Denying Americans the simple pursuit of happiness

The last four months in the United States have probably been the ugliest seen in generations. Not only were Americans summarily put under house arrest, with churches shut and free speech muzzled, in major urban Democratically-controlled cities elected officials played favorites, allowing free speech and free movement to the leftist political activists whom these Democrats preferred, while using their police power to aggressively oppress conservatives and anyone who might be considered an opponent.

On top of this ugliness, we had our first experience of an American Kristallnacht. Not only were those leftist protesters free to protest while other Americans were on lockdown, these leftist radicals were allowed by these Democratic politicians to use violence and looting to terrorize the general population.

The nation we have today is no longer a land of liberty. Many things we only four months ago took for granted are now denied us.

Do you remember going to a restaurant for pleasure? Remember doing it with a bunch of friends? Remember when the only thing you had to consider was the type of food you wanted to eat? Now, you can’t do that. The restaurant might not be open any longer, and if it is open you have to follow so many rules that gathering there with a bunch of friends is impossible.

Do you remember going to a theater to see a play? Remember going to a sports arena to watch your favorite sports team? Remember going to the movies? All lost, possibly never to return. Our panic over COVID-19 and our willingness to let governments rule our lives has make them all impossible. You can’t enjoy these gentle pleasures anymore, period.

Some bits of that sound eerily familiar these days...

We’ve replaced King George with Deep State.
