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!

Anyway, the war has been going on a long time.
I got to shake hands with the nominee that fateful day he vaulted into national campaign. It was JFK, candidate. Yes, I was at the Democrat Convention in the Los Angeles Coliseum. My conscience payed dearly for these youthful transgressions and I have attempted restitution.

Here is a Haleigh Poutre-related story from the news earlier today. It does not ease my worries about Haleigh very much to know that Massachusetts has hired four times as many doctors and increased its child-protection power. It was, after all, a Massachusetts psychiatrist who helped kill the state's last high-profile child victim (Rebecca). She, the psychiatrist, is the one who diagnosed the child as a mental case at age two and started filling her with the drugs from which Rebecca eventually died. It was state doctors who asked to kill Haleigh, too. There has to be a better way to help battered children than pretending government can do parenting any better than it can fix potholes.
New positions boost DSS medical expertise / High-profile cases prompt hirings
It is a classic approach of the cnivil servants.
If something needs fixing, throw money at it. If things continue to get worse, throw even more money at it, and if it is going downhill even faster, throw even much more money at it. It touches on that old saw about insanity. "Doing the same thing over and over and each time expecting a different result". But that defines cnivil servants and liberals and all their kind.
Yes, this is a good time for a short winter break. I think I will celebrate by shovelling some sparkling new snow. It is a great and stimulating exercise, much more healthful than having fun.
p.s. cnivil is not to be confused with Snivil, who is a scandanavian and may even be an ancestor of mine. Nor is it to be confused with cevil which may be more descriptive.

Who is the psychiatrist that prescribed the drugs to Rebecca? Why is he/she never named? Is he/she on staff at DSS, like all these new doctors they hired?
I have a hard time blaming Rebecca's mother for her overdose, in light of the fact that the same doctor had the mother on heavy meds too. How clearly could she be expected to think? It looks to me like she was just following DSS' orders, taking her drugs, and giving Rebecca drugs. Obviously she shouldn't be in charge of children, but it looks like she was doing the best she could, and DSS blamed her for their gross incompetence that resulted in Rebecca's death. JMHO
Most of these critters don't come by our Terri Daily threads anymore, but we see them attacking others, our kindred friends on similar topics. It is discouraging at times as sometimes it looks like they have dominated FreeRepublic. Yet, we can take heart in what Jim Robinson said on another thread, a philosophy and a direction expressed with clarity.
New and fresh topics regarding Terri and victims like Terri are less than before, although amazingly many considering how time has passed. To many the topic is burdensome to follow, yet, we are chronicling these topics and building a repository of solid information which assures Terri's Legacy will remain and, Lord willing, will prevail. We grow weary as the dark side refreshes itself like a swarm of killer bees, new ones replacing the spent ones. Yet we will remain standing so long as we keep faith.
I have extracted the post of Jim Robinson from the context of the thread. The core values we hold dear are ensured by his words. Much of the thread will be difficult reading for some as our own friends, some from the Terri List, are set upon in a feeding frenzy as they defend our values. Note, especially, Eternal Vigilance who stands up under withering attack. He is attacked with vitriol because of hatred, not for him as an individual, but for what he stands.
The freeper sleepers and resident trolls may not have gone away, but are becoming increasing irrelevant as paper tigers, shadows to ignore. We defeat detractors like these simply by being ourselves as they expose themselves with their own wrath not realizing they are as attractive as certain liberal icon babes doing a pole dance.

The answer is in my statements like these:
I've already stated that FR will probably become even more conservative than it already is, through attrition if nothing else. Besides continuing to champion the defense of America, FR just might become the "Conservative Conscience of the Republican Party," ie, we may become a real thorn in the side of moderate/liberal Republicanism. Someone has to try defend the party from completely tossing out traditional American conservatism. Might as well be us.
How many times must I say FR is a conservative site? We do not support abortionism, homosexualism, feminisim, environmentalism, gun control, liberalism, socialism, etc, etc, etc. When I say I suspect we will become even more conservative than we already are, possibly via attrition if nothing else, what do you think I'm referring to? When FR starts pushing hard and I mean hard against abortion, gay marriage, homosexual education forced on our school children, pandering to illegal aliens, gun control, McCaine-Feingold type usurpation, global warming, etc, etc, even if supported or advanced by the GOP, then I fully suspect certain types of moderate/liberal Republican supporters are probably going to be a little uncomfortable here. We will be fighting for traditional American conservatism no matter who we have to fight against and I'm afraid that's going to piss off some folks.
And I'll borrow a slogan used by the NFRA that I realy like:
"We are the 'Republican' Wing of the Republcan Party!"

