“If you pass the Stupak amendment, more children will be born, and therefore it will cost us millions more. That’s one of the arguments I’ve been hearing,” Stupak says. “Money is their hang-up. Is this how we now value life in America? If money is the issue — come on, we can find room in the budget. This is LIFE we’re talking about.”
If was any doubt that Sarah Palin’s warning about the death cult the democrat party has become since the ultra-radical progressive movement wrested control of the party from it’s more reasonable members, the above quotes should end that debate for all time.
Those words come from democrat Congressman Bart Stupak. Congressman Stupak is one of just a handful of principled democrats left in government, and a real hero.
Stupak, of course, is talking about abortion funding here. You see, like most Americans, Congressman Stupak believes in the sanctity of life. He is leading a small group of like minded democrats who oppose tax payer funded abortion.
When Sarah Palin wrote her famous blog post pointing out the reality that her beautiful son, because of his disability, and her parents, because of their age, would not fare well when they went before ObamaCare’s “death panels” she was dead on.
Of course, the radical progressives lost their minds, and tried to discredit Sarah with all kinds of caterwauling and slight of hand, but at the end of the day, all Americans will face ObamaCare’s “death panels” each and every time they need health care.
Look, I won’t rehash all of this over and over. Long time readers as well as newcomers can search my blog archives for complete analysis. But here are the highlights:
First of all, yes, there will be “death panels” and no, they won’t be called that. As we have talked about, ad nauseam, there will be “comparative medicine boards” where a group of faceless, nameless bureaucrats will decide who gets care and who doesn’t. This won’t be based on what will be best for the patient, these people won’t be weighing on the best medical practices for an individual.
You see, these “comparative medicine boards” will be made up of accountants, bean counters. Their only goal will be saving the government, which will be in complete control of health care, money. The easiest way to cut costs is to deny, or limit, coverage to those deemed “unworthy.”
The ramifications from this twisted thinking are enormous.
Even worse, we all know that it is all but impossible to fire a government worker, once they are entrenched, and there will be almost no way to meaningfully appeal one of the poor decisions made by these government drones.
The bottom line is this: Once ObamaCare becomes law, the only thing that will matter to the government is shaving costs. Let’s face it, the government, because of entitlements already promised, is broke. Adding a couple of trillion dollars more, just to start, isn’t going to help matters a whole lot.
How will the government save money? By only treating the “productive” members of society, of course!
Rahm Emanuel’s brother, Dr Ezekiel Emanuel, Obama’s health care advisor, literally wrote the book that sets up, not only the “death panels” but the guidelines for who should be allowed to live, and who can be left to die.
Emanuel, vying for the title of “America’s Josef Mengele” wrote about the “complete lives system.” This lays out the argument that only the most productive deserve the best health care. Every American should read this. It comes from a truly diseased mind, and represents the progressive movement that controls the democrat party completely. Read it all here.
Here is a chart that explains the thinking of the radical left:
As you see, once you get past 30 years of age, the government won’t think very much of your ability to be productive. How insane is that?
What is so glaring to me though, is just how vile and cold these progressive democrats are. Of course, progressives have pushed the mass murder of babies since the turn of the last century. Ever since Margaret Sanger worked to make abortion acceptable, to “cleanse” the earth of blacks and other “human weeds” (her words) progressives have been on board. Sanger’s Planned Parenthood is the holy church of the progressive movement. The right to murder babies is one thing this bunch will actually go to war over.
Even so, for the death cult to openly admit they want massive tax payer funded abortions, and less babies…LESS AMERICANS… to save money for this unconstitutional ObamaCare boondoggle is simply breathtaking.
Quite simply, fewer babies means fewer people ObamaCare will have to cover.
There is something inherently evil in this sort of thinking.
