printIs there any surprise that one of the inconsequential females GWB sired supports the colossal health-care entitlement program BHO passed? One can hardly consider Barbara Bush’s statist father and left-liberal mother intellectual and moral role models capable of steering this brassy young woman toward an understanding of freedom.
In an interview on Fox News Sunday, Barbara Bush said she’s “glad” Democrats passed the massive spending measure and President Barack Obama signed it into law.
“Why do, basically, people with money have good health care and why do people who live on lower salaries not have good health care?” the 28-year old said. “Health should be a right for everyone.”
Asked specifically what she though about the president’s health care initiative, Bush replied with a smile, “That is a good question – obviously the health care reform bill was highly debated by a lot of people and I guess I’m glad the bill was passed.”
The former First Dolt is using her celebrity clout to promote the unethical idea that a medic should be conscripted to serve those in need of his services; in other words, that healthcare is a natural right, and not a service. Men and women who work in this industry thus must be conscripted by central planners, rather than left to offer their services on the free market, or as part of voluntary charities.
Speaking of private charities, Barbara Bush “runs the Global Health Corps, a nonprofit group that aims to connect ‘outstanding young leaders with organizations working on the front lines in order to promote global health equity,’ according to the organization’s website.”
From operating a successful, private, non-profits, health-care charity, Bush has taken away that the world needs more state-run care.
This doesn’t surprise me at all. The Bush’s are not a conservative bunch. They are Rockefeller Republicans. I do not understand why the people who call themselves conservative continue to support this family. As far as I am concerned they are just as bad as the Kennedy family.
Another rich, over indulged know it all. Just what we need.
Regarding a Constitutional challenge to to the health care bill, rather than claim that it didn’t pass both houses, I’d mention that it’s an appropriations bill that didn’t origninate in the House of Representatives. In fact, I have.
Young Barbara’s leftist leanings should be no surprise. Lest we forget, Daddy Dubya somehow managed to ram through a Republican (!?) Congress the greatest increase in entitlement spending since 1965. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. The good news is that Dubya’s daughter doesn’t see herself running for office.
Now that I have the right to health care, I wonder what other unsuspected rights I might have. The right to a new BMW? The right to a couple of new Saville Row suits every year? The right to a bottle of Glenfiddich every week or two? How about a right to Hostess Twinkies? Given the option, I’d gladly trade my right to health care for the right to be paid in real money, rather than the fiat currency Uncle Sugar inflates so freely, but I’m not holding my breath.
‘Non Profit’ for the most part only means “Shill for the Government” Private Schools have the same liberal teaching curriculum as the Public Schools; only, they make better educated little commies. CS Lewis said that the Liberals had suborned the intellectual elite by 1957. She’s just like all the other poor little rich girls, making a new path to riches just like Paris Hilton, still a lady of the night but since she doesn’t have Paris’s beauty, remaining in daddy’s field of politics, rather than entertainment. Expect to see her representing Texas in Congress before the decade is over.
The sense of noblesse oblige, as demonstrated by the House of Bush (and the Royal House of Kennedy for generations) is now to be understood as mulcting Peter to praise Paul.
Not only can ‘charitable’ and ‘compassionate’ be had no money down (where have I heard that before?); you can charge it to someone else.
One favorable consequence of Obama’s election is that we will not have Democrats saying that the reason that McCain Health Care failed is because it was not bold enough (e.g. single payer).
“Health should be a right for everyone” – I presume that we have to take care of the entire third world – after all, EVERYONE means everyone.
Here is her basic socialism: “Why do, basically, people with money have XXXX and why do people who live on lower salaries not have XXXX?” where, XXXX could be: health care, cars, sex, lobsters, yachts, i-pods, guns, gold, designer jeans, Let’s boil it down to this – WHY HAVE MONEY? Since EVERYONE should have an equal RIGHT to all goods – why have money. All goods can be rationed equally to one and all.
Why the Tea Party movement is doomed – it will ultimately be co-opted by our next generation of Arlen Specters in the form of Barbara Bush.
Ilana,
I take it you are not watching or commenting on the World Cup out of choice.
Larry Auster has a brilliant piece by a real football fan decrying the monstrous vuvuzela and its symbolic importance.
Sounds to me like she should be working in Hollyweird.
