“The ‘death panel’ charge stuck because it tapped into the primeval fears of millions of Americans. It’s only human to worry that we might someday be abandoned when we are old and sick, and thus judged to be a social burden. Such worries run especially deep among senior citizens, who had the most reason to feel vulnerable...

There's a certain amount of Cosmic justice involved here.

Our vaunted and venerated Senior Citizens have been voting for these control freaks for decades. Falling for their promises of goodies and bennies while not considering that it will be their own children and grandchildren who will pay for it all.

Not ALL of them obviously, but enough.

I saw a bumper sticker on an RV once that read, "Spending our kids' inheritance"

Yeah. Not to mention their taxes.

Okay. Commence flaming.....now.

Please be careful what you say, because all of ‘The Greatest Generation’ aren’t dead, yet. You have no idea how many of the Boomer generation were Patriots. A bunch of insane kooks like Ayers do not represent the whole group.

I have a family member facing the death panel soon, as she has run out of money (over $100,000 cash wiped out within 2 years by dems who took control of the money via her disgruntled sister) and is being transferred from the DSS control of person, to an agency for the person that makes these ‘end of life planning’ decisions.

She told everyone beware Obama, and did not vote for him.

I find the following statement offensive....ignorant. My generation is more conservative than younger generations.

Unbelievable!

I have been saying for sometime now that I pity the fate in store for the Boomers.

A great many in my generation will have little issue with this. After hearing for years that we OWE them a second childhood, the next logical step is that the one paying the bills gets to make the decisions.

Sadly, most don’t want to hear that. The life of a turkey is mighty fine till the day before Thanksgiving I guess.

I think you are in error, TX Eagle, at least on this point. The WWII generation had it's roots in a much more decent, honest, and civilized era. This is very foreign to us now, but then it was true that a man's word was good as gold. Not always of course but generally.

They never dreamed the government would morph into such a corrupt and self-serving organization. Who ever imagined a government systematically dismantling the fabric of this great nation AND a media so willing to aid and abet?

I think you should cut them a little more slack.

Despicable.
