to consume degrading entertainment must live in a culture that is heavily influenced by it. Dehumanizing words lead to dehumanizing actions, which in turn can lead to suffering and sorrow. Remember Terry Schiavo? She was declared a "vegetable", and when the label stuck, it became acceptable to starve and dehydrate her to death.

Sticks and stones can break our bones, but words can create wounds that are even more severe. After these difficult weeks, let us dedicate ourselves to a cultural vision that celebrates human dignity and worth.

...........................

Remember when the federal government burst into Terri Schiavo's hospice room, shoved aside her husband, pulled back the comatose woman's eyelid and pronounced her fit as a fiddle and ready for love?

Well, they're at it again -- this time in the form of the United States Supreme Court, which has popped up between the legs of the women of America and waved away any doctors who might want to perform certain late term abortions.

Granted it's a rare, grisly procedure -- which is why right-to-lifers zeroed in on it, as part of their battle of the margins. They've lost trying to convince America to ban abortion, so instead they're nibbling away at the edges, on issues that give most decent folk pause, such as this procedure.

The anti-choice crowd is certain that this is the first step toward returning to their imagined Eden of the 1950s. Keep dreaming. For the rest of the country it is a reminder that in addition to an endless blood-soaked war in Iraq, another legacy of the Bush years is a court packed with hidebound conservatives only too happy to take a stand between the gynecological stirrups and threaten doctors with prison.

The Supreme Court is the executive branch in black robes, and it's good to remind the nation that what you vote for one day can show up with its hand in your hospital gown the next. And they're supposed to be against intrusive government.

>> our fundamental values of freedom and privacy.

Those aren't values to the Left. Those are murder licenses. "Freedom" is the freedom to do evil without getting into trouble, "privacy" is the screen you hide behind to do it. The tortuous law used to kill Terri Schiavo derives from the same "liberty" and "privacy" rights that created Roe v. Wade. It's always about killing with impunity.

A little hung over this morning, are we? :-)

Another thread from our founder nails it!

Filled with fascinating posts, and also exposing the usual suspects, it is another eyeopener. At times in the past, it would seem as if we were alone in our battles against the detractors who would dance with glee over Terri's death. It is threads like these that refresh and reassure. Thanks, narses. Thanks, Jim Robinson.

FR fights against the liberals/Democrats in all of these areas and always will. Now if liberalism infiltrates into the Republican party and Republicans start promoting all this socialist garbage, do you think that I or FR will suddenly stop fighting against it? Do you think I'm going to bow down and accept abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, global warming, illegal alien lawbreakers, gun control, asset forfeiture, socialism, tyranny, totalitarianism, etc, etc, etc, just so some fancy New York liberal lawyer can become president from the Republican party?

Do you really expect me to do that?

Will FR embrace socialism to make way for Rudy Giuliani as a Republican presidential candidate?

Remember when her angry husband came home late one Saturday night in 1990, found his wife asleep, and then "found her" again, face down and dying on the hallway floor? She was suffering fractured ribs, a broken back, a bone bruise on her femur, a neck injury and a severe anoxic injury to her brain. That night was the last time she was "fit as a fiddle and ready for love." Somebody took that away from her. Nobody else was present but the man who killed her.

Jim said it was impossible to be half-conservative and half-liberal. I told him half-wits could do it, but nobody else.
