That the German love of government hasn’t changed much over time.

41% of COVID deaths in the US are from nursing homes, whose population makes of less than 1% of the US’s total population.

Liberals send COVID-positive infected people into nursing homes in the US. Germany doesn’t. That is a huge reason Germany has fewer deaths.

They don’t have our liberal mass-murderers in positions of power like we choose to.

No, it’s because of Democrats like Keith Humphreys suppressing news about successful treatments.

If I don’t agree with one or more of their STUPID RULES, I just IGNORE IT, I guess that could be considered a form of abuse.

Re the four countries Humphrey mentions, two are basically ISLANDS (Singapore and Taiwan, which means they can contain their population by simply not letting any planes fly (without testing each passenger). The same for ships. Nobody is going to swim away.

South Korea only borders on No. Korea so nobody is going there right now, and Korean society is pretty well organized. I saw this when I visited there in the 70’s.

As for Germany, I think it is a crapshoot. Are they seriously going to totally control 7 million Turks and other Moslems, esp. the militant ones? Doubt it. The good Turks/Moslems will obey government directives but the “Young Turk types” will give them the Hitler Seig Heil salute, the middle finger, and then do what they want to, including supporting ISIS, Al Qaeda, Erdogan the dictator, Assad the slaughterer, any anti-Israel groups, anti-Christian groups, and radical clerics/mosques.

Americans have paid a tremendous price for our freedom(s) and we intend to keep them. Our recent family included veterans (military and civilian) of Iwo Jima, CWS, VN, Kosovo/Gulf War I, and Operation Iraqi Freedom (fortunately with only one, WW II, getting wounded, 3 Purple Hearts).

We will not go quietly into the night. We will be Meatloaf’s “ Freedom Bats Out of Hell”.

Don’t you love how people state their opinions as fact?

What a BS premise.

If we truly loved our freedom, bodies of the left would be littered in the streets.

If we truely were as bad as they say we are, bodies of the left would be littering the streets... The Post can't have it both ways...

The “New Normal” is-The Green New Deal.

They’re trying so hard to usher in green guideline without one vote.

“During the Obama Administration, he spent a sabbatical year as Senior Policy Advisor at the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. He has also testified on numerous occasions in Parliament and advises multiple government agencies in the U.K.”

Explains a lot, eh?
