Hate to tell them, but my dad will be 72 soon and he still works full time.
Only a liberal could make a person thank God their grandmother died before all this crap hit.
Thank you GOP for lying to us all about your intent to fight it. Instead you KEEP FUNDING IT. And now you beg us for our votes?
FOAD.
When this country began murdering babies, it was only a matter of time before it would get around to the elderly and the infirm.
As the line from Casablanca goes, “human life is cheap.”
A business case could be made for setting Medicare
as a 10 year contract, to be initiated at any time,
but when it’s done, it’s done
If you initiate it at 75, it goes until 85
If you initiate it at 21, it goes until 31
Then you are on your own...
My Dad is 85 and still likes to mow my lawns - if it wasn’t for medical help he would have died 2 years ago when he had a stroke - now he is back as good as ever and should live until his nineties. These creeps would have left him to die but he has gotten to see his great grandchildren born - what a blessing - this guy is planning to die in potentially the best years of his life - but then again libs seem to value what they can do rather than who they are despite all the feel good BS they spout!
Emmanuel is a very very sick guy, and I don’t mean physically. His is a diseased brain, and it’s frightening that he has been granted power to see some of his sick ideas carried out. Let us pray that this latest admission never sees fruition in the rest of us.
He is socializing the concept that old people are parasites and not worth spending "limited" resources on.
This concept, just like global warming, will be picked up by the media and repeated by the godless nihilists that make up the dhimmi party w/ the intention of shaming anyone that lives past their "due date".
And like same-sex "marriage", what was once unthinkable will become accepted wisdom.
Palin’s cogent assessment of Obama’s “death panels” was absolutely correct. The Democrats’ War on Grandma has begun. (After all, there are many more old women than old men, and they use the medical resources of the nation more than any other group.)
Fortunately, for the Democrat death planners, the Republicans won’t say a word about this while they continue to heap scorn on Palin and the TEA Party.
When Hillary gets the nomination, the Republicans should ask her how many of her friend Zeke’s points she agrees with. They should also ask her if Zeke has or will have any role as a government consultant on health care. But of course they will never ask such questions. They just might be seen as too aggressive.
One thing that really struck me about his article was the absolute hubris of his thesis. Who is man, any man, to decide his own or any other man’s value to society?
His is the absolute opposite of a God centered world-view. In a God centered world view, if a person is born ( and even before birth while in the womb), then by definition, God has determined that they have worth, they should exist and that they are needed in the world He created. They are of full value to society, in whatever state they are in, until He decides to take them home, at which point, they leave. To think otherwise, as EE does, is to put oneself in the position of God.
Do you remember when Allan Grayson accused Repubicans of a “die quickly” policy for old people? So it is really the liberals behind Obamacare with that policy.
My dad lived another nine months. He died from complications of COPD. Had he not smoked he would have cruised easily into his eighties. He was still mentally sharp until the last month when the lack of oxygen began to get to him.
Those nine months with my dad were some of the best. We talked not only as dad and son but as men would talk. We talked about football, cars, etc. We talked about life, we talked about death. I told my dad I was as proud of him during that time as I ever was. Why? Because he handled it like the responsible man he had been teaching me to be.
I learned a lot about death that year and how we are to handle it. Why is this important? Because we have to teach the next generation that death is a part of life and we have to learn to handle it.
No guvment official should ever decide when someone should die. That includes those little ones in the womb.
I pray that when my appointed days on the earth are over and the Lord calls me home that I handle life like the man my dad taught me to be.
By Emanuel ‘s logic anyone not paying into the system should be denied health care. Therefore anyone on welfare or not paying into the system, should be denied health care. This seems the avenue to attack this fool.
I read this yesterday, not realizing who he was.
As I read article I wondered what he had to do with the annointed one.
Here is the primary evil of the original article: “...forces each of us to ask whether our consumption is worth our contribution.”
Sounds a lot like “useless eaters.”
This, truly, is the end result of leftist/statist policies.
I have been reading Paul Johnson’s “Modern Times” and an amazed again at the parallels between the Axis Powers and today’s liberal ideology as expressed by Obama and his cult.
Democrat former governor of Colorado Richard Lamm thirty years ago declared, seriously ill old people have a duty to die.
"You old people.. don't you love America? Then die already!" Obama-scare.
The Nazi in addition to killing Jews, the targeted groups included Ukrainians (of whom 3 million approximately were killed), Poles (2.5 million) and other Slavic peoples; Soviets (particularly prisoners of war); Romani people (also known as Gypsies) and others who did not belong to the Aryan Herrenvolk (Master Race) such as people with mental disorders, the deaf, the physically disabled, those with learning disabilities; gay men (and occasionally lesbians), transgender people; political opponents (such as communists, social democrats, socialists, anarchists and others with left-wing political views); and religious dissidents.

More lovely quotes from this hideous piece of scum:
“Every favor to a constituency should be linked to support for the health-care reform agenda. If the automakers want a bailout, then they and their suppliers have to agree to support and lobby for the administration’s health-reform effort.”
“Unlike allocation by sex or race, allocation by age is not invidious discrimination; every person lives through different life stages rather than being a single age. Even if 25-year-olds receive priority over 65-year-olds, everyone who is 65 years now was previously 25 years.”
“Ultimately, the complete lives system does not create ‘classes of Untermenschen whose lives and well being are deemed not worth spending money on,’ but rather empowers us to decide fairly whom to save when genuine scarcity makes saving everyone impossible.”
“Strict youngest-first allocation directs scarce resources predominantly to infants. This approach seems incorrect. The death of a 20-year-old woman is intuitively worse than that of a 2-month-old girl, even though the baby has had less life. The 20-year-old has a much more developed personality than the infant, and has drawn upon the investment of others to begin as-yet-unfulfilled projects.... Adolescents have received substantial substantial education and parental care, investments that will be wasted without a complete life. Infants, by contrast, have not yet received these investments.... It is terrible when an infant dies, but worse, most people think, when a three-year-old child dies, and worse still when an adolescent does.”
“When implemented, the complete lives system produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most substantial chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated.”
“Services provided to individuals who are irreversibly prevented from being or becoming participating citizens are not basic and should not be guaranteed. An obvious example is not guaranteeing health services to patients with dementia.”
