I will give full credit in about 15 minutes from the original posting... I was quite frankly surpised...you may be too! No cheating...guess without Google...


<snip>
Let's just take a look at the actions of some of the people protesting outside of Terri Schiavo's hospice.

At the end of the street is Triple O Auto. It's an auto repair shop operated by a single father trying to raise two sons. The triple O stands for "On Our Own." Protestors have been parking in the Triple O driveway. When Scotty Jackson, the owner, asked one of the protestors to move his car the man waved his Bible at Scotty, shouted some obscenities and walked off. Criticize this protestor and you're Christian bashing.

Protestors have been demanding that Florida Governor Jeb Bush ignore the rulings of the various courts in this matter and seize Terri Schiavo from the hospice. If you point out that we are a government of law and that it is wrong for someone to ask a government official to ignore the law, you're Christian bashing.

Over the weekend Governor Bush did dispatch a team of State agents in vans to travel to Pinellas Park and take Terri Schiavo into custody. The Pinellas Park police told them that they had better bring a Judge with them or they were going to go away empty handed. If you criticize Governor Bush for his actions, you're Christian Bashing.

If you question the wisdom of a father sending his 10-year-old son to be arrested trying to take water into Terri, you're Christian bashing and you hate God.

There are 70 other patients in that hospice. They're all dying. Because of the protestors they can't come outside the hospice to sit in their gardens and enjoy their last Spring. If you say that the protestors are hurting the other dying patients at the hospice, you're Christian bashing.

If you mention that Randall Terry, the Schindler's chief spokesman, has repeatedly called for Christians to conquer America for God and to turn it into a Christian theocracy, you're Christian bashing.

If you tell a woman standing outside of the hospice with a sign that says "rehabilitate Terri," that Terri can't be rehabilitated, you're Christian bashing.

If you suggest that the Republican Party being held hostage by religious extremists ... you guessed it. You're Christian bashing.

10. I'd heard he was against interfering in the private business of

the Schiavos and was in fact lamenting the fact that he was down to "16 listeners." I also noticed that in your snippet he leads off with, seemingly emphasizing, the plight of individuals trying to run their own business. He also likes to repeat things in that kindergarten-talk kind of way. Guess his followers don't get the message unless it's presented in a way that someone with a 3rd-grade education can understand and pay attention to.
Excellent catch! As much as I detest the man with every fiber of my being I must commend him for grasping the essence of the problem very well and making the point excellently.

7. You, perhaps?

If so, you seem to have summed it up very well. I'll definitely save it, and use parts of it. I tried Googling it, but came up empty. But I guess by the "snips", that it WAS by someone else; almost certainly by an "old-fashioned" Republican.

11. That is one great statement -

There are 70 other patients in that hospice. They're all dying. Because of the protestors they can't come outside the hospice to sit in their gardens and enjoy their last Spring. If you say that the protestors are hurting the other dying patients at the hospice, you're Christian bashing.

I don't know if that's "Christian Bashing" per s but it really points out a central issue of this which is that all this time and effort is being spent to try to "err on the side of" one persons life, while at the same time inflicying pain and suffering on the lives of so many others.

I never even considered that. A hospice should absolutely be a place of peace where families have the peace to reconcile what is going on with their loved ones.

To not respect that, to me, really dishonors the "culture of life".

12. The public elementary school on the same street

had to move classes today, due to fear that the protestors outside would get too noisy, trespass on school property, and interfere with classes.

but if you point that out, you're christian bashing.

13. another in a chain of christian bashing

I am a fairly rabid fundy christian (by many standards) but these people just baffle me...

14. The pro-life protestors had signs asking passer-bys to honk for

Terry - all in front of a hospice. Guess they assumed the building was sound proof.

If anyone had pointed out that they were asking people to make noise at a hospice...it would be christian bashing.

(I purposely delete the capital in christian when referring to some of them.)

15. true true
