Liberation Day in Georgia
townhall.com ^ | 4/24/20 | Tom Tradeup

As you read this, the State of Georgia has become the embodiment of the mantra that has been bubbling-up for weeks among quarantined Americans from coast to coast: “THIS MADNESS MUST END.”

So-called “average” citizens—whose wisdom and common sense far exceed that of robotic, agenda-driven media hysterics—cheered the news that Georgia governor Brian Kemp had signed an executive order to allow barber shops, hair salons, movie theaters and bowling alleys to reopen on Friday, April 24th. (Note the word allow. Kemp did not order businesses to reopen. Weird concept: he simple eased restrictions imposed which helped bend the curve of the Chinese Coronavirus.)

Predictable result? Snarling dogs from what we laughingly refer to as “journalism” in America went all howler-monkey on him. Reporters on TV—standing out in the street BY THEMSELVES but wearing masks and standing in cornfields in Iowa BY THEMSELVES but wearing masks—attacked and ridiculed Kemp for exercising his gubernatorial judgement on behalf of Georgia’s citizenry.

A heavy price for personal vanity.

Hair cutting should proceed outdoors.

Crash test dummies, and if you don’t agree, just observe the media.

I’ve been noting the male talking heads now and again.

None of them appear to be getting shaggy.

I am.

when all this began, it seemed a chicken way of dealing with a problem. in early years, it took guts to go west, knowing there was nothing but hardship ahead. The same for any venture that leads to an unknown. but the one thing needed is an attitude of courage ...
It seems the last month has been hunkered down and waiting for the storm to pass.

we dont know how bad it could have been or how much hunkering was actually needed.

Salons and barber shops had requirements to stay clean before Wuhan virus. They know how. It was stupid to close them.

We have been booking barber house calls on the front porch for weeks in MD.

There is a salon open in Chicago. Just ask the Mayor how to get a trim and style.

We’re about to find out the hard way.

“A heavy price for personal vanity.”

Really? Perhaps if you have some underlying medical condition. Covid is demonstrating itself to be highly contagious, yet mild to non-existent symptoms for most.

Stay stuck in your hole then and hide from the world. Such cowardice on parade. I need a haircut!

Here is someone with courage, pay attention!

I know it’s probably hyperbole, but there are no corn fields in Iowa right now. Some pre-planting prep is done but nobody has planted corn yet and it definitely is not growing yet.

I really hope this is a joke. You can't be this stupid.

America has become a risk-averse country, thanks to lawyers, politicians and the insurance industry.

Those who would trade a little liberty for security get neither.
