Judge Orders Schiavo's Feeding Tube to Remain for Three Weeks

Breaking from NewsMax.com

Supporters of Terri Schiavo's right to life scored a big victory late
Friday when a Florida judge ordered her feeding tube to remain for an
additional three weeks.

"Pinellas Circuit Court Judge George Greer made his decision after
pleadings from the woman's parents, Robert and Mary Schindler, that they
need more time to pursue additional medical tests which might prove their
daughter has more mental capabilities than previously thought." the AP
reported.

The judge's stay will remain until March 18. But the legal battle to
keep Terri alive is far from over.

Fla. Governor Jeb Bush has also ordered the state to investigate
allegations Schiavo has been abused or mistreated. The state is reportedly
seeking a 60-day delay in removal of the feeding tube.

Terri's father Robert is leading the legal effort to save his daughter.
He has set up a legal defense fund. He needs your help.

You can help him by Going Here Now

Robert Schindler's Appeal Follows Below

If you can help in any way, please find it in your heart to do so.

Here's yet another example of the barbaric Iranian "legal" system at work.

Tell me again Moonbats, how we should "negotiate" with people such as these?!
And don't give me a lot of blather about "cultural differences", some things are just WRONG, no matter what the culture.

Well, the Nanny state war against obesity has begun.
It's true that this story comes out of the UK, so why should we here in the US be concerned about it? Well how about the GFW's citing the UK as a model of "proper" gun control? Can the Fat Police be far behind here?

Kudos to Gutrumbles for the heads up.

The Imperial Dungeonmaster has a post up at the Rott outlining one example of the Public SchoolIndoctrination Center method of instilling Moonbattery to our young. It's all the more personal because the soldier who recieved the morale busting letters is the brother of one of the Loyal Citizens, Imamommy.

Her father is scheduled to be on the Hannity and Colmes show tonight (Feb,22,2005) I think it would behoove you to watch and see just kind of effect this type of incident can evoke, not just among the soldiers themselves, but their familys and friends as well.

I saw this story at The Dutch Report and I was sickened by the thought that the situation there had deteriorated to the point that representatives of a legitimate government had to be housed in a maximum security prison to try to guarentee their safety.

I know that it would seem to affect me more than the majority of my readers, after all, we live in unprecedented safety here in the United States, and Holland is the country of MY birth, not their's; but if they think about it, they would realize that if it could happen in a country known for it's tolerance and freedom, it could happen here. Don't think that it can't. (it would be poetic justice to see Sen."Splash" Kennedy under that type of protection protocall....wonder if they could "lose" the key to his cell?)

If we don't wake up to the threat that Islamofacism presents everywhere in the world, how long will it be before WE provide housing at the Greybar Hotel for our Senators and Congressmen to provide for their safety? I don't believe that we will ever go that route, thats what we have the Secret Service for, but still, it does give one food for thought. When a small group of fanatics can disrupt the nomal conduct of governmental members, that government is in serious trouble.

It will be a tricky thing here in the U.S. to maintain the level of freedom we enjoy and still have an effective means of combating this scourge, in the end, we'll have to accept a certain level of danger to keep those freedoms intact, but I believe that more can be done than is being done at present.

We must never trade freedom for security, but we must be more vigilant and responsible for our own safety, and realize that that safety IS under attack. We have one advantage over the Dutch, and that is our Second Amendment, which not only affords us the freedom to bear arms, but tacitly recognizes our individual freedom to protect ourselves, with deadly force if need be, without the EU attitude that only the official defenders of the law can provide protection.

UPDATE: Here are some comments by security specialists and government officials on the situation.
The reaction by some of the governmental apparatchiks is, to say the least, inexecusable, and the voters should remeber this the next time they go to the polls.

Recently I received a heads up on the existance of the site http://www.forsakethetroops.info, from several of my friends.

I went there and read the inane, deceitful, and singularly hate filled diatribes there, and experienced the most powerful RCOB moment I have had in my memory. I was so angered by what I read there that I was unable to post a coherent post about it.

