It’s an interesting reflection that if Paxo had said he hated Africans, the disabled or even the young, there would have been an uproar. But the elderly are easy game, and he can be rude about them with impunity.

Unfortunately, the left is fully aware of this.

Elderly are seen by the left as predominately white and conservative.

If you think society hates the elderly now, just wait until it becomes even more 'diverse' and more broke.

RE:”It can scarcely be disputed that people in their 70s, 80s and 90s are increasingly made to feel they are part of a burdensome minority which is more or less surplus to requirement. What is particularly disturbing is that the kind of prejudice expressed recently by Jeremy Paxman — who said Britain has too many elderly people, and that there should be a Dignitas [the Swiss suicide] clinic ‘on every street corner’ — is now widely shared, particularly by the agencies of the State.”

Aging as opposed to dying gets very expensive for many who clearly don't have that type of $$$ it takes to live comfortably, so they end up in nursing hell-hole homes paid for by Federal medicaid, which of course price controls the payments.

Unfortunately I have seen relatives get old and disabled and fear that they will live too long and end up in one of them.

The elderly are not a burden. They are a source of wisdom that is too often left untapped.

I’ve seen this bigoted attitude toward the “old” right here on this site.

there are millions of smart mouth idiots under 30, that i wish did not come from the American gene pool!

FOR THE ELDERLY

Dear Lord,

as my life declines 

and my energies decrease,

more than ever hold me by Your Power,

that I may not offend You,

but daily increase in Your Love.

Give me strength to work in Your Service 

till the last day of my life.

Help me to ever have 

an increasing dread of venial sin,

or whatever would cause 

the slightest withdrawal of Your love,

all day long,

and at night keep me close to Your Heart;

and should I die, ere the morning breaks,

may I go rejoicing in that vision 

of Your entrancing beauty,

never to be separated from You.

Amen.

[Jimmy Valentine]

Wait until the death panels get really rolling. Going to have to be damned nimble to stay alive if you are over 70.

Not when there were 80 million “Baby Boomers” supporting them in the 80’s & 90’s. Let the good times roll and kick the can down the road!
Will kill those suckas off with Obamacare!
Next!
