Palin: Open mouth, insert anything please! Just Shut-Up!
She’s been nice and quiet for the last couple of weeks and besides missing her insane Twitter updates, we’ve been pretty happy to have her begin to fade away from the media spotlight. But it seems that she just can’t stay away:
“Who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course,” the former vice presidential candidate wrote on her Facebook page.
“The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s ‘death panel’ so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their ‘level of productivity in society,’ whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil,” Palin wrote.
Aside from her asinine comments and inaccuracies about healthcare, what sets me off more is the continued fairy-tale land belief of evil and good. Ooooh, Obama’s healthcare plan is eeeeviiiillll… ooooohhhh, aaaaahhhhh (release the ghost cut-outs, cue smoke machines). Really, does anyone over the age of five believe their is some absolute evil or good in the world?
For some information on healthcare fact and fiction you can check out this list, or you could listen to the same guys that the GOP listen to,
As it is, the healthcare that is needed is being watered down and destroyed by Blue Dog Dems, and fake constituent mob attacks. What America needs is a single payer healthcare system; screw private insurers because we all know they’ve been doing it to us for years.
Oh, Sarah Palin, Fairy God Mother of all that is ignorant and confused, when will the Tooth Fairy take you back to La La Land?
complex post. simply one unimportant where I quarrel with it. I am emailing you in detail.
It is very American to want to help our fellow countryman. I believe in my government especially our men and women in our military, firefighters and police. You, not so much. Lets face it the previous administration did nothing (except start two wars of choice that are bankrupting our country with all the “war profiteering” contracts to Halliburton) well you and I will just have to agree to not agree. I did not believe any of the Republican rhetoric before the last election and I do not believe them now. I do not believe that your sentiments are in line with the majority, but I did real enjoy your comments, good stuff.
It’s funny we hear Republicans say that they do not want “faceless bureaucrats” making medical decisions but they have no problem with “private sector” “faceless bureaucrats” daily declining medical coverage and financially ruining good hard working people. And who says that the “private sector” is always right, do we forget failures like Long-Term Capital, WorldCom, Global Crossing, Enron, Tyco, AIG and Lehman Brothers. Of course the federal government will destroy heathcare by getting involved, Oh but wait, Medicare and Medicaid and our military men and women and the Senate and Congress get the best heathcare in the world, and oh, that’s right, its run by our federal government. I can understand why some may think that the federal government will fail, if you look at the past eight years as a current history, with failures like the financial meltdown and Katrina but the facts is they can and if we support them they will succeed.
How does shouting down to stop the conversation of the healthcare debate at town hall meetings, endears them to anyone. Especially when the organizations that are telling them where to go and what to do and say are Republicans political operatives, not real grassroots. How does shouting someone down or chasing them out like a lynch mob advanced the debate, it does not. So I think the American people will see through all of this and know, like the teabagger, the birthers, these lynch mobs types are just the same, people who have to resort to these tactics because they have no leadership to articulate what they real want. It’s easy to pickup a bus load of people who hate, and that’s all I been seeing, they hate and can’t debate. Too bad.
These people don’t want to help reform, they want to obstruct it. They are scared of change, even if it’s for the better.
People are basically unwilling to face a rather obvious economic truth: In this world there are only a few ways for each of us to obtain the things that we desire. We can produce the things ourselves starting from scratch, produce something valued by others and use that in trade for what we want, take the things from others by force or fraud, or receive them as gifts of charity. Only the first two of these are economic. Theft and charity cannot be universalized, because each can be achieved only by the prior production of others. It is this fact that led H.L. Mencken to note in his day that elections in America were nothing more than advanced auctions on stolen property.
