8.27.09 – Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

Well here we go again – I’ve only read two of Jim Fitzgerald’s “Leaning Left” and the thoughts of a year of this, truly makes me ill.  The folks that do not know about Terry Schiavo will learn, if they investigate, and they may wonder about you Mr. Fitzgerald, and the truth.  First of all, Terry was not comatose!  For your information, comatose patients do not respond with smiles to their loved ones.  Second, to quote you ….”whose husband decided to remove life support systems to allow her to die”..WHAT A JOKE!!! Mr. Schiavo already had a child by another woman and couldn’t wait to get his hands on the “big bucks” allotted for Terry’s keep, so he could get on with the fun in his life!!
Her father, mother and siblings were willing to hand over any monies and take care of Terry if Schiavo would allow them to.  Maybe someone was afraid Terry would get well enough to tell just what did happen to her in the first place!

Your comparing the actions of Senators John Cornyn, Chuck Grassley, Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader, John Boehner of Terry’s case with the now case of Health Care, is like mixing apples and oranges.  Honey, they are just not the same!    So far in this weeks article, the only dishonesty and lies as you put it, have come only from your pen.    Your comment - “Personally I would not want to lay in a coma for years…..sounds to me like some one already has,  but may I remind the readers that Terry was not in a COMA.

If you are going to lie about one thing, you will lie about another, and I have decided never to read your remarks again.  So if you should learn to tell the truth,of which I doubt,  I will not even know it unless you inform me personally.

Oh, and by the way, this comes from “a moral high ground conservative Christian” a sinner redeemed from sin by Jesus Christ! Praise God!

Sincerely,
Jean Holsapple
