Years before becoming senior editor of National Review, James Burnham wrote a book titled The Machiavellians (1943). Consistent with Machiavelli, the work studies not how things should be, but how they really are: Burnham reduced all political relationships to power. Governments — without exception — exert power against those whom they rule. Seeming humanitarian words disguise the real intent of the rulers. Only by resisting can the people exert power against the government. This must be done in order to protect freedom.

So ignoring simple sensible acts like keeping a distance and wearing a mask when in public spaces is now somehow a noble resistance?
The idiocy has reached a pathologic level.
Pretty obvious over this weekend most at the beaches or near waterways weren’t wearing masks.....yes, maybe some will get ill and some won’t. Still...Freedom rings in the USA!
Behaving in ways inconsistent with previous viral outbreaks when a new virus appears which demonstrates no significantly increased mortality is not sensible. Mandating economic crushing and mental health destroying public policies is not only nonsensical, it’s suicidal.
This is a big turning point , memorialday 2020
We got a hold of this thing on April 16 and so now it’s been far more than a month and if you look at the statistics the things dead and gone ! gone and may be gone gone!
I mean and that’s the thing if you look atSARS 1 and Ebola. west Nile and these other crazy viruses that have cropped up and completely eradicated never to come back again
This could very well be the case with this Covid 2 thing
And look there’s still gonna be H one and one around forever and a bunch of other coronaviruses And tuberculosis and a myriad of other viruses and bacteria so it’s not like all these things have gone away
It’s just that now I believe worldwide there’s been knowledge of the protocol of avoidance of the transmission of these things given to the people
And that is a good thing , especially for the poor people of the world
If these rich Hollywood weirdos want to do something good they could help distribute hand sanitizer and masks and knowledge of cleanliness and how did not transmit the virus to poor people
Yes, I keep having the same talk with my wife, and we are at an impasse on the virus. She just can’t see why any health care expert would lie or do this shut down if it wasn’t in our best interest. And that no governor would suspend civil liberties just because they can. And that it no one is purposely trying to keep churches closed.
She is right. I’m not a medical expert. But I do understand stats and numbers, and they are telling me we took our economy down over a nothing burger of a virus.
The numbers and stats are so varied now it’s impossible to discern who, if any are correct. After hearing the Health Director in my state was reporting nursing home deaths based on their residence, and the Coroners were reporting their deaths according to the assitence home they were in. It’s pretty easy that the counts were anything but accurate just in the death tolls.
It is Democraticidal! It is intentional .
