Commentary: COVID-19 lockdown gives Americans a taste of tyranny
Delaware State News ^ | April 24, 2020 | Ingrid M. Sigler

Posted on 04/27/2020 8:03:08 PM PDT by grcuster

I am an immigrant and a naturalized citizen. My parents brought me to the United States of America from war-torn Europe when I was ten years old. My parents and older brother lived through World War II. My father was taken into Germany as slave labor, my mother survived by fleeing her home with my older brother, living in the countryside, hiding with a farm family until the Americans liberated Holland.

We came here to be free. My parents lived the American dream, rising from abject poverty to build their own business, free to make their own way and to pursue happiness – life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, just like it says in the Preamble to our beloved Constitution. I have experienced the “Blessings of Liberty” ....

An immigrant's view of the over reach of our various levels of government agenda of attacking our freedoms and liberties along with our livelihood in the name of safety. However, the liberal government officials are not impacted but retain the comfort and luxuries. I pray that the people don't forget who is perpetrating the true evil since this started.

The people need to start pushing back.

The interesting and ironic thing in all of this is that the Left is pushing with all their might to have Trump assume the role of the Tyrant so they and drum something up to push him out of office with the loss of an election.

Trump is steadfastly refusing to take the bait and become the Tyrant.

What if we lived in a time where we had someone in office (Such as Obama) who would take that power and grasp it with both hands?

While the greens are whispering, “Look how the Earth has healed, we need this same power because OUR climate models say the world will end if we don’t.”

And every American should listen to Ms. Sigler and people like her. She knows of what she speaks.

See, that’s the thing. The Left doesn’t see this entire thing as a problem where people are dying, economies are being destroyed, and people are losing their jobs and something must be done to fix it.

They see it as a political opportunity to remake things.

Spend money.

Increase the size of government.

Increase the footprint of government.

Make fundamental changes in the political processes that are favorable to them.

If there has ever-EVER in the history of this country been a more ghoulish, corrupt, and immoral political entity in this country than the Democrats and the Left of today, I would be interested in hearing who that entity might be.

I forgot to mention, as you did, implementing their ridiculous climate agenda.

Yet more proof that God has favored us as a nation. Those who protect His chosen people, Israel and those who live there, will 3favored and protected.

Trump was in a no win situation so that’s why he left it up to the Governors.

My last reply was about your question about what it would look like if Obama were in charge.

Or Hillary. I agree God placed Trump as President during this critical juncture in time. Like Pharaoh, our nation through governors and mayors further displayed their contempt for God during this illegal crackdown. Makes you wonder if this trial is similar to what God did to Egypt. For we are being tried and its a matter if the people turn to him for repentance or not. If not, we are not out of the woods.

This evening Laura Ingraham played a YouTube clip from two California doctors who analyzed data that indicate the virius is not as dangerous or as deadly as being presented and as such the lockdown by CA Governor is not necessary. At the end of the show she said Google YouTube has taken down the video claiming earlier that it would remove videos that disagreed with World Health Organization guidelines/conclusions. Be prepared to see lots of controversy over Google not allowing relevant discussion that disagrees with “established” positions on this matter.

Makes me wonder all the more why the Catholic and Orthodox hierarchy caved and closed their churches except for the ballyhooed "live streaming"?

If the earth healed in six weeks then it wasn’t injured very badly.

They haven't removed them all and if you put 'Dr. Erickson' into the Youtube search engine you can find more than this one.

I think I get your drift-God would protect us from Obama.
