Is it just me or did the Liberal Left elected themselves another Jack Kevorkian for President.

Did Obama Say We Should Kill the Old Folks to Save Money Last Night?
Article posted in The Patriot Depot

Save money? I thought the left kept saying money doesn't matter with healthcare?
I am wondering when the euthanasia folks are going to start touting this one? I mean, it sure seemed to me as if the most caring, most civil, most intelligent president evah just said that healthcare could be cheaper if we don’t give old folks and the infirm the full measure of care they now get. It appeared that Obama said we should just let them die or suffer because they aren’t worth the effort. Imagine if Bush had said something like this? The left wouldn’t have hesitated to call him any manner of names.

Obama said during the ABC Special on Wednesday night that a way to save healthcare costs is to abandon the sort of care that “evidence shows is not necessarily going to improve” the patient’s health. He went on to say that he had personal familiarity with such a situation when his grandmother broke her hip after she was diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Obama offered a question on the efficacy of further care for his grandmother saying, “and the question was, does she get hip replacement surgery, even though she was fragile enough they were not sure how long she would last?”

But who is it that will present the “evidence” that will “show” that further care is futile? Are we to believe that Obama expects individual doctors will make that decision in his bold new government controlled healthcare future? If he is trying to make that claim it is a flat out untruth and he knows it.

Does your homebuilder negotiate with your city hall over whether you get a building permit, or does the permit get levied no matter what? Does a cop decide if you really broke the law, or does he simply arrest you and let the courts hash it out? Does your tax preparer negotiate with the IRS or is he supposed to just calculate your tax bill on their terms and have you pay the required amount?

Government does not work by negotiation. Government does not work from the bottom up. It works from the top down. This singular fact means that no doctor will be deciding if you are too old or infirm to get medical care. It will be a medically untrained bureaucrat that sets a national rule that everyone will have to obey. There won’t be any room for your grandma to have a different outcome than anyone else’s.

So, what will it be then? Who will decide when medical care is just too expensive to bother with? Who will be left to perish because they just aren’t worth the lifesaving effort? Well, for sure it won’t be any members of Congress or anyone that works for the federal government because they won’t be expected to suffer under the nationally socialized plan. It also won’t be Obama’s buddies in the unions who are about to be similarly exempted from the national plan, at least if Senator Max Baucus has his way.

Ah, but we are told that Obama’s ideas on healthcare are “evolving,” dontcha know? During the recent campaign for president (that was only 7 months ago, if you’ll recall) Obama insisted that he would never tax your healthcare benefits from work. He even ridiculed McCain for proposing such a plan. Lately, however, he’s “evolved” toward saying that such a new tax is on the table. What about his stance against fining people and businesses that don’t join his UberPlan? He was against that sort of coerciveness before. Now he’s “evolved.”

Originally, he said it was “healthcare for all,” but as of Wednesday night, it seems he’s “evolved” to say that only those worth the bother should get healthcare. The rest should be left to died and/or suffer. If he does any more “evolving” we’ll all be finding just who is “worth” what as far as he and his Democrats are concerned. Somehow I’d guess that many of you reading this today won’t quite be worth as much as certain others!

Let’s hope none of us are ever in a position to find out if Obamacare deems our grandmothers worth saving.

And what ever happened to the left’s mantra that healthcare is a “right” and that money should never enter into a life or death decision? Now The One is saying it’s just too darn expensive to save the old and infirm? Will our friends on the left now disown Obama the “murderer”?

THOUGH THE AUTHOR OF THIS ARTICLE IS CLEARLY EXPRESSING HIS OWN OPINION, he does bring to attention a point I've often wondered ( and WARNED others ) might happen since the Terri Schiavo case a few years ago.

