The great (un)American experiment

If you’ve felt over the last year that you’re a lab rat running through a maze, you’re not imagining it. The government has plans for you.

A 2018 Pew Research poll revealed that a majority of Americans opposed the use of animals in scientific research. Opponents argue the practice is “inhumane and unnecessary.” While certainly an interesting topic of discussion and I’m certain the debate will rage on for years to come, I am more interested in another animal experiment that has gone on for the past year. I call it “the Great un-American experiment of 2020…and beyond.”

In this grand new experiment, humans, rather than mice or monkeys, were used as the test specimens. And in addition to being both inhumane and unnecessary, this experiment had the additional distinction of being unconstitutional. Our government discovered that they could seize Americans’ unalienable Rights in the name of public health and under threat of death.

Apparently, until COVID, in the history of the world, mankind has never before been faced with death and disease. Even though cancer and heart disease annually claim the lives of more than a million Americans, our Government told us that if we didn’t give up our Rights, more than a million Americans could die from COVID.

With the snap of their tyrannical fingers, a slew of unconstitutional mandates, and the aid of an undiscerning and dishonest “press,” our politicians achieved the previously unimaginable, but long desired, ambition to render the American citizen slave and themselves master.

The left is great at playing on people’s emotions.

Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot may have killed millions in their quest for Socialist Utopia, but leftists argue that it was progress towards a “Greater Good”. The same argument is being used to justify the obliteration of the Bill of Rights to save us from the Covid Monster.

They are not merely unamerican, they are an anti-human death cult.

The American branch of an international phenomenon.

Leftists have been performing experiments on citizens since I was a kid. Back then they called it school bussing and as usual a complete failure forced upon us against our will. One failed experiment after another. Trial and error for idiots.

this experiment had the additional distinction of being unconstitutional.

Only if and when the state burdens First Amendment protected activities more than others.
