There have been many other heroes as well.

Here is a partial list of Pennsylvania patriots:

Our Constitution has no written legal safeguards against the government overstepping its bounds in the name of public health

Sure it does. Start with the Bill of Rights, #1. Then go to number #4. Then #5. Then #6. Then maybe #8. Then #9 and #10.

It’s still fascinating to me that no one - not one reporter, leader, analyst of any sort has referenced the events both medicinal and legal of the Swine Flu pandemic of 1918 which seems to me a perfect parallel of what we’re seeing now from the spread of the virus.

And yet... our leadership makes no legal reference to the actions taken then. Our medical science (on which much of our hygiene laws are actually based!) seems ignorant.

Lockdowns and mask mandates DID occur back in 1918 - but there doesn’t seem to be a corollary attempt to invoke those laws in the same fashion.

Instead we have this totalitarian oppression (as well as a race war).

There are no SMART people in office except for conniving politicians who are stealing power.

When they got away with the lockdowns because of the Chinavirus crap, it was their biggest wet dream come true. They sent the world running for home just as Mommy Nation demanded. They got what they wanted in spades and it was their dream come true. The One World Government off and running. Just as the Bible said over 2,500 years ago by the Prophet Daniel. The truth of Scripture coming true. The liberals/commies/socialists/homos/oneworlders got what they wanted. A world scared of their own shadows and give me safety and peace and I will give up all my individual GOD given rights!!! Yup, they got more than they bargained for. They won.

The lockdowns over the kungflu are like the “boy who cried wolf”. If, God forbid, we have a real high mortality epidemic, who will believe it at first?

Let’s hope that is wrong. A lot of people were/are fooled. Now, not so much.
We know we were lied to and manipulated.
It won’t be so easy again.

I HOPE.

On the plus side, if you believe in centralized data collection, all flu viruses are now rapidly going extinct.

(If they had seen America today, they might have decided to write an anti-lockdown amendment and skip the one about not quartering troops in private homes.)

Had to chuckle at that one - he's right, of course.

Finally, and most concerning, the cultural precedent cannot be undone. We have embraced a neurotically death-averse attitude that would have been utterly foreign to previous generations [...] These social and philosophical trends will be even harder to dislodge than any legal precedent.

Frighteningly true!

“Lockdowns Are Here Forever”?
Here in Florida I have gone about my regular schedule for the last year. Gone to restaurants, bars, the beach and shopped and other than having to wear a mask have not been bothered,
Hey all you locked up folks in say Michigan, or N.Y., come on down for a good time.
