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!

>> is a hardship reserved for national crises such as ... Terri Schiavo.

The WaPo columnist thought he was being sarcastic but have another look: Terri was being murdered and had only days to live. So it was precisely a crisis, in the classic sense of needing the most immediate action. Her murderers included the federal judiciary up to and including the Supreme Court. That made it a constitutional crisis of the first order.

Prof. Gary Amos called for the impeachment of all the judges who made themselves thus parties to a murder.

I suppose one innocent woman's public murder, even by the federal government, is small change to the Washington Post. After all, they could not see much wrong with the Clintons giving nukes to North Korea or selling missile guidance technology to the Chinese Communists. What's one little murder compared to that?

>> The governor is correct that same-sex marriage presents no threat to Florida.

God, You were wrong to institute marriage between one (1) man and one (1) woman. In fact, You were silly to create two sexes. You should have asked us liberals how to do things.

[Dante3]

Governor Crist should read about the harmful consequences to women and children resulting from weakening the marriage institution in the former Soviet Union (primarily in the late 1930s and early 1940s as part of its then anti-family campaign(. Then again, maybe that is what he is aiming at.

More Crist stuff...

ORLANDO — Catholic, conservative and concerned, former Florida Christian Coalition leader Pat Neal says many social conservatives are "a little disappointed" in the state's new governor and worried about the coming presidential election.

After years of the reliable social conservatism of President Bush and his brother, former Gov. Jeb Bush, self-described "values voters" wonder about the future of their agenda.

Snip...

By 2005, with the help of the White House, Congress and the governor's mansion, social conservatives were leading the battle to keep the husband of Terri Schiavo from removing her feeding tube. They lost, and now some leaders of the movement wonder whether they "overplayed their hand," as Neal put it.

Last year, during the Republican primary for governor, Tom Gallagher based his entire effort to win the nomination on support from social conservatives. Although many of the leaders quickly endorsed Gallagher, he fell behind Crist in contributions and the polls and was never able to catch up.

During the campaign, Crist took an opposing view on Schiavo, saying that if he had been governor at the time he would not have become involved. Crist said he would leave life-and-death decisions to a family and its doctors.

Sounds like the Felos sales team have convinced somebody of the joys of dehydration...Wagglebee thread.

LONDON, United Kingdom, February 16, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A 30-year old woman who tried to commit suicide last year but found it “too undignified” is now taking her doctors to court for refusing to agree to her demand for euthanasia.

Diagnosed with a terminal disease that doctors estimate leaves her with less than a year to live, Taylor is demanding that her doctors give her enough morphine to put her into a comatose state, and then withhold food and water from her until she dies from starvation and dehydration, The Scotsman reported Feb.13.

Her doctors have refused, saying the procedure would constitute euthanasia.

>> Governor Crist should read about the harmful consequences to women and children resulting from weakening the marriage institution in the former Soviet Union

Yes! Women, children and everyone else. But we don't have to look so far afield for examples. Try, oh, Philadelphia, or Detroit or Los Angeles. The whole welfare culture was built by the calculated destruction of marriage. Its greatest victims are the young unmarried men from fatherless homes.

Beware of liberal editorialists. Their tongues are thick with grease and the truth is not in them.

Liberals especially love to talk about rifts in the ranks of the enemy (that would be us, folks). Oh, our brows will be furrowed with doubts and fears, and the only solution -- just watch -- will be turning away from our principles and becoming more liberal. Why, it is amazing! Once you know the secret, you don't have to read their editorials again, ever.

Which is a good idea anyway.

>> Crist said he would leave life-and-death decisions to a family and its doctors.

Ted Bundy also favored private life-and-death decisions.

[8mmMauser]

We must remember Charles Manson was a "Family" man and stayed close with his family. Hmmm. I wonder what he would have thought of the Felos team. Wonder who he would vote for in 2008.

Maybe his experience set the benchmark for family values touted by the bioethickists today.

>> During the campaign, Crist took an opposing view on Schiavo, saying that if he had been governor at the time he would not have become involved.

Why didn't he just hang a sign around his neck saying, "I will not do my constitutional duty"? It is his job to protect Florida citizens' lives and rights. But after all, it was his job to protect Terri when he was AG and he refused his duty then, too.

>> Crist said he would leave life-and-death decisions to a family and its doctors.

How? The entire United States government was unable to do that. World opinion was unable to do that. Judge Greer always, always ruled that the family and their doctors could NOT make any decisions for Terri's care.

We must respect family values!

She's dead JIm!!

[razzle]

To me the Schiavo case was not a mess for the Republican party if you understood the issue that the Republicans examined and resolved. Death row inmates are allowed an appeal to a higher court for their death sentence, so why not an innocent woman.

[8mmMauser]

Glad you noticed. But the left wing socialist commie perps who killed her and wanted innocents like her dead are still out there working their craft. They didn't rest when she was dead.

[T'wit]

I have a modest quiz on the case. There is only one question. Without a factual answer to this question, one's view of the entire case will be unfounded and obviously useless.

If you need clues, there are many given in #42 above.

The question is: How did Terri Schiavo, a young, healthy woman asleep in bed, suddenly end up on a hallway floor, face down, unconscious, unresponsive, in cardiopulmonary arrest, making gurgling noises, and suffering from numerous traumatic internal injuries -- how did she suffer those injuries late one Saturday night right after her husband Michael came home?

The coroner ruled that out -- not that it ever made sense. Would you care for another try?

Haleigh and Rebecca,

Defending the DSS leader...

With adequate resources, Spence believes he could build a world-class child protection system. Yet he returned more than $20 million to the state treasury this year in so-called budget reversions. Detractors see it as a missed opportunity to provide better service. But Spence defends his actions, saying roughly half the money was earmarked for residential treatment programs that he purposely replaced with less restrictive placements.

Spence says the child protection field will never advance so long as commissioners are pushed from office by an understandably emotional public. He has a point. The problems DSS confronts are societal and systemic -- daunting for any one commissioner. Spence is dedicated and often inspiring. On balance, he deserves a chance to prove himself to the new governor, and to the children in his care.

The Patriot lends a hand to help Spence, well, sort of...

A week after Social Services Commissioner Harry Spence said he could not find psychiatrists willing to advise the department on treatment of mentally ill children like Rebecca Riley, the Patrick administration found an expert in a sister state agency just 1½ miles away: the Department of Mental Health.

Health and Human Services Secretary JudyAnn Bigby named Dr. Gordon Harper, a Harvard-trained child psychiatrist and medical director of child and adolescent services at the Department of Mental Health, as an interim adviser, officials said Friday.

When I first saw the title, Leftward, Ho?, I was sure they were addressing a question to Hillary.

Far lefties wallowing in their fresh slop are basking in what they think is gloatworthy victory. NYT, Frank and other Franks and weenies see success in the backfire of the Govt. efforts to rescue Terri. It fuels my paranoia from yesterday that big government interference played right into the agenda of the leftist plotters.

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

A few months later, Mr. Frank says, the Terri Schiavo case repudiated what he calls “the Republican moral agenda” and became a seminal event in the dawning of a “liberal moment.”

“Republicans thought this was a great issue for them,” Mr. Frank remembers. But then, all of a sudden, he said, “people realized that ‘Hey, those guys are trying to come into my life.’ ”

Leftward, Ho?
