Rush Limbaugh is being condemned for raising the issue of whether or not Haitians will be subject to the same kind of assistance limitations as Americans such as healthcare review boards populary referred to as "death panels" based upon their power to deny life saving treatment to those of marginal social utility.
Why isn't this a valid question?
If the first purpose of the United States government is to provide for the general welfare of its citizens however one might decide the scope of that notion, shouldn't foreigners irregardless of the desperation of their their circumstances be subject to similar rigors?
While the victims of the earthquake in Haiti deserve sympathy and charity, engaged patriots must not allow the elites to use this tragedy as an excuse to blunt the discerning criticism of good citizenship.
