... That is the ultimate statement of political cynicism. What Reid is saying — if you consider the comments to Bash last year and those to Terris recently — is that the ends justify the means in all cases. It doesn't really matter if what he said about Romney's taxes is wrong. All that matters is that Romney lost. That Romney lost is justification enough for Reid to have made the false allegation. ...

Jabin Botsford has been ordered by Washington Post reporter Ben Terris to cover up a media hoax, we can now report. (Credit for these shocking revelations goes to this Internet sleuth.) When Michelle Fields was nudged during a Donald Trump press conference, Ben Terris blamed Trump’s campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski. Fields went on the media circuit, accusing Lewandowski of assault. Her accusation was later revealed to be false. Yet the story goes deeper. The Washington Post is actively covering up the false accusation against Trump’s campaign.

Breitbart has adjusted a report which originally suggested video evidence showed that Washington Post reporter Ben Terris misidentified the man who grabbed at Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields following a Tuesday night press conference with Donald Trump. The new version of the report includes new video that appears to show Lewandowski reaching for Fields. Both Fields and Terris have said Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski aggressively yanked Fields out of the way on Tuesday night after Fields tried to ask a question. Though the conservative, and often pro-Trump site, noted in its first report that "the altercation itself is not shown"...

Excerpted from today's NYT Letters to the Editor section: Jeb Bush's Move in the Schiavo Case (6 Letters) To the Editor: Re your June 18 editorial about the Schiavo case: We did not need an autopsy to know that Terri Schiavo had hopeless brain damage, or to know that many of her body's systems were normal. Her family loved what was left of her and asked only to be permitted to care for her at their own expense. My question is, Who or what was better served by her passive execution by water deprivation rather than by the first alternative?...

I am so mad at Judge Greer, I could spit. I will be protesting him in the morning in the Wal Mart parking lot. I am putting together my protest sign, but I need a good slogan. I am thinking something catchy using "Greer" and "queer" would be clever, but I can't think of anyhting good. Would the freepers please help me with this?

Terri Schiavo's Easter & Schindler's List Others have mentioned the timeliness of Terri's plight coinciding with the trials of Christ who similarly suffered, but was released from His torture by virtue of a resurrected life. The coincidences even continue. So many have cried out to "kill Terri," as led by a monstrous judiciary, which has as much compassion as a Herod or Pontius Pilate. Although Jesus was a Jew, and at first had Jewish disciples who were devoted to Him except during His greatest tribulation, it was the "liberal Jews," who damned Him most. In Congress (I tried hard not...

Stay With Terri, and with Us: Earlier this evening a misspoken statement told supporters to go home and be with their families. Terri Schiavo's father, Bob Schindler, would like to correct this with following statement: "What I meant to have announced was that people should go home and go to church with their families on Easter Sunday. But not to stay home. We want people to continue to be here [at the hospice] with Terri, and with us." -- Bob Schindler, Sr. The 24-hour vigil will continue in front of the Woodside Hospice, where Terri lives, located at 6774 102nd...

Is pain a factor for Terri Schiavo? While some news stories have suggested her starvation is painless, the head of the Christian Medical Association is debunking what he calls "the myth" that it does not involve pain. "Contrary to those that try to paint a picture of a gentle process, death by dehydration is a cruel, inhumane and often agonizing death," said Dr. David Stevens, who says most so-called experts have never seen someone die under such circumstances. "Unfortunately, having worked for 13 years in Africa, where the most common cause of death in children is dehydration from gastroenteritis, I...

Democrats have called out armed federal agents in order to: 1) prevent black children from attending a public school in Little Rock, Ark. (National Guard), 2) investigate an alleged violation of federal gun laws in Waco, Texas (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms), and 3) deport a small boy to Cuba (Immigration and Naturalization Service). So how about a Republican governor sending in the National Guard to stop an innocent American woman from being starved to death in Florida? Republicans like the military. Democrats get excited about the use of military force only when it's against Americans. In two of...

Hunger Strike - THE BLOG: The Ugly Truth The ugly truth is, makeup doesn't makeup for starving and dehydrating your body. The ugly truth is, one cannot hide torture behind the guise of mercy. The ugly truth is, one cannot tell a lie and then make it truth. This is the ugly truth. We're heading out to hospice this mourning, on the day of Jesus betrayal. We shall see if we are about to be betrayed by all those standing in the judicial crowd shouting crucify, crucify...

National Call For Action: Come to Woodside Now - Go To Washington Now A reader has emailed in a request that we pass this around. Terri is about to die. Many are now feeling very frustrated and helpless about what is happening. Let's let the world know how we feel about what our system of injustice has done and is doing to an innocent woman. ACTION: Every church, synagogue, congregation, parish, and organization that affirms life, IMMEDIATELY send 4 people to represent them to the people of the world. Send 2 people to Florida and 2 people to Washington. In...

On May 6th, 2004, Judge W. Douglas Baird ruled Terri’s Law is unconstitutional. Baird wrote in his decision that Terri’s Law “is unconstitutional on its face because it is an unconstitutional delegation of legislative power to the Governor and because it unjustifiably authorizes the Governor to summarily deprive Florida citizens of their constitutional right to privacy. In both instances, these are pure question of law that require no evidentiary support under any conceivable circumstance.” The key word in Baird’s above assertion is “unjustifiably”. Fact is, every member of Florida’s Legislature upon taking their office, took an oath of office and...

Persistent and Loyal Friends of Terri and of the U.S. Constitution, I'm home from today's hearing which was held at the Criminal Courthouse Complex on 49th Street, Clearwater before Judge W. Douglas Baird. Once I collect my thoughts from today's hearing which just adjourned about a half an hour ago, I'll post them here. Initially, I wasn't going to do any reporting re: the hearing but it was enlightening. I learned today in the hallway that Terri's parents, siblings and other relatives are still unable to see her some three weeks later due to the criminal investigation of what may...

American Constitutional Research Service Jan. 3, 2004 In a recent case North Florida Women's Health & Counseling Services, Inc. v. State of Florida[decided July 10th, 2003] Senior Justice Shaw delivering the opinion of the Court which struck down Florida’s “Parental Notice of Abortion Act” stated the following: “In the final analysis, we cannot fault the trial court for faithfully applying the controlling law. The court reasoned simply as follows (1) This Court in T.W. held that the Parental Consent Act imposed a significant restriction on a pregnant minor’s right of privacy. (2) The Court in T.W. further held that, in...

Tuesday, December 23, 2003 marked yet another day of Florida’s active renegade judicial system and its willingness to participate in a depravation of Terri Schiavo’s rights under color of law. In this latest incident, [see:Judge Ready to Rule in Schiavo Case; Bush Lawyers Predict Defeat] Circuit Judge Douglas Baird, who previously stated Terri’s Law was “presumptively unconstitutional” prior to a trial concerning its constitutionality, has now seen fit to suggest that Terri Schiavo’s wishes have already been decided in another court case, and rejected Florida’s Honorable Governor’s request to have a trial by jury to determine the wishes of Terri....
