Careless Ignorance or Conniving Malice?
Most of the irrationality spewed in congress is standard vote-buying rhetoric lacking of intellectual substance, and unworthy of mention; but occasionally there are statements which justice demands we challenge.
How about this humdinger from Alan Grayson:
I have a friend of a friend (also an opponent of socialized medicine), whose four siblings were cooked to death in the Holocaust, who could offer a slightly different perspective for Mr. Alan Grayson.
There is only one aspect where his obscene analogy holds any hint of merit - the current state of American medicine is indeed a state-sponsored effort destroying life and prosperity.
But, we all know that’s not what he’s referring to.
His implication is that not having someone else pay for your healthcare is the moral equivalent of being persecuted, enslaved and murdered, and that anyone who opposes socialized medicine is guilty of such. This classless bureaucrat equates the burden of self-reliance with facing genocide. This incredible statement, intended as an argument from intimidation, is a complete moral inversion and a slap in the face of any human being who values life.
Even in the political cesspool resulting from today’s cultural rot, for a political figure expected to convey character, integrity, honesty, and intelligence, to so carelessly diminish the most unspeakable evil in modern history is an embarrassingly juvenile feat of malicious ignorance.
This man should offend all Americans and has no business posing as a supposed leader of this country.
Please let him know if you share my sentiments.
