Damn. You're right, I keep forgetting that. Thanks for the reminder! :-)
Actually, I am not by any means a defeatist by nature — which is precisely why I find myself demoralized just now.
And I’ll tell you exactly why.
Your observations about the polling numbers are quite accurate. I’m a retired newspaper reporter/editor — I’ve seen enough polls to know they’re just fodder for some easy headlines.
No, what bothers me to no end is the public response to the Wu flu epidemic.
Masks don’t work. And I have the data. I don’t pull my opinions out of thin air. Prof. Denis Rancourt, retired from the University of Ottawa, did an extensive paper on the general uselessness of masks, reviewing data from many previous studies. You can find links on the Ontario Civil Liberties Association web site.
Yet I see more and more of my fellow citizens scurrying about in their little face diapers, scared out of their wits over a flu bug that’s dangerous only to a limited, mostly elderly, population.
I’ve spent a lifetime studying the political left, and I consider myself well armored against their lies.
But when I see most of my fellow citizens willing to be herded like livestock — that’s some pretty strong evidence right there that the mainstream Marxist media still carries a lot of clout.
I wish it wasn’t so. But I’m now getting the sick feeling that our nation is too ignorant to endure.
Would not surprise me, but by then it would be waaay too late for it to have an effect other than to make people vote for Trump...............
