America's Huddled Masses Yearn to Breathe Free
American Thinker.com ^ | April 20, 2020 | Daniel John Sobieski

Emma Lazarus could not imagine, when writing the 1883 sonnet inscribed on the Statute of Liberty, that the words of lines 10 and 11 -- “Give me your tired, your poor,/ Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” -- would bear such relevance to the situation now being endured by American citizens under government lockdown thanks to a global pandemic midwifed by scientists in a Chinese viral research lab in Wuhan.

The Wuhan pandemic is a liberal/progressive dream come true. It gives them the recession they have prayed for to oust President Trump. Their reason for getting up in the morning is to enact laws and programs that control every aspect of our lives and the Wuhan virus gives them the chance to do just that. They are not letting this crisis go to waste, moving swiftly to exercise authority they do not legally have to shred the unalienable rights our Creator endowed us with and the Constitution written to protect them.

Americans are tired of an oppressive government that, for our own good, they tell us, locks us in our homes based on computer models that have never been right from day one and health guidelines that keep changing so much they might as well be written on an Etch-a-Sketch.

It’s going to be very interesting for the next few weeks. Folks can and will revolt. And the reaction of the more clueless governors (such as that ignorant Democrat s*** in Michigan) is playing right into my feeling that the reaction is going to get a lot stronger than she’d like.

Schadenfreude.

The person who is slowest to anger is the MOS dangerous when finally aroused.
“I am afraid we have aroused a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve.”
The Japanese admiral who said that was proven to be quite accurate.
That same “sleeping giant” is now beginning to stir. The explosion will be terrible to see.

That's the way they're playing it, yes. However, they have the simultaneous nightmare of Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, AOC, Omar, Tlaib, Maxine, Greta, et al, at the head of their (bowel) movement.

We're gonna slam em.
