I've wondered the same exact thing. It's either that or the radicals within our own party are feeling the power and they are going to make everyone see it their way or else and now they are speaking so loudly it drowns out everything else.
No matter the evidence, they can't accept it.
It was the full supreme court today that rejected the appeal. If it had merit, do these people really believe Rehnquist, Scalia, Thomas, Kennedy, O'Connor all would have turned it down?
If they were being rational, they would say, the legal issue is on Michael's side.
Peach, I wanted to thank you for the link to Wolfson's report. I read quickly through the entire report, and found it to be rather enlightening. Not only are conservatives advocating violence, but they don't seem to mind advocating that the Bush brothers become dictators and ignore their powers under the constitution (state constitution for Jeb, US Constitution for GW). I don't want a dictator in charge. Once you have a president taking action not authorized by the constitution, it's pretty hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube.
.38sw, you are more than welcome. And I agree with what you said 100%.
Unfortunately for the enemy within, they are the vocal minority for the moment, and will soon be beaten back toward irrelevance. They are a looooong way from hijacking the GOP and becoming the mainstream of the party.
AMEN!!!
Of course the legal issues are on MS's side. Since when did the conservative party want to get into the sanctity of marriage? It has always been a husband's perogative (for want of a better word) to make medical decisions for his wife, on the advice of doctors, since time began.
People may not like it and they may not like him. But that's the way it is.
And the goverment getting between what has previously been a quiet family matter handled with their doctors is almost obscene to me. This has people in my community seething. We are mostly retired, staunchly conservative people here and we have lots of time and talk, talk, talk (mostly politics and food) and I've only met one person who thinks what Congress did is a good thing.
That's just it, Schindlers court filings
have never had an ounce of merit, that's
why they haven't won one ruling in all
these years.
Agree with you wholeheartedly.
Good post. Of course this all could have been blunted by attentive moderating. Irresponsible posts and threads could and still can be pulled. Lord knows how many threads and posts of mine have been pulled and none of them were like the garbage we've seen over the past few days.
Thanks one and all for the kind comments...I had expected to actually get flamed, and was hesitant to post this, but I just gritted my teeth, and hit 'Post'...I appreciate the kind comments...
Neets...Hi there yourself toots...how are you doing?
BigSkyFreeper...I am here up in Western Washington, not far from you....a cousin of mine from Northern California, is getting married this weekend, and then he and his new wife, are moving to Montana...I know he is sad to be leaving the beauty of Northern California, but hey, as you know, Montana, is a beautiful state as well...
Randall Terry is threatening a walk out on the GOP basically unless Jeb comes in with tanks.
Overdramatize much?
You make me embarassed to take the position Terry Schiavo should not be denied nutrition.
Wasn't Jesus taken down from the Cross because it was preparation day for Passover and the Sabbath was approaching as per Luke 23:54? Wouldn't that make it Friday?
It's been a post far too long overdue.
Hope you and The Big Guy are doing well.
(((HUGS)))
I don't know. They certainly seem to have taken over FR. And forced the president into a position that is darned near untenable. And the funny thing is, it's ticked off a lot of Bush's base who didn't want ANY goverment intervention and ticked off the 25% radical base who wants MORE government intervention. At least in this one situation. LOL
That's what I don't understand. Previously to this, personal attacks were either pulled as posted or the freeper was suspended.