Luckily, my nephew over at the Slaughterhouse could and did write a reasoned post. Go there, read what he wrote and follow your own consciounce(sic). I agree wholeheartedly with Slaglerock.
There are times when free speech just becomes an expression of unreasoned hate, and should be exposed to the world to see, and to provoke a response against it. The ONLY difference between he and I is that I WILL call the site owners scumbags, for that term describes them perfectly.

Read this and tell me that you don't experience a "RCOB" moment.

Here we have a judge presuming to make a medical determination against the sworn affidavits of qualified medical personnel, not even allowing a brain scan that would prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Terri was "in there". This to provide relief to a sick puss-bag of a husband that took money awarded into his trust for rehabilitative care for his wife, and never provided that care.

In my own humble opinion, he should suffer the fate he would visit upon his wife, he should be strapped down to a bed and allowed to starve/dehydrate to death.

Bloodthirsty? Maybe....I prefer to call it poetic justice.

From the Rotweiller, I learned of an Idiotarian promoting theft as as an anti-war statement. I don't live in Dallas, so I hope that this movement doesn't affect me, but I would echo the Emperor's sentiment should it occur here in Indy:

"Just remember that you'll be approaching our private property with malice aforethought."

"To answer the unasked question: Yes, we will. And we'll enjoy it too."

"Pine or Oak?"

It's official, the peace process is dead in the Israeli/PalistinianMisplaced Arabs. Abbas has authorized the execution of three citizens of the PA for treason, the treason being that these three men gave Israel information on wanted terrorists. Abbas himself should have taken care of these terrorists if he were really serious about establishing a true peace. This action, along with his inablity to rein in Hammas and Hezbolla will sink the peace process as surely as if the PA were the Titanic and True Peace the iceburg.

Many Moonbats decry that President Bush didn't take enough time to get France and Germany on board the bandwagon prior to taking on Saddam, but HERE is yet another example of why they would have NEVER gotten onboard. France is "concerned with ruining their good relations" with a terrorist organization? Wonder what arms contracts they have in the pipeline.....

So now we have high school teachers showing students how to make explosives...The teacher claimed it was an experiment to show reaction rates. Sorry Teach, there are much safer ways to do that than instructing teenagers how to concoct explosives.

And we wonder why we have to worry about the state of our Public schools indoctrination centers?

To all the Moonbats out there that continually tout the UN as THE body that should handle cases of international conflict; Here is another example of the not only ineffectiveness of UN "peacekeepers", but indeed, their criminal behaviour.

Were this an isolated case, I would be of a mind to just say, "there were some bad apples, prosecute them and move on".

But to date, I can't seem to find a single example where the UN forces were successful in doing what they were sent to do in any situation, namely keep the peace and/or provide succor to people suffering from disaster whether man-made or natural. And it seems that in almost every case, there have been furthur crimes committed against the people that those forces were sent to help, by the forces themselves.

And the most that Kofi Annon can say is (he is)"afraid there is clear evidence that acts of gross misconduct have taken place."?!?

No word on what steps would be taken to prevent furtur abuses, or prosecution of the offenders....

What else can you expect from an organization that names the worst offenders of human rights to sit on the watchdog committee on human rights? An organization that dealt with under the table oil deals with a dictator in a program that was supposedly to ease the suffering of the people under his rule?

It's time for the US to seriously consider leaving the UN. Let them move the headquarters to Brussels, where perfiditity and double-dealing graft are appreciated as an art form in international politics.

No, I'm not so naive as to believe that our own state department doesn't enage in expiedient measures in dealing with foreign powers, but at least they try to keep a semblence of forthrightness, and when caught in an obvious crime, are disgraced and prosecuted.

UPDATE: UN official "hopes to God that the UN is never called on again to administer such a massive program as the Oil for Food again. EVEN the UN leadership is starting to acknowledge it's incompetentcy!

Want to know why Johnny can't read? The so called "experts in education" are why.

