This new round of panic and control over the Communist Chinese virus has turned into a competition among tyrants: Who can hurt the American citizens of their respective states the most.
For many reasons what is going on is absolutely ridiculous -- not the least of which is that every restriction, command, diktat and mandate being issued the week before Thanksgiving Day is not "new"; they have been tried before and most have been in effect for at least the past half year -- and these things simply don't work! Masking, staying two yards apart from every other living soul, shutting down private businesses, closing schools and playgrounds, severely restricting church services (and if you do get in, you're not "allowed" to worship with hymns of praise), eliminating most entertainment, quarantining of healthy people ... none of these drastic, clearly unConstitutional mandates have done a G-D thing to stop or even slow down the respiratory virus which continues to act -- well -- like a normal flu virus (except it's nowhere near as deadly as most flus!)
This simply must stop. Now! The accumulation of power by a few politicians and bureaucrats who see the virus as an "opportunity" is just not compatible with the existence of our Constitutional Republic.
What American "men" and women are doing to their children -- and to themselves -- is disgraceful at best -- criminal at worst ... even fatal if you get right down to it!
It's about damn time we say "Enough!"
-- We MUST say "Enough of your sh!t!" to the governors, mayors, county councilmen and other lower level politicians.
-- We MUST say "Enough of your fear-mongering!" to the plethora of unelected bureaucrats such as "public health officials".
-- We MUST say "Enough of your damn lies!" to all those "experts" who have been wrong so often and who have bastardized science into nothing more than opinion. As to this virus, "Science" has devolved into "Political Science".
These self-absorbed asses are killing our Republic by destroying our economic system, by dissolving our social systems and by crushing the human spirit of American citizens, most tragically, American children who have literally lost a year of growth in their young lives. What a shameful way for adults to behave: deliberately allowing -- yes, allowing that to happen ... to allow other people entrusted with political power to do this to us, to our children and to our country.
What the G-D hell is wrong with us?! Why are we allowing power-obsessed politicians, ego-maniacal bureaucrats and unwise, failed "experts" to do this to us?! Are we so fearful of a respiratory virus with a survival rate of over 99 percent, and are we so subservient to everyday politicians and bureaucrats that we willingly give up our livelihoods, that we physically and psychologically harm ourselves and hurt our children and that we purposefully have replaced rational thought and reasoning with pure emotion just because politicians, bureaucrats and experts commanded that we do so? You'd have to be insane to think this is "the right thing to do" for God's sake.
It's time for American "men" to re-grow a pair, for American women to re-take control of their family's well-being, and for all of us to scream loudly, persistently and courageously to the assholes who have come to believe -- have led themselves, not without good reason, to believe -- that they control our very lives ... and we must do this until they get the message that their tyranny is over ... it's OVER!
Please set aside your emotions, fear, politics -- whatever -- for just a few precious moments at this normally joyous time of the year and realize this tyranny not going to end without a mass, hopefully peaceful (at least at this point) uprising. You must understand this is not going to happen out of the goodness of our "leaders' hearts" or without your active involvement. History and human nature being what it is, you must understand that politicians and bureaucrats are not going to give up their vast new, self-anointed powers, and "experts" are not about to give up their new-found celebrity without a fight. No sirree they're not! But realize the odds are in our favor. I calculate, conservatively, we outnumber the tyrants and experts by, oh, say well over a million to one. Decent odds ... but the numbers and the odds mean nothing without positive action.
Good rant.

I totally agree with your rant. I have given this a lot of thought for awhile. I think so many on here agree with your point, but the rubber meets the road when anybody tries to come up with reasonable solutions of stopping the madness.
I am stunned by how many don’t realize that the mayors, governors, etc. have no power alone. They only have power by using the threat of arrest. The Dallas salon owner would have continued business as usual, had she not been arrested. Other salons and shops would have decided for themselves and many would have opened. One could argue that the mayor could have just turned off power. True. But there is one hell of a difference losing your power, or being shackled and put in a cage.
People are being arrested, threatened with arrest or, in some cases, cops are just standing there watching the real criminals attack. You may not be aware but if you think cops need to honor their oath to the Constitution or pay a hefty fine, then you are called a cop hater on this site. No matter how many times you say you think the specific cops who don’t honor their oath should be in trouble, it is turned around into ALL cops don’t honor their oath. Even the guy who gave you kudos and a mic drop, he asked me in a post why I thought cops worked for America? He said they work for whatever jurisdiction they are in . He said they need to just follow the order of the “derps” (deep state) that is in office.
If we can’t get past the hurdle of the real threat of being imprisoned, then I don’t have a solution, but unlike so many on here, I am willing to listen to your solution without distorting it, or name calling.
your cheerleading is great, now we need a plan of action. After a few patriots start, the rest will follow.
