Finally. Somebody who learned a moral lesson from the Nazi era.

Never again.

The NHS is chock full of morons, particularly at the administrative level. The problem is that they have egos that make Big Ben seem the size of a child's wristwatch by comparison. They do not like being questioned, and THAT is the major motivating factor in all these cases. It's all about them and their egos. There is no room for ego in medicine, and if there were any justice in the UK these people would be kicked out of their NHS jobs and be made to work sweeping floors on the night shift at their local Tesco.

This is a perfect example to the world of the truth contained in Ira Weaver's, "Ideas have consequences." The ideas of socialism are bankrupt and destructive to individual freedom!

Expand Love, Not Power

Christians must recognize that acting within their own sphere of influence can result in more qualitative change for individuals, rather than seeking to change all of society through state interference. Forced charity is not charitable or Christian. Rather, it is a form of despotism that does not engender love but celebrates power.

Forced charity is not charitable or Christian. It is a form of despotism that does not engender love but celebrates power.

Socialist Christians seek to punish, not change, those whom they believe are not willing enough. In seeking power in the guise of spiritual change, they violate not only a separation of church and state but place their own political goals over their spiritual calling.

In Fyodor Dostoevsky’s “The Brothers Karamazov,” Ivan relates a fictional story to his brother. It posits that Christ refused the Devil’s temptation to create bread from stone so humanity could remain free, and that by doing so Jesus made freedom the ultimate gift from God because man would happily enslave himself for free bread.

“So, in the end, they will lay their freedom at our feet and say to us: ‘Enslave us, but feed us!’ And they will finally understand that freedom and the assurance of daily bread for everyone are two incompatible notions that could never co-exist!”

Christ may have been able to turn stone into bread or feed 5,000 with three loaves and two fish, but the state is no miracle worker. Any time the state embarks on a miraculous quest, it is always an act of power, not faith or charity.

Soon the UK will be withholding ventilation or hydration and/or nutrition from terminally ill cancer patients and not even let them return to their homes.

Oh, I don't know if it will go that far. I'm sure they'll let them return to their homes ...

...after they've sewn their mouths shut.

Role reversal: German doctor saying a child should be given a chance, British government saying no, the child must die.

Thank God the royal babies have been born healthy. Imagine if the government had decided they should die! Never in a million years!

Poetic justice would find them begging a panel of stone faced bureaucrats for a desperately needed treatment, experiencing firsthand how that is.
