The elite are attempting to convince us that killing off our sick grandparents is cool and trendy

[Patricia M. McBride]

This is probably the worst thing I have yet seen thus far, but given the current abortion policies, I am not surprised. I am both shocked and dismayed that morally, the elitist nut jobs in Washington and all their buddies in Hollywood and else where have stooped to this new low and the media is pushing this like not a thing in the world was wrong with the idea, but certainly it was the next logical step once killing babies in the late term was implemented by the immoral anti religion group running our country. It certainly better explains the push to eliminate religion from everything and eliminate 1st amendment rights as this certainly aims to turn folks into cold blooded killers. One wonders if we are pushing this right along side faux climate change and "gay is normal behavior and main stream" in our the government indoctrination centers for children formally known as the public school system.

I took the liberty of looking up the articles this story on C2C are based on and both are recent. I don't know how I missed the American Thinker one as I get their newsletters. This was certainly a logical next step given the Obamacare death panels become operational right after the election if the supreme court doesn't throw this horrid bill out (we couldn't have those folks handing out death warrants prior to the election now could we as "we" might not get re-elected if the word went out about it "the one" was lying about something once again).

The Elite Are Attempting To Convince Us That Killing Off
Our Sick Grandparents Is Cool And Trendy
Posted by Southern Girl

The American Dream

What should be done with elderly Americans when they become very seriously ill?

Should we try to save their lives or should we just let them die?

Unfortunately, there is a growing consensus among the "intellectual elite" that most elderly people are not going to have a high enough "quality of life" to justify the expense of costly life saving procedures.

This philosophy is now being promoted very heavily through mainstream news outlets, in our television shows and in big Hollywood movies. The elite are attempting to convince us that killing off our sick grandparents is cool and trendy. We are being told that "pulling the plug" on grandma and grandpa is compassionate (because it will end their suffering), that it is good for the environment and that it is even good for the economy. We are being told that denying life saving treatments to old people will dramatically reduce health care costs and make the system better for all of us. We are being told that it is not "efficient" for health insurance companies to shell out $100,000 for an operation that may extend the life of an elderly person by 6 months. But the truth is that all of this is part of a larger agenda that the elite are attempting to advance. As I have written about previously, the elite love death, and they truly believe that reducing the population is good for society and good for the planet. Sadly, population control propaganda has reached a fever pitch in recent months.

Time Magazine has just come out with a very shocking cover story entitled "How To Die". The article goes on and on about how wonderful and compassionate it is to remove life saving treatment from sick relatives.

A recent article by Mike Adams summarized the message of this disgusting article....

Inside, the magazine promotes a cost-saving death agenda that encourages readers to literally “pull the feeding tubes” from their dying elderly parents, causing them to dehydrate and die. This is explained as a new cost-saving measure that drastically reduces return hospital visits by the elderly... yeah, because dead people don’t return to the hospital, of course.

Many of you also probably remember the Newsweek cover story from a couple years ago that was entitled "The Case for Killing Granny".

Underneath that shocking title was the following phrase: “Curbing excessive end-of-life care is good for America.”

According to the author of that article, spending less money on the elderly is the key to successful health care reform....

The idea that we might ration health care to seniors (or anyone else) is political anathema. Politicians do not dare breathe the R word, lest they be accused—however wrongly—of trying to pull the plug on Grandma. But the need to spend less money on the elderly at the end of life is the elephant in the room in the health-reform debate. Everyone sees it but no one wants to talk about it. At a more basic level, Americans are afraid not just of dying, but of talking and thinking about death. Until Americans learn to contemplate death as more than a scientific challenge to be overcome, our health-care system will remain unfixable.

Sadly, articles like that one are becoming quite frequent in mainstream media sources.

Just a few days ago, a Bloomberg article entitled "How 'Death Panels' Can Prolong Life" declared that we must "deny treatment to people who want it" in order to hold down costs....

In short, all the Republican talk during the health-care- reform debate about “death panels” was melodramatic and unfair, but not ridiculous. One way or another, holding down health-care costs will require policies that deny treatment to people who want it. And want it because it will extend their lives.

This goes on already, all the time. Health insurance companies have been known to deny payment for treatments deemed unnecessary. Age limits for organ transplants are another example. All policies that involve denying care because of “quality of life” considerations are, in effect, “death panels.” But no society can afford to give every citizen every possible therapy. Medicare is going broke trying.

So who are we supposed to deny treatment to?

The elderly of course.
