As more Americans delve into the disturbing details of the nationalized health care plan that the current administration is rushing through Congress, our collective jaw is dropping, and we’re saying not just no, but hell no!
The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,” whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.
Health care by definition involves life and death decisions. Human rights and human dignity must be at the center of any health care discussion.
Rep. Michele Bachmann highlighted the Orwellian thinking of the president’s health care advisor, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of the White House chief of staff, in a floor speech to the House of Representatives. I commend her for being a voice for the most precious members of our society, our children and our seniors.
We must step up and engage in this most crucial debate. Nationalizing our health care system is a point of no return for government interference in the lives of its citizens. If we go down this path, there will be no turning back. Ronald Reagan once wrote, “Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we’ll ever see on this earth.” Let’s stop and think and make our voices heard before it’s too late.
- Sarah Palin
Sarah is just fine with Fred Malek and Thomas Sowell, both having praised and commended the lady, yet she does not meet r9etb’s standards. Please tell us all why we should dismiss Malek & Sowell and support your (idiotic) remarks?
Don’t you have some teen idols to worship, child?
The Lord bless and keep you, Sarah Palin.
It was just a friendly teasing! :-)
So he/she is a liberal. Good to know. No wonder he/she supports ObamaCare, otherwise why would she be upset with what Sarah wrote. It’s PERFECT. I don’t get what the problem is, she is against it, aren’t we all against it here, or do some of the people who post here actually want this crap to pass

And that was two decades ago.

I don’t follow unless you are talking about health care remaining in the free market.
Because Romney is in FAVOR of government run health care. Just look at his Romney care in Masschussetts!
NO surprise the Romney-RINO-democrap bots fall over their little feet to defend Obama care.
“....Obama’s “death panel”
My jaw dropped when I read this. She is laying down the gauntlet but good.”
Yes and that’s why they attack her daily without a thread of evidence.
RULE 12: (Rules For Radicals by Saul Alinsky) Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)
You mean like getting your information from Wonkette, pop princess?
Didn’t you PM me a week ago telling me how you were not against Sarah Palin. So what the hell is this crap about. Do you want this deathcare to pass. You voted for Obama didn’t you?
Exactly! Actually the first decent thing she has written in years is her latest piece for Wall Street Journal... I still don’t trust her words, however.
Not this one. Sarah is the real deal.
I thought you were ~LOL~

It’s clear your screen name theFIRMbss has one too many s’s at the end.
Palin once again shows the guts that have been sorely missing from our politicians. Pointing out Rahms brother is writing it and referring to “death panels” is brilliant. It will force the media to cover what they have been covering up.
But just like Sarah's stepping down announcement on a Friday, this new statement may dominate the news cycle the entire weekend again!