The NEA has been the single greatest folly foisted on the American people.
Here is yet another example of the "smart" thinking of the Educratic mind...take the most successful reading program in the state, and phase it out, because after all, the Educrats know that reading is a complex activity, and only their methods can be trusted to convey that talent.

Irregardless of the fact that everywhere the educrats hold sway has experienced furthur and furthur declines in the literacy of their children.

The educrats claim it was a lack of funding for schools, but the higher the funding goes, the lower the test scores seem to go. The number of educrats in the $100,000 a year salary range seems to go up at a concurrent pace....Note I don't say teachers are the problem, I say educrats.

These educrats are really nothing more than leeches on the educational system, imposing whatever flavor of new educational theory happens to be availible to get the most money out of the system they can, the children be damned.

The teachers in the trenches are as much victoms as the children, funds that could go to raising their pay to an equitable level are drained off in administration costs and study funding. And items that would really help the kids...you know, like textbooks, pencils, paper; yeah, the mundane stuff, gets the shortest shrift of all. Why be concerned that the students don't have proper supplies?, the educrats need a multi-billion office complex, after all.

How else will they be able to efficiently hand down their edicts from on high?

And they wonder why home schooled children tend to outscore their public schooled bretheran by over a two to one margin.

Hamas Speaks
I had said in an earlier post that the cease fire declared between Israel and the Palestinian Authority was a sign of hope that maybe the time had come when men of good will from both sides may be able to hammer out a fair compromise leading to an independent Palestinian state living in peace next to Israel. I had but one caveat: that all it would take would be one fanatic to derail the whole process....

Well it seems that the leading group of fanatics, Hamas , are hell bent on not allowing any sort of peace to be brokered, unless it is the peace engendered by the total destruction of the state of Israel, which is, after all, the basic premise of the Palestinian Liberation Organization's charter document.

The Left in this country are always saying that one of the major problems is that the US will not deal fairly with the Palestinian side of Mid-East hostilities, always favoring Israel in any negotiation. I think the story above points out the problem, namely that there is no ONE group that speaks for the Palestinian Misplaced Arab people. The Palestinian Authority was SUPPOSED to be, in effect, an interim government for the Palestinian side, empowered to deal with the Israelis AS a government to try to broker peace.

The FACT is that the P's M-A's HAVE no governing authority that can speak in the interests of their people. They have a loose coalition of gangs of thugs using the PA as a front to mislead the rest of the world into thinking that the people have a legitimate governing body to conduct negotiations. These negotiations are used as "rest periods" in the ongoing war; used to rearm and conduct planning for future (terrorist) operations in relative calm.

If the Misplaced Arabs truly want to become the "Palestinian People", with a self ruled state of their own , they have to make the decision: to have ONE ruling authority that has the power of a government. To allow any group of wannabe armies of the people that can scrape enough money,weapons and fanatics together to have an equal say in the process is only self defeating. Until that happens Israel has every right to take the actions it must do to protect itself. That is after, after all, one of the primary functions of a real government, to protect it's people from military attack. Israel has demonstrated on a number of occasions to be willing to negotiate a just peace. There just hasn't been a corresponding entity on the other side to negotiate with.

Until there is, I'm afraid that there can never be a true peace, at best, there will be an uneasy truce with sporadic acts of violence.

And until the Left in this country realize the true situation in the area, the violence will extend into the political arena in this country too.

once again, Davids Mediankritik has a spot-on post. WE may have individual political cartoonists villifying foreign leaders....But the good people of Deutchland have a parade to do it.

The old adage holds true, when your going down the toilet (unemployment rate of 12.6%, oppresive Police actions, mandatory National ID etc, etc), blame some other leaders than the ones responsible for it.

It's time to withdraw all U.S. troops from the Fatherland. Think the jobless rate is high now? Just wait!

Abnormal at the Injustice Department has a link to a chilling prospect....UN control of the Internet.

He, like me, is NOT into big conspiracy theories, but if you read what is being put out by members the UN committee, it's obvious that if we don't keep careful watch on our freedom on the 'Net, we may lose it, and soon.

