Pandemics come and go.
Economies go up and down.

But a police state can stay with you for decades. That’s the danger. Whatever else happens, we should always choose Liberty. We certainly didn’t this time.

Yet police do come and go: The ending of the “Iron Curtain” in 1989.

It’s frightening to see how quickly people took this up, turned into snitches and all of a sudden the new virtue-signaling became gushing about how you were “protecting the vulnerable” by giving up your rights and freedoms and letting your every move be dictated by an out of control government.

Even here on FR, there is a whole contingent that rushes forward to scream that people who want the economy reopened and our freedoms back really want to kill granny and have blood on their hands for going to the beach.

And this is exactly what will happen when the Dems get back in the WH (and probably will also have a majority in both houses) and announce their permanent lockdown because “climate change.” People should be prepared to fight back now; this virus tyranny caught us by surprise, but we know what they’re planning after November.

The virus will come and go. But the government will NEVER forget how easy it was to take control of your life. As Milton Friedman once said, “Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government measure.”

“Whatever else happens, we should always choose Liberty.”

Yes.

just look at the fearpers......actually wishing to KILL teenagers at a beach who were out living their lives instead of sulking in their bedrooms......threatening other fearpers and hope they get the virus....

we've lost the battle if we have posters like that on a conservative board.....

I've always said that when it comes to the leftist "orders" our cops and military will fall in line like Nazis......

its called a pension...

Think of the liberties we lost after 911. The Patriot Act. Then NDAA which basically gives the President unlimited powers during a national emergency. The state and local governments are always happy to one up the Feds on tyranny. These acts of tyranny at the local level are more concerning and we should all be pushing back on these people in the aftermath. You are totally right about this.
