Georgia Proposes ‘Faith Protection Act’

Wow. Does this mean Christians will no longer be forced to bake custom cakes for same-sex pseudomarriages? We won’t have to fund other people’s abortions with our money? Won’t have to say we believe in things we don’t believe in, just to keep our jobs?

No. We’re a long way from restoring religious liberty in America.

All this bill says is that the governor of Georgia’s emergency powers may not “specifically limit the practice of any religion” (https://www.wtxl.com/news/local-news/governor-kemp-rolls-out-faith-protection-act-legislation). But everything will still be done “in accordance with public health guidance”–whatever that turns out to mean.

Gov. Brian Kemp, who was only too happy to see anti-Christian Democrats take his state in the highly suspect, stinkin’-out-loud 2020 election, hailed the bill as creating in Georgia “a sanctuary state for people of faith.”

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, and you have to start somewhere: it’s better than nothing. But it’s about as close to nothing as you can get. What if “public health guidance” says “Shut down the churches, no worship allowed until further notice”?

Supposedly Mr. Kemp has his eye on the Republican nomination in 2024. I hear he’s also waiting for hell to freeze over.

We need to go a lot farther than this if we want our freedom back.

Face Mask Fascists

The Revolt Against Our Eloi Elite | The American Conservative

Let’s all be good, obedient little Eloi, shall we?

In the supermarket this morning, an employee in the meat department demanded that I wear my face mask higher, to cover my nose. He pantomimed it, too, in case I didn’t understand.

Surely I can’t be the only one who’s getting sick and tired of “By Order of the Governor” and all this face mask horse-schiff. Especially when there are reputable, credentialed medical scientists who say it does no good.

But if you ain’t wearin’ the mask, you ain’t buyin’ food.

I’m finding it increasingly hard to believe that a bunch of globalists didn’t unleash King Virus on us to whip us into obedience. “The people must obey the government!” Sheesh! Remember when this gaggle of officials were known as “public servants”? That’s a laugh.

But once you know how to steal elections, you don’t need public approval anymore. Just do whatever you please, and the voting machines will spit out a manufactured consent.

Our relationship with government has gotten rather cockeyed, don’t you think?

Governor: Plan to reopen New Mexico economy 'complicated' | KRQE News 13

Are you getting as tired of these signs as I am? “By order of the governor.” You’re only supposed to see that after your country gets conquered by a foreign enemy.

Or a domestic enemy.

I am hampered by an inability to understand or relate to an unquenchable lust for power over other people–the dominant characteristic of all leftids. Especially when they already have lots and lots of power! As for grinding us down to take our wealth–well, how much wealthier does John Kerry or Bill Gates need to be? They’re already wealthy! You can only spend so much of it before you die.

Yeahbut, yeahbut! COVID-19, man! They can’t let us live like human beings because King Virus is gonna kill everybody dead–except, of course, if you’re out there to riot. As long as you’re setting fire to cars, looting stores, and beating people up because Black Lives Matter, the Doomsday Virus will pass right over you. (See? Toldja! Leftism must always parody a real religion. Here we have the virus sparing or “passing over” rioters–a parody of the Jewish Passover.)

On Nov. 3, Election Day, we have a chance to put a stop to this. Smash the Democrat Party in the election–not just beat ’em: smash ’em, put ’em out of ;business–and we have a chance to rediscover what government by normal people looks like. Put the fear into all politicians who think we exist for them to feed on. Because it’s not healthy, for government to hold the people in contempt! As Thomas Jefferson said, when the government fears the people, you have liberty; but when the people fear the government, you have tyranny.

They’ve used fear of the virus to scare us into submission.

But it’s getting old fast.

Time to put the fear back where it belongs–in the breasts of politicians.

Governor: Plan to reopen New Mexico economy 'complicated' | KRQE ...

So I went to the store yesterday to get some cigars; and all over the place were posted these notices with the headline, “By Order of the Governor.”

What? Had I blundered into a World War II movie set in occupied France? I’ve lived in this state all my life and up till now, never, never, never saw any sign that read, “By Order of the Governor.”

Achtung! Anyone failing to obey the orders of the Kommandant will be shot!

It’s all coronavirus horse-schiff, of course. You must wear your masks! You must stand six feet apart! You must obey all orders!

This is what happens when our bosses–I can’t bear to call them “leaders,” trying as hard as I can not to follow them–lose all fear of the people. Our country’s founders hoped to spare us that, but even their wisest constitutional provisions are no match for the acting out of Original Sin.

We need to give those office-holders back their fear. For as long as they despise us, they’ll abuse us.