I see THIS in a link over at the Rott, and needless to say, I am ashamed that the Dutch have fallen to that low a level. seems there must have been an exchange of policies between our NEA and their equivilent...

One good thing about this though...at least I found a great new blog to add to the roll!

UPDATE: As much as the story above enraged me, at least I was able to find proof that the Idiotarians aren't in total control of the Dutch helm of state yet. Here's a speech by Geert Wilders that demonstrates that Sanity still has at least a chance of regaining the upper hand.

It was bad enough that the Islamoterrorist slime would use a child to commit one of their heinious bombing operations, it was worse when I learned that the bomb dupe was a victom of Downs Syndrome, but now to learn that the child was KIDNAPPED for the purpose....words fail to express the outrage I feel towards these pieces of slime in human form.

I truly believe that the next time I am in the presence of a left wing apologist for these vermin that I will end up in jail for assault if they DARE to spout any apologist rhetoric within my earshot.

Found this via Right Wing Rocker. And added him to the bloggroll too.

Daniel Pipes has a post up with links to a study of Saudi Arabian funded literature disseminated to American Mosques and Muslim organizations.

The sturdy was done by a think tank called Freedom House, and what they found was truly disturbing.

Here is a taste of what this literature advises American Muslims:

Reject Christianity as a valid faith: Any Muslim who believes "that churches are houses of God and that God is worshiped therein is an infidel."

Insist that Islamic law be applied: On a range of issues, from women (who must be veiled) to apostates from Islam ("should be killed"), the Saudi publications insist on full enforcement of Shariah in America.

See non-Muslims as the enemy: "Be dissociated from the infidels, hate them for their religion, leave them, never rely on them for support, do not admire them, and always oppose them in every way according to Islamic law."

See America as hostile territory: "It is forbidden for a Muslim to become a citizen of a country governed by infidels because this is a means of acquiescing to their infidelity and accepting all their erroneous ways."

Prepare for war against America: "To be true Muslims, we must prepare and be ready for jihad in Allah's way. It is the duty of the citizen and the government."

Can ANYONE read the above and still believe that Saudi Arabia, with it's hateful creed of Wahabism, is a friend to the US? Or that Islam in it's most prosperous forms is in any way a "Religion of Peace"?

Remember, this is being taught to Muslims in THIS country, we are supporting a nest of vipers on our own shores and it would behoove us to destroy the nest before we are fatally bitten.

I am NOT talking about treating Muslims as if they were blacks under the old Jim Crow era, I am talking about investigating what is truly being fomented in the Mosques and alerting the American public to it.
In those cases where concrete actions have been taken by members of the RoP in undermining the stability of the US; prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

hat tip to Kim du Toit

Many of the left have been continually repeating the meme that President Bush should have spent more time in trying to get the UN to uphold their own sanctions against Saddam Hussein...then they point to some member countries of the EU negotiating with Iran on the their nuclear program as the "way it SHOULD have been done".

Yeah Right. Europe has offered Iran trade and technological, and financial aid "carrots" to try to forstall using a military "stick" in the event that Iran goes ahead with it's troubleing programs. The result? lets just see what the Iranian attitude is:

Iran will never scrap its nuclear program, and talks with Europeans are intended to protect the country's nuclear achievements, not negotiate an end to them."(emphasis mine)

The Iranians seem to be "troubled by the slowness of the pace of the talks", yet they seem to be unwilling to concede anything to move those talks forward. In essence, they are using nuclear blackmail without even having any nuclear weapons. Just imagine the problem that would arise should they ever attain the status of a nuclear power!

The important thing to realize here is that the Iranians themselves are SAYING that they will never give up their nuclear programs, and yet still expect other countries to negotiate the ending of those programs in good faith. Even the Moonbat left should have the sense to realize that such a position is just plain ludricrous.

The Iranis claim that their nuclear programs are only for energy, not for weapons......in one of the most oil rich nations in the world? Only a recent product of our public schools would fall for such an obvious disconnect between rhetoric and reality.
