This is stupid.
We haven’t lost anything.
We’ve temporarily accepted a lock down to stop a pandemic from spreading and taking lives.
When the threat is over, we’ll resume exercising our rights.

Your rights stop when you start causing harm to others, and in this very limited situation, certain normal activities cause harm to others.

We the sheeple have tipped our hand. The cat is out of the bag, we are nation EASILY cowed.

“ Your rights stop when you start causing harm to others, and in this very limited situation, certain normal activities cause harm to others.” That statement is absolutely false. A person who is not infected is not causing anyone any harm, but they have lost rights. What you should say is potentially cause harm. Is that the new threshold for asserting your rights? Because you do numerous things every day that could potentially cause harm.

“Your rights stop when you start causing harm to others, and in this very limited situation, certain normal activities cause harm to others.”

We had that conversation over dinner last night. We used dozens of examples and it’s d@mn HARD to quantify this stuff, as in where MY rights End and YOUR rights BEGIN.

Apply it to:

Drunk Driving
Abortion
States Rights
Gun Rights (Or any Amendment you’d care to choose)
Property Rights (Home Owner Associations!)
Education
Marriage laws
Welfare
Education
Workers Rights v. Employer Rights
Crime & Punishment (not the Novel, LOL!)
Blah, Blah, Blah...

It used to be much more cut and dry when we strictly followed our Constitution. One reason I’m so PROUD of all President Trump has accomplished for us in the Judiciary. If he does nothing else but concentrate on packing the courts with Constitution-Loving judges, he’ll have reversed decades of abuses to, ‘We The People’.

Incremental creep and overreach by Government at ALL levels is what keeps the love of Socialism alive in a mostly still FREE America.

Temporarily...yeah right.

“Your rights stop when you start causing harm to others, and in this very limited situation, certain normal activities cause harm to others.”

You are a fool. This stupid argument could be used over and over again. You might hurt somebody in a car crash. If you ban cars, then you can never “start causing harm to others”. I can see banning going to the supermarket because there is a slight chance of “causing harm to others”. We, as a society accept a certain amount of risk. We can prevent all accidental infection, injury, or harm if we lock everyone in a closet. At what point do YOU say enough is enough.

Ban ever leaving home for everyone, forever! That will be about as safe as we can get. No thank you...fascist.
