we already reports from Oregon about people being denied care and offered assisted suicide.
what slope?
Its a diving board!
The establishment press has promoted the euthanasia crowd's viewpoint so energetically for the last ten years, often portraying the Jack Kervorkians of the world as sympathetic figures fighting the good, just & compassionate fight for humanity.
Time and again we've been told by the leftists' flunkies in the press that a growing number of Americans agree with the idea that doctors and others should be able to unilaterally decide for themselves when to pull the plug on other citizens.
And yet now we're supposed to take their word that the same "growing American consensus" of people advocating for euthanasia would never allow the possibility of the same thing being perpetrated against us when government (which itself makes policy decisions in accordance with - ta da ! - the whims of democratic majority consensus) seizes control of the plug?
Media shills for the left have to decide here which one of these contentions which it's been peddling to us for years now is true:
1)The only people left in America who could possibly believe that the 'compassionate' euthanasia of other citizens under curcumstances of liberals' own enlightened determination is not a good thing are a dwindling band of hopelessly irrational troglodytes & religious nuts or
2) A health care system operated by the government would never target its own citizens for euthanasia, even according to the enlightened determination of pro-euthanasia liberals such as those for whom the press has been working so hard to try to convince the rest of us they actually have the full weight of momentum of public opinion on their side now.
Those two premises are laughably self-contradictory.
