Santorum's greatest hits just keep coming: Dutch forced Euthanasia

[RandomGuy]

"involuntary euthanasia" and bracelets for the elderly

yn-eejMcmuA


“In the Netherlands, people wear different bracelets if they are elderly. And the bracelet is: ‘Do not euthanize me.’ Because they have voluntary euthanasia in the Netherlands but half of the people who are euthanized — ten percent of all deaths in the Netherlands — half of those people are enthanized involuntarily at hospitals because they are older and sick. And so elderly people in the Netherlands don’t go to the hospital. They go to another country, because they are afraid, because of budget purposes, they will not come out of that hospital if they go in there with sickness.”


Um... okaaaay.

Except:

There appears to be not a shred of evidence to back up Santorum’s claims about euthanasia in the Netherlands. It is telling that his campaign did not even bother to defend his comments.

Man... what a tool.

InSaneTorum is a religious extremist, a key characteristic of which is that they "believe" any old shit they dream up "on their own self-revealed authority" and refuse to acknowledge any facts that conflict with their "beliefs". Religion really is the opiate for the (ignorant) masses.

Santorum: 'Issue in this race is not the economy'

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum says the issue in the presidential race is not the economy but an oppressive government that's taking away people's freedom.

Santorum made the remark Monday while campaigning in Rockford, Ill. Illinois has its GOP primary on Tuesday.

Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has made his record as a venture capitalist central to his argument that he can do better with the American economy than Santorum or President Barack Obama.

Polls show that the economy is the foremost issue for American voters.

Santorum criticized Obama's healthcare law, particularly its mandate that people have health insurance. He said the economy is an issue because the government is oppressing people and taking away their freedom and that the economy is suffering as a result.

Freedom? InSaneTorum and other religious freaks want to impose their morality on others, taking away their freedom to define, live by their own morality.
