It really sucks when you can’t control people by threatening their lives. As I recall, our Founding Fathers pledged their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to our nation. Yay Christianity!
Another sick twisted illogical lying idiot leftist heard from.
Why should they surprise us that they actually know nothing whatsoever about real people and their beliefs.
Ah yes, Harvard, the “university” that sent a scientist to help the Chinese create viruses in Wuhan which the media still completely ignores.

A psychology professor who appears to have some “issues.” He’s not the first.
Solution: You can only possibly believe a Democrat when he has been tortured to the point of madness... The fear of agony MIGHT serve...
They do not believe in the protections of the Constitution for others, so why should they be permitted to hide behind them?

But there is fear in the human race. And it is the fear as that of an animal.
What about all the democrat governors actually locking people down with no authority to do so? Reality is not part of their vocabulary or thought process..
All religions since the beginning of time have had an afterlife of some sort. I guess his narrow view comes from having his head up his ass.
They give away all of their intentions...and too many refuse to listen.
P.S.
Another History lesson they forgot; Battle of Thermopylae.

And if to lazy to read about examples of Freedom in history, they can just watch the movie ‘300’ or ‘Braveheart’.
Being Christian teaches teaches us where our Freedom comes from.
But it isn’t the only way to learn about and appreciate Freedom.
I am 69, and a non-believer. I think the lockdown was one of the worst blunders in history. COVID-19 appears to be little more than a bad flu.
Live free or die. There are worse things than death.
