The Strong Should Protect The Weak

[PoliticalChic]

Sound like a plan???


1.Seems to me to be a good value to be the foundation of a society.
I bet most would agree…..yet, there is some sort of cognitive disconnect, ‘cause there are lots of folks who consider themselves bright, and good…..who vote for Democrats/Progressives, correctly described as the party of death....and the weak are no concern of theirs.

None of the totalitarian forms of political plague have the slightest concern for human life: not communism (gulags), not Nazism (concentration camps), not Liberalism (abortion), not Progressivism (eugenics), not socialism (theft), not fascism (murder).
They only differ in the final outcome: slavery, serfdom, or death.

They all follow Trotsky: "We must rid ourselves once and for all of the Quaker-Papist babble about the sanctity of human life."


WaPo wrote about someone I assume is a Democrat lawyer, who said we should simply let old folks die:

“Scott McMillan had had it with being cooped up, with the whole country being closed, with the collapsing market and the isolation, the constant worry and the politicians who didn’t take the coronavirus seriously when they could have.

On Sunday night, McMillan, a 56-year-old lawyer in La Mesa, Calif., near San Diego, saw President Trump’s tweet about how “WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF.” The lawyer took to Twitter to add his own two cents:

“The fundamental problem is whether we are going to tank the entire economy to save 2.5% of the population which is (1) generally expensive to maintain, and (2) not productive.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...a3581e-6e11-11ea-b148-e4ce3fbd85b5_story.html


That's the elderly he'd push into the oven.

Sounds a lot like Zeke Emmanuel, Obama's assistant for ObamaCare.

Here’s another Democrat… “Rhode Island Public School Teacher Offers to Pay for Someone With Coronavirus to Cough on President Trump”

2. There are those who have the gift of optimism….I don’t belong to that category…..who think that this pandemic may change society’s view of human life.

“The Death of Death Culture, Or Just a Hiatus?
The Death of Death Culture, Or Just a Hiatus?

“If there’s something positive to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic, perhaps it’s a turning point in the national discussion over the value of human life. This would be a marked change from recent years in our national dialogue and politics, to be sure. Individual lives and their value have been treated as very much “none of our business” until recently.

When Obamacare was being debated in 2009, President Obama held a televised town hall on ABC News. A woman rose to tell the president a story of her 105-year-old mother who, at age 100 was initially denied a life-sustaining pacemaker. After a second opinion, the woman’s mother received the surgery that successfully kept her alive five more years.

President Obama’s response?

"Look, the first thing for all of us to understand is that we actually have some -- some choices to make about how we want to deal with our own end-of-life care…we as a culture and as a society [can start] to make better decisions…at least we can let doctors know and your mom know that, you know what? Maybe this isn't going to help. Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller."

Those five years were invaluable to a family, but to the government they were too expensive.

Can you imagine anyone in government or on TV saying “people live and people die,” or “take a pill,” or “have a nice day, we can’t do anything” in the midst of today’s news?

Of course not.”


When one views the list of demands that Pelosi and Clyburn made when they were holding up the coronavirus aid to Americans, it’s clear where Democrat priorities lie.




Maybe they’ll see the light……

3. Far too often the Left will simply shrug at the question of life or death.
This, a board poster is the poster child for the party of death:

“ In 2013, a ten-year-old Pennsylvania girl had weeks to live unless she was given an adult lung transplant her doctors believed could save her. Arbitrary government rules on transplants stipulated adult lungs could only go to those age twelve and up unless HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius intervened.

When pressed in a congressional hearing over why she would not change the rules to save the life of the young girl, Sebelius explained, “…this is an incredibly agonizing situation where someone lives and someone dies.”

Ultimately a judge ordered Sebelius to change the rule, the young girl had the life-sustaining transplant and is still alive today. No thanks to Sebelius.



Failed presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg, discussing the costs of treating the nations’ elderly for things like prostate cancer said in 2011:

“If you show up with prostate cancer and you’re 95, we should say ‘go and enjoy, have a nice day, live a long life.’ There’s no cure and we can’t do anything. If you’re a young person, we should do something about it.”



Anyone prepared to show the same cavalier attitude toward the folks with advanced coronavirus?

That author believes the nearness of death for all of us may change society’s attitude about human life.

One can only hope.

4. “Fifteen years ago this month, the debate over Terri Schiavo gripped the nation. She spent half her life in a long-term care facility after suffering a cardiac arrest, severely damaging her brain and leaving her unable to survive without the aid of feeding tubes.

Her husband Michael Schiavo believed she should be allowed to die. Her family bitterly disagreed. Terri’s wishes were never abundantly clear, so it was left to the family to fight it out. Which lead to court. Which lead to President Bush and his brother, Florida governor Jeb Bush as well as every level of the judiciary - all the way up to the Supreme Court weighing in on Terri’s fate.

Ultimately, the Florida courts prevailed, siding with Terri’s husband. Her feeding tube was removed and she was allowed to die.



If you go back and research that period in history, you’ll find few mainstream news outlets, or polls, or news commentators (save self-identified conservatives, Catholics, etc) advocating to keep Schaivo alive. Quite the opposite, in fact. There was an almost fanatical cheering for this woman to be sent to the grave.