To refresh you about the case, on April 24, 2001 Schiavo's feeding tube was removed for the first time and then later reinserted several days later as legal decisions were made; increasing media attention led to involvement by politicians and advocacy groups, particularly those involved in the pro-life movement and disability rights, including members of the Florida Legislature, the United States Congress, and the President of the United States. In March 2005 President Bush returned to Washington D.C. from a vacation to sign legislation designed to keep Schiavo alive, making the case a major national news story throughout that month. In all, the Schiavo case involved 14 appeals and numerous motions, petitions, and hearings in the Florida courts; five suits in federal district court; Florida legislation struck down by the Supreme Court of Florida; a subpoena by a congressional committee to qualify Schiavo for witness protection; federal legislation (the Palm Sunday Compromise); and four denials of certiorari from the Supreme Court of the United States.

The local court's decision to disconnect Schiavo from life support was carried out on March 18, 2005, and Schiavo died of effects of dehydration at a Pinellas Park hospice on March 31. The case is viewed as an important case in clinical ethics. Some deplore it as a case that went against decades of progress that has enabled individuals the freedom to control and limit medical interventions performed on them.


If I'm correct, hasn't Oregon legalized euthanasia in the past 15 or 20 years. It makes me glad I live in the mid-west. But should the above author ( Mr. Huston ) be anywhere close to correct in his assessment of the president's speech, aired on ABC without allowing a requested commercial airing of the Republican counterpoint on the matter, then we might as well rename the United States of America to it's new name;

THE UNITED STATES OF OBAMEGON,

because there won't be anywhere safe for the elderly in this country any longer. Besides me, does anyone else feel the cold, boney fingers of the Forth Horseman riding just around the corner?

Brrrrrrrrrrrr.

Perez Hilton Gets What He Asks For...........(sort of).

DRAMA QUEEN and homosexual advocate PEREZ HILTON launched racial and homosexual insults at BLACK EYED PEAS member,Will.I.Am, after the Much Music Video Awards in Toronto over the weekend. Somewhere during the malicious word fest "assault" from Perez Hilton, someone allegedly assaulted Hilton with a few punches to the face leaving a visible cut to his eye. Hilton says it was the manager for the group who assaulted him after first suggesting that it was Will.I.Am that threw the punches. It hasn't been determined as of yet just who assaulted Hilton. As far as anyone knows it might have been someone outside the group who may have been responsible.

After the alleged assault, Hilton post the following on his website:




It's about time someone gave Perez Hilton a "Black Eye" for his stupid, hatefully outrageous comments. After the way he abused the former Miss California, Carrie Prejean, after her response against a question asked her by Hilton at the pageant dealing with same sex marriage, costing her the crown and title of Miss U.S.A., I don't think he should be surprised by the reaction. And he should come up with a better story than the current one he's giving if he wants to sue (to which, in my opinion he would lose).

And later during his rant, Hilton wanted to invoke GOD's name in to his "crybaby" tirade, claiming GOD was "watching" and knows the truth.

DUH !!!

God sees everything, Perez. But I didn't think you believed in GOD much less love and obey him. Besides, I'm fairly certain that GOD "was" looking down and decided he found you WANTING. And GOD obviously agreed with you and gave you "what" you wanted and definitely deserved.

A "BLACK EYE"!



Way to go GOD.

Palin verses Letterman. ( Where's A-Rod?)

Well, IMO, David Letterman has gone way to far with his "sick" style of comedy.







And Governor Sarah Palin's reaction concerning Letterman's remarks is completely understandable. Were it "MY DAUGHTER", whether 14 years old or 18 years old, Mr. Letterman had the audacity to refer to in like manner, I don't believe I would be as restrained as she was.






What is bothering me though is "WHERE IS ALEX RODRIGUEZ" and why hasn't he responded to his name being used by Letterman? How is it he is not bothered by his name being associated with Gov. Palin's daughter in such a sickening manner? Is being compared to a child molester and rapist by these so-called "jokes" from Letterman not worthy a response from him?


Were it my name being ruined by "humor" of this nature you can bet I would DEMAND an apology for BOTH myself and the young girl whose only crime was watching a baseball game. It fact, I would be looking to see if I could hold Letterman LEGALLY ACCOUNTABLE for his comments.


It appears Liberals like Letterman and A-ROD have NO SHAME where women are involved. Or their young daughters.
