A hill to die on—a current stand that might finally have meaning
American Thinker ^ | 7 Dec, 2021 | Joe Strader

The leftist rearview mirror is littered with hills we swore to die on but nothing has stopped the leftist onslaught. Maybe this latest hill will finally matter.

“This is the end. We promise. This is the hill to die on. This cannot be allowed to continue. It must stop now.” How often have conservatives said this, although they’ve never meant it? But maybe this time it’s true...

A current hill to die on forcing COVID vaccinations on our children, who have almost no risk from COVID. That fact is irrelevant if someone thinks they might be little walking disease vectors looking for a way to asymptomatically transmit the deadly virus to an unsuspecting and likely vaccinated adult.

This pandemic has had several hills to die on. The vaccine mandate for kids is just a refinement of the various employer mandates. There were mask mandates. People were put out of business. Churches were shuttered. We identified all as possible hills to die on. We weren’t going to comply—but we did, in vast numbers.

Another child-related hill to die on was Critical Race Theory and its various manifestations. And CRT isn’t just in schools. It’s invaded the government and corporate boardrooms as well. It’s everywhere. Faced with those hills on which parents stand, school boards are holding firm.

The government has one usually effective strategy: Force over time. The force can be economic, political, or even legal, but the government has a monopoly on force and can wield it mercilessly, without end, over time. It’s enlisted media, sports, and tech as allies. Politicians and bureaucrats think they can roll over our resistance with force applied over time. They think this because it’s often true.

It’s not our hill to die on, it’s their hill to die on.

We are very close to the Biblical “Mark”. Everyone’s mettle is being tested with these vaccines. Steel yourself now while we face the footman…

Jeremiah 12:5 If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?

Story Reminds me of one of the last time we had a strong Republican majority. How did that work out?

Recall Paul Ryan as leader of the house. Even with Trump in charge of executive and majorities in both branches it seemed we still couldn’t get anything done and he/they were always bowing to the Dems. I mean what over half the US wanted a wall and it was one of Trumps main campaign promises? Yet we ended up with a few hundred miles or so out of a 1000+ needed.

Personally I think that’s why we are in this mess now. When we had representative power under Ryan nothing was really done to make a stand.

Everyone talks about how the birds will sing, cows will give pure cream milk and the left will melt away if we can just regain power in 2022. Then I recall guys like Paul Ryan, Romney, Mcain and the rest like some we had in Georgia recently.

It’s not all about us having power, it’s who we have in power.

Did your kids get jabbed for other vaccines and tetanus? If yes, your comment like most on this board on this topic are a bit ridiculous and hypocritical.

“I cannot believe how far the left has been allowed to push their craziness!”

In large part because people think their crazy, as opposed to pure evil.

And by thinking they’re crazy, they think they can be appeased - they can’t. We tried that with getting rid of sodomy laws (”why should you care what they do in bed?”), then gay marriage (”how are you affected by who marries who”).

And where did the above lead us: “You parents have no business interfering with your childrens’ education”...even when part of that ‘education’ is sexualizing them and recruiting them to be gays.

Only when we learn to accept the Left for who they are, pure evil, and put ALL our efforts into DRIVING THEM OUT (rather than trying to purify the GOP, for example), will they be stopped.

Hill to die on?

Nice knowin’ ya.

A huge number of registered Pubbies have already gotten their kids “fixed” with the Clot Shot. Clearly, those individuals will play the part of the Scottish Nobles to this author’s Braveheart when the time comes to defend the hill in question.

In all candor, the first order of business in this country should be to develop and field a vaccine to arrest and reverse our current epidemic of effeminacy.

Not a vaccine. It’s MRNa gene therapy. Hyperbole and hysteria have nothing to do with your ignorance.

The inventor of it, who won a Nobel Prize says it’s poison, but you’re smarter than he is.

Do you get off on injecting children with experimental drugs?

Neither is your feigned interest in an answer to your question.

You know “How so”. Go ahead and and enlighten us about why Merriam Webster had the change, for propaganda purposes, to help tyrants do their dirty work, the dictionary definition of its own “Word of the Year”.

How so? Because it doesn't prevent infection. It doesn't prevent transmission. It doesn't prevent you from getting a serious case. And it won't save you from dying of the disease. All it does, in theory, is offer moderate protection for some from getting a serious case for a short period of time. If that's a vaccine, then they need to change the definition. Oh, that's right...they did.

/\

Speaking of,,,

Morning local TV news

Said

,,,,Shasta man dies of covid,,,.
., it’s not clear if the man may have died earlier,,,

Bwa ha ha

So, the shasta county man may have died before he died of Covid ?

Seems Hyperbole & hysteria isn’t helping MSM either, through it they have abandoned all credibility and have become a laughing stock.

,, just like the branch covidians who post here.
