I agree. Many of us felt a little of their agony of helplessness-like standing at the foot of the cross, I would imagine, even if you did not know He was God-unable to undo or prevent the injustice.
If I had been Jeb, I would have sent in the troopers, and then told the feds that if they didn’t like it they could come get me.
The memory of Terri will live with me and countless others for the rest of our lives. I remember Terri and her suffering, but also the faith, courage and dignity that her family showed through those heartbreaking weeks. Evil was there, but there were a lot of important people and good people there too who tried to help her, to save her. My prayers now are all for her parents and brother and sister. Terri doesn’t need prayers anymore because she is happy in Heaven.
I still cannot wrap my head around the fact the entire premise of the court case between terri and her husband was an off the cuff remark terri made to her husband about “not wanting to live like that “while watching a movie....how could it end 10 or so years later by a court ordered starvation..liberalism is truly a mental illness
my biggest regret was not being able to see Terri live... one of the greatest heartbreaks of my life.. I didn’t know her.. but I did what I could to help... the whole thing sickened, frightened and saddened me.. but what do you expect of Obama, the man who said if his daughters became pregnant, he wouldn’t “punish” them by forcing them to have babies.. life is disposable and throwaway to these people.. they would spend thousands on no kill animal shelters but not one dime to save a human being.
Ubama = pro-death
Hildebeast = pro-death
McLaim = pro-death
It’s a three-way tie! Are we supposed to close our eyes in the voting booth and just accept whatever vile creature we accidentally vote for? Or are we allowed to write in a human being?
It's pathetic that this country is so lost that MOST think that we, the people think they have to abide by the pols dictates.
McCain is not running for all the people. Clearly, he’s running cuz it’s his turn in his opinion. It’s not a good year for candidates. Not at all.
That's the report card for the current Congress. Note that Senators Obama and Clinton (we could hardly say they aren't committed on abortion!) also missed several votes. That's because they're running for President. On that report card, only presidential candidates (including Joe Biden) and the injured Tim Johnson missed more than one vote. But take a look at this score card...
http://www.populationconnection.org/Reports_Publications/Reports/dl/455 where McCain voted against all but one item a bunch of population control weirdos wanted, and these NRLC 108th and 109th Congress report cards, where he's in on every vote and he gets an 81% and 75% respectively. In fact, I think he should have gotten a 100% for the 108th, because the two votes where he disagrees with the NRLC are Medicare funding issues. BTW, note the ratings that Obama and Hilllary got on those report cards: 100% from the population control freaks and 0% from the NRLC. Note especially that they voted against Roberts and Alito and McCain voted for them.
McCain sure has his flaws, but on the pro-life issue the choice this year is between good and absolutely abyssmal.
Consider this: If I was on camera with you during the Super Bowl and told you (in front of about 2 billion people) that I wanted you to have all my stuff when I died, it would have absolutely no force in law, because wills fall under the statute of frauds, the technical requirement that certain transactions only be conducted on paper. For example, you can't sell real estate on a handshake deal.
Yet Terri's supposed "living will" was a half-remembered decade old conversation. And the most stunning part is that there are people who don't see why that's scary. This ruling was scary even if Terri Schiavo wanted to die.
You're mistaken. See post 30.
Oops, make that post 31.
Darn it, I are supposed to be more smarterer than that. ;-)
