Sarah Palin
I thought I’d heard it all until Sarah of the Tundra opened her mouth once more to reveal just exactly how stupid she could be. She has taken up the mantle of leader of the most moronic segment of the country. Now, in all honesty, I don’t really know if she is truly this dumb, or if she is simply pandering to the ignorant. Maybe it’s both. What is it that she said that has the sane and rational element in the country so amazed? She said in a Facebook posting that he (Obama) would create a “death panel” that would deny care to the neediest Americans.
“The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s ‘death panel’ so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their ‘level of productivity in society’, whether they are worthy of health care,” the former Republican vice-presidential candidate wrote.
“Such a system is downright evil,” Palin wrote on her page, which has nearly 700,000 supporters. She encouraged her supporters to be engaged in the debate. 700,000 people support this idiot. I have to conclude that they probably agree with everything she has to say. They are infatuated with Nanook of the North. Does she even live up there anymore?
So…of course she must be right. After all, I did see “Soylent Green”. After we euthanize granny, we are going to convert her remains into a tasty nutritional supplement that you can spread on your morning cereal. It’s an all-purpose seasoning you can use to spice up almost any dish. If your granny was Italian, try using it in place of oregano on your next pasta dish. It makes a great seasoning for that barbeque. Here Bubba, try this. You can even give it to your pets, for a shiny coat. Even your gold fish will love it. Watch how they rush to the surface to gobble up every morsel.
What is even more astonishing than this is that there are actually a lot of people that believe this garbage. There are radio talk shows that are promoting it. “Death Panel”?? This is the extent that people will go to in order to defeat a bill that they actually know nothing about. What congressperson would conceive of attempting to put forth any kind of bill that would promote euthanasia, or “Death Panels”? Can anybody point to this in the health care bill? There is a provision, originated by two Republicans no less, that allow for people to have a consultation with their physician regarding end of life care, at THEIR request, or the creation of a living will, which would be paid for under the healthcare plan. And this has morphed into a “death panel” and euthanasia? What kind of insanity is this? I mean have the right wingers all had a collective lobotomy?
I see these loons on TV crying, “I want my country back”. Well you know what? You lost an election. Suck on it! The rest of us were saying the exact same thing for the past 8 years. Get over it. It’s called Democracy. You have an election, and the winners get to call the shots. Some time’s the other side wins and you lose. That’s how we do things in America. If you hadn’t screwed things up so badly, you might have won, but you did, and you lost. That’s life. However, you aren’t likely to get back in control by acting irrational and convincing the rest of the sane people in the country that you aren’t smart enough to get the job done as long as you persist in this kind of mind-numbing stupidity. And one more thing: When do we get to see Sarah’s high school diploma?
