NYC is shipping out their un-wanted population because of the financial burden they cause but unlike the country of Mexico, they're fast tracking them with plane tickets.

See how cold Obama gets when he gets this tough question. He stiffly says "These end of life decisions are difficult." Chilling. Who the hell can possibly support this whole mess?

Karin: Your post reminds me of the comment Richard Lamm made way back in 1984. He was then governor of Colorado and was (and probably still is) a strong supporter of physican assisted suicide. He said, "we have a duty to die." That part of his statement generated much controversy as it was seen as a slam against elderly/senior citizen/terminally ill people who were at or near their life's end. The full context of his remarks were: "We've got a duty to die and get out of the way with all of our machines and artificial hearts and everything else like that and let the other society, our kids, build a reasonable life."

Now 24 years later, with Obambi's healthcare plan, perhaps we have come full circle to fulfilling Richard "Governor Gloom" Lamm's wisdom. Is the 30 year old who has trashed his body and mind with years of drug abuse really more deserving of a kidney than the 80 year old man who, through no fault of his own, is in need of a kidney because the ravages of diabetes have taken their toll?

Heck, age is just a number, isn't it, Mr. President?

Well, Mr. President? Care to answer those questions?

What 'smatter? Aren't the answers on your teleprompter?

And on another note. "Hungry Like A Wolf" Blitzer on CNN was interviewing Bill Maher (who, for some reason is seen by CNN as an expert on all things political in America) about Sarah Palin's recent resgination from serving as Alaska's governor.

(Courtesy of Bill O'Reilly who granted the title of pinhead to Maher last night.)

Here is what Maher said:

WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: Do you think she has a future nationally as a presidential candidate?

BILL MAHER, HOST, "REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER": I don't know about a presidential candidate, but I would never put anything past this stupid country.

BLITZER: So people are already complaining that you're calling the United States a stupid country and giving you a chance to clarify.

MAHER: I don't need to clarify. It is.

Well, Bill, as Forest Gump said: "Stupid is as stupid does."

Nancy Pelosi's House Democrats, along with a handful of Republicans-in-Name-Only, are holding secret closed-door meetings in a last ditch effort to ram ObamaCare down the throats of the American people before they leave town.


You read that right... before they leave town for their summer vacation.


And what about the news reports that say ObamaCare is stalled... that there will be no legislation coming out of Congress in the foreseeable future? You really didn't believe that the politicians in Washington had given up... did you?


According to a late-breaking news report released by the Associated Press on Tuesday:


"A bipartisan group of senators is closing in on a health care compromise... as lawmakers on both sides of the Capitol labor to deliver sweeping health legislation to President Barack Obama."


And, according to an article published on The Washington Examiner's website on Tuesday:


"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi still claims that she has the votes to approve the new legislation and that a floor vote could come by Friday...."


In addition, The New York Times claims House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer is looking at keeping the House in session to pass whatever health care bill comes down the pike:


"The House Democratic leader... said it was conceivable the House might stay in session a few days longer and vote on Aug. 3 or 4."


Anthony G. Martin, in an article published by The Washington Examiner, gives perhaps the best description on what is going on right now:


"It doesn't take an enormous amount of digging to see what's going on here. The self-styled 'rulers' who now run Washington seem intent on ramming through legislation that no one has read and that even Barack Obama had great difficulty explaining... The ultra-liberal Democratic leadership, along with the 'blue dog Dems' and the RINOS (Republicans in Name Only') would like nothing better than to foist upon an unsuspecting public a multi-trillion-dollar healthcare fiasco, complete with rationing, just so they can fulfill some sort of ideological obligation in their demented, brainwashed minds that 'government must take care of ALL of the needs of the people."


It's as if we're fighting the Amnesty battle all over again. The American people, in resounding numbers, are saying "no" to ObamaCare and politicians in Washington are, for some inane reason, trying to sneak it past us anyway.


And that's not acceptable.


Let's tell these politicians in Washington that when it comes to ObamaCare, the American people don't want any so-called "compromises" made behind closed doors in the dark of night.


Let's make sure they get the message this time around... "no" means "no."

Well, yanno, people generally tend toward conservatism as they age, so it shouldn't be at all surprising that maximum leader zero wants to kill them.

"The Obama Forum: The Forum For Supporters Of President Obama" is satire. Spend a little time there (I have - I even post there)and you'll see that the topics are so outrageous that no one in their right mind could possibly think that site is serious.

Posted by: FreeWillie at July 29, 2009 2:45 PM

It looked a little satirical, FreeWillie, but these days, the line between satire and that being satirized is somewhat thin at times.

Funny site, though!!

Shortly before 6:30 a.m., senators put up the last votes to approve a bill to forcibly borrow $2 billion in property-tax revenue from local governments. The bill was the last of 30-plus measures that made up the pact; lawmakers began voting about 8 p.m. Thursday.

Josef Mengele, White House Science Advisor

“The fetus, given the opportunity to develop properly before birth, and given the essential early socializing experiences and sufficient nourishing food during the crucial early years after birth, [emphasis added] will ultimately develop into a human being. Where any of these essential elements is lacking, the resultant individual will be deficient in some respect.”

Paraphrased, neither a fetus nor a baby in its first few years of life is a human being according to the authors of those words until the baby is “socialized” and fed “sufficiently.” That process, according to the authors, takes years.

So wrote John P. Holdren, director of Obama’s White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in Human Ecology: Problems and Solutions.” (Technically, he was the co-author of that 1973 tome.)

It’s been quite a while since I was a baby but I have helped raise three babies to adulthood, I have often played with 3 former babies–my grandchildren–and I’m anxiously awaiting my fourth who is currently in utero and due in 5 weeks. I think I’m pretty familiar with the age group.

Personally, I think they’ve been human from the moment they were conceived, in fact more human and humane than the authors of Human Ecology will ever be.

Based on the absurdity of the above quotation, Mr. Holdren and his co-authors make me wonder why God created so many more horses’ asses than He did horses, although that is an insult to equine posteriors.. .

Karin, this ""These end of life decisions are difficult." is simply fear mongering propaganda and like most asinine birthing/racist/Muslim/etc nonsense has been thoroughly debunked. It's simply a product of the extreme right wing lunatic fringe. But of course, you are of that guild. Accordingly, I don't expect you to understand.