Addressing the most famous end-of-life case in recent years, the Jesuit said the events leading to the death of Terri Schindler Schiavo in March 2005 were "rare, unusual and a tragedy" but have little to contribute to the richness of church teaching on care for the dying.
"This was a family that hated each other," he said of the Schindler family and Michael Schiavo, Terri's husband, adding that he would not want such a case to be the basis for decision-making in his own death or anyone else's.

More mantra of life support = food and water...
Burnworth said even adults who dont have children should still at least have a living will or a health care power of attorney. He said the Terry Schiavo case in Florida caused many people to think about who should be responsible for making life or death decisions about them. That case saw Schiavos husband and parents battling in the courts over whether she should be taken off life support and left to die.

NASHVILLE, March 2, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) On Thursday, February 15, at the age of 31, Jennifer Ann Carlisle gave up her life to cancer after refusing an abortion that doctors told her might have extended her life.
Jennifer had been diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2005. At two months gestation, long before any chance of saving the childs life outside the womb, Jennifer was told that she would die from the soccer ball-sized tumour if she did not abort the baby.

Of the various sources of stem cells, the autologous stem cell therapy was used by the hospital as there was no risk of rejection nor was there any concern of medical ethics. Doctors say that preserving stem cells is a kind of bio-insurance for an entire family as the stem cells could help in the treatment of the persons siblings, parents and even grandparents. While preserved cord blood stem cells are a perfect match for the child from whose umbilical cord it was collected, there is only a 25 per cent chance of it being a perfect match for other family members.

I was thinking yesterday about the fact that many of our visitors seemed to be glued to the soap opera-style news coverage of Anna Nicole Smith's death and the aftermath. They all seemed to have opinions on why certain men to whom she was never married should have the right to decide where she was buried. And they all had opinions on why courts in Florida or California should have any jurisdiction over her daughter who was born in and has always lived in another country.
These visitors who were happy to see Terri's estranged and adulterous husband put her to death were rather suspicious of Anna Nicole Smith's various boyfriends/companions (and their suspicions were probably quite valid). But I'm wondering, if Anna Nicole Smith had not died and was instead lying in a "permanent vegetative state" (a term which Florida seems to use at random) and one of these men (or her mother) recounted a conversation in which she indicated not wanting to live, would our visitors support her being starved and dehydrated to death or would her "celebrity" be enough to justify letting her live?
That depends on how it is presented to them by the MSM. Appearances are everything to these people. The videos of Terri that proved to the world that she was aware of her surroundings, are the same videos that those people looked at and saw what they perceived to be an unattractive woman with limited brain capacity. Too ugly and stupid to live. These are the same people who are rooting for a liberal politician who has little more going for him than a cute smile. The irony is, I've seen photos of some of them, and they don't come anywhere close to their own standards of beauty. Woof! And as for intelligence, they don't see the irony in using the standards of beauty and intelligence that they themselves can't meet, as deciding factors in life and death matters.
It all depends on their feelings and perceptions. If they have to look beyond what the MSM tells them to feel, they're lost.
You've got that right!
And perversions. They love it so much that they will vote for it.
I wonder how they'd react if Rudy Guiliani needed life support. That would throw their world into chaos.
Not really. Terri deserved to die, Rudy would not. I don't think we are dealing with normal people here as you presume.
That's my whole point. They thought Terri deserved to die, but not Rudy. And yet, they do have their agenda to push. I think they'd have a real hard time deciding whether or not to let him live. It wouldn't be easy for them, like it was with Terri.
Yes, but it would not throw their world into chaos. They simply believe what they want to believe.