“If I was hooked up on feeding tubes, I wouldn’t want to live that way. If my spouse was incapacitated like that, I should be able to decide whether they live or die,” was likely the thought in many minds.

But what did any of us really know about that woman’s life or what she thought? The truth is we didn’t. But the polling all said by a sizeable margin we as a nation were sure her husband was right, her family was wrong, and she should die.”

5. “And who can forget the grizzly details of Kermit Gosnell’s Philadelphia baby butchery? Or Planned Parenthood’s vulgar discussion of selling babies’ body parts on hidden camera? Or Virginia Governor Ralph Northam’s soft, genteel explanation of how he’d kill a baby even after it’s born? Just after he “makes it comfortable,” of course.

These voices from Hell have driven our national dialogue when it comes to the respect for human life for too long. Perhaps that will change now that a virus is sweeping the globe?



There seems to be an obsessive, daily, cable-news body count of those who contract and succumb to COVID-19. As of now, we believe the elderly and those with compromised immune systems are the most in danger.

There is appropriate fear and concern over losing our fellow man to this pandemic. We’re all desperate to find vaccines and drug cocktails that might stave off certain death. Cable news seems to project grave worry about lives lost.

When this pandemic is under control and we have future discussions about the value of life, we should never tolerate the cold, ruthless, flippant rhetoric of the past from our political leaders and leading media outlets again.

But be forewarned, it’s likely their culture of death is just on hiatus.” The Death of Death Culture, Or Just a Hiatus?

6. Under the least American of Presidents, we had a healthcare plan that was based on rationing healthcare, and suggesting that the sick and elders simply ‘get out of the way.’

"In the emergency stimulus legislation was substantial funding for a Federal Council on Comparative Effectiveness Research, comparative effectiveness research is generally code for limiting care based on the patient's age. Economists are familiar with the formula already in use in the U.K., where the cost of a treatment is divided by the number of years (called QALYS or quality-adjusted life years) the patient is likely to benefit. In the U.K., the formula leads to denying treatments for age-related diseases because older patients have a denominator problem -- fewer years to benefit than younger patients with other diseases."
Defend Your Health Care

Pg 30 Sec 123 of HC Bill - THERE WILL BE A GOVERNMENT COMMITTEE that decides what treatments/benefits you get

Pg 42 of HC Bill - The Health Choices Commissioner will choose your benefits for you. You have no choice!

Pg 239 Line 14-24 HC Bill Government will reduce physician services for Medicaid. Seniors, low income, poor affected.

PG 430 Lines 11-15 The government will decide what level of treatment you will have at end of life.

PG 624 "Quality" measures shall be designed to assess outcomes and functional status of patients.

PG 624 "Quality" measures shall be designed to profile you including race, age, gender, place of residence, etc.

Pg 632 Lines 14-25 The Government may implement any "Quality measure" of health care services as they see fit.

PG 633 14-25/ 634 1-9 The Secretary may issue non-endorsed "Quality Measures" for Physician Services and Dialysis Services.

This hurry-up-and-die message is clear and unconscionable. Worse, a July 2009 VA directive instructs its primary care physicians to raise advance care planning with all VA patients and to refer them to "Your Life, Your Choices." Not just those of advanced age and debilitated condition—all patients. America's 24 million veterans deserve better.

The Death Book for Veterans

When the government can steer vulnerable individuals to conclude for themselves that life is not worth living, who needs a death panel?

Is this the strong protecting the weak?

7. Need more proof that the Democrats are the party of death?

Get this: their latest 'golden boy,' Andrew Cuomo is griping that he 'needs more ventilators' to save lives.
But in 2015, his administration opted not ....NOT... to purchase 16,000 of 'em.

Instead, they made up color-coded cards....pick the right one, you live...

.....pick the wrong one....

....YOU DIE.



"Trump cites Post op-ed to blast Cuomo for not buying ventilators — in 2015
... health commissioner Howard Zucker assembled a task force for rationing the ventilators they already had that recommended that the state not purchase the 16,000 ventilators ....Instead, the task force devised a classification system to prioritize which patients would be treated on a ventilator."

Trump cites Post op-ed to blast Cuomo for not buying ventilators â in 2015

Based on what is covered....proven.....in this thread, consider this question.


Richard Ramirez, was an American serial killer, rapist ... Prior to his capture, Ramirez was dubbed the "Night Stalker." The killed 13 individuals, often in the most gruesome manner, gouging out the eyes of one woman…. never expressed any remorse for his crimes.[2] The judge who upheld Ramirez's thirteen death sentences remarked that his deeds exhibited "cruelty, callousness, and viciousness beyond any human understanding".
Richard Ramirez - Wikipedia


A young woman named Doreen Lioy wrote letter to him, and eventually they were married in San Quentin.

The question is what was wrong with Lioy’s mentality and morality to associate in any way with this Satan worshipping beast.





The Democrat Party is now running on full-blown anti-white racism, socialism, infanticide, opposition to free speech, substituting illegal alien voters for the American citizenry, and anti-Semitism… the knuckle-dragging, atavistic pagan party.


The same question applies to you who vote for the party of death, the Democrats as any normal person might inquire of Doreen Lioy: what was wrong with your mentality and morality?
