As David Horowitz relates, inside every Leftist is an authoritarian screaming to get out.

We need to throw away our Liberty and Rights, because Dictatorships are better for unit cohesion. GOT IT...

[facedown]

Communist agitprop.

[right way right]

Ivy is Godless and clueless.

[the OlLine Rebel]

OMG. I can’t read on. Just a skim made me puke.

You should’ve put on the Helen Thomas barf alert.

[Chgogal]

My response: NATURAL IMMUNITY whenever possible.

[cgbg]

Either you own your body or you are a slave.

Those are the only two choices—there is no “moderate” position.

[freedumb2003]

If you are vaxxed and masked what other people do should not matter.

That is as simple as it gets. Your personal risk profile says mask and vax? Please do it by all means. Someone else doing so or not has zero effect on you.

[Organic Panic]

Hmm. No mention of the welfare leeches who expect society to provide for their individual needs,

[caseinpoint]

Yes, shame on all those who insist on “my body, my choice” and “you can’t require mentally ill people to take medication”. Shame on those who dictate others can’t drive SUVs while jetting around on private planes to lecture the unwashed. Shame on those who say make all drugs legal and insist that anyone should be allowed across the border, regardless of the threat to citizens of this country. Shame on those who demand the right to disrespect the flag and burn and loot at will, regardless of who else is harmed. How dare these people insist on individual rights over the well-being of the commonweal.

Hey Ivy,

I working on getting natural immunity. Too late for you. But you can thank me later.

[Lurkinanloomin]

I would argue that the refusal on the part of a vocal minority to even acknowledge climate change and the role of humans in causing it similarly has its roots in American individualism. To concede we are in a crisis is to accept the need for action to counter the rise in atmospheric CO2.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CO2 is essentila for life on earth.
CO2 is NOT a dangerous pollutant.
CO2 has nothing to do with the temperature.

If everyone who believes that CO2 is a dangerous pollutant would stop exhaling it, we could solve that problem overnight.
I think they owe us that.

[Seruzawa]

[Leep]

Individual freedom as long as the other cult members approve?

[E. Pluribus Unum]

A nation of individuals recognizing no responsibilities towards others...

A collectivist's straw man.

[BiteYourSelf]

🐄💩😫

[HartleyMBaldwin]

Here’s a novel concept, Ivy: I am not, in fact, responsible for you, nor you for me. Take responsibility for yourself and mind your own business.

[glennaro]

COVID-19 is not the only example of the damage that ensues when a large segment of society elevates the rights of individuals over obligations to society

This one sentence -- in complete conflict with America's founding principles -- is why our Republic is in potentially mortal danger from the breathtakingly ignorant and unspeakably unwise enemy within ... and the author of this diatribe is indeed an enemy of the American Republic and to the principle of Liberty.

[right way right]

I think we owe it to ourselves and each other to eliminate anyone who commits voter fraud.

[outofsalt]

"The successful functioning of a free republic depends on people taking personal responsibility for their actions."

Antifa is all for masking, David. Where were you then?!
