It must suck to be told by the government you can’t make it on your own.
That would be depressing.

Leftist encroachment is actually the public health crisis.

[[It must suck to be told by the government you can’t make it on your own]]

Exactly- you’d think that independent folks would be insulted by this crap- but apparently a lot aren’t?

what would they think if states would declare liberalism as a ‘public health crisis’?

So what’s the deal here? Racism is a public health crisis? So then, what do we do? Do members of racial or ethnic minorities get Medicaid coverage, whether they otherwise qualify? Do they get health insurance upgrades, healthcare upgrades, because their health has suffered, because by definition, victims of racism have worse health than the rest of us??

I’m sure people smarter than me, such as Democrats, have this all figured out. (sarcasm)

Irony considering the Virginia Constitution of 1902 undermined the 15th amendment through poll taxes and literacy requirements.

And no less than Senator Harry Burd Sr sought to undermine Brown v. Board 1954, organized to shut down public schools rather than integrate them.

Virginia congressman Howard W. Smith was also a dick who even though he knew Black people did not respect their race, because he was a bigoted, racist, A-hole.

Oh, it gets worse.

Even after Kennedy was assassinated and Lyndon Johnson, another bigoted A-hole, declared The Civil Rights Act should be passed, Mr. Dick head, Howard Smith, refused to let the Act be debated.

There are many other instances of Virginian treachery toward their fellow man but, I ain’t got time to name em all, y’all

I’ve been to virginia. Used to have to go there to work. I have NOTHING nice to say about the people there. So... I’ll leave it at that. Don’t go to virginia, drive around virginia, don’t marry anyone from virginia, don’t let your kids marry anyone from virginia, don’t do business with anyone from virginia. virginia elected a guy as governor who pretends to be a doctor, but in “reality” is just a “murderer of children”. The man kills babies for pities sake. AND, he is their “standard”! I don’t miss virginia or it’s people and I am glad that I don’t have any reason to go back there anymore.

Statue of Harry F. Byrd Sr. removed. Health crisis ended.
Statue of Robert E. Lee removed. Civil War erased from memory.
Statue of Thomas Jefferson will be removed. US Constitution rendered invalid.

What a silly rant. A lot of the friendliest, most generous, most Christian, and most conservative people you could ever meet are Virginians. The majority of the state is very similar still to the rest of the upper South. There were several counties where Trump won over 80% of the vote.

Most of the people who voted for the Dems are newcomers spilling over from the DC cesspool. VA would still be a solid conservative state without the leftist, big government nightmare of Northern Virginia. Sure there are some other bad areas but that’s the same with most states.

Virginia’s about as good as it gets as a place to visit for US history, so the idea of avoiding it is silly, and a lot of the nature there is gorgeous. There are many states more worthy of avoidance than Virginia. Virginia was one of the best ones until the DC leftist takeover. Sorry you had some bad personal experiences, but this vague but pretty hate-filled rant of yours isn’t worthy of a Free Republic post.

I live in northern Virginia and two of my black neighbors are fat! Health crisis! And another has high blood pressure! Health crisis!

However, my Asian wife is in perfect health. White adjacent!

When the left can and does call anyone and everyone a racist for no reason at all then they can make anyone a racist under those laws.

Nope, I’m not going to jail or prison for what someone lies and says I am.

Lock and load.

A well armed society is a very polite society. If they know you are armed they should be a little slower to lie and say you are a racist. The immediate consequences of their lies may be a bit more of a price then they are willing to pay.

I would rather go down for shooting the liar than for a BS thought crime based on their lies.

It is easy for the left to lie about the right. They do it all the time with absolutely no consequences.

Some folks need to be careful what they wish for.

Yep. As Savage says, "Liberalism is a mental disorder."
