The Grande Dame of Death – Is There Anyone Kathleen Sebelius Doesn’t Want To Kill?

Dr. Jake Baker

In  2003, 2005, 2006, and again in 2008, then Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius killed legislation that would have tightened the rules for minors receiving abortions, tightened the rules for coerced late term abortions and tightened the rules in general for late term abortions.  In other words, from conception to  one minute before birth, Kathleen Sebelius insisted the womb be just another killing field for the unborn.  Now as head of HHS (Health and Human Services), Sebelius has reinstated the dreaded death panels removed from the health care bills by both the Republicans and Democrats, neither of who could face their constituents with the prospect of authorizing panels that could well sentence them or their loved ones to death via non-treatment of medical issues. 

In a completely characteristic, brazen, cold-blooded move on Christmas eve, while the country celebrated the birth of a Savior, Kathleen Sibelius did with the stroke of a pen what Barrack Obama, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi were unable to do and that is to create morbid, end of life death panels.  Congress and the president so feared the wrath of the people that they specifically stripped the so called “death panels” out of Obama Care.  Just the thought of government deciding who lives and who dies was too much for the American Public, but apparently not too much for this amazing guileful Obama Administration.

So what does all of this mean?  Simple, government is back in the death business.  Now Ms. Sebelius will have  the opportunity to create death panels from sea to shining sea all across the country.  Such panels will necessarily be staffed by Progressives who, unfortunately, see the elderly sick, the unborn poor, the chronically infirmed as useless eaters, who as times get tougher, will be denied medical care in deference to more “viable” treatment candidates for the highest and best use of resources as concerns overall positive outcomes.  In other words, good Progressives will take the less expensive and treat them and let the infirmed elder, poor, and chronically ill die.  As Alan Grayson said of the Republicans, their idea of health care is “die quickly.”  He was correct … he just had the wrong party. 
One might ask why I would infer that such panels would be staffed by Progressives?  Simple.  No Christian or constitutionalist would sit on such a ghoulish panel.  That leaves the job to heartless, empathetically challenged progressives.  That, of course, begs the question:  Will politics eventually find its way into the death panels?  That is, will conservatives die at a much higher rate than liberals?  One  may say, “No,” but history says, “Yes.” 

Politics, like fine dust, finds its way into everything.  For instance, had Sarah Palin needed government health care to deliver her down syndrome baby, would that baby have been born — or — would have that baby have received a death sentence from the death panel?  If two people are in need of the same liver, one a Progressive political leader, the other a member of the Tea Party, which is the more likely candidate for the transplant if progressives are making the decision?    

Now Ms. Sebelius will be deciding the fate of your grandparents, or parents, or perhaps even our chronically ill sibling with MS, or perhaps even you and your chronic illness.  The death panels will be sold to us as just counseling sessions, letting the patient know of their treatment options.  But you and I know the truth.  Before they are done, these will be nothing more than eugenics chambers deciding on what “class” of people live and what “class” of people are not worth trying to save.  In other words, your treatment will be determined by where society or the Progressive elite feel they can get the most bang for the buck.  And, if a determination has to be made between a Christian constitutionalist and a good agnostic Progressive, is there any doubt about who lives and who dies with none but Progressives on the committee? 

For Ms. Sibelius, this is the big time.  No longer confined to killing only the unborn, now she has created for herself the power of life and death from the sparkle of the wine, to the glint in the eye, to the last tremulous breath of old age. 

Death comes calling and death’s name is government.  To paraphrase Revelation 6 “And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was government, and Hell followed with him.”
When government and this president become so brazen as to bestow upon themselves the power of life and death, I fear the worst has already overtaken us and that both death and hell will follow with it.  Can one even grasp the breathtaking arrogance of this?  Government has now assumed the power of life and death!  No longer content with just making us appear naked in the surrender position in airports, no longer satisfied with the killing of the unborn, now Ms. Sibelius and Mr. Obama have assumed the power to grant or refuse life itself.  This is the ultimate “Star Chamber,” which now decides how and when your life might end.  

