"Don't worry, dhimmis.
WE (in Congress and our mistresses) and all of Islam
are not under ObamaCARE or death panels.
Therefore, rest assured that WE will win
even as you, your children and grandchildren will die."

PM Attlee was the British equivalent of Obama - Bloat the welfare and social services, nationalize everything that you can get away with. Why he is held in reverence by some in Britain is beyond me. He, single handedly, ended British dominance in ANYTHING!

I always enjoy Winston Churchill description of Attlee as “a modest man with much to be modest about.”

Palin said that socialized medicine would include death panels. Half of America and 98% of journalists think she is stupid for making such a silly claim. It’s already in the UK, and it’s coming here.

One of my relatives is treating for brain cancer. Sad to think that if my relative lived in Great Britain, they would let the person die.
