Hitler told his citizens it wouldn’t happen there. We now know. Don’t tell me it can’t happen here.

The AP and FactCheck are liberal organizations. Do you have any independent sources to reference?

Whenever you have health care being rationed, you are signing a death sentence for somebody. Health care will be rationed under Obama’s plan — that is indisputable. Look at Canada and Great Britain to see what is happening there.

We do not want that here. We do not really care about the mythical 40 million people who supposedly don’t have health insurance. We care about health care for our families. For us to pay more for decreased care does not seem like reform.

That “47 million” could really only be 8 million?

If you do your homework on this issue you’ll see how wrong she is to suggest the health care plan will form death panels. The amendment she references was written by a republican and promotes a “living will” type solution for those who aren’t well enough to make those difficult decisions at the end of their lives. Even the guy who wrote the amendment says she was way out of line for making that suggestion. I think, since Palin is now a private citizen, it would be a great idea if the media would stop the love affair and let her fade into obscurity.

Your parenthetical link in the first indented paragraph simply links to a lefty calling Sarah Palin a moonbat. Great nuance! No discussion for you, when you can settle it right there! Then you highlight Palin’s call for restraint like it’s a ‘gotcha’ moment. Yeah, let’s be restrained, but not IF I CAN CALL HER A NAME. I am thinking this column of yours is actually a parody, by an Onion staffer, showing off lefty hypocrites.

AP and fact check aren’t neutral arbiters, as any journalist should know. They skew wildly to the left.

Read Charles Lane, a lefty, in last Sunday’s Washington Post for a little bit better discussion of end of life issues in this matter. I don’t believe he’s a Palin supporter, and probably doesn’t like her analysis, but his point is that the provisions ARE troubling. But that wouldn’t enable you to link to a sentence containing “palin” and “moonbat”, while acting like you’re a thoughtful journalist, sensibly restrained.

And Kurtz’ comment suggesting that somehow the press doesn’t take sides on politicians is wierd. It does with every breath it takes, who doesn’t know that.

We first need to look at the present Health Care, it took my insurance company 8 months to approve a knee surgery for myself, and the insurance companies today already have a death squad, its called HOSPICE care, when the doctors are done with you, or your insurance is maxed, they send you home and have Hospice wait for you to die, the insurance companies have unfair pricing plans, such as if you have 1 child or 100 children the cost is the same, so a family with 1 child is overpaying to cover the family of 10, every presidential debate in my lifetime, has promised health care reform, we finally have someone ready to tackle this issue and the Republicans will do anything to insure there is no success, although our president has shown he can tackle the issues in only his 5 1/2 actual months in office, when our previous non-leader was not only the most unsuccesful businessman to become president, he and Reagan are the most vacation using presidents in history, we also hear how great Reagan was, let us not forget the IRAN-CONTRA scandal, where REAGAN GAVE ARMS TO IRAN

Sarah knows the truth and she knows she would qualify for extermination based on IQ and ability to function in society. Please no one tell her it is just a made up story by the ULTRA right.

OE is that what you have been drinking this morning?

Reagan hasn’t been relevant for 20 years and has been dead for awhile now. What kind of hatred of him must you have etched in your brain to continue to conjure up his failures?

Let’s face it, there is NOTHING this IDIOT won’t say! I relish her running in 2012! She’d make Dukakis look good!!

Wasn’t Palin one of those Christian conservatives? Remember them? The Christian right? The Moral Majority? Where are they in this debate over health care? The Bible says “He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.” Proverbs 14:31. Yet we have so many comments like that above - “We do not really care about the mythical 40 million people who supposedly don’t have health insurance. We care about health care for our families.” Too many of the comments from “conservatives” seem to echo this sentiment of comtempt for the poor and uninsured. Didn’t Jesus tell his followers to sell all they own and give it to the poor, instead of this right wing “it’s mine, I deserve it, they don’t, gimme, gimme, gimme”. The discussion should be about how we can make the health care system better for all of us, rich and poor. The very people who are so incensed at the thought of rationed care have no qualms about rationing the poor right out of health care altogether.

And the right wing anti-abortion crowd? Life is precious, save the unborn, right to life, abortion kills? Doesn’t any of that mercy extend to the living? Apparently not if you’re poor or unemployed or an immigrant or black or brown.

The US has the best health care in the world. But we have one of the worst systems for dispensing it. We have a moral obligation to find a way to extend decent, affordable care to all Americans. Where are you Christians?
