“Death Panel” Three Years Later

Posted by Ron Devito on Monday, June 25, 2012 3:17:03 PM

Governor Palin today posted on Facebook:

As we wait for the impending Supreme Court decision on Obamacare, I reiterate what I wrote in my first post on this topic nearly three years ago. I stand by everything I wrote in that warning to my fellow Americans, because what was true then is true now, and it will remain true as we hear what the Supreme Court has to say.

It was a pretty long post, but a lot of people seem to have only read two words of it: “death panel.” Though I was called a liar for calling it like it is, many of these accusers finally saw that Obamacare did in fact create a panel of faceless bureaucrats who have the power to make life and death decisions about health care funding. It’s called the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), and its purpose all along has been to “keep costs down” by actually denying care via price controls and typically inefficient bureaucracy. This subjective rationing of care is what I was writing about in that first post:

The Democrats promise that a government health care system will reduce the cost of health care, but as the economist Thomas Sowell has pointed out, government health care will not reduce the cost; it will simply refuse to pay the cost. And who will suffer the most when they ration care? The sick, the elderly, and the disabled, of course. The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama’s “death panel” so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their “level of productivity in society,” whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil.

Health care by definition involves life and death decisions. Human rights and human dignity must be at the center of any health care discussion.

Rep. Michele Bachmann highlighted the Orwellian thinking of the president’s health care advisor, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, the brother of the White House chief of staff, in a floor speech to the House of Representatives. I commend her for being a voice for the most precious members of our society, our children and our seniors.

We must step up and engage in this most crucial debate. Nationalizing our health care system is a point of no return for government interference in the lives of its citizens. If we go down this path, there will be no turning back. Ronald Reagan once wrote, “Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we’ll ever see on this earth.” Let’s stop and think and make our voices heard before it’s too late.

If the Supreme Court doesn’t strike down Obamacare entirely, then Congress must act to repeal IPAB and Obamacare before it is indeed “too late.” All of Obamacare must go one way or another.

Posted by Ron Devito on Sunday, June 24, 2012 12:29:32 PM

TheConservativeMind created a resume highlighting Gov. Palin's Accomplishments in a PowerPoint Presentation.

Sarah palin’s resume

I created this Organize4Palin document highlighting Gov. Palin's Accomplishments in English and Spanish:

O4P 11 x 17 SP Accomplishments Booklet Generic O4P 11 x 17 SP Accomplishments Booklet Generic - Spanish

US for Palin maintains an entire section of the site devoted strictly to Gov. Palin's Accomplishments. When you open the main link, you will see Master Lists by year going back through her gubernatorial term. Thence, her terms as Chair of the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, Mayor of Wasilla, City Councilwoman of Wasilla, Commercial Fishing, and Sportscasting, each have their own pages.

You can also see her athletic, hunting and subsistence fishing, and marriage and family accomplishments in this section.

The current Master List of Accomplishments is updated as each accomplishment occurs.

Bethenny Talks Woman-to-Woman with Gov Palin

Posted by Ron Devito on Sunday, June 24, 2012 9:54:16 AM

Bethenny Frankel, a self-described "health foodie" and Fox host met former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin at the Four Seasons Hotel in West Lake Village, California last week and treated her to some Skinnygirl Cocktails. Frankel, who specializes in healthy lifestyles, parenting, and giving back to the community, is the founder of the Skinnygirl brand. Todd Palin was being taped for Stars Earn Stripes last week, which could be why Gov. Palin was in California. According to US Magazine Weekly, Frankel was "taping a segment for 102.7's KIIS FM's On Air with Ryan Seacrest." Six people had won the station's contest to meet Frankel.

Frankel did not want to let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip. "Sometimes you have to intervene in your own life. You have to say, 'I'm stopping down. I'm going to be 45 minutes late to see the baby," she said in her video.

She approached Gov. Palin who was poolside. The former Alaska Governor knew who Frankel was, and the two discussed their marriages, motherhood and "things women talk about" for over a half hour. Frankel described the experience as "surreal" in her video. She could not believe it was really happening. "They looked like old girlfriends catching up, relaxing and hanging out," a witness told US Magazine Weekly.
