Sarah Palin: Statement on the Current Health Care Debate
facebook ^ | Aug. 7, 2009 | Sarah Palin

Posted on 08/07/2009 1:45:04 PM PDT by Al B.

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.

Five paragraphs on a Facebook page. Politics the Britney Spears way!

Coming from a little princess who has kitschy starlets on her FR profile page. How quaint.

But I wouldn't expect differently from a troll who describes herself as a "Peggy Noonan" Republican and who calls Palin supporters "Nazis". You fit right in with the Democrap crowd.

~LOL~ I don’t see as many off the farm 1999ers as the 1998ers, there is some very off the wall 1998ers running around this forum lately.

Oh Ok. Yeah I forgot. I mean geez, what does he want her to do. Staple her statement to her chest and walk around everywhere promoting it. She has an official facebook page and promoted it. Believe me, if Mitt Romney had said this and posted it on his facebook page he would have done a cartwheel

Oh, I’m certain that there will be something nasty forthcoming out of Rat headquarters over the weekend about Palin’s statement!

She knows one of the very best when she sees it -- and uses his quotes where prcticalbe.

She did collect quite a trio in those lines: Sowell, Bachman and Reagan!

Looks like the fun has strted.

Go soak your head, sober up, and re-read her statement....maybe then you'll understand it for the 'call to arms' it is.

We need to show that graph to the boomers. Let them know exactly who it is who is going to be rationed.

Don’t worry about him, Romneybots are just as bad, or WORSE then Obama supporters. Notice how they both talk the same way, no substance, just dissing and smearing. I wouldn’t be surprised if Romney supporters voted for Obama

You've noticed that too, huh? I can't but wonder how many of them are actually sleeper trolls brought out of the woodwork to fight this particular battle online.

I wonder if obozo/gibsey will comment on Sarah’s statement?

It would be interesting if they did but I think they'll ignore it rather than give Sarah the "credibility" of responding to her. They want her to go away. They've been trying to "assassinate" her personally and politically ever since she showed up.

Hasn't worked yet, has it? ;0)

GO SARAH!

~LOL~ you are definitely one of the good ones.... but there is some who are very suspect in their motivations lately... too many and when you look at the date they seem to be a combo of 1998 or 2008/2009.

To: Sarah Barracuda; theFIRMbss

Sarah Barracuda, you apparently do not know “theFIRMbss”...
she (or he?) is a self-described “Peggy Noonan Republican”, who considers Palin supporters as Nazi “Volk” and has a penchant for Hollywood gossip and celebrity chatter.

Unsurprisingly she (or he?) admits that the only other “political source” she reads is... hold on your chair... *gg*... WONKETTE, the slutty liberal gossip page.

Draw your conclusions on “theFIRMbss”... oh and visit her profile page. Tells you all you need to know.

His very proud of being a Noonan Republican... though, I’m scratching my head over what she has accomplished other than writing a few good speeches.

The other way around? About what? This thread was supposed to be about a wonderful statement Sarah gave about being against Nationalized Health Care, instead of people applauding her statement, I see Romney people here trashing her. I thought we are all on the same page here, that we don’t want this crap to pass. So why the trashing, she made her point perfectly. WE DONT WANT THIS DEATHCARE TO PASS
