A Wednesday poll indicates 57 percent of Americans believe they have less personal freedom today than before the coronavirus pandemic.

The Trafalgar Group asked respondents, “Do you believe Americans have as much personal freedom today as we did before the COVID-19 [Chinese coronavirus] pandemic?”

Too many people in this country bowed down to Fauci and listened to these lockdown governors. Their fault.

Nobody could possibly think otherwise. Even the most radical leftist whose every opinion is approved of by the government must have to admit that he has less freedom of movement, if nothing else, than before.

The other 43% never leave their homes anyway, choosing instead to live vicariously through those “exciting people” on their computer screens.

I mean what kind of dictatorship is it when you have a media that spent 99% of the time bashing the Head of State?

RED HILL SCHOOL MASK POLICY
http://www.wnoi.com/onlinenews/wnoinews.exe?ID=42378

6/30/21

EXCERPTS:
The Red Hill school district has been put on probation for relaxing its mask guidance. If the district doesn’t change that, it could lead to the state closing the school. This, as a large schools association, pushes for the state’s COVID-19 guidelines to be in line with the governor’s reopening plan. State Rep. Adam Niemerg’s said the district made the masks optional going into the fall, then after hearing nothing from the ISBE the district received a letter placing them on probation. Niemerg said local taxpayers want local control of their schools.

State law says after a year of probation, if the school doesn’t comply with the state, the actions the state could take include closing the school.

57% think we have less freedom, but how many of those 57% mind and would actively fight to restore it?

We had less freedom earlier than that...when they started all this PC crap, the Marriage is no longer man and women, all this “whatever gender you think your are” crap, men in women’s bathrooms. All this crap came to fruition under and with the blessings of Obama and his bootlickers.

And 43% have apparently been in a coma for the past fifteen months. The levels of restrictions on personal freedoms have varied from State to State to the degree that it’s surprising no one has appealed to the Equal Protection Clause in the 14th Amendment. The governors of the States of New York and California in particular should be hauled off the Leavenworth.

Isn’t that the truth! I see people alone in their cars wearing masks. I want to ask them “WTF is the matter with you?”
