To Mask or Not to Mask
Pennsylvania House GOP ^ | 2 July A.D. 2020 | Rep. Mike Jones

Posted on 07/02/2020 12:16:11 PM PDT by lightman

I am not opposed to an individual choosing to wear or not wear a mask (there are legitimate arguments and concerns on both sides of the issue) or a business choosing to require or not require them. I am opposed to overreaching “mandates” from unelected bureaucrats who think they should dictate to people and businesses how they live and operate.

This is a democracy not a dictatorship. The government answers to you, not the other way around. As such, in these unprecedented times of government abuse of power, I encourage you to make the decisions you feel are appropriate for you and your family.

Freedom is not free. Stand up for your freedom and liberty that so many fought and died for. Do not dishonor them by living in fear of toothless lions in Harrisburg.

Dems like fauci and say he is doing a good job. On the other hand they also say Trump has been doing an awful job.
Trouble is Trump has been doing what this clueless turd has been saying.
So Fauci good, Trump bad and no it does not make any sense, but when did the left ever make any sense in the last few years>

That almost sounds like wishful thinking in your part

If 2 million die by then then a large chunk of China had damn well better be removed from the face of the earth forever

If Dementia Joe wins the flu strain suddenly goes away

Exactly. There won't be any announcement as such - they'll just go on to other topics and most people will just forget.

Yeah, except the argument lost steam when he said “we’re a democracy”. No we are not that is what the democrats want you to think. We have a republican form of governance, constitutional republic, or representative .

I resent being told to wear a mask, but like you I won’t mask shame someone for choosing to wear one. There are people who are at elevated risk and are legitimately concerned.

Independent thinkers should always do what is right by them. Too much in the way of entangling politics becomes a problem that can prevent a good outcome. I try to do what I see as correct for me, and never as a political message.

Submission is submission. Doesn’t matter how you try to polish that turd. Hope you wore your mask with pride! Did it say “Please don’t hurt me! I’m just a scared little girl!” No wonder we keep losing. Our side is too fat, soft and lazy to fight for right.

This is Why
People will Die
```

Every one dies
At some point

Every one will get the virus
At some point

Every one got all the other viruses
At some point

Why would this one be any different?

What a good little fascist you are! You don’t know the facts yet you attempt to silence anyone who disagrees with your god government. Are you sure that you are on the correct website? We believe in freedom and liberty here. Not in fascist bully boy wanna be politicians.

‘You don’t know the facts yet you attempt to silence anyone who disagrees with your god government.’

he’s worse than that; he wants to imprison someone for not wearing a mask and have it on their permanent record...

I was at Lowe’s today (Charlotte) and everybody was wearing a mask except me and another guy that I spotted.

Dems like fauci and say he is doing a good job. On the other hand they also say Trump has been doing an awful job.

... plus I heard an ad where they were accusing him of ignoring Dr. Fauci (which is a blatant lie).

They are absolutely desperate and are pulling out every imaginable stop to win this election. Go to YouTube and you’ll find nothing but anti-Trump LIES playing before almost everything you click on - all from people pretending to “once” be Trump supporters, but now supposedly soured on him because “he’s damaging the family farmer!” or whatever. None of them mention Biden - as if there’s absolutely NOTHING about that senile POS that the democrats can even find to crow about.

I highly doubt all those liberal protesters asked themselves if they should or should not mask.

“It has been proven mathematically”

No, it has not. total BS. Even the CDC disagrees with your opinion.

“600 deaths in entire country yesterday”

Nonsense. Go put your hand on each and every one of those 600. They don’t exist. The numbers have been fabricated since day one.

So predictable. and did anyone else notice that not one media outlet condemned the rioters, looters and protestors for not social distancing and not wearing a mask