Have you had enough YET?  Is it finally time to say, “NO MORE!”
Is it not time for the Republicans, on our behalf, to gather up what little manhood they seem to have left (after getting their collective butts kicked during the Lame Duck session) and demand both the repeal of these ghoulish death panels and the immediate firing of Kathleen Sibelius?  After her firing, will they have the courage to charge her with Contempt of Congress for this egregious offense? 
This is beyond wanton.  This is an act of war against both the constitution and the people of this country!  If Mr. Obama refuses to fire her, it is time to call for his impeachment.  This is such a grotesque breach of the public trust that it warrants the severest action possible under the Constitution of the United States.  This, added to the continued insults, contemptuous behavior, and unconstitutional dictums of this administration are unprecedented since the treason of Woodrow Wilson.

Now for the worst news yet … this hasn’t even been deemed a major story in the media.

    I mean Dr. Death, Mr. QUAL himself Dr. Ezekiel Emmanuel

    “Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, health adviser to President Barack Obama, is under scrutiny. As a bioethicist, he has written extensively about who should get medical care, who should decide, and whose life is worth saving. Dr. Emanuel is part of a school of thought that redefines a physician

    …that this illustrates just how important those “pesky social issues” really and truly are? As long as it was the baby of some woman you never met who was getting killed, you could kind of overlook it, couldn’t you? Out of sight, out of mind. Gonna get a bit harder now to sweep those “social issues” under the rug….

    …for not working harder in 2002 to elect Tim Shallenberger governor of Kansas. I knew at the time that this wicked witch would probably not stop at the governorship.

    I’m really sorry we Kansans allowed her to take the first step up the ladder of her ambitions.

    Interestingly, the new Congressman from KS-1, Tim Huelskamp, often tells the Sebelius story to illustrate how important it is to pay attention to all the “down-ticket” races. Had more Kansans paid attention to the Kansas Insurance Commissioner race back in 1994, the nation might never have heard of this woman.

    Here’s something I didn’t know until recently: Before she ever ran for office at all (Kansas House in 1986), she was the executive director and chief lobbyist for the Kansas Trial Lawyers Association.

    With respect to this woman’s radical pro-abortion advocacy, it is useful to note that during her years in state office, she received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Dr. George Tiller and his PAC.

    We associate that odious phrase–and the odious way of thinking known as eugenics–with the Nazis. But that’s only because history is written by the victors. In reality, the eugenics movement took root and grew in England, then the United States. Hitler specifically cited Margaret Sanger’s campaign to rid society of the “unfit” as his inspiration.

    Needless to say, the people who want American taxpayers to keep shelling out hundreds of millions in subsidies to Planned Parenthood guard their dirty, grisly history pretty well. Most Americans have never even heard of Sanger’s pivotal role in the eugenics movement. The same principle mentioned above applies here as well: History is written by the victors — and in this case, the Progressive/eugenicists. The Nazis lost; the eugenicists just disguised themselves.

    By the way, Joseph Mengele, the Nazi Doctor of Death, wound up in South America. Guess what he was doing for a living? Abortions.

    .. with one stone, so to speak. The “progressives” will be able to get rid of the those who are too expensive to treat medically, and the environ-mentals will get their wish of population reduction at the same time.

    How tragically ironic it is that in our times we have seen many medical breakthroughs and so many advances in medicine which can extend the quality of a human life – on then to have that option denied you in cold blood because you or your loved one’s life is deemed unworthy of the price.

    Kind of makes it seem a meaningless joke that Michelle Obama and the Food Police would concern themselves with the so-called “obesity epidemic” when even thin people who may one day become too expensively ill will be at the mercy of The Death Panels just the same.

    It’s still all about ridding society of those deemed undesirable and who will become inconvenient on the road to the progressive’s long-held fantasy of Utopia, but what most progressives do not realize is that under such government authority which has given itself the power to decide who lives and who is not worth life saving/extending resources, they too will eventually be seen as inconvenient.

    It drives me nuts how people tune out local politics. Look at Hurricane Katrina. Everyone blamed Bush, but no one blamed the local officials who were more interested in image making than governing.

    This is why all politics are local.

    This is why we can make a change over time by starting at the grassroots level.

    Everytime I look at Kathleen Sebelius I think of the Grim Reaper. She is a skeleton with a thin layer of skin clinging to her frame.
