Here's a quote from the Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Danny Williams on his recent visit to the U.S. for medical treatment.
This was my heart, my choice and my health...I did not sign away my right to get the best possible health care for myself when I entered politics.Actually, I see nothing wrong with that. He chose life over prolonged complications and possible death.
Of course, the atrocity is that he, like any socialist hypocrite, leaves the proletariat to make do with what he deems insufficient for himself. His ideology is good enough for us, but just won't do for him.
Here's a quote from Edmund Burke's Reflections On The French Revolution:
The worst of these politics of revolution [I would substitute ideology here] is this; they temper and harden the breast, in order to prepare it for the desperate strokes which are sometimes used in extreme occasions...This sort of people are so taken up with their theories about the rights of man, that they have totally forgot his nature.Yes, the ideology of health care for all takes over Canadian politics, while the real man, and his real needs, get shuffled out of the picture.
