Thank you, Chicken-Little for your totally un-biased point of view. BE sure to blame anyone disagreeing with you as socialist, liberal, and un-Christian..
Not un-biased at all, Geo. My points of view about life and reality are the firmly held products of intelligence mixed with experience and a lot of courage. Like Johannes Kepler, I prefer the truth, however unpleasant or disappointing, to my dearest desires.
Truth, such as all these “–isms” - the liberal, socialist, communist, progressive, centralist, Marxist, radical – have been chewing at our country and way of life since their inception.
And these “-isms” inevitably fail after inflicting varying periods of untold misery on their victims: the Armenian genocide of 1915, the Soviet purges of the 1930s, Nazi Germany, China’s “Great Leap Forward”, Ugandan “independence” in the 1960s, the Cambodian genocide of the 1970s, Guatemalan genocide of 1983, Chechen and Yugoslavian and Rwandan ethnic cleansing in the 1990s, the destruction of Argentina, Cuba, Colombia, Venezuela.
Show me what improvement in the human condition, what raising of the individual human spirit, what
good has come to these places under these “-isms.” Show me where my point of view is in error.
Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Stalin, Hitler, Johnson, Saul Alinsky, Norman Davies, Cloward-Piven, Pol Pot, Mao, Castro, The Clintons, Obama, Schumer, Pelosi, “-ists” who by their documented deeds, not their duplicitous, disingenuous words, display their own imperious self-entitlement and cynical, egocentric condescension; their common loathing for America’s people and way of life.
Yes, Id say I have very biased, hard won and strongly held points of view. Show me where my points of view are in error.
Next, I don’t see any blame from me toward folks who disagree. No accusations of their being un-Christian. The only thing even remotely “religious” was the word Biblical, and that was in the quote from Buppert in ZeroGov. See the marks? They mean someone else is talking...
No, the adolescent, knee jerk defensiveness against a different point of view didn’t come from this direction…
This virus, no matter what your thoughts are on its origins, deployment, intent or virulence, has been politicized by the “-ists” and will be used to inflict even more draconian, Marxist control on an indoctrinated and increasingly complacent population.
The despots who have seized it, from strutting, incompetent little mayors to bloated, indifferent Congressmen, have no interest in public safety or saving lives, the jobs and businesses and dreams of ordinary Americans.
They are putting Winston Churchill’s wry reflection to typical use directly from the liberal playbook: “Never let a good crisis go to waste.”
And when the next wave hits, and it will - check your virological history and the biology of viruses - it will be used by the despots, the “-ists”, as the ultimate and unarguable excuse for a government usurpation of power and nullification of the Constitution in the name of safety. And citizen Franklin will have been proven right again.
So sleep the sleep of the unconscious. Submit to the new normal, join the ranks of the useful idiots. Wave at the Chicom surveillance drones, accept your I'm-not-infected tracking devices, shut up, stay home and stay healthy. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Those rumblings on the horizon are just the ramblings of Chicken Little.
Or maybe the Little Red Hen.
