Sorry Charlie … I am disappointed in you.

Somehow I’ll try to carry on, Swampy.

With Islamists you have an ability to see beyond what they say and look at the implications of what they are doing. With regard to our putative health care planners in our own Congress, you appear to take what they say at face value and seem unable to either project forward and look at the implications of what they doing or look underneath their shallow rhetoric about the plan. Even liberals such as Mickey Kaus and Camile Paglia are able to look at the economic implications of the health care reform bill and see that there is something to be concerned about with regard to these cost effectiveness panels and the government’s cost containment objectives and something to the concerns that Governor Palin highlights.

You must have missed the many threads at LGF where we’ve discussed substantial, valid criticisms of the health care bill. Yesterday’s thread about “what question would you ask” was great. Lots of real points made, and valid questions.

No “death panels” or euthanasia.

So Charlie, step back, take a breath and ask yourself if what Governor Palin predicting really that far out of the experience of what the other first world countries have experienced with regard to rationing and euthanasia?

OK, I took a breath. Yes, it’s blatant fear mongering, and there’s nothing in the current bill under consideration that warrants that description.
