Paraphrasing Ben Franklin, those who give up essential liberty for temporary security will soon lose both.

Yeah I hate being told I have to do something that’s for my own good.

My mother can get away with that.

That’s about it.

I posted this on another thread but probably better suited here.

Exactly how much of America’s future prosperity are you willing to risk for this virus? The real effects of this virus are not being felt in the death count, but in the utter destruction of America. Our economy, our schools, our young ones very future.

We are sacrificing American youth’s future on an alter of fear. It is a travesty.

Stop the madness, end ALL the shutdowns, end ALL the masks/social distancing. If you want to save America, you need to end it ALL.

The simple questions everyone needs to ask themselves is this: Is this virus bad enough to destroy America over? Did our grandfathers, and their grandfathers, and their grandfathers all the way to the beginning, endure more or less than us? Did they sacrifice, for the good of America, more or less than us? Will you let their sacrifice be in vain, to toss so precious a gift, as our freedom, at the feet of a virus?

Everyone condoning the reaction to this virus should be ashamed of themselves. History will look down on you, and those who have fought and died for this country, have to be rolling over in their graves right now.

Shame on you for not understanding that which was handed to you....

For those who haven't seen it yet, here are two websites that are organizing patriots to resist fake Covid-19 "mandates" and the CA recall Gavin Newsom petition:

The doctor is organizing and notes it may take a combination of protest, recall etc. to get our freedom back.

Dr Pam Popper's Youtube videos about Covid farce and resistance to rights abuses..

Here's her website where you can sign up to get involved:

https://makeamericansfreeagain.com/

Below, this woman helped organize to get rid of masks in OC. I grabbed a whole post by Jane long with the info:

Jane Long
This lady is from CA and posted this vid...says she'll have a more detailed vid coming soon...she's working to organize groups all across CA and the country. Bravo to her!!

Here's her/their website: www.thehealthyamerican.org

I did see a FReeper post the name of an attorney that would represent people charged with mask violations (free of charge). If anyone knows those names, please post them on this thread.

Here's an FR thread and a direct link to the Recall Gavin Newsom website verified by FReepers.

RECALL GAVIN NEWSOM: Are fake websites collecting useless signatures to deflect the public from signing actual petitions?

Here's a direct link to the recall site:

Most of the population has given up essential liberty at the direction of fifty petty tyrants and myriad pettier tyrants (mayors). We won’t be getting it back as freedom. Some of it will return as retractable privilege. We don’t need more guns and ammo, really. We have lots of that. We need some leaders. In the war that has begun if/when we fight back we will be in opposition to the military for at least a time until the military begins to disintegrate as the troops begin to mutiny. For a while they will obey the Obama generals, though. We have not only the Leftist mobs against us but also almost the entire weight of the Bureaucracy, every section of which has its armed wing.
And the mobs are arming with Chinese smuggled imports and rioters’ raids on gunshops.

And this was a fight between Dems. Think about what would have happened if it was between a Dem and a Republican.

There is much wrong with your argument, though it is well stated.

I believe, as Trump has said, America’s economy is strong and can recover from this and worse. Let us not lose sight of the real threat to it, which is even the source of this virus, China. China had gutted America’s industrial and economic strength even before releasing this plague onto the world.

The value of our so-called “schools” is evidenced in the streets now, everyday. Ignorant fools, who are its products, are ready to follow Marxists, 100 years out of step.

There is much wrong in America which certainly threatens its future more than this virus.

If it takes “shutdowns” to end America’s abandonment of its economic and industrial independence, or to end the unionized so-called “education” of its children by Marxists, it sounds like a good trade to me. Americans should not be afraid of this virus, or of fixing the serious issues that face us.
