Boston mayor compares NYC’s vaccine mandate to slavery
NY Post ^ | August 4, 2021 | Joshua Rhett Miller

Posted on 08/04/2021 11:26:49 AM PDT by conservative98

The mayor of Boston said the city won’t be following New York’s lead requiring proof of vaccination at many indoor businesses, claiming the move is reminiscent of “slavery” and birtherism.

Acting Mayor Kim Janey — the first woman and black Bostonian to hold the office — said “there’s a long history” in the United States of people “needing to show their papers” when asked Tuesday about the mandate unveiled earlier in the day by Mayor Bill de Blasio that requires proof of vaccination to enter indoor restaurants, entertainment venues and gyms starting on Sept. 13.

“During slavery, post-slavery, as recent as, you know, what the immigrant population has to go through here, we’ve heard Trump with the birth certificate nonsense,” Janey told WCVB. “Here, we want to make sure that we are not doing anything that would further create a barrier for residents of Boston or disproportionally impact BIPOC communities.”

Nice.

If she tries to change her mind later, it may be difficult to back away from this position. If it’s like slavery, then it’s like slavery and would not suddenly become “okay” after Fauci calls her on the phone.

The Dems need to start screaming at each other:

“Show me your papers.”

“No. You show me your papers.”

“Diseased filth.”

“Racist.”

“Wait a minute—I know you are one of those clean blacks like Bidet said...”

“Have you been spying on me in the shower, pervert?”

That reminds me, where is Obama's birth certificate?

And while they're at it, how about his social security card cards?

Inquiring minds want to know.

“...reminiscent of “slavery” and birtherism.”

Everybody has a birth certificate. It’s a no brainer. A lost birth certificate can be replaced by going to the city’s birth record department for $5. No one born here should have a problem producing a birth certificate except Obama. Why? Because he was born in Mombasa. His grandma said so.

African-Americans are the least vaccinated group, I beleive. The MSM propaganda that that are MAGA folks is exactly wrong.

I think they will start digging up corpses in cemeteries to give them the jab—to “keep us safe”....

She's basically saying that forced vaccinations and requiring paperwork is akin to slavery and anti-illegal immigration policies.

Then when she was criticized, she stood her ground.

“What I said was there is a long history of asking people to show their papers,” Janey explained. “What our focus here in Boston is in making sure that everyone has access to the vaccine, making sure that we are doing everything to vaccinate our workforce in the city of Boston, making sure that our residents have access to the vaccine.”

Good for her. And the Trump reference effectively is a poison pill.

Sometimes, the other team shoots the puck in their own net, or the pitcher balks in a run. I'll take it.

“Birtherism” is the greatest Alinsky ever perpetrated. Those who use the term assist in the denigration of the Constitution
They have gotten the American people to reject one of the most valuable safeguards bequeathed to us by the founders.
The natural born citizen clause served us well until we allowed it to be ignored.
Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.

It does not matter if he was born in Hawaii if his father was a foreign national.
Children of foreign nationals inherit the nationality of their foreign national parent(s).
Natural born citizen means born here of citizen parents.
People born with divided loyalties, allegiance and citizenship are not naturally Americans.
The children of foreign nationals are precisely who the founders were excluding from the office.
Only when one cannot be anything else can one be a natural born citizen.

No foreign birth.
No foreign parent(s)
No foreign citizenship(s)
No foreign influence on the Presidency is what John Jay stated in a letter to George Washington as the reason for insisting on a natural born citizen.

Obama told us he was born a British subject.

Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?

Who believes they would have thought the recently deceased King of Thailand was eligible to be President?
He was born in Cambridge MA.

Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Confuse people about the clear meaning of a three word phrase and voila, every anchor baby and Winston Churchill is eligible.

The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain that was used by the Democrats as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley, George P. Bush and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible.

The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because both parties cooperated in the violation of the Constitution
