WTF? Is he series? OMG! What a fookin' idjit. Come on MD you gotta do better than this. Then again I'm in nevaDUH so I don't have much room to talk. Except our POS gov is an admitted dem. Larry should try it. Much dumbassery............

[puppypusher]

Notice the Rat didn’t mention the right to an abortion in that statement?Wel it’s my body and I’ll do what I want.The government can keep their hands off of my body. It’s my choice to take the risk of getting the illness or not. Not the governments.

"Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said during a press conference that not wearing a mask while being out in public is like driving while drunk and there is no Constitutional right to do either of those things."

Another asinine opinion from the very reason we have a constitution that puts chains on government. To keep mischievous clowns like Hogan in those very chains.

Constitution enumerates what government can and cannot do. Not that government is free to imply powers if the constitution is silent.

It's called... "Rule of Law."

The constitution LIMITS government from assuming powers it does not specifically grant. And it has NO SUCH POWER to limit individual liberty, commerce or social freedoms because of a threat from a virus! NOWHERE is government given such power.

Does government possess the power to stop ALL modes of travel because it deems travel a health risk because of the possibility of accidents and deaths?

Does government possess the power to stop ALL manufacture of cigarettes/drugs/alcohol/hamburgers/candy because it deems all a health risk because of the possibility of deaths caused by cancer, obesity, diabetes, kidney/heart disease, and drug abuse?

NO! Because government CAN'T impose restrictions upon the liberty, commerce, free movement and social interaction made by individual free will/choice.

Stupid choices, behavior and lifestyles that cause premature/unintentional or accidental deaths is none of government damn business nor is government empowered to interfere.

Government isn't mommy. Governments role is to defend/protect/apply the rule of law. And that government exists to serve on our behalf with the primary duty and responsibility to DEFEND our way of life! Not constrain it, interfere with it, provide for it, or redistribute it. And that it will act ONLY on our behalf as guardians of our security, life and liberty, THAT IS IT!

And it is to STAY THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY and leave us alone!

FO' Hogan... you are WAY out of line and should be recalled for your jack-ass opinion and failure to adhere to your oath of office! You are an employee that has been entrusted with borrowed power to carry out the duties and responsibilities under the rule-of-law of AN OFFICE! You ARE NOT that office, you are merely an agent of that office and must answer to the people who own it!

[BookmanTheJanitor]

One question, Larry...do masks even work?

[Southside_Chicago_Republican]

I think we can agree that a lot of our elected officials are not grounded in principles and are not the sharpest knives in the drawer. That goes a long way toward explaining why we are where we are.

[longtermmemmory]

if government can force your body to have a mask, how is it government can not enforce laws about abortion.

It seems roe v wade is antimask.

if masks are a legal regulation, then abortion falls.

thoughts for feminists.

[Re-electNobody]

Gotta hand it to Hogan- calling out Gavin Newsome (restaurant), Nancy Pelosi (hair appointment), even Anthony Fauci (baseball game), not to mention hundreds of protestors. Probably some other hypocrites I cannot recall at the moment.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

And if certain rumors are true, not wearing a mask is like preying on underage people.

And as far as I know, there weren’t these comprehensive statewide mask mandates in 1918. There was one briefly in the city of San Francisco, but an ad hoc “Anti-Mask Brigade” got a petition going to repeal the mandate. The mayor, fearing for his job, swiftly got the repeal done.

[Skybird]

Hogan should be wearing a clown mask or paper bag over his head.

Control!!!!!

"Well, it's sort of like saying, 'I have a Constitutional right to drive drunk. I have a Constitutional right to not wear a seatbelt,' or to yell 'fire' in a crowded movie theatre or to not follow the speed limit." (says Larry Hogan)

Dear Mr. Hogan,

I do have a U.S. Constitutional right to do all those things!

I also have a right to say "Shut the -- up, Mr. Hogan!"

Sincerely,

Not Your Lackey

Further evidence that being a Republican is being a member of The Stupid Party. How do these assholes get elected?

I called his office and asked for the citation of exactly where in the Constitution he found that little penumbra.

Then I suggested he resign.

He secretly bought $9 million worth of faulty test kits from South Korea. His wife made the deal and they flew them over in charter 747’s. The tests were immediately locked up. Then we found out the tests weren’t FDA approved. Then we would out they had no swabs or reagent rendering them worthless. Then Larry Hogan secretly swapped them out for better ones for only $2-3 more each ($1,500,000)

Today, his wife gets a major award from South Korea for all of their subterfuge
