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?!
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.
Early on I thought that as hot summer weather came, people would stop wearing those damned masks and start complaining about all the restrictions ... Didn't happen as fear provided a "good reason" for all the restrictions, mandates and closures to continue even though Easter and Memorial Day were crushed by the governors and bureaucrats.
Then I thought that as the school year began and fall social activities -- fall festivals; halloween, etc. -- all the continuing restrictions and closures would get people off their arses if for no other reason than to get the kids out of the house! ... Happened a little, but surprisingly little as fear continued to provide a "good reason" to keep the kids locked away by themselves and crush the kids' favorite holiday, Halloween.
But now, after eight long months of this, well, crap with what is (reportedly) no positive result from all the masking and distancing and locking down, closings and restrictions, I'm seeing the fear at least being qualified a bit as the Democrat/Left -- as they always do -- overreaches with threats of killing off our great religious-based holidays ... Thanksgiving and Christmas ... with no end in sight after that! .... But even this doesn't seem to be enough to get widespread anger going.
Even worse, most people seem not all that concerned about the loss of our basic freedoms. This is what is most disheartening. Not that tyrants wouldn't do this, but that people meekly -- or out of ongoing fear -- continue to accept these huge losses as "the new normal" (my God how I hate that phrase ... right up there with "be safe" and "better safe than sorry").
But we're at a tipping point now. If this vaccine doesn't reduce the fear so that people stop obsessing about the virus and begin to think how much they -- and their children -- have lost and begin to demand through words and especially with widespread noncompliance, I don't know what would. And all the while, the tyrants continue to up the ante ... to ramp up the mandates, demands, orders, restrictions ... beyond anything I could -- until this year -- imagine could ever be allowed by American citizens to happen in America.
As a good portion of the 73 miilion people who voted for Trump decide that they are simply not going to put up with this tyranny any longer ... if the politicians, bureaucrats and "experts" don't relent or a least back the hell off, things could get, well, pretty damn dicey pretty damn quickly. So the time for action is NOW!
That would be me and that's not even close to what I said. You hear things the way you want to hear them and reinterpret the things you say.
This is why you have a distorted view of 'cops'.
I am willing to listen to your solution without distorting it, or name calling.
Apparently not.
Here it is told in a way maybe even you can understand.
Its not the cops. Its the system. The politicians.
Get that through your head.
