Because they all fit together somehow...
The media loves torture porn if the victims are the “right” people:
This stamp of approval from on high will no doubt prove fleeting, however. If Saw XII were to depict the slaughter of federal bureaucrats running Obamacare’s proposed Health Choices Administration, I doubt the filmmakers will find themselves greeted with the same degree of gleeful let’s-revel-in-the-social-satire!critical panache.
Jigsaw sounds like someone who would get along really well with Stalin, Mao or Che Guavara:
The (perhaps unintentional) well from which much of the horror of the Saw series has previously been drawn — presuming you empathize with the victims — is the staggering amount of suffering someone who believes they are doing what’s in the best interest of uncooperative others can inflict. The more Jigsaw moralizes, the wider he throws his net, greater the indictment of messianic do-gooderism grows.
Michael Moore has his millions. He wants to make sure you never rise above your station.
Of course, the progressives are whining about how “mean” this is, Some have even played the race card, which is beyond ridiculous. Typical double-standard. Remember, these are the same people who called Bush “Hitler” for eight years and wore “Sarah Palin is a [C-word]” t-shirts.
Excerpt:
As is typical in many large urban centers, many of Chicago’s poor were visiting hospital emergency rooms for non-emergencies. While she was a highly-paid Vice President at the prestigious University of Chicago Medical Center, Mrs. Obama duly concocted the Urban Health Initiative (UHI) as a solution.
Under the UHI, Medicaid/Medicare patients were redirected from the Medical Center’s ER, to small, faraway clinics — thus freeing up the Medical Center’s precious resources (critics say) for the exclusive use of wealthier patients with private insurance.
