Word is out from family that she is NOT seeking any more medical treatment and has chosen DNR and only comfort care in her decline.
Having had watched my own mother make that same decision not to do anything further, I cannot stress enough, there are some things BEYOND politics or class.
I certainly hate GOP economics. But while she has recently said in the past years she's hated the tone of politics and wanted government to get back to "compromise". I'd only, in her lucid state, would have argued the history of balance of power since Reagan between the parties as a collective average.
NOW, that is STILL a separate issue than being able to identify caring for an elderly person, and watching them decline and die.
I do give theists and the economic right a hard time at this point in history, because their politics of division and "otherism" misses the point that we as a SPECIES are more alike than we are different.
I would prefer CL and Mystic and A Theist could see why they don't need a god or a religion. BUT I do know that nobody goes through life without having someone close to them get ill or die, be they family, parents or even friends. It will happen to everyone to some degree. Point is nobody lives forever and and we all will feel loss. I may give the theists here a hard time about their logic, but I still would not wish that pain on anyone, having watched my own mother die.
I may hate GOP economics, but I do know what the Bush family is going through right now and what they will face when Barbra dies.
