Freedom in a democratic society depends on limits.
All this about "freedom" from the guy who was part of a management team that wanted to force-relocate New Republic staff from NY to D.C.
Freedom in a democratic society depends on limits.
_____________________________________________________
...and limits on government overreach were amongst the most important.
The New Republic has been at the vanguard of trying to socialize the country with Left wing tyranny.
They have a lot of nerve to lament the red-blue divide they helped create.
These commies wouldn’t know science and the truth if it bit em on the ass.
The left is wrong to blame this on red state politics. The overwhelming predictor of vaccination is wealth. Rich people get vaccinated poor people don’t.
There are a lot of poor people in red states, but it’s not them who vote Republican.
the science shows that sociopathic
liars like this do better after their own lobotomy.

As usual, a leftist is incapable of properly analyzing a problem. There is a blue-red divide divide because people are on the right are anti-scientism. We do not believe in a pseudo-science religion and follow their high-priest, Antony FauxChi. We look at hard facts and know that wearing face diapers for extended times is actually unhealthy and does not prevent the spread of the CCP virus. We know that slowing the spread extends the period of time to reach herd immunity. We know that government forced shut downs were a political hit job in an election year. We know that many elements of the US Government illegally worked with the CCP in gain of function research, which has one purpose only. That is to weaponize a virus. We have seen how Marxists governors and transsexual health secretaries murdered thousands in old-age homes. All of this in the name of scientism. I could go on, but the bottom line is simple. If you sacrifice freedom for safety, you will have neither. That has been proven beyond a doubt.
There is so much wrong with this article that it’s difficult to know where to begin and end. So I will limit myself to one specific premise in this: “Incredibly, the right has now established the “principle” that people can engage in potentially harmful action without any expectation there will be consequences. Indeed, with the conviction that consequences are tyranny. Where does this end?”
I’m not sure where it ends but I can say with “conviction” where it began. It began with the sexual revolution and celebrating it. It began with advocating the destruction of inhibitions established over eons of human development. It began with making abortion a rite of the new Me religion. It began with holding groups to a different standard of behavior, depending on skin color. It began with pushing to let dangerous criminals walk the streets again without reforming them. It began with letting every person define their own morality and celebrating it. It began with denying science or deforming science to meet the needs of an interest group. It began with justifying different standards of justice depending on skin color and political leanings. In other words, the right didn’t change society, the left did and continues to do so. Physician, heal thyself.
It was “science” that brought about this pandemic. The removal of Christ from our universities and especially anything “science” will introduce to ghe world millions of Dr. Mengelas, or Faucis.
I don’t accept - and WILL NOT TAKE ANY CRAP FROM - someone who runs around screaming “Science!” AND who also believes men can get pregnant!
You cannot be more anti-science and anti-reality than homosexual and transgender activists.
Now add people running around in masks. The other day I saw a young girl (teen) walking around the block in our semi-rural neighborhood, by herself, WEARING A MASK!
Liberals are insane!
Actually freedom depends on the discipline and morality of the people.
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
John Adams
Failing that, the country is ungovernable and tyranny inevitable.
I’ll bet it’s terrifying to you Michael Tomasky, for there is a real potential that red states may be the only ones standing in the end.
The point of this column is to denounce them. \\\
How commie is that ?
Did that tactic come straight
from your little red book ?,
or did an academic feed it to you ?
Mr Michael Tomasky is perhaps too stupid to understand that science is all about evidence, not what he wants or the government claims.
The evidence is now available that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are dangerous for young men, and they probably shouldn’t take them at all.
And who get to pick the scientists?
The writer is dreaming and probably so nutty, that he. 87.6 % of people over 65 years of age have received at least one shot—probably mostly Republicans. 66% of people over 18 years of age, many of them Democrats.
Some feminists during the ‘90s said that “the personal is political,” and other Democrats continue to follow them to their political doom. People eventually tire of nasty politics and shun those who push it too far.
“ Are we really going to have to go into a lockdown again because nearly half the country is so consumed by ideology-driven hatred of the other half that they’d literally rather see loved ones die than go get a simple shot?”
Ridiculous statement. Ignorant author. Laugh at people like this and shut them down.
Covid vaccines are Not a Blue vs Red issue.
Once again the Left attempts to divide us as they want.
There are plenty of people here on FreeRepublic who’s Conservative credentials are very clear.
Those same people, some are for and some are against the Covid vaccines.
I know Liberals (Blue to their core) that are against Covid vaccines.
They follow all the same information Conservatives do who are anti-Covid vaccines.
It’s not so clear cut as being for or against Covid vaccines doesn’t split down party lines. But the Leftist want you to think so.
Who gives AF about the goings-on at a failed leftist rag? “Oh look... a dumb lefty jackass said something dumb.”
Being that you practically live here now, do you ever post anything useful?
