America's New Jews

They are objects of derision. Influential government officials refer to
them as unproductive, of less value than others in society. The
political party running the government aggressively denies them access
to health services while putting in place bureaucracies devoted, in
effect, to ending their lives.
The Jews in Nazi Germany? In the Soviet Union of Stalin? In a socialist
paradise set up by the rabidly anti-Semitic United Nations? No...seniors
in a United States governed by the party of President Barack Obama and
his allies on the Democratic left.
The Democratic Senate health care bill makes it official: Seniors are
America's new Jews.
An exaggeration? Yes and no. In no way do I wish to trivialize the
horrific slaughter of Europe's Jewish population by the Nazis, nor the
systematic oppression of Jews in history. However, Obama and the
Democratic Party have embraced a worldview that allows them to go after
seniors in much the same manner that tyrants (and the United Nations
have used Jew-bashing as a tool to accumulate power and steal wealth.
Seniors are the new go-to group for this radical president and
Democratic congress as they pursue power, wealth, and the cultural
transformation of the United States. Every version of the Democrat
health care bill -- with all senate Republicans opposing this war
against seniors -- relies on drastically reduced access to the services
for which seniors have paid through taxes over a lifetime, or upon which
they may choose to spend personal resources.
The party and government of Barack Obama is astonishingly brutal about
the value of that lifetime. A "senior moment" should be just that, they
say: a brief period rarely extending beyond the 60s (for us, of course,
not them).
This is government by those who consider themselves the intellectual
elite, thinkers who insist that a free-market economy that has enabled
the elderly to live longer violates the rights of
the younger by disproportionate consumption of health care resources.
The president's health care czar views the optimal age for
societal worth as somewhere south of sixty years. The Democrat approach
is philosophically founded upon the work of
Ivy League academic Dr. Daniel Callahan, who mentored Obama health
policymaker Ezekiel Emanuel and who advocates medical resource rationing
as a simple and powerful solution to the "dilemma" -- lack of
usefulness in the community -- posed by market-enabled longer lives.
Simply put, the utility of a citizen's life to an Obama government is
defined by the amount of one's work that can be taxed versus the
resources consumed, and the government-defined value of the group to
which the individual belongs. Seniors are just not useful, says
Tom Daschle, the prominent Obama Democrat who continues to play a key role
in shaping Obamacare, and it is time for them to accept the "pain" of
less access to health care.
Too many Jews...uh, seniors? Okay -- let 'em die.
What Sarah Palin termed "death panels" are only a small part of a new
bureaucracy
that will stand between seniors and life. Small wonder /The Wall Street
Journal/ characterized Obamacare as an "assault" on seniors, while a
British newspaper, surveying events across the pond, starkly
stated that "the elderly might as well have a bull's eye painted on
their backs. ... Creepy, right? It's totalitarian, it's ugly, and it's
not the American way."
But it /is/ the American way in a nation governed by Obama, who has a
vision that requires some to have less so that others may be given more.
And the vast middle class of seniors -- almost forty million strong
with a lifetime of work and paid taxes behind them -- are the ideal
scapegoats to fund a radical Democrat vision.
James Lewis describes theObama team's approach with devastating clarity:
they have perfected scapegoating, an "emotional high explosive that you can
direct at will."
And not just Will -- we're talking Bernice, Fred, and Gladys, the
fifteen percent of the population who have the audacity -- an Obama word
-- to age.
Seniors now find themselves the official go-to group for a president
intent on taking both life and property and giving to those who are
younger, to people who are more diverse, to illegal immigrants, and to
Democratic Party allies. Consequently, the Obama-led Democrats, with the
help of intellectual and media elites, have declared open season on
grandma and grandpa, with /Newsweek/ going so far as to feature a cover
detailing "The Case for Killing Granny."
In Obama's America, wrinkles are about as trendy as white belts and
polyester slacks, and gray is the new Jew.
Democrat health care is one of many "audacious visions," a Georgetown
University professor wroteto replace a Judeo-Christian culture with a
statist worldview.
The founders were wrong, Obama says, when they unashamedly founded a nation
based, as Thomas Jefferson put it, upon
the belief in the dignity of each individual -- regardless of age --
possesses "personal liberty" given "by the Author of nature."
/Newsweek/ president and editor Evan Thomas, who called
Obama "sort of God," takes issue with the view of seniors dictated by
the "Author of nature," that rock of Judeo-Christian culture who
demands in His Word (in Deuteronomy) that humanity "Honor your father
and your mother as the Lord your God has commanded you, that your days
may be long..."
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob views long life and respect for
seniors as a blessing. But the Democratic Party health care bill is no
Deuteronomy. Long life is viewed as a market-driven curse, and for
Barack Obama -- the god of Harry, Nancy, and Evan -- seniors are expendable.
It is not hard to imagine President Obama standing at a window of the
White House, watching the Tea Parties and streams of protesters. He
observes the multitude of seniors in the crowds, smiles a smug smile,
and quietly whispers in their direction:
"If the Jew fits, wear it."

Another republican shill. Paid to post crap that we're supposed to
fall for and do....................what ?
Nice tie in with the Jews in Germany.
Still doesn't work though.
WHAT specifically did you 'read' in the health bill that indicated
seniors were in any way targeted for extermination, or death by
neglect ????
Can you read ? Or did they just teach you to cut and paste ?

Thanks.
I'm not familiar with the shit and scoot idiots on this group yet.
They'll be filtered as they're discovered.

You are completely incapable of making ANY honest objective evaluation.
Go back on your meds. Plonk.
