“It’s a Free Country, Brother”
At least for now.

It’s a whole lot LESS free than it was a month ago...

"In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time, we have been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. But if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price." --Ronald Reagan

Partner, President Ronald Wilson Reagan was one of the greatest POTUS's that our country ever had.

This China Wuhan virus is nothing compared to the deaths we have had from the flu this season and nothing compared to the previous seasons we have had with the flu.

We have allowed the government to control our lives and this is not what our Founding Fathers wanted for "We the People". We certainly did not want Fauci and Birx controlling our lives, which they are right now and these two (2) voted for the DemonRat party.

Like the Great President Ronald Wilson Reagan said we can not allow the government to control our lives, period.

The sad part is that the DemonRat party sounds like they do not have any solutions. They do not like President Trump just like they did not like President Ronald Wilson Reagan.

If you believe 44,000 you’re a useful idiot.

Hide in your home and leave us alone pussy.

What's left of it.

“ What do they think would be left if we remain shut down for eighteen months?”

Communism.

Here is one of the reasons Mr. Hanson is such a treasure. Thanks JR for posting this.

"Authoritarians and petty fascists, eager to issue endless edicts, molt their exoskeletons, as if under their chrysalis suits they were always caudillos, waiting to be reborn with sunglasses and epaulettes."

I think the solution to all this is simple.

All freedom loving conservative types, regardless of their political affiliation (yes; even the 10-15 dems who still think that way), should be free to go about their business and indeed open up their businesses as they see fit.

All others should shelter in place for the next 2 years and not vote at all.

After 2 years teams should be sent in to collect and bury the desiccated bodies of those who sheltered in place thinking it would somehow save them. At least they died knowing they were “safe”.... or something.

Absolutely.

VDH bump for later.....

[Flick Lives]

In these strange times, American individualism and the Bill of Rights that birthed it are still proving, for a while longer, too strong for the natural forces of fascism masquerading as “we had to destroy freedom to save it.”

A great VDH essay, as always.

‘I’m not worried about the country’s freedoms.’

we can see that, Danny, but don’t worry, you’ll get your wish; the country will be essentially shut down till autumn, and lots of people will have entirely lost their livelihoods...

[IrishBrigade]

‘Here is one of the reasons Mr. Hanson is such a treasure.’

damn, that was a good quote...

[nesnah]

It’s fine to question it, but we now have 44,000 dead Americans WITH a lock down.

So, my FRiend, you’re absolutely, positively sure that 44,000 deaths attributed to the Corona virus were deaths that were indeed caused solely by the Corona virus?

If you’re dumb enough to believe that shit, I have some ocean-front property I’d like to sell you. It’s just outside of Reno.
