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
Too bad you can't control yourself kid.
woman of Virtue,
cries over the infertile
souls; lost and listless
clutches her country
like her children, fed at breast...
vision beyond jeers...
she fears Great Alpha,
and Omega; save our land
restore our vision!
I agree, and the fight is truely "to the death", as Patrick Henry said.
One thing for sure....our check books need to be wide open to fight the evil forces who are currently in power
Sarah is the real deal...we need to support her.
Glory, hallelujah! That’s our Sarah America!
And she even zinged Rahm Emanuel indirectly.
“Rommel, you magnificent b*stard, I read YOUR BOOK!”
- Patton
Wait, I may have misspelled and misattributed.
“Rahmel, you magnificent b*stard, I read YOUR BOOK!”
- Palin
There, fixed it.
See post 97 for information on that “FirmBss” troll.
It was a humorous truism, but, in my opinion, we should ask ourselves "why?"
After all, alleged Republicans were in charge of all three branches of government for some time.
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me one government program or agency that Republicans did away with when they had the power to do so.
Hence, my new tagline...
Whiney! Whiney?
You’ve got a problem with Sarah Palin using Facebook
and Myspace to rally the opposition, but no problem
when Obama uses the same communication strategy?
I’m lookin’ at your profile and you’re what... maybe
twelve years old? Come back when you’re an adult!
Thank you!
“How will MSNBC react to this I wonder?”
Chris Matthews will call her a racist, again.
You conveniently ignore the fact that she's just a private citizen now, with no active role in the political process and no concrete plans on her future. If she would have came out with a detailed statement or analysis, the attention would have returned back to her instead of the ordinary American citizens in opposition. Once again, Palin is putting regular Americans ahead of her, with this excellent strategy of submitting, the equivalent of a letter to a newspaper.
My point about her quoting Thomas Sowell.
Excellent strategy of not making herself the story though. She doesn't want to draw media coverage away of their hypocritical coverage of the ordinary citizens opposing Obamacare. Too bad you don't recognize the fact that Palin has excellent political instincts.
I doubt Sarah Palin gives a damn what those 20 dollar whores for Obama at MSDNC thinks of her
Congratualtions to your new tagline. Thumbs up!
If she ever does, she would probably quote Reagan: “There you go again” or something like that. :)
She and Sowell would be quite a team!
You are wrong. It is very well written. With this little piece released on Facebook, she’s added the term “death panel” to the national discourse on this subject. It’s simple and to the point and easy for Drudge to use. Brilliant.
She better run in 2012. She is just what the Republican party needs.
"Clear and righteous" is a perfect description.
These mini facebook press releases must be the reason for the DDoS attacks for the last few days.
Sarah ping!
(if this ping bugs you send me a freep)
