Big Government Means Never Having to Say You're Sorry
American Thinker ^ | 22 Jul, 2022 | Pete McArdle

After all the COVID horrors the government has put us through — and continues to — you'd think we'd at least get some form of apology for all the failures.

The beauteous Ali McGraw, in the movie Love Story, tells us, "Love means never having to say you're sorry."

As the latest variant of COVID-19 sweeps the land, that movie line is also the mantra of federal, state, and local health officials.

They're doctors, some of them much like "Dr." Jill, and they love you, John Q. Citizen, so much that, even when they totally botch the U.S. response to the Wuhan Flu, causing untold death and misery, they feel no need to apologize.

So they will never apologize for ordering shutdowns.

"Everybody stay in your cave!" is a short-term provision for a wolf or a shooter on the loose. Used on a large scale, society simply unravels.

We were supposed to shut down for only two weeks.

The extended and unnecessary countrywide shutdowns damaged children, mental health, small businesses, access to routine medical care, the arts, and...the list goes on.

But as the umpteenth variant of COVID-19 currently does its thing, it's obvious that shutdowns, especially prolonged ones — like children not remotely learning for two entire grades — had no positive effect. Still, don't expect anyone in the health establishment to feel bad about the lockdowns they ordered.

How 'bout them masks? COVID Mask Theater — that's what I called it in the beginning, and that's what I call it now.

The worst thing was all of the lies told by leftist government personnel that are used to telling lies.

Corporate responsibility means no individual responsibility. That’s why liberals operate corporately.
If you want changes you have to punish liberals corporately, since they operate corporately.

That means what happens in Podunk, can be blamed on liberals in New York.

Mostly, I'm still wondering why no one is trying to find out from where and how this virus got out. You'd think they'd do that to try and prevent another from happening.

Kinda' scary, right?

“…but they’re apparently OK with the immeasurable harm they caused,…”

In their minds they are the anointed. Chosen by God. The Chosen owe the plebes NOTHING. The plebes should grateful for any chance to kneel before the Chosen.

What a bunch of baloney. If you did something wrong and hurt someone, it’s love to make it right as much as possible.

“Government is not reason, it is not eloquence-it is force! Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.”—George Washington.
