So this is how we make America great again: We wage a “War on the Poor” and crush the old and vulnerable among us with what amounts to “Death Panel Healthcare.”
Silly Sarah Palin–who quit as the governor of Alaska in her first term because the heat in the kitchen was too much for such an icy woman to take–once warned that Obamacare would create “death panels.”
The “death panel” scare was a fiction, of course, but Palin raked in millions of dollars for a few years as the leading basher of all things Obama.
This was before Donald Trump became the leading Obama basher by creating the (racist) fiction that President Obama was born in Kenya, not in Hawaii (which, by the way, is a state in the United States of America, which someone should explain to Attorney General Jeff Sessions from the always forward-looking state of Alabama).
We’ve come a long way from the days when Republicans actually worried about fictitious “death panels” thinning out the population.
Now we have Republicans who are giddy about passing what amounts to “Death Panel Healthcare.”
But we shouldn’t be surprised.
The proposed Death Panel Healthcare law–which someone should explain to Trump is only a proposal and not yet a law–is the handiwork of Paul Ryan, a man who used to give Ayn Rand’s books to staff members.
That would be the religion-hating philosopher and hack novelist Ayn Rand, whose entire economic philosophy was based on “survival-of-the-fittest” and the conviction that Selfishness is Good.
No doubt about it: Rand would be happy, happy, happy about the Trump/Ryan plan.
Then there’s this from 2011:
