Not Americans.

Liberals are scaring themselves to death.
Liberals are not Americans, in what America means. They want a Europeanized America, something anathema to the Constitution.

Liberalism is contagious. So is Covid insanity.

Liberals are hypnotized zombies who have no minds of their own.

A voo doo curse only works if you believe it will.. If you believe that most people getting covid are seriously ill or die, maybe folks have died because they believed they would.

Coronaphobia! Thanks to the administration (this one and the last one), the lame stream media have foisted this upon people. In our area people are getting panicky if the “testing staions” are closed. Why are you getting tested? Do you have symptoms? Do you “just ‘need’ to know”? We have never feared this and are not likely to. The evidence of the damage done and the deleterious side effects of the vax keep growing daily. What do most folks hear and believe? “’Rare!’. ‘Safe and effective guaranteed’”. Uh, no. Unsafe, INeffective, guartantees don’t matter when the makers are protected from law suites since everything being dispensed is under the EUA. People must not know anything about “rna”. They need to look it up. And, you can NOT get unvaccinated. Remaining “NON GMO”.

People without hope (i.e. Godless people) always have two big fears: the future and death. Those two fears direct every decision they make. Scared people look for protection; that’s why we saw so many immediately jump on lockdowns, social distancing, school closures, unending masking, and vaccine mandates. They also feel the need to virtue signal in large groups. (Remember all the “I Got My Covid Vaccine” posts/pictures on Facebook?) Fear is powerful, and Godless people, while they’ll never admit it, are the most susceptible.

Not everyone.
The narrative is crumbling.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Ship ‘em all to Red China so they’ll be in their paradise.

“ It is the idea that freedom does not come from the government, Fauci or the CDC; freedom comes from the creator. ”

This is a very important point. Human life also comes from the Creator, who made us in His image and likeness. The reason it was so easy to panic people, especially liberals, is simply that they do not believe in God. And this includes the churches that were so ready to shut down and go along with this hysteria.

To them, we are wisps of protoplasm not made in the image and likeness of anything, life is meaningless, nobody cares, and all that matters is to exist as long as you can. Our only value comes from the state, which defines what is right and what is wrong, and decides who gets to keep on existing and who doesn’t, depending on their utility to the government.

Notice that the folks in government obviously realize that the panic is a joke, since they are always being photographed violating all the rules they set for others. And because being in government now is like being part of the new “God,” they were fine with the situation. The lust for power, especially over life and death, good and evil, was the sin of the fallen angels, and in a lot of ways, is mankind’s original sin.

At the heart of all this Covid panic is a spiritual crisis.

-— “Liberals are scaring themselves to death.”

This Christmas season past, I made the observation to various people that the message “fear not” has been effectively replaced with “fear.”

It is something to consider, as the belief in the State is replacing belief in “fear not?”

Some people get a thrill out of being scared of ANYTHING! My mother-in-law, brother-in-law and sister-in-law were such people.

Thankfully that silliness did not affect my wife or her other brother.

It’s not just liberals. I attend a very conservative church in the rural Midwest, and about 1/4 of our congregation still wears the masks. Some had stopped wearing them a few months ago, and then they bought into the Omicron propaganda and threw the masks back on.

Nothing new here at all, really.

Democrats have been scaring up votes by frightening people — particularly women, minorities and the elderly — for decades.

It’s their thing. It’s what they do.

I guess I have it. Seems like a cold I had when I was a little kid and still had to go to school. I’m over 60 and had a bad flu a few years ago, that hurt my lungs, so I am taking care of myself, but GIVE ME A BREAK. We need to go after China/Fazi, etc.

Here in Trump-country rural Illinois the compliance rate in stores is down to 50% or less most of the time. I was somewhere recently where I was the only one without the Mask of Compliance and no one said a word. If they do my answer will be that I have a medical condition called Liberalphobia that prevents me from wearing one. Walmart workers often have their useless cloth face-diapers pulled halfway down.

Mask-wearers are either old and scared of dying from the flu or self-identified democrats.

It’s the atheists who are in a panic. They believe death is the end, so there is nothing as frightful as dying.

Ever been to an atheist’s funeral? What do you say? She/he/it is in a better place?

Oops, that doesn’t fit.
