I remember when the Pledge of allegiance was changed. We recited it every day.

I Pledge Allegiance
to the flag
of the United States of America
and to the Republic
for which it stands,
one Nation
under God,
indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.

There was a pause after each line so each line was free standing. Therefore when "under God" was added it was a freestanding line also. Some said it, some didn't, nobody cared.

Unhappy The FL Sup Court is Wrong to Go Against Laws

I think Terri Schiavo would be better off dead but its not for you and me to say. Its for her parents and her husband to say and they are not in agreement so the government has get involved. Well, the government is not in unanimous agreement either. Hence, we are in the mess we are in.

You can single out one side or the other for ridicule and that is your right. But, your view remains "one man's opinion" and has no more legitimacy than anyone else's.


Michael Schiavo is only making the excuse that Terri Schiavo wouldn't want to live on artificial life support so that he could get a court order to have her feeding tube removed. He only did that so that he can marry another woman and collect money! Michael Schiavo is going to pay for what he is doing. He is wicked. What Judge Greer did was Illegal and the Florida Supreme Court is very immoral to go against laws. God is going to punish Michael Schiavo. He is trying to kill Terri just so that he can marry another woman and collect money! I know his girlfriend has been his fiance for awhile now. That is the proof why he got that damn court order! He manipulated the judge into giving him a court order. IF Terri Schiavo dies Michael Schiavo will be getting away with murder. I pray that someone stops what the Supreme Court is doing! The supreme court has no right to go against laws! That is immoral big time. NO Terri Schiavo doesn't deserve to die. She deserves to live. Michael Schiavo had no damn right to say that Terri wouldn't want to live artificially! He only said that so that he could take her off her feeding tube to marry another woman! He has a girlfriend and has two kids with this woman! How the hell can that not tell you why he did that! If no one stops what Michael Schiavo is doing, He will be getting away with murder. HE is a murder and Jesus Christ knows it! God is going to punish Micheal big time. He is a murderer and a adulterer. He is wicked. He does not have Terri's best interest at heart. He gave up on Terri a long damn time ago. He just wants her money and to marry his damn fiance.

You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

And the best part is that it could be _any_ of those words.

You are AWESOME. Would you happen to be in the protest lines down in Pinnellas Park? What does the sign say that you are holding?

Hey, maybe CloeTaz8795 is a talk show pundit! The writing is incoherent and repetitive enough.

I want CloeTaz to do some research and find out what the law is in Florida, then say that Judge Greer is doing something illegal.

Idjit.

On another note, I was talking to Husband about the whole thing and about the "religious extremist" discussion, and he posited that there probably ARE moderate Christians out there, who are speaking out against people like Randall Terry, but the media doesn't talk about those Christians because they aren't...well..extreme enough for soundbites.

I mean really, the media is going to televise "Yes, I'm a Christian preaching hatred" waaay before they televise, "He's a freak, don't listen to him."

Extremism is news. Moderacy is not.

Moderacy doesn't sell, either. And, in a lot of cases lately, if the news isn't exciting, the media will ensure it is through some means of hype.

Scary.

Hilarious picture, by the way, vsp. Ugh, I see the corner of a "Jeb!" sign in the lower right. So much for this not being political...

You're right on target, completely.

One minor thing, though, I would say that Extremeism is not news by itself, but that is has the advantage over moderacy in that it is more compelling. It is more likely to attract and keep your attention through the commercial breaks, and therefore more appealing to the people who program the media.

BOOM! Got your attention, now stay tuned (through this commercial break) for more purient content /cue teaser trailer/

Jeb is the only reason this whole story is more than a brief mention nationwide.
