First there was the Death Star menacing humanity. Now, there is “the Death Panel.” Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin called President Barack Obama’s health plan “downright evil” on her Facebook page and warned American of Obama’s “death panel” that will hold the power of life or death over average Americans. Indeed, the Obama Death Panel appears to have their sights on little Trig. Presumably, the chair will be Palpatine (aka Darth Sidious), the Dark Lord of the Sith.
Palin states in her first statement after quitting her job as governor that “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 . . .Such a system is downright evil.”
The following footage from one of the patient reviews of the Death Panel has been located:
The real news here is the disclosure that Palin’s page has 700,000 readers, making it the most popular comics page in the world.

The zing! was for Mike. Not Capt. Eugenics there.

That was from an OK guy, our house troll/bigot
Instead of responding in a negative way, to help me fight the urge I will say thank you Mr.Spindell I’m sure you’ve called more people names that you don’t agree with than me. It’s the left’s mantra. You have to do it to make up for the rest of your inadequacies.
By the way if Charlie Cook says the dems are done, your done.
“Is it a Filipino Country Club, I here they have the same problems”
That was from an OK guy, our house troll/bigot. He was just kidding of course. you should hear his polish jokes.
“we care about how much money we make”
The most honest statement an objectivist can make.
“The Dem majority is thru.”
Keep wishing B man, by 2011 it will be even larger despite what your sources tell you. You have a good ear for listening to the stuff you agree with and a tin ear for hearing the truth.
Dem situation has ‘slipped completely out of control’
http://www.politico.com/blogs/scorecard/0809/Charlie_Cook_Dem_situation_has_slipped_completely_out_of_control.html
“I would like to know why you think her ideas will lead to what you said it will. Lay it so I can understand it, maybe I am missing something a concept a fact?”
IS,
How does one say you’re full of it without being offensive?
I have laid it out for you on numerous occasions and you’ve either ignored responding to my points, or deflected them with non-sequiturs. Once again the short version:
In a society that lives totally by a market ethic everything is privatized including the roads. You might have a government and a standing army, but probably the police get privatized also. Why, because that is the philosophy the free market does it best, so why shouldn’t a free market get us better police, or even armed forces. To have a society such as that the majority of politicians would believe in the free market and thus be loath to regulate and enterprise. At that point conglomerates begin to form to maximize profit and you have things like electricity, water and sewage also on private contracts. Within a short time a few corporations have bought up everything and are in complete control. Then they either fight it out for total control, or more rationally just divide it all up. Five years from changing to objectivism, to totalitarian anarchy. WFB, capitalist that he was realized it too because it is so obvious to everyone but those enthralled by the fairy tales AR spun.
Now you can again respond, non responsively, as you’ve done so many times before, but before that let me also tell you that belonging to an oppressed people doesn’t prevent one from being a bigot, any more than being a poor working schmuck doesn’t keep someone from licking the behinds of those he perceives as his betters. If you catch my drift.
As far as our members go, most of us are hung like peanuts so we need to make money to make up for our sexual frustration.
Is it a Filipino Country Club, I here they have the same problems
GWLSM:
I merely was jesting because of Slarti’s post.
And no we typically dont care much for IQ or test scores, we care about how much money we make, and loads of it. All at the expense of orphans and old ladies who we throw into the street on December 24th with nothing. You think Scrooge was bad, he was a piker compared to the cabal I belong to. We take the food from poor people and give it to the rich. Sometimes we even sacrifice a poor person on our alter of greed.
So the next time you are at the country club and see someone with a “Golden Fleece” polo shirt, he or she is one of us. We got the gold by fleecing the sheeple.
As far as our members go, most of us are hung like peanuts so we need to make money to make up for our sexual frustration.
And typically on the right if you have a big penis you usually have a small bank balance. Or so I have surmised through observation at the club.
