Gutfeld Smacks a True Believer

I like Greg Gutfeld. He's funny, quick, and perceptive. He will often get to the heart of an argument using a twist of humor. I posted a September 23, 2014 blog about Ezekiel Emanuel, Rahm's brother, on why we should all check out at 75 and OBTW, if we don't do it voluntarily, the government is going to give you a little push by denying lots of medical procedures. Gutfeld goes to the heart of Emanuel's argument with his typical humorous overlay:

With E-Z’s [Ezekiel Emanuel] logic, you could argue that 70 is a better cut-off, or even 65. Start clipping at the back end of life, and combine it with abortion as birth control in the front end, and really it’s all about living without complications. No babies, no old people -- the two groups that make traveling a pain, as well as slowing down lines at restaurants. Really, this planet should be full of nothing but trim, healthy, over-educated policy-makers with tasteful Oliver Peoples eyewear. 

Indeed, that is the core thinking pervading the Progressive mindset on life - be "productive" (as we define it) or get out. But Gutfeld also states what everyone is thinking:

Of course we all know that when Emanuel approaches his expiration date -- 75 -- and is still feeling chipper, his mind will certainly change. He’ll take the drugs. And then perhaps he will write a long article about that too. I wonder if he’ll feel bad for anyone who listened to him when he wrote about how living past 75 was stupid.

Very true. It's why Progressive bigmouths like Al Gore and Leo DeCaprio can justify flying around the world all the time in private jets and tooling around in big fat yachts or Teddy Kennedy can sentence the children of middle class families to substandard educations in public schools in large urban areas while sending his to exclusive private schools, etc., etc. You see, they are above it, they are the Ruling Class and the rules just don't apply to them because they are IMPORTANT. They have to educate us, rule us. Keep up the good work Gutfeld. A rose is a rose is a rose and a hypocrite is the same, particularly one who thinks he is doing it in the name of all that is right  and good. Right.
