@ 8:23 am by Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) praised a Senate committee's decision to drop an end-of-life provision from its healthcare reform bill, but continued to pound away at the overall bill — especially a proposal by Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel.
"It's gratifying that the voice of the people is getting through to Congress," Palin said in a new note on her Facebook page posted early Friday morning of the Senate Finance Committee's decision to drop end-of-life consultations from its health bill. (The Alaska politician had derided those consultations as "death panels" seeking to aid the euthanasia of the elderly.)
"However, that provision was not the only disturbing detail in this legislation; it was just one of the more obvious ones," Palin added.
Palin alleged that Emanuel, a White House healthcare adviser and brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, would advocate a "Complete Lives System," which "if enacted, would refuse to allocate medical resources to the elderly, the infirm, and the disabled who have less economic potential."
President Obama's silence on the Complete Lives System is troubling, the 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate asserted, and called on the president to answer questions about the theory.
"Why the silence from the president on this aspect of his nationalization of health care? Does he agree with the 'Complete Lives System'?" Palin asked. "If not, then why is Dr. Emanuel his policy advisor? What is he advising the president on?"
The note marks the latest in a series of attacks Palin has launched on the president's heatlhcare reform proposals, and signals that while the conservative Republican had managed a small political victory over end-of-life care, she would continue to hammer away against Obama.
"We must stop and think or we may find ourselves losing even more of our freedoms," she wrote.
The logic of "life unworthy of life."
It must come as no surpise that a regime that advocates the slaughtering of it weakest citizens will find reasons to slaughter other "inconvenient" or, who knows, perhaps even "offensive" citizens.
I propose that it will keep on slaughtering until it finally tries to slaughter somebody strong enough to stop it.
Dead fish.
Fishy.
A fish always rots from the head first.
Random thoughts, trying to come up with a protest idea that can go viral.
If I were an artist, I think I would like an IV bag with a fish, belly up, floating inside of the IV bag!
Sarah just turned on the light, and the Democrat cockroaches are scrambling.
It has been posted before but bears repeating. She has accomplished more just from her Facebook entries than ANYH of the worthless GOPers who are cowards, everyone of them. Exceptions? Where? I see no one and standing for what is right and taking the fight to the enemy like Sarah is doing. Not one.
She is taking this fight right to the top POINT BY POINT. No one else is.
ANYH=any
Must be the rage this morning...
So what?
He will let me die in pain but won’t pay for my heart stints or my knee surgery?
we are advancing in another direction.
democrat DEATH PANELS
God Bless this woman!! SHE has more cajones than all of our Republican (yes I said Republican) Congress put together. At least the RATS are out there with their lies but I see only a few Republicans trying to enlighten us. Obama’s DEATHCARE will KILL US!
I like that picture!
Do you a comprehensive one, esp. w/references to euthenasia?
“Complete Life System.”
with chapters on “Existence without Life”
“Life not Worthy of Life”
What’s this about “Never again”?
The socialists are going into exorcist-style headspins over their death panels being discovered and they are doing everything possible to hide the evidence or discredit it.
One can only gasp at the concept of a government beurocracy-run death panel evaluating the worth and quality of one's life in socialist terms of value to the state.
Even worse, one can guess at the level of competence of such a panel, awarded the assignment for service to the socialist state and party. Unworthy of any true productive post, yet in control of the destiny of millions of productive American citizens who will have years of quality life cut short for no good reason.
Randy: "Sorry, Grandma dies..."
Paula: "You touched me, the photos of your grandchildren and their Christmas sweaters? Such beautiful memories, but...you die."
Simon: "Uhng, does it get any more cliche than this? Chocolate chip cookies and brownies for the kids? It's like one vomitous sugar-overload. Just die already!"
She’s not the female Rush, or the female/next Reagan, or the next Margaret Thatcher.
We’re looking at the first Sarah Palin.
0bama has pounding his “stake” in jello
What a PERFECT analogy!! Right on right on.
Let the facebook revolution commence!
I was going to make pretty much your exact comment.
Palin is doing more to torpedo Obamacare from FACEBOOK than the GOP congresscritters are from the marble halls of power.
Excellent information. Thank You
The rest of us need to watch & learn.
The House has *not* removed that provision - the Senate allegedly did. Different (though probably very similar) bill.
