IMPEACH HIM NOW |
Thank you.
In theory, he's in hot water, but I fear our alleged "representatives" have become toothless... I suspect they will try to forget about this and hope everyone else does, too.
I still believe Americans, and America, are basically good. What we have is a rogue Judiciary coupled with a failure of leadership- in part fueled by polls which were biased from the start. Of course, the more telling thing about this is that true leaders don't govern by polling results- they do what's right, and hope the voters come to see that next time around.
For me, this is the opening of a long, new war of activism-- term limits, more accountability for Judges at every level, more safeguards for the disabled ( my late first wife was among that group- it's personal for me. ) and an unquenchable fire of hostility toward the Euth Movement and its acolytes. I am even mulling over the idea that we need to eliminate our, ahem! "representatives" and go to a direct vote. With restrictions, of course, like being a taxpayer or landholder. Up or down, win or lose, and at least laws and regulations proposed would have to be clear and simple enough for the average voter to understand. No more 3,000 bills that nobody reads, no-one fully understands, and burdened with riders that have nothing to do with the proposed law.
It's a damned shame a helpless woman had to be killed to get everyone's attention, but I believe this will have profound repercussions that no-one can fully predict.
First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew.Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I was a Protestant.Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.by Rev. Martin Niemoller, 1945 Our society has come for the unborn. Our society has now come for the brain damaged. Who's next???
There is truth to what you say. I think what we have in mainstream America is an infection of the moral fabric of the average individual. It is like decay in the enamel of a tooth, you have to dig it all out or it will destroy the tooth. Likewise here. The culture of death has infected the American psyche with the notion that death is preferable to life, and that when offered a clear choice between life and death, the average American will choose death. It is a morally bankrupt and cowardly position, but it seems to have become the norm.
How did it come about in just a short time? I am old enough to remember a time when we cherished life, that it was viewed as a gift, to be protected and valued, and that, while at times difficult, was still worth living. And that was because there was a belief that where there is life there is hope, hope that you can make a difference, and can do some good in the world. Now, the national mood seems to be one of hopelessness, where the good fight is no longer worth the trouble of fighting.
I don't know where it has come from. Materialism? Narcissism? The rise of the abortion machine? All have taken their toll. But it comes down to people. And people make up the courts, the government, the medical professions. When those people turn their backs on choosing life, then we all face the death machine at one point or another.
Excellent thread, Backhoe!
How sad that Terri has not been saved by those worthless people who are in control of our courts and lives.
Terri is still alive and we all know what she said in the past-->
Where there is LIFE ** THERE IS HOPE~~!!!
Thank you for the thread. Hopefully people will find out everything possible, about this hedious, mis-carriage of Justice.

Speaking of attorney's..
Does anyone know how David Gibbs was selected to be the Schindler's attorney? Also, who is Robert Destro? He was on one of the morning Cable News Programs.

Just wanted to point out the fact, that the ACLU has been helping Michael Schiavo/Felos since October of 2003. Also the AARP joined up about that time, too.
This family has fought harder than is humanly possible. I so respect them. Their pain is beyond words. I dispise the ACLU even more, knowing that they fought against Terri's wonderful family. It's so sad.

Sadly, Fox News is now a worthless source of news. Other than Hannity, they have no fair and balanced programing.
I've spent the past hour screaming at my TV. It was on Fox News. The mis-information coming from Fox is unbelieveable.
They had Catherine Crier on the Hannity/Colmes program. I can NOT stand her now. I've always enjoyed her program on Court TV in the past.
That was before I realized she is a ghoul. Everything I thought the former Judge stood for, is nothing but a sham. She just wrote a new book on the Scott Peterson case. I hope people will boycott her book. How can she say she cares about Laci Peterson, a murdered woman and then she turns right around and defends Michael Schiavo.
Fox News and Catherine Crier, you both make me sick.
