The Leftist fascination with the Culture of Death, Part Two

  My previous post presented various aspects of the American Leftist Culture of Death with regard to Islamic sensibilities.
  Specifically, the Boston bombers did not commit a terrorist act, as determined by the US Treasury, though even the Russians warned that they were volatile, dangerous and corresponding with Russian terrorist groups.
  Culturally the Left responded with Rolling Stone Magazine's publication of a dramatically sympathetic photograph and story about the remaining--and the hottest perhaps because he's the only warm one--Tsarnaev brother.
  At Fort Hood, a US Army psychiatrist murdered 13 soldiers and wounded numerous others, so the Obama administration, in keeping with their al Qaeda is on the run because Obama is so fierce lie,  was quick to label Major Nidal Hassan's slaughter of American soldiers as "workplace violence," even though the FBI had ignored the warning bells that had been going off repeatedly concerning Hassan's proclivities.
  Rather than acknowledge that terror has come to our shores, Leftists continue to diminish the lives of the people who've died and the impact and significance of these acts of Islamic terrorism.
  Now a horrific beheading by an Islamic terrorist of an elderly woman has again been quickly and tentatively labeled "workplace violence," because the murderer was at work, which is where people who work spend most of their time. 
  A local imam labeled the beheading as an act of "foolishness."
  This murderer spent work time trying to convert his peers to Islam and was fired because of his arguments over Islam with his co-workers that women should be stoned for acts of disobedience.
  In these incidents of terrorism, the Left seeks to diminish the value of life itself by downplaying murder and punishment. 
  This is part of the attack on our Western way of thought based on Judeo Christian thinking, which is linear. Bad behavior leads to a consequence. Eastern thought is circular, such as the act of the kamikaze pilot for the good of the nation.
  The desire to avoid consequence is also partly why the Left worships abortion, even late term abortions, which the Left laughingly calls "post birth abortion," aka murder.
  This worship of abortion is unrelenting, elevated to a religious principle, as if there is no life form more important than the "woman's right to choose." A woman might wax eloquently over a baby kitten or newborn rabbit, yet a preborn--or even born alive--human infant? 
  Not part of the spiritual package.
  During the Obamacare discussion, Leftists and so-called pro-life so-called Catholics like Kaptur and Stupak capitulated; Americans' principled resistance to government funded abortion will not be tolerated. Too bad if we think it's murder.
  Forces have been creating this Culture of Death for many years, twenty years ago in particular in the case of Terry Schiavo, whose parents wanted desperately to care for her but whose husband mysteriously wanted to move on and let her starve to death. He won.
  Now this Culture of Death is moving from the preborn to the elderly. Already England's NHS is  refusing care for people over 75. 
  It's too expensive, they say, for the health care industry to medically treat the elderly, a problem that will grow since we are all living longer these days.
  An Obamacare architect--a prominent doctor and Obama loyalist, made of money and 57 years old--has fired the first salvo against health care for the elderly.
  He now openly declares that Americans should be happy to refuse treatment and kick the bucket by the age of 75, which would be somewhat amusing if he were the only one considering such measures, but given his stature and affluence--like diCaprio's jets and Gore's mansions--it is unlikely our country's health care system will ever call upon Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel or any of his family to give up the ghost any earlier than he wants.
  Not so lucky for those of us who've paid into the health care system for decades: no, for us, it'll be curtains, sort of like the house insurance you pay for 30 years but cancels as soon as you file a claim for a broken chimney or the like.
  From the American Spectator, we learn the details of Emanuel's plan in an article entitled "Obama Architect Finds Cure for Old Age":

Emanuel is a notorious proponent of medical rationing, and has long advocated denying care to the elderly. In fact, just prior to his 2009 appointment to President Obama’s Coordinating Council on Comparative Effectiveness Research, he co-authored an article in the Lancet which promotes allocation of health care resources according to the age of the patient. In its introduction, he and his co-authors recommend a rationing system that would prioritize “people who have not yet lived a complete life” yet go on to claim, “Unlike allocation by sex or race, allocation by age is not invidious discrimination.”

  Not that the unborn are considered "people who have not yet lived a complete life." 
  Actually they fall into the under five years of age category, another expensive age group the Obamacare architects disparage.
  Yes, Sarah Palin's "death panels" have transitioned into "Independent Payment Advisory Boards," a concept now approved by Leftists such as Robert Reich and Paul Krugman, who delicately refers to it as "controlling medical costs."

  So in this Leftist Culture of Death, which refuses to acknowledge a citizen's right to refuse payment for government funded abortions, 
      ~which attributes terrorists' beheading and acts of slaughter as "workplace violence," 
      ~which spends billions of dollars fighting Ebola but refuses to protect our own borders, 
      ~which encourages doctors to counsel the elderly in options regarding death.
  This Culture that requires hardworking citizens to pay for government mismanagement, administrative vacations, 
      ~million dollar studies about unbelievable stupid and meaningless topics, 
      ~this Culture says this to the elderly: "Hey, you're too old. We can't afford to give you the health care you think you need. But relax. It's called palliative care, which means it won't hurt much because we're going to drug you up to the point that you won't care if you live or die.
  Cuz, hey, death is a cure for old age and you've earned this.
  Respect for the elderly? Yeah. You bet.
  The truth is that Leftists are moving toward totalitarianism: what is good for the collective should determine individual behavior, and only a few VIPs like Emanuel, Gore and Hillary at the top decide what is good for everyone. 
  They want us to be like the favorite high school senior who returns from four years of college, fully indoctrinated and has become part of the mass of walking dead who spout without rational argument the typical Leftist causes like abortion, gay marriage, drug legalization, government giveaways, federal control, anti-Christianism, global warmism with no room for dissent. 
  And you are despicable if you don't think the way the collective does.
  So, all you fellow grey panthers, let's contrast our current belief about death with the government's push to encourage death at the age of 75.
  This contrast particularly struck me when I saw this commercial the other day. How different Leftists' hardened hearts are toward life itself from this gauzy, pretty commercial about elderly home care.
  Is it too hard to imagine our overlords tweaking this commercial just a little? 
  The government health care worker enters your home, where you're reminded with a friendly chat that you're doing your duty for your country if you take the pill, inhale the gas, put your arm out for the injection.
  It's for the good of the collective and, even though you've spent a lifetime financially supporting the feds' various expenditures including others' health care, it's time.
  Now that you're 75, don't worry. Be happy.
  You've earned this.
