Holland proposes giving over-70’s the right to die assisted suicide if Holland considers them “useless eaters”.

All of us have always had that right. The difference is that now the government is moving toward exercising that right for us.

0bama can’t wait to load the death panels full of political lackeys. Next would be to persuade the elderly and terminal to “do their duty for the common good”.

I get cold chills looking at that photo of the elderly lady.

There have been a couple of pingouts of articles about this. Maybe I’ll ping this one tomorrow for those who missed the other ones.

They’re trying to turn this world into a hell.

Defeat Obamacare call list: List now contains the new MAYBES culled from FR posts. IF you have a name to add let me know and I will add it.

PLEASE CALL! DC OFFICE LOCAL OFFICE State District

Code Red” - House Target List on Health Care

The National Republican Congressional Committee has published a target list on health care. In addition to continuing to contact the five Tennessee Democrat Congressmen, you can go http://www.votervoice.net/link/clickthrough/ext/94697.aspx to contact some of these targets. Much of the talk following Obama’s announcement has focused on how to defeat this second bill through reconciliation, but that is misleading because the first step to defeating Obamacare is not by concentrating on defeating the “fixer” bill but by defeating the Senate bill in the House when it goes to the floor for an up-or-down vote on Thursday, March 18th.

On the Bubble (Major developments from the “yes” and “no” columns in the House)
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2467046/posts

Congressional Dems on Twitter
http://www.arrghpaine.com/congressional-dems-on-twitter

And here are toll-free numbers we can use to call any Senators or Reps.

At the first number below you must wait through a tape recording urging you to tell your Rep or Senator to vote “yes” for the health care bill. Just hang on and when the recording is over, you will get the Capitol operator. Just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Then you will either talk to an aid or have the chance to leave a message for him/her to vote NO on the health care bill.

When you use the second number and the Capitol operator comes on, just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Every time I use this number I get the Rep or Senator’s answer machine, so it may be set up that way all the time...to go to their answer machine. Either way you can leave a message to vote NO on the health care bill!

We need to use these toll free numbers that have been set up for the health care/ BO supporters and illegals to use! After all they are FREE!

Is it just me, or am I mistaken in thinking this proposal has the FULL SUPPORT of Holland’s mullahs? [Those old folks are the only ones still bothering to attend Christian services...]

Yup,and when the kiddies...knowing that Grandma has amassed a hundred thousand Euros in her 72 years on earth...just might decide that her life is “complete”.

Why stop at 70?

Why not 50?

Why not 20?

Why have an age limit at all?

And why should Holland care if someone just wants to die because they are depressed or because a love one just died? Does it mean their lives are any more valuable than a granny in their 70s?

Government has no business drawing a line on this. They should either be all in or all out. Otherwise, it’s a form of discrimination.

My father dropped bombs on the heads of right-to-die fascists. I see no reason the work can’t be started up again.

Well, this IS the next step. Holland or the Netherlands as they call themselves has been LETTING the elderly die in their beds for a number of years now.
