"I'm not turning anybody away — that would be unethical," Dr. Jack Cassell, 56, a Mount Dora urologist and a registered Republican opposed to the health plan, told the Orlando Sentinel on Thursday. "But if they read the sign and turn the other way, so be it."
The sign reads: "If you voted for Obama … seek urologic care elsewhere. Changes to your healthcare begin right now, not in four years."
The bulls*** starts here:
Cassell may be walking a thin line between his right to free speech and his professional obligation, said William Allen, professor of bioethics, law and medical professionalism at the University of Florida's College of Medicine.
Allen said doctors cannot refuse patients on the basis of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or disability, but political preference is not one of the legally protected categories specified in civil-rights law. By insisting he does not quiz his patients about their politics and has not turned away patients based on their vote, the doctor is "trying to hold onto the nub of his ethical obligation," Allen said.
"Walking a thin line..."
Actually, he's not...he is neither telling patients he will not see them, nor quizzing them about their political stance.
At the heart of all this PC crap is a very simple matter...completely devoid of anything except a desire by one or any group of folks to try and bring governmental sanctions and power down against anyone who "dares not like me".
It has nothing to do with confabulations about hate speech and violence, impeding anyone's access to services or programs...it has everything to do with..."I not only have a right to such and such...and if you express the least hint that you may not be absolutely delighted about who I am and that I do...I'm gonna call the police..."
No, I am not glad that people who believe islands can tip over and capsize have a right to vote. I am not in favor of people who have no idea how economies run and simply see the government as a means of getting as big a TV as their neighbor has by their confiscation of the neighbor's income for redistribution..."by whatever means necessary"
And, I am not inclined to feel sorry for those who demand attention all the while trumping up sympathy with how downtrodden they are by the system...when they precisely use that system to wring the arms of those whose favors they extort...
Now, my saying these things won't change any of it.
And I have no doubts about my need to portray myself as compassionate, I have none.
You wanna sell all you have and give to the poor...wonderful, be blessed...and don't tell anyone about it.
You think everyone else should...good...go pray and ask the Lord to create more generous hearts...you will discover kindness cannot be legislated.