IS,
I’m not sure how you got from me suggesting the possibility that intelligent people who hold views different from yours might have a better understanding of an issue than you do to ‘my friends might be smarter than your friends so I’m right and you’re wrong’ nor do I know under what demented rules of proof that is “QED”. Literally, QED means “thus it is shown” and you put it at the end of an argument to indicate that you have proved it. I first learned about proving things in a real analysis course my sophomore year in college. My professor (who was definitely left of center although I can’t recall him mentioning any philosophical views that didn’t pertain to math) graded our homework on a scale of 10 to -5: if you got the argument correct you would get 10 points, but you should know if your argument is correct or not, so if you turned in a proof without being aware that it was faulty you got -5 points. Your argument deserves a -50.
GWLSM,
Since my grad school was all in mathematics, politics never came up, but even when I was taking liberal arts classes as an undergrad, I don’t remember any classes where the politics of the professors came up either (well, I guess my ancient philosophy professor was a staunch supporter of Aristotle over Plato…). I guess I just don’t understand why learning and understanding are bad things – it’s probably all the brainwashing. And you get my vote for funniest comment on the thread for the SAT scores and IQ’s remark (sorry Bob).
IS writes: Maybe the ones you hang out with only have IQ’s of 145 and the ones I hang out have IQ’s of 150+.
So based on your argument the smart people I know are right by virtue of their supperior intelligence and therefore free market capitalism is supperior to socialism/statism. That was QED.
you are the funny one. I always thought that.
really. do you and your pals sit around and chat up your SAT scores and your IQ’s? seriously?
do you then take out your dicks and measure them?
Slart writes: Saying “all the smart people were
just brainwashed, but I really know what’s going on” seems like a pretty transparent attempt to make yourself feel superior to people that you believe are smarter than you and avoid considering the possibility that they understand something better than you do.
this is the kernel of the argument that liberals are elites and should be shunned by the right.
I never knew what the politics of my professors were. It just never came up. Not when I was doing crit lit…. although it did surface later in grad school to some degree, it was for purposes of comparison and examination and not for inculcation.
Mike,
The Vachss recommendation must have come from Buddha or Vince. I’ve read some of his work. Notably, he did a short story with Lansdale, it featured two of my favorite Lansdale Characters Leonard and Hap. It gives you some of the flavor of the Hap and Leonard books, but the novels are more violent.
I tried posting this with a link to the story, but it probably got rejected due to some language that would make my Mom blush. You can find it on Vachss website. It’s a little violent and like I said the language is pretty graphic.
bdaman:
You were putting some heat under some a**es on that thread.
Slarti:
A good many scientists see things through the veil of government grants, who are you kidding.
Go peddle that argument somewhere else.
IS speaking of the Global Warming thread, the Dems are finished on that subject as well. With Obama sending $$$$$Billions of dollars to Brazil and the fact that Soros recently invested 23% of his portfolio in companies that will benefit in the drilling for Oil, he will have a hard time explaining that one. Looks like drill baby drill for the Brazilians.
Oh my bad the other reason Cap and Trade is dead.
Official government measurements show that the world’s temperature has cooled a bit since reaching its most recent peak in 1998
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/226/story/74019.html
Of course IS you already knew the earth has cooled by my rapid fire post over at the GW thread.
Slarti:
I enjoy people that are smarter than I am, and have nothing against them at all. Maybe the smart people I hang around with are smarter than the ones you hang out with.
Maybe the ones you hang out with only have IQ’s of 145 and the ones I hang out have IQ’s of 150+.
So based on your argument the smart people I know are right by virtue of their supperior intelligence and therefore free market capitalism is supperior to socialism/statism. That was QED.
So that ends our debate, thanks for a good belly laugh.
Obama Ally: Dem Majority Is History If Health Reform Fails
http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2009/08/obama-ally-dem-majority-is-history-if-health-reform-fails.html
The Dem majority is thru. They blame republicans but they have shear numbers when it comes to votes but they just can’t stop the in fighting amongst themselves.
The Death Book for Veterans
Ex-soldiers don’t need to be told they’re a burden to society.
If President Obama wants to better understand why America’s discomfort with end-of-life discussions threatens to derail his health-care reform, he might begin with his own Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). He will quickly discover how government bureaucrats are greasing the slippery slope that can start with cost containment but quickly become a systematic denial of care.
