Holland-Slays Source

The Solipsist stands behind Rick Santorum!  Which, given the semi-official definition of "Santorum" may not be the best place to be, but still. . . .

Last night, on "The Colbert Report," Stephen played a clip of a Rick Santorum appearance from a few weeks ago, where the former senator commented that, in the Netherlands, elderly people are made to wear bracelets indicating their readiness to be euthanized.  He also stated that 10% of all deaths in the Netherlands are attributable to euthanasia.

Now, of course, the Netherlands is not to be trusted: First of all, it keeps pretending to be Holland.  And how can you trust people who don't even know enough to build their country ABOVE the waterline.  Still, the idea that doctors are running around wantonly killing off unproductive geezers--attractive as the idea sounds--seems somewhat unlikely.  Indeed, the Santorum camp has not provided any documentation supporting the candidate's assertions about this matter--quite possibly because no such documentation exists.  Until now, that is!

See, I figure, if pressed on the matter, Santorum could always say he "read it someplace."  And since the media elite will probably go all "verifiable" on his ass, Santorum will want to name an actual source  where he could have read these outrageous statements about over-enthusiastic Dutch mercy-killers.  Well, Rick, look no further.

(Ahem.)

In the Netherlands, people must wear bracelets indicating their eligibility for euthanasia.  Furthermore, on average, 10% of all Dutch deaths can be attributed to euthanasia.

There you go, Senator.  Feel free to point any and all reporters to the Solipsist: That's http://solipsisticmusings.blogspot.com.  Send your supporters my way, too: I'm sure they'd LOVE to hear what I have to say.

Don't worry, Rick.  The Solipsist has got your back.  You're welcome!
