Terri Schiavo, may she rest with God in Peace, was starved to death by the State of Florida, carried out by the so-called Hospice, to prove a point: her husband, who had moved on with his life 14 years 11 1/2 months earlier, wished it, got a lawyer (George Felos) who promotes "death", found a Judge (Greer) who would agree and would appoint a Dr. (whose brother belonged to the same pro-death organization as George Felos to declare her a vegtable, unworthy of life. Proving the point that people who are inconvenient can and will continue to be murdered by...

Two days ago, the Times criticized the governor in an editorial called "Autopsy on the Schiavo Tragedy." While not naming Bush, it denounced "opportunistic politicians" who exploited the case.

As we know, laws applied in one case or state, whether right or not, ultimately, create a legalistic legacy that affect the rest of the country. Therefore, our country stands in the middle of a crisis of unbridled proportion. For the first time in our history, an entire, failed judicial system, is responsible for the murder of...

Freeper friends, Terri's Memorial Service is this coming Tuesday night in Gulfport, Florida. Please check and see if www.baynews9.com will carry it on the internet.
