I know I'll get flamed for saying this, but Terri Schiavo was not "killed" or "murdered" or "euthanized". Terri Schiavo was not really living - she was being kept alive by a feeding tube because she could not eat the normal way. I watched my father die 22 years ago after being taken off a respirator that helped him breathe because he could not do so on his own following a massive stroke. He was not "living", in the usual term, but still had to "die". We did not murder him, we did not "euthanize" him, we let Nature or God take her/his course. In my opinion, Terri Schiavo was helped - which should have been done years ago - the same way we helped my father not suffer further. I think Americans who believe Terri Schiavo was done an injustice are wrong. It's hard to understand until you've been there and done it. Just like combat service.

Amen. Thank you for saying what I feel.
Wonderful post. This is exactly how I felt.
Finally, someone from GOPUSA.com, gets it right.
why don't they rename this forum the terri schindler schiavo forum?
i mean, like i don't want to seem callous, i was against michael schiavo, but let's move on.
i thought michael to be mean. he could have let her parents, who loved her dearly, re-assume caretaker status.
I Will Shake And Roar

I received this message the morning following the death of Terri Schaivo. Terri died of thirst and dehydration in a hospital in Clearwater, Florida following the removal of her feeding tube. Clearwater is on the West Coast of Florida near St. Petersburg and Tampa.
[Isa. 59:14-19 NKJ] Justice is turned back and righteousness stands afar off; for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. So truth fails and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.
Then the Lord saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice. He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor; Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him; and His own righteousness, it sustained Him.
For He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on His head; He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.
According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay, fury to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies; The coastlands He will fully repay.
So they shall fear the name of the Lord from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard against him.
My people, nothing you have gone through has been in vain. Everything has a Purpose. Nothing happens that is not taken into consideration in my Plans and nothing happens without my consent.
The LION is about to ROAR in such a mighty way that the whole world will be awakened from its slumber. The world has been slumbering for a long time and it will take a great shaking to wake them up. Hold onto me and stay hidden in me. Be sure not to be ruled by your flesh or your emotions, but inquire of me.
Man is not going to have the answers in the days ahead. In fact, people in positions of authority are going to have no idea whatsoever as to what to do when I, the King of Kings, start roaring and showing my mighty power. They will look at things through carnal eyes instead of the eyes of my Spirit. Therefore all of their choices or options will be BAD and their decisions will be WRONG.
I AM going to separate the holy from the profane. I AM going to separate those who belong to me from the world. People are going to have to make a choice and will no longer be allowed to sit on the fence or speak out of both sides of their mouths.
I said that your yea was to be yea and your nay, nay (yes or no). I will no longer tolerate people speaking in MY name and acting on MY behalf, but they listen to and follow the devil!
My Word is sharper than a two-edged sword. I am going to take this sword of mine and I am going to start dividing. Some will fall on one side and some will fall on the other. If you side with mammon or position, it will be the wrong choice.
Things are going to start happening very rapidly. Man will not have time to catch his breath, settle down or get back into old mind-numbing routines that have characterized the past.
I will shake, shake, shake. Everyone will know that something is "wrong" or that something "strange and amiss" is going on. Everyone knows if a fully-grown elephant is stomping and trumpeting at their doorstep! So it will be in the days ahead.
I will have MY way in the earth. I will establish MY kingdom and there is not one thing that kings or rulers can do to stop me. [Ps. 2] I AM going to reign in righteousness. The days of unrighteous rulers and unrighteous judges are about end. The days of corporate greed and stealing the rightful wages of workers and laborers are about to end. [Jas. 5:1-8]
I did not establish earth for man to trample on and destroy, or for a few to turn into their private playground at the expense of everyone else!
I have seen the many tears and I have heard the cries of pain and anguish that ascend from all over the earth. I AM about to answer and I AM going to answer in a very big way.
Your world is coming down, Oh man. Your King is coming and I will take charge. Everything is going to change. I will shake and I will roar. The corrupt and defiled will come tumbling down. NOW is the day. The hour is at hand.
IT IS THE DAY OF MY POWER.*
You may curse me, but you wont mock me anymore. You may conspire as much as you please. Your plate will be left empty and your house desolate, for the Great I AM is on the way.
The Most High
*Ps 110 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion; rule thou in the midst of thine enemies.
Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth.
The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent, Thou are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath.
He shall judge among the heathen. He shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries.
He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head. [KJV]
Ping to self.
****Last week was one of the most painful times of my life. I have never been on such a roller coaster of emotion and I can't seem to get beyond it. That's an admission I'm not proud to proclaim, but it's the truth. For a person who's always ready for "NEXT, one-two-three, GO," . . . I was stricken with a paralysis. My country was in great distress over a situation that caused everyone to lose. The visuals still play clearly in my mind and are more painful than I can express.
This is exactly how I felt.
So we must remember terri and work to never let it happen to another person.
In the words of Rep. Delay. She was one of us. Anybody can be next to be abused by the judiciary. It may not be a guardianship case, it may be some other right abused or "redefined" by some judges.
People have NO CONCEPT of how absurd the civil courts are in a day to day scenario. Judges really are free to do whatever they can contort logic to their desired end result.
The Judiciary needs to be reignin into their original function. I personally believe that any other judge would have simply asked what would terri have wanted if she could have been "fully functional" for just 30 minutes and made aware of what was going on. Would she have wanted to stay with her husband in name only? Would she have wanted her mother and father to take care of her? The result would have been different.
That only points out the problem with a judicial branch that is JUDGE DEPENDANT instead of LAW DEPENDANT.
Either way, it will NEVER get better with democrats. Only republicans are in a position to potentially end the black robe fever.
IF our Constitution does NOT APPLY/PROTECT/HAVE MERIT, for ONE of us, then WHY would it have VALUE for the REST OF US??????
Guess I missed this one yesterday. Sorry!
Terri ping! If anyone would like to be added to or removed from my Terri ping list, please let me know by FReepmail!

I wrote to the author....had to...to let her know that her words were my heart.
Thanks again...I would not have missed this for anything.
This article expresses the way many of us feel but I'm afraid there aren't enough of us. Very afraid. God have mercy on America.
Wimp.
We don't HAVE a foundation anymore!
Thanks for posting that, that's how I feel about all of this. I'm glad due to the fallout of Terri Schindler, some other poor lady got saved in Georgia so I hope thinks do turn around.
