A mask stamping on a human face — forever

Teaching and conveying information are one among the most important aspects of writing. Often like a college professor trying to teach undergraduates the vitally important fundamentals of political science and the basics of governmental power.

Fortunately, the far left has been providing an increased number of examples of its inherent authoritarianism

This means that those of the far left living in denial can dispense with continually trying to pretend that something is false simply because it's not explicitly proven every five minutes. We on the pro-freedom right often wonder why leftists persist in staying on the wrong side of history, not to mention being tardy with their lessons in comparison to the rest of the class. They're holding everyone else back while we need to talk about the fact that the far left can't let go of its control obsession and its face mask fetish.

You would think that the Cochrane study would have been the last nail in the coffin for face masks, given that for almost three years, we haven't seen a straight comparison that would conclusively prove that they work. Parenthetically speaking, we know that if they did work, the far left would have been able to cite a plethora of studies showing this, and we would have been inundated with this news 24/7. Everyone knows that the opposite happened. Dennis Prager put this all in perspective with his essay, "Why the Left Is Pro-Mask." He contends that the mask mandate is all you need to know about the authoritarian far left. We can't do it justice here, but here is the money quote:

A fourth reason the Left insists on forcing others to wear masks is that controlling others' lives is in the Left's raison d'etre. Controlling others is what leftism is all about.

I took a drive to Half Moon Bay, California yesterday to watch the incredible storm pound the coast. I got stopped just short of the ocean by a fallen tree that covered the road and there were no side roads around it. The wind was coming off the ocean at a steady 20-30 mph with prolonged gusts to 60 mph. It was magnificent.

I saw a couple of people in that gale wearing masks while outside and in their cars alone. It just makes me shake my head at the lack of common sense in so many people. But, to console myself, I remember to tell myself that they also vote.

The Japanese mask fetish way predates this COVID pandemic. It goes back decades.

With the exception of the morons during in the cars alone with the windows up, I think it’s more virtue signaling than anything else.

My per peeve is when you pass them in a store... How some almost leave the ground jumping away from you or frantically pull their masks up when approaching... I wanna just smack em!! Lol..

"I think we need to start referring to them as “Mask Nazis.”"
Let them war their masks so long as they don't try to force others to do so. I think "Mask Fools" is a better term than "Mask Nazis." Some of my doctors and my wife doctors insist we wear masks in their office. My wife has a chronic bacterial lunge infection where it might make better sense while in the office with other people.

I don’t think so - I don’t think those wearing masks alone in their cars have taken the time to think things out for themselves.

Amen to that!

It really amazed me all the Christians I am around were so scared that they seemed to refuse to TRUST JESUS! Trusting is what kept us sane!
