Tyranny Always Starts with a Little Prick
American Thinker ^ | 10 Aug, 2021 | J.B. Shurk

Obamacare set the stage for our medical slavery.

Ten years ago, when Tea Party Patriot groups were popping up all over America to fight back against Obamacare's socialized medicine and its expansion of the welfare state, it was common to hear the battle framed as one between "makers" and "takers," a rebuke by working-class Americans who knew they would ultimately be paying more in taxes for worse health care so that Americans who paid no taxes at all could have their "fair share." When people called out Obama and his medical mandates (you must have Obamacare, and Obamacare must cover abortions, "sex change" operations, and anything else the government decrees...) for orchestrating a federal takeover of one fifth of the economy while inviting Big Brother to peek behind the hospital curtain and spy on the private health decisions of every American, they were lambasted for not having enough empathy for those in need. Obama was just implementing Romneycare on a national scale and walking in George Bush's "compassionate conservative" footsteps, after all. What could possibly go wrong?

Turns out an awful lot can go wrong awfully quickly. Obamacare mandates have morphed into mask and lockdown and injection mandates. Obama's use of the NSA, IRS, and FBI to threaten conservative speech became redundant when Silicon Valley censorship boards jumped in to do the government's bidding in the name of public health. After conditioning Americans to recoil at anything deemed "hate speech" or "harmful misinformation," the government has had a pretty easy time banning as "hateful" or "harmful" anybody still putting up a fight. And after scaring enough Americans into thinking they would instantly die for breathing fresh air, the gangrenous Obama Gang has had no problem finding volunteers willing to spy on their neighbors

Obama seemed to favor communists who had a Maoist belief system. Now we can see ourselves becoming a China if there is not an enormous push back. We will be lucky if we ever have another election that is close to being fair and honest so it will be very difficult to stop the communist push.

Actually, GWB did it with his Porkulus that included the EMR/EHR regulations that caused so many independent docs to retire or go to work for health systems.

“Tyranny Always Starts with a Little Prick”

Actually, Obama is a big prick but we get the gist.

How many posters here are all in for medical tyranny? They absolutely believe the lies of the tyrannical, that all they have to do is obey Fauci and he will keep them safe.

They are so full of fear that hatred of all who do not obey consumes them. This is why FR has a cadre of grave dancers that can’t help but celebrate every time someone died who has defied their god Fauci.

It is not enough for them to be faithful to their beliefs, they need to destroy all the unbelievers who cling to freedom.

Yes, the Man who created a pandemic who now tells us we are the problem because we don’t listen to him. Fauci, the new word for A-Hole.

I’m currently very depressed about the future of the US. And part of that is that so many people here on Free Republic are pushing in favor of government tyranny. So afraid of the virus that they want to empower the government, and business, to take any means possible to save us from a disease with a 99.7% survival rate.

We know that the government lies to us. Yet we choose to believe the lies and we do as we are told.

I really can't comprehend the battered wives here at FR who should know by now that nothing told to us by the government/media is true, and yet parrot whatever talking points the deep state/CDC spouts.

Utterly ridiculous. We have a historic number of job openings and pay $15/hr for crap err fast food, but the government and woke corporations are adding reasons to terminate over vaccine status.

That'll become the word to use instead of "A-Hole". "Boy, that clerk! Did you see what he did? Yeah! He's a real fauci!"

It is true the artificial labor shortage, with the accompanying higher wage pressure, we are seeing in the labor market has been and still is being caused by the left wing’s generous government unemployment handouts. As such, we have artificial shortages AND WITH IT INFLATION in goods and services because “businesses” (management) refuses to hire at the higher wages. BOTH SIDE ARE HYPOCRITES AND WRONG.
