Mike Hukabee says folks with pre-existing conditions are unisurable, just like burnt out house


from Not Dead Yet:
Where I - and other disability activists - part with politically Right-leaning opponents of assisted suicide is that we see cause for alarm on the Right as well. A lot of radical conservative rhetoric right now - like from the Tea Party - sounds pretty pro-death if you're a person with a disability, chronic condition, etc.

If that sounds extreme and alarmist (as opposed to the "death panel" cries), please watch the video embedded below. It's good old "Compassionate Conservative Christian Mike Huckabee" speaking at the "Values Voter Summit" - the site for the summit says the "values" they want to further are to: protect marriage, champion life, strengthen the military, limit government, control spending and defend our freedoms. Guess which one of those "values" Huckabee throws under the bus?
