Sarah Palin says: "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..."
Burgess Meredith was something like 53 years old when this Twilight Zone episode aired in 1961. Sarah's quote above obviously reminded me of this one...
Rightwing propoganda and demagoguery! You say "death panel", and Obama says "end-of-life counseling sessions".
You like potato and I like potahto
You like tomato and I like tomahto
Potato, potahto,
Tomato, tomahto.
Let's call the whole Obamacare thingy off!
Chancellor: You are obsolete, Trig Palin.
Trig: A lie! No child is obsolete.
Chancellor: You're a bug, Trig Palin! A crawling insect. An ugly, misinformed little creature who has no purpose here, no meaning.
Trig: I am a human being!
Chancellor: You have Down's syndrome , Trig Palin! What possible benefit are you to the State, Trig Palin? You are obsolete!
Trig: I don't care. I tell you I don't care. I'm a human being. I exist! And if I speak one thought aloud, that thought lives! Even after I'm shoveled into my grave.
This ran in my church bulletin this week...
by Professor Jerome Lejeune
"Many years ago, my father was a Jewish physician in Braunau, Austria. On one particular day, two babies had been delivered by one of his colleagues. One was a fine healthy boy with a strong cry. His parents were extremely proud and happy. The other was a little girl, but her parents were extremely sad, for she was a Mongoloid (Down Syndrome)baby. I followed them both for almost 50 years. The girl grew up, living at home, and was finally destined to be the one who nursed her mother through a very long and lingering illness after a stroke. I do not remember her name. I do, however, remember the boy's name. He died in a bunker in Berlin.
His name was Adolf Hitler."
Obamacare, I find you obsolete.
Trig Palin? C'mon, holding Trig up for a rebuttal to national health care "is like holding Jeffrey Dahmer up as an advocate for vegetarians"(Da Blade). A bit of a stretch, eh? I prefer the Twilight Zone episode #73-season 3, "It's a Good Life" with Bill Mumy as Anthony wishing away those he do not like to the cornfield. This is where the Palin's belong(to the cornfield...so far away that I can't see them from my front porch). Now, I will send those union thugs your way.
ReplyDeleteobsolete indeed!!!
ReplyDeletedr h- Nothing gets a lefty instantly insane better than a post with the Palins in it. It's like showing a vampire a crucifix. Are you one of the undead? Turn away from the dark side doc! As for the union thugs, read my lips, bring it on. None of that lib slap fighting allowed though.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Burgess Meredith's most memorable roll as the corner man for Rocky Balboa. "Cut me Mick".
