A very good Freeper has another thread going on right now, called "Let's End the Rancor." I started to respond, and realized...my RANCOR ain't going away any time soon. So....
NO! I will never forgive them.
I will never forgive the death cabal that forsook common decency and Judeo-Christian principles, and made a Never-give-in stand just to give those who embrace life grief, tension and tortured, sleepless nights.
I will never forgive the MSM for thinking "the lesson" we must take away from this is to make sure our Living Wills are in order. Isn't that just like them, manipulating us to run to lawyers by the millions?
I will never forgive them for seeing in Terri Schiavo not a human vessel who possessed a unique soul who deserved so much more, but a mere political symbol by which they could advance their agenda.
I will never forgive them for piling on, and mocking, people of true conscience--the Bushes, Santorum, Delay, even Jesse, in this, and so many others--when they came forward and tried to save her. Flawed though they may be, these people, and though they failed (and did not do enough, in my mind), I know they were driven first by belief. Those who would condemn them for speaking their consciences, for leading with their beliefs--condemn them and attempt to spin their statements as "pandering"--are the most vile of people. They will trample everything you stand for just to move a corrupt agenda forward by a single micron.
Just like I never forgave Johnny Cochran for stirring up racial animus in a country of 300 million just to get a stone-cold killer acquitted (and did NOT pray for his soul when he passed), I will never forgive this anti-American, anti-Christian minority who won this round.
There is much more I won't forgive them for, but I think I'll leave it to the less tolerant Freepers to start chiming in.
It's gonna be a really lousy day.
Pray for Terri.
Dig a grave for yourself. Continual unforgiveness isn't healthy.
A "great victory" for Liberalism and Judicial Tyranny. A coup d'etat has taken place in the USA. This is one of the real significances of the Terri Schindler (I refuse to pollute her good name with "Schiavo") murder. Judicial tyrants and corrupt lawyers have seized control of our beloved nation, urinating on the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

To Hell with forvigness, what did Jesus know anyway?
Forgive them, Father; they know not what they do.
What you said.
There's nothing I can quarrel with in this post. What outrages me most now, is how Michael Schiavo barred the family from being at her side at her moment of death. Tht is completely outrageous and yes, unforgiveable. No matter where you come down on this, I don't see how you can support that.
"my RANCOR ain't going away any time soon."
Yours or mine either
Actually, righteous anger (the handmaiden of "unforgiveness," to use your term), IS healthy. If it eats at you, chews away at the edges of your life, let it go. But if it makes you feel a little stronger, a little better about your core beliefs, embrace. Just read about it in a health column in the WSJ.
Remember the book, "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff--And It's All Small Stuff"?
Some of it ain't small.
Time to toss Judge Greer out of office and the Florida Legislators who waffled with him.
I hope that SOB Michael Schiavo never knows a minutes' peace. I hope that both he and his lawyer are spit on when the walk down the street. And I hope the people of this country finally wake up and recognize that the judicial branch is running this country with a tyrannical hand not seen since the days of Hitler in Germany.
Yes it is a lousy day, a very sad day. I hope that for those of us here who truly need to mourn and console each other, we can do so in peace. Even if it's only for today. That's really my only focus today.
Tears and prayers for Terri.
That's for the Father, not you.
Good grief guys, give him a break. This is hard on all of us right now, living in the moment. Many people who have a loss feel this way immediately after, but we calm down as time goes on, and we move on from it. Let him, and others like him, be to express their grief and sadness how they see fit. Tell them to forgive later, when it calms down.
patent
I never said I supported what Michael did. My concern is someone having continual unforgiveness. I realize right now emotions are running very high, but I hope everyone will calm down. I don't like Michael but I refuse to negatively impact my body and mind over him.
You have to forgive, for your own good, even though I agree with every last thing you said. Forgive 'em and let God sort 'em out.
I hope that the final result of this is that all the people who opposed Terri's deaths are galvanized and organize to drive the judges who perpetrated this atrocity out of the court system, and to once and for all end the idea that the courts are the final arbiter of law.
Maybe the one good thing that will come of this senseless tragedy is that Americans will at last wake up to that fact.
But, I doubt it. Let's face it: most Americans are just proles.
