It is true, but Jlilly is maliciously using the deaths of these people for her communist propaganda, can't you see that?

DSR doesn't do the same with right wing propaganda? Murtha should be shot for example?

Obamunists gone wild for example? etc.

People who want proper health care for all are 'commies'?

Why don't you criticize DSR for spreading neo-con right wing propaganda?

I don't think its just crude propaganda (like jlilly's). DSR has evidence and a proper argument, and anyways, I agree with some of the things DSR says.

DSR's evidence is usually a right wing neo-con blog. Jlily does post some things that I feel are non-sense, but the topic she stated here is perfectly valid and, as a Christian, I believe it is worthy of discussion.

Since you agree with DSR's right wing propaganda it is OK? You don't see the hypocrisy in that?

Many people around the world die each year because there is no advanced medicine to treat cancer or government bureaucrats deem it a waste of money to treat chronic conditions.

They are if they want the state or the "wealthy" to pay for it.

So people who don't have the funds for health care have the right to die?
