[Leaning Right]

Two points, please.

1. Throwing out personal insults is something Leftists are fond of doing. It does nothing to advance an argument, and so should be avoided. This is something FR’s founder JimRob has mentioned numerous times.

2. My comments in post #5 have nothing to do with Biden, or even with masks. It’s all about property rights, which is a conservative position. A property owner should be able to set the rules for his business. “No shoes, no service”. If you don’t like it, go shop somewhere else.

As I noted earlier, I am anti-mask. If a store’s sign says “Please wear a mask”, I take that as a suggestion and enter without one.

If a store’s sign says “Masks required”, I go shop somewhere else.

**We are not here on FR to bash, trash or personally destroy each other.
Save that vemon for the real enemies, i.e. The Globalists, The Wokes and all their destructive Zombies.

“A property owner should be able to set the rules for his business. “

So, there is no limit to businesses? No negros? No whites? No Jews? I bet you think there is a limit.

>> "A property owner should be able to set the rules for his business."

What is this private property you're talking about? When the govt forcibly enlisted that business and their employees into the covid enforcement brigade they are no longer acting as a private entity but are instead de facto govt agents and get no respect from me, and that includes any respect for your antiquated notion of their "property rights."

[enumerated]

Regardless of property rights, or any other rights, stupidity should be called out. That’s what the first amendment is all about, which is another conservative value.

We live in a world where the 4 billion on the dumb side of the bell curve have an IQ below 100. Think about that. We share this planet with literally billions of morons.

Unfortunately, even a lot of the reasonably intelligent people are too lazy to think for themselves, so they just follow.

We are aboard a “ship of fools”, and if we just passively accept stupidity because people have a right to be stupid on their own property, then we are at the mercy of fools.

Life isn’t only about rights - that’s the lowest common denominator when settling legal disputes. Not infringing on each other’s rights is great, but it is the bare minimum a human being can aspire to.

I like people who call people out for being stupid - loudly and often. This Covid19 BS has exposed just how contagious stupidity and group-think is.

If you see stupidity, call it out.

There are no property rights here…there is only The Bill of Rights you sheep!
