Let Our People Go
Townhall.com ^ | November 22, 2021 | Terry Paulson

Doesn't anyone on the inside of the White House have the guts to tell the emperor that he has no clothes? With Christmas coming, is there any hope that the ghost of the Christmas future will show the man the nightmare he is creating? Where is Moses when you need someone to plead for his people? That's what America needs right now, someone to shout until resident Biden hears - "LET OUR PEOPLE GO!"

In fact, if Ben Franklin had gotten his way, the Great Seal of the United States would have featured Moses leading his people through the Red Sea and away from tyranny instead of a bald eagle. Moses was admired by the Puritans and the revolutionaries who fought for independence. Our forefathers were tired of big government treading on the freedom of individuals. Our republic was not formed to make bigger government but to ensure freedom from government overreach to all its citizens.

That same call for freedom from government overreach is once again driving many to fight the mandates and government control. As a result, more and more citizens are disregarding the mandates. They are refusing to close their businesses, get vaccinated, or even wear masks. Why? Because instead of selling citizens on taking responsible actions and pandemic precautions, Democrats have tried the force of law to impose their will.

There is enough evidence around the world that heavy-handed mandates and government restrictions are unnecessary. Sweden has never locked down their citizens nor required masks or vaccines, Sweden's COVID results are better that our own in the US. With accurate information and access, their leaders trust their own people to take care of themselves.

There is no perfect plan to control the pandemic. Yes, some people will die from COVID-19. People die from a number of diseases and causes. Any death is tragic, but death comes to us all. Life has been and will always have risk. Even with vaccination or natural immunity, COVID will be with us, and it will take a toll. Like the flu, regular booster shots will be advised. We don't need to fire people who aren't getting vaccinated. If vaccines and booster shots prove to be successful, more will follow suit.

Stop pretending that Americans cannot resume some sense of normalcy. We see thousands attend sporting events without masks. If they were "super spreader" events, we would know it. If masks and social distancing are unnecessary for shouting fans, they may also be unnecessary for everyday life. Let our people go!

After two years, our citizens know what to do. They know how to use masks as needed. They know to stay home if they have symptoms or are highly vulnerable to infection. Social distancing and fist bumps are common practice in public settings. More and More are vaccinated or have natural immunity every day. Stop getting in the way of your people being responsible for their own health. They don't need your maddening mandates to do what is wise!

If you are not smart enough to realize that your authoritarian controls are overkill, know that if you keep it up, you're ensuring Democrats will suffer an unprecedented beating in the midterm elections. Many of your politicians are waking up to that reality, and they are scared to death. Citizens are furious about your progressive policies, your dependency-inducing entitlements, and the inflation, federal debt, and high taxes they are creating.

By trying to force freedom-loving Americans into a socialist mold, you are playing with fire. By stealing from the responsible to coddle the dependent, you threaten the American Dream for those who have not yet achieved it. Socialism has never worked. Free-enterprise capitalism may be imperfect and produce unequal results, but it has created the greatest economy in the world. This is a country that immigrants wait years to enter, or do so even illegally. They know how special America is. Don't kill it with your unworkable progressive transformation.

Your inflationary policies, energy pipedreams, and open borders are infuriating more and more Americans. They see the rising prices on gas and other essentials. They see the millions of illegals encouraged to disregard our border and being sent throughout America.

It's time to renew our faith in every American. Stop the stimulus checks. Secure our border to illegal immigration. Free citizens to start their own small companies without excess regulations and taxes. Believe in their ability to use their gifts to succeed. Instead of assuming that they're so incompetent that they need government to establish a "living wage," start believing that they can earn a living wage on their own. Americans don't want to take from their rich neighbors; they want to be free to become rich themselves!

Do we have to elect a Moses, or are you ready to actually lead us into a revitalized American promised land? Yes, let our people go or expect to be defeated by a candidate who will.

Weekend of looting, death and destruction, murder, due to communist invective. Media Marxism and anti-white racist messaging from Brandon junta - Brandon throws gasoline on the fire too rather than condemning the lawlessness. It is here. This is the way Lenin did it.

…but, don’t forget the illegals.

One cannot discuss COVID hysteria without mentioning the illegals allowed in.

They're not scared enough ... yet ... but it's coming. A reckoning is coming ... and I pray to God that it does ... soon.

Those around Biden look around the world and conclude they have no choice but to act. Their problem is that there is no action that will produce a favorable decrease in Covid proliferation.

Attempting to produce a mandate is the only way forward. They must act

There is no exit from their Catch 22 dilemma

If a single country moves into the Retribution phase, I predict others will quickly follow. We will be living in interesting times, for sure.

As long as we keep re-electing Assistant Democrats, the Democrats will keep destroying America with their assistance.

The old Soviet Union, North Korea, and China all have “elections” and they are set up so that only the ruling party wins.

The United States also have elections but the Democrats have been rigging the election (with the help of the media) so that only one party wins.

How many know that California has so rigged the primaries that only Democrats appear on the general election? They have rigged the system.

Fortunately we still have some states that are not under Democrat control and so it will be possible to remove the Democrats from power at the federal level but that still leaves most large states under the control of Democrats.

Real election reform is our only hope.

Start with the voting rolls. Purge them all, in fact start over. No ID then you can not register (when I renewed my California drivers license I had to have five different items of proof I am who I say I am, so the system is in place already).

No more mail in ballot. I no longer care if you are not home at the time of the election. Mail in ballots are subject to too much mischief.

Voter fraud to be a felony.

All ballots to be numbered, every ballot is to be traced from being issued to their return. Any missing or additional ballots and the person in charge face felony voter fraud.

All ballots counted in public being recorded the entire time.

Any “lost” ballots and then “found” will be treated as voter fraud.

Any illegal alien voting faces mandatory prison followed by deportation never to be allowed entry again. If they return automatic prison.

We may discover that the Democrats are not the majority.

Benjamin Franklin wanted the turkey to be the national bird, instead of the bald eagle.

If that had happened, we wouldn't worry so much about ill eagles.
