It’s just the flu, bro.

Good news in Texas - Governor Abbott rolled back the draconian mandatory mask rules imposed in some Democrat counties. So I am thankful that lawmakers are slowly allowing us to have some of our constitutional freedoms again.

Herd Immunity - Apparently the science around herd immunity is settled. It is really settled and not just global warming “settled”. Herd immunity levels are known for many viruses and these levels are a function of how many healthy people the average sick person infects. It is a broad range right now but herd immunity for CV occurs in the range of 29% to 74% having antibodies.

Worldometer - numbers of newly infected are on the way down. Politicians must surely relax things now - right?

[I remember when we ran Ann Coulter off as well. In fact it seems we have lost quite a number of freepers to friendly fire. Maybe it’s time we stopped while we still have a FReeRepublic.]

---

Free Republic used to be neck and neck with National Review (#1000 range) in terms of its US Alexa ranking. Now it’s slouching towards #5000. Although a significant number of Freepers have shuffled off this mortal coil, the repeated purges have taken a toll.

Good grief! Give it a rest. I think I joined this site back in the nineties. I rarely post but I'm here every day, multiple times a day, and have been doing so since way back when.

I enjoy this thread, probably because I agree with the sentiments 100%.

My rights don't end where your fear begins.

[wastoute]

You have no idea of what I might be fearful of. I have jumped out of airplanes, i have rappelled hundreds of feet into dark pit caves. I have delivered a baby by C section on a prostitute with AIDs. I dare say I have done things YOU wouldn’t attempt.

[bagster]

So you get a kick out of mocking people.

Some people just need mocking.

You get a kick out of damaging the unity of freepers.

If by 'unity of freepers', you mean that only one opinion is allowed, then yes. I get a huge kick. Why do you defend group-think?

You enjoy creating uncivil discourse. Is that what you are saying?

If by 'uncivil discourse', you mean rolling against the tide to speak the truth, then yes. I enjoy it very much.

Maybe you should go back and read your post again.

I always do. I consider my posts works of art. I recommend you read them twice yourself. There is much to be learned.

Surely you didn’t mean to communicate the message you did.

If my answers frighten you, you should cease asking scary questions.

“””My rights don’t end where your fear begins.”””
Thought of the day. Love it.

“But we didn’t destroy the economy over the flu. We seemed to be smarter back then as a people.”

But “back then”, Bad Orange Man wasn’t up for re-election. Simply comparing people’s reactions to flu and WuFlu isn’t even possible, because this issue is entirely political and THE variable in the situation is Trump.

[Fightin Whitey]

I promise this will be my last reply here.

[bagster]

Who have I mocked? Upon whom have I laid a baseless claim? Who have I threatened with violence. Who have I attempted to dehumanize (Karen?).

Impimp, for one. You have accused him of being a rabble rouser and some kind of mole sent by the enemy to destroy this website. That's beyond mockery, by the way. That's outright slander and slightly evil because its obvious that he is none of those things.

People crack me up sometimes. Out of one side of their neck, they self-righteously accuse, and out of the other side they do exactly what they accuse people of.

“Fear bro’s”. Thanks for reinforcing my point.

Uhhh. You're welcome?

And feel free to dispute the term if you think you can.

[bagster]

Keep it up. Your my best argument.

If that's true, I'd hate to see the rest of your argument collection.

[MayflowerMadam]

“nurse she knew who was dealing with covid patients who contracted the virus. That nurse took her own life.”

Did she suicide due to seeing the despair of the patients around her, or because she had contracted the virus? If the first, that’s sad but it comes with nursing — especially Hospice nursing. If the second, she was an idiot considering that over 90% recover.

I presented a case against him by pointing to his own behavior.

[bagster]

Maybe it is you who should recognize it is not “dissent” I am trying to put an end to.

Oh, it is.

And you better recognize before you wake up and find out you're Hitler.

“’if we save just one life’; then we must close down the entire country.”

That’s pretty much what Fraud Fauci is saying. The daily conference call among Fauci, Birx, and Hillary must be very interesting.

[bagster]

So. It’s naive then. Thanks. That helps.

I'm a helper.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Not only is he a better FReeper than you, he is a much better HUMAN than you.
You should be ashamed of yourself...according to his opinion.

[wastoute]

Hitler? You really want to go THERE? LOL.

[MayflowerMadam]

“So I am thankful that lawmakers are slowly allowing us to have some of our constitutional freedoms again.”

[groan] “they’re ALLOWING us”? “THEY are allowing us”? They were wrong to steal our Constitutional freedoms in the first place. To quote Greg Gutfeld: “I HATE THESE PEOPLE!”

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

:: Hitler? You really want to go THERE? ::

Why not?
Do you deny history?

Or, are you just being smug and declaring victory in the face of massive losses.
Like a good Rhino.
