I love your post! My mother is going into a nice Catholic facility this year. Your post makes me feel so much happier!
We have a proven solution to control and eliminate government death panels. It was called World War II.
Seems Margaret Sanger’s bloody legacy is unfolding. Some
say abortion is now a right and cannot be challenged by
law. When we allow people to kill from the womb to the Old Folks Home and both sides working towards the middle what
happens to the generation now entrusted to the Government school K-12 programs?
I left the Church for about 15 years. I can share that coming home was the absolute best blessing that God has given me. ;-)
PS Did you know that John Wayne’s grandson is a priest?

Cradle to grave ObamaCare apparently includes morning after pills and abortion on demand to avoid the cradle, abortion in infancy, pro-gay indoctrination from kindergarten on to discourage procreation, NannyState supervision of the size of soft drinks and popcorn to control midlife costs, and now an early trip to the grave - all to save government money. Now that it’s government money paying for everything, it’s the government’s decision whether you get treated or even get to live. “O brave new world, that has such people in’t.”
My wife and I have “living wills.” No “heroic measures.” No long-term life support.
Well they have sucessfully convinced ‘us’ that abortion is fine for birth control and that we come form evil people and our heritage is not important so killing old folks should be easy.
I think I’m finally going home. I just feel it in my bones.
Yes, I did know the Duke had a grandson who was a priest. I recently got to shake hands with Michael Wayne (his son) at a John Wayne memorabilia auction. I was - as always - priced out of the stuff!
It’s not just about “pulling the plug”. It’s about denying some segments of the population medical care.

Correct. But it's for your own good.

How are they currently "free"? Someone's paying for them somewhere along the line.
I agree! I think as adults we should be allowed to make decisions when it comes to “if” I’m (or family member) critically ill. I have stipulated my wishes to family and my doctor. I want to die with dignity not kept alive cause of someone else’s ideals. I won’t allow either side make this decision for me.
There was a great article in the Prevention magazine back in April with regards to dying with dignity called “Safe Passage.” It sounds better than average nursing homes.
The sad fact is we don’t have the money or resources to give everyone gold plated care. But we shouldn’t be killing them off just to save costs.
As the boomer bubble starts to age into their twilight years, you will see a big push to kill them off to save costs. And with the moral formation of the average person these days, they will start killing them off.
how about all the feds get in line first who is over 40!
Good point there. Wonder how long before the powers that be start ignoring our written wishes or even our personally designated powers of attorney.
Thank you! :)
We’ve already got mobile euthanasia teams—it’s called the modern commercial hospice.
My mother is Catholic, and although she hadn’t attended Mass in quite a few years, mostly due to illness, her nursing home has a large lounge about four doors down from her room and in the corner is a small Catholic alter, with a small organ, that is pulled out when a Priest comes once or twice a week for Mass. She’s been wheeling herself down there a few times lately! She made my kids laugh when I said “oh, your calendar says they had mass today, how was it?” and she got a smirk on her face and her eyes going back and forth like a little kid who had been caught skipping going to church! I said Mom, you don’t have to go, but it’s only 4 doors down! She said well, I can stay in my bed, sleep in late, and still
hear most of the Mass! I’ll admit my family should go more often to church, but the kids thought it was great Grandma could stay in bed AND say she attended Mass!
I LOVE your feisty attitude!
