Compassion is Out of Fashion - Krugman

A rather apt remark from Paul Krugman, as we realize that the sentiments expressed are becoming the terrifying new mantra of now-mainstream extremists. What am I talking about? I'm talking about the GOP debate Monday, more specifically the cheering of the question about whether an uninsured sick man should be left to die. It doesn't matter if you're left-leaning or right-leaning, I hope we can all agree that this is morally WRONG.

The next Republican debate will be held at Google Headquarters on September 22. Demand that each candidate is asked if they agree with the crowd at the last debate, that our society should let those without health insurance die. Here.

Addendum: Ron Paul's campaign manager died of pneumonia penniless and uninsured
