Movement Republicanism As Death Cult



The clip speaks for itself, of course. But it pays to remember that these very same death-obsessed death-dealing ideologues who decry as the creation of "death panels" the efforts of Democrats to protect citizens from insurance industry "death panels" that already ruinously ration and refuse life-saving care in the name of their parochial profit-taking... are also often exactly the same people who describe as "pro-life" a politics that defends the "right to life" of a pre-born fetus over the life and health of the actually-existing pregnant women who carries it, and who then cheerfully refuses to support the health, education, and welfare of actually-born children the moment they enter the world. And that is not even to mention the already endlessly ludicrous spectacle of calling "pro-life" so many dot-eyed maniacs who are also pro-gun pro-war pro-capital punishment pro-pollution as well. Movement Republicanism really is little more than a death cult at this point, a dread army of death abroad in the land.
