Credibility: Just Turn Over a Rock

In case you were wondering if the administration was being treated unfairly when governor Palin characterized the counseling of aged and terminal patients as "Death Panels" maybe you should check out the Veterans Administration. After the Bush administration left Washington the cadre of Hope and Change moved in and immediately began to reverse pro-life and other moral policies that had been put in place by George W. Bush. They were not improvements. The Koolaid drinkers want to help the human race off the planet — fewer are better and especially those old ones that are past their productive prime.

Jack Towey wrote an insightful column which exposed the same kind of thinking that Sarah Palin was complaining about. SEE HERE An excerpt:
Government bureaucrats are greasing the slippery slope that can start with cost containment but quickly become a systematic denial of care. ... Last year, bureaucrats at the VA's National Center for Ethics in Health Care advocated a 52-page end-of-life planning document, "Your Life, Your Choices." ... Who is the primary author of this workbook? Dr. Robert Pearlman, chief of ethics evaluation for the center, a man who in 1996 advocated for physician-assisted suicide in Vacco v. Quill before the U.S. Supreme Court and is known for his support of health-care rationing.
I think there is a pattern here that is easy to discern unless of course you're one of those actually drinking the Koolaid.
