Enough Already: 'Governor, May I?' Must End
American Thinker.com ^ | December 3, 2020 | Peggy Ryan

Posted on 12/03/2020 7:56:50 AM PST by Kaslin

Where do these governors get the nerve to run point on a massive election fraud scheme? Actually, we the people are giving them this power. Though our Founders created a government by the people, we are allowing others to usurp that power, to take that power from us.

Enter the "pandemic," where state officials openly reject the Constitution and make government the ruling authority. We've allowed their tyranny, and now we're trapped in a sick game of "Governor May I" where we need the governor's permission for every move we make.

Restaurants

Governor: You may take two baby steps. Open your business at 50% capacity.

Governor: Yes, you may.

The People

Governor: You may take three baby steps. Gather in small groups; wear masks everywhere, even outdoors; and stay six feet apart at all times.

Citizens: Governor, may I?

Governor: Yes, you may.

This is a dangerous game, where government's and citizens' roles are reversed. The governor issues orders, and the people ask permission to carry out those orders. If they forget or neglect to get permission, they're hit with ridiculous fines or even jail.

Seems that Peggy hasn’t seen ‘mare’ garbagecetti of LA’s newest edict from yesterday. Twelve pages of BS at the following link for those that may have missed it:

If the Democrats can make you think that there are dead bodies everywhere from COVID, then they can make you believe that Biden received 80,000,000 votes.

Consent of the governed is so old fashioned.

If your unelected bureaucrats can take away your 1st Amendment right to express your opinion freely (telling you what to wear) then they can certainly abrogate your 2nd Amendment rights in the name of stopping the spread.

Masks are the equivalent of “El Presidente” telling everyone to wear their underwear on the outside.
- Woody Allen’s “Bannanas”, 1970.

So we can check.

Sadly, a majority actually want this. They’re too stupid to understand the scam, or the implications.

Civil disobedience is in order- but too many conservatives consider it rude.

The idea that some two bit politician can unilaterally declare an “emergency” and give himself unlimited power including suspension of the Constition is utterly preposterous.

Even more preposterous is that we just lie down and accept it!

If you want to protest, open your business. Don’t got protest at the Gov’s mansion. Just open up. If everyone just opens up, it’s over in a day.

But what about the fines? I saw a livestream of a Staten Island business owner who’s racked up over a million in fines. Because F you Cuomo.

I am becoming more convinced that a second American Revolution/civil war will be needed to restore our Constitutional rights. As we have seen our voting is being manipulated, those we send to Congress soon become corrupt and state governors quickly turn into petty tyrants. Sadly the American people have been brainwashed or just worn down to comply with these tyrannies. Will the people ever wake up and say enough is enough?

I have been open to the public (home based service business) from the start and I refuse to wear a mask when customers come in.
Most, seeing me with no mask say, “do I have to wear mine?” and I say, “Hell NO !” They take them off immediately and say thanks.

Yep and he is now so sorry to have done it.

snip
Austin Mayor Steve Adler (D) told The Hill in a statement that
he regretted the trip after the Austin American-Statesman reported
it on Wednesday.

“I regret this travel,” he said. “I wouldn’t travel now, didn’t
over Thanksgiving and won’t over Christmas.”

https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/528461-austin-mayor-regrets-vacation-to-mexico-where-he-filmed-video

“But my fear is that this travel, even having happened during a safer
period, could be used by some as justification for risky behavior,”
Adler said. “In hindsight, and even though it violated no order,
it set a bad example for which I apologize.”
