You have not been here long enough to know the people you are insulting. I’ve no doubt wagglebee’s family has donated this amount. I’m sure this is not all they give, either. However, this info is none of your business to begin with. There are many people that give joyfully and quietly, some more than others. We should not put a price tag on life. There are just some things that are more important than immigration issues.
Fair enough on giving. You also have no idea what I give. I will add though that the giving is freely given as opposed to the facist way some think they should force Georgetown to give.
That gives me the creeps in an Obama Overlord sort of way.
As for how long I have bee around... longer than my post date would suggest. Sorry if hat steps on toes of longstanding Freeper posters. But maybe you should rebut the argument instead of acting like elitist snobs... leave that to the fleebaggers/obama/progressives.
“We should not put a price tag on life.”
I don’t wish death for this woman, but I have to take issue with your statement. Society does this all the time, whether it is the imputed cost of a life (used to determine where traffic lights or other road improvements are added) or whether it is the cost of indigent medical care, at some point it has to be addressed.
What is really at issue is that this woman is directly affected, while the folks that die because a hospital is bankrupted and is not available to a person in need, or a crosswalk/light is not added are fiscal abstraction - but real lives nonetheless.
It is difficult for most faithful people to admit that there are limits to charity - so they compensate by opposing active measures like this that result in death, and letting deaths that result from passive omissions proceed without objection.
To admit there are limits to charity leads to this woman’s feeding tube being removed. To castigate the hospital for limiting this woman’s care leads to someone else getting less care and the likelihood of contributing to loss of life.
I’m not saying I have the answer - because there is no good answer - indeed both are wrong, and both are right, but to state explicitly that “you should not put a price tag on life” yet not deal with the consequences of that decision is a definite moral quandary if you honestly look at it - and it will recur more frequently as we descend into the inevitable financial abyss.
