Get ready for your daily, mandated, and monitored Physical Jerks like in 1984. Of course, with the modern Democratic Party, that may take on a whole new meaning. Mental health is important, after all.

All part of the master plan.

Obama’s science czar wrote a book outlining his master plan for abortions and mass sterilizations to “save the planet.”

Eugenics on both ends of the life cycle - root out the weak at birth and root them out at the end via “cost-saving healthcare” planning. This is a really sinister lot.

Essentially he’s arguing for exactly what they do in China already. It’s a practice most Americans find so abhorrent that our immigration law expressly provides refugee status to its victims. Yet he thinks it would be both legal and desirable to do so here.

The only argument I need is:

1) When the government takes the responsibility of health care, the government has ultimate control of it’s citizens physical being.

That kind of ties in with a thought that's been kicking around in my head for the last few weeks. For the last 100 years, the US has been fighting to give others freedom and prosperity via a capitalist economy. Suddenly we've reversed course. While other countries like China and the Former Soviet Union are getting freer and their economies are becoming more capitalist, we're becoming more fascist.

Other countries are recognizing the factors that made the US the most powerful nation on earth and our own leadership is throwing it away.

If there’s just one child that could be saved by chaining you to a seat in a Smart car hurtling though space to collect CO2 emissions, don’t you think it’s worth it? You hate children and want them to die if you say anything other than “sign me up for the Smart Car Ride to Oblivion”.

The elderly won't die waiting for care, but rather because some bureaucrat decides that their lives aren't worth saving.

And where is AARP on this? Supporting it, I'm sure.

Most large institutions and interest groups have been completely co-opted by the left.

If all American conservatives moved to Canada we could make it what the US once was.

In Britain people over 55 don’t get dialysis. I’m 56 and still work full time and pay for my own health insurance. Will they throw me off dialysis? Maybe. I’d be dead in probably 3-4 months.

I don’t want the government fixing my car either. Stupid analogy.

“They tried it in Massachusetts and it’s a complete failure.”

But Mitt said last week or so that Romney care was a model to look to.

You think I want the government fixing my car? Maybe you should put the crack pipe down and read what I wrote.

It is a proper analogy. Doctors and mechanics perform services for money. The government shouldn't be involved in either type of transaction.
