They will officialize and nationalize the thought patterns that were used with Terri. They are spreading the culture of death...and you need only read Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel's words to know this is tue...and as the chief advisor to the President, and Policy Advisor to Congress...his thoughts will be spread throughout whatever plan they come up with

‘[I]f the president finds himself at a town hall meeting telling the American people that he does not want to set up a panel to kill their grandparents … perhaps, at some point, the president has lost control of the message.’ - Jake Tapper

BINGO!!!

Can you imagine another Terri Schiavo case (which was horrible here at Freep!), only this time it being an election year debate topic?

Put this one in the stack with Federally-funded abortions as something that would kill this legislation. And, didn’t candidate Obama talk about the VA Vets giving up part of their care as well?

he doesn’t have a clearly defined, easily and consistently explained plan.

He honestly can't make his plan clear or he would undoubtedly be impeached and it would reflect another Terri Schiavo outcome but on a much wider scale.

Good piece!

Uh huh. And the WH/Administration ‘had no intention’ of taking over GM, either.

"The conventional wisdom in the pundit class was that the damage done was all to one side - that the flap revealed the GOP to be in the thrall of religious extremists. I don’t doubt that some such damage was indeed done. But little attention was paid to the fact that the Right vs Left narrative of the Schiavo episode - one willingly stoked by Democrats eager to capitalize on precisely the “Religious Right overreach” angle - painted the Left as the advocates of ‘pulling the plug’ on Terri Schiavo."

This is so on the money. I'd been ruminating on all this for days: the same euthanasia-mad control freaks on the left who have made patron saints of Jack Kevorkian & Michael Schiavo, who come down on the side of death any opportunity they're given to make the choice about pulling the plug on the elderly, the infirm and, yes, even Sarah Palin's 'imperfect' baby now want to seize control of everybody's decisions on health care?

And we're all supposed to just trust these rabid leftwing death-nuts playing God now when it comes to our damn plug?

I hadn't made the connection between party ID the way Dan McLaughlin brilliantly does here and he's soooo right!

Don't look now, but the people who are scared to death about this bill are NOT just republicans & conservatives. (Although if the media wants to continue to delude their leftist masters in government that's the case, let 'em! All the better that they won't know what hits them next election til it happens.)

Maybe moderate dems & independents didn't mind aligning themselves with their the far left about Schiavo & sneering about the Palins' decision about letting their son Trig enjoy his right to be born. Those issues didn't affect them personally. But now the same plug-pulling feticidal obsessives want control over health care, eventually making decisions on whether we all get to live or when we must die?

Looks like the 'culture of death' doesn't seem quite so cool once it hits so close to home, does it?

The Republican party might have suffered a real PR hit & sacrificed some short-term support over Schiavo. But suddenly the Pubbies don't seem like such raving religious nutters now, do they? The people who stood up for what was right, and on the side of life, rather than what was expedient in a very difficult situation (as most end-of-life issues are) now suddenly look a lot less loony & a whole lot more trustworthy to all Americans.

Which goes to show you that a strategy which may seem smart in the short term can come to bite you in the butt big time later. The rabid pro-abortion pro-euthansia party will be learning that lesson next election, we hope.

Great, great piece piece. Thanks so much for posting it!

Terri Schiavo “was consuming expensive healthcare dollars?” Really? Whose dollars? On whose say-so?

A coherent pattern emerges, forms itself and takes root in the public’s mind.

Sure. Loud and clear: these liberals want selective deaths. The unborn, the disabled, and the elderly. None are 'fit to live' in their utopian world of ought-to-be. They want life perfect...like the spoiled children they are.

Except there is one slight problem. No one is perfect, not even them. One day, they, and people they love, can become disabled, and will definitely be elderly. What happens then to their perfect, "government is God" world?

Right the Democrats have been pro-death for years. The extremists in the party like to be responsible for deaths, particularly if those who are killed are defenseless.