Congressman Stupack made the above comments as part of a lengthy interview with National Review Online. The interview paints a horrific picture of what is happening with the health care debate is a must read. Here’s some more:
Sitting in an airport, on his way home to Michigan, Rep. Bart Stupak, a pro-life Democrat, is chagrined. “They’re ignoring me,” he says, in a phone interview with National Review Online. “That’s their strategy now. The House Democratic leaders think they have the votes to pass the Senate’s health-care bill without us. At this point, there is no doubt that they’ve been able to peel off one or two of my twelve. And even if they don’t have the votes, it’s been made clear to us that they won’t insert our language on the abortion issue.”
According to Stupak, that group of twelve pro-life House Democrats — the “Stupak dozen” — has privately agreed for months to vote ‘no’ on the Senate’s health-care bill if federal funding for abortion is included in the final legislative language. Now, in the debate’s final hours, Stupak says the other eleven are coming under “enormous” political pressure from both the White House and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.). “I am a definite ‘no’ vote,” he says. “I didn’t cave. The others are having both of their arms twisted, and we’re all getting pounded by our traditional Democratic supporters, like unions.”
Read it all here.
The sanctity of life, the protection of the innocent, is what sets us apart from the lower species. It should alarm all people, worldwide, that this President and his Congress not only want to promote the destruction of human life, in a crass attempt to save money for a health care overhaul that the American people don’t even want, but want the American people to pay for it too!
It’s fantastically evil.
It’s also one more reason that ObamaCare must be defeated and the progressives run completely out of government for all time.
A Bummercare with children is not as bad as a Bummercare without children. If the Rats can bring in that 11 year old kid whose mama allegedly died for want of medical care, surely the Pubs can douse doll parts with ketchup?
Everyone in America needs to know that they love money more than children.
Socialist health care = Children are too expensive to allow to be born.
Pass it along, shout it loud!
What has this country turned into ? This is beyond sad.
One of the biggest problems with entitlement programs is the lack of working people to support it. You’d think they would want more kids, not less, to try to make this a sustainable concern.
Yeah; it’ll pass. Stupak’s coalition is crumbling. I wish they had a leader with a little more fire in his belly. It wouldn’t surprise me if Pelosi and B. Hussein Obama get to Stupak.
I agree.
The Dems have killed off a large segment of their voting block in the last 40 years. The Libs who aborted would have raised “little Libs” who would be a big voting bloc now.
Hanity and Rush both think that Stupak will flip and vote for the bill. I can’t imagine that he will flip after these comments. But, I guess I’m really hoping that he will not flip.
I agree. Let’s hope he stands by his word. One problem though there is a (d) after his name - Hannity and Rush very well may be right.
The main questions are this: (1) If there’s no change at all in the Senate Bill, will Stupak and his coalition vote no? (2) If they vote no, will there be enough no to defeat the bill?
Yeah, it’s passing. I have seen very few RATs over the year who couldn’t be bought off.
Communism is not a pretty thing. Communism is about the state, NOT THE PEOPLE. The state is number one. The great “unwashed masses” are just an inconvenient but necessary nuisance. The people are needed to support the government and those who run it.
The new genocide... convince middle class predominately white Americans to NOT reproduce or kill their progeny... repopulate the US with those who who are escaping tyranny in the third world and voila they will vote Democrat - strengthening power of the RATS for the next millennium. It’s all about power.
Sounds like a crazy Hollyweird movie.
“…more children will be born, and therefore it will cost us millions more…”
I see, and no one realizes that this cost will be passed on to cover illegal aliens instead of natural and native born Americans!
Abortion = Genocide by Proxy.
Says who?
We should let the dems know that if we defeat obamacare, and they are a no vote we will vote for them in November.
Defeat this bill is even more important then winning the house back.
We will still have thew senate in November!

When did Rush say that? I just checked GOP_Lady's Friday post and saw nothing to suggest Rush believes he'll flip.
Rush said it a couple times last week, but Stupak has now said things that there is no turning back! Stupak is a sold no vote now and we should be backing him up and praying for him. This man is a good Dem and if it wasn't for him obamacare would already be law!
