People are growing increasingly hysterical over COVID. But COVID’s nothing, nothing at all, compared to Systemic Racism! Ask any scientist.
But here is the solution!
Yes–lock down everybody, forever. It’s the only way to be sure nobody has a chance to practice racism.
They might still think racist thoughts or harbor racist feelings, but we’ll have to get to that aspect of the problem later on.
Where there’s a government, there’s a way of suppressing people!
The new all-purpose salutation is “Stay safe,” and I don’t much like it. I mean… how safe? One hundred percent risk-free?
If by “Stay safe” they mean be extraordinarily risk-averse, tremble in fear of germs here, germs there, germs everywhere, and always believe and obey The Government no matter how many times they’re caught lying and cheating–if that’s what “Stay safe” is getting at, I think the polite reply ought to be, “Thanks, but I’d rather stay free.”
If people are going to give up their freedoms, they ought at least be forced to think about it. (“Honest, we’ll give you back your freedom as soon as we can guarantee a germ-free environment–you have our word on it!”)
Meanwhile, they’re saying almost half of America is in favor of “vaccine passports”–that is, you lose your freedom of movement unless you can prove you’ve had your COVID shot. This is unprecedented in American history, uproariously unconstitutional–and you can bet Democrats are licking their lips over it and just can’t wait to lay it on us.
Freedom is easy to lose, but hard to get back.
The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that a university cannot force a professor (or anyone else) to address a so-called “transgender” student by a “preferred pronoun”–that is, they can’t make you call a girl “mister” just because she insists she’s a man (https://www.christianpost.com/news/6th-circuit-sides-with-christian-prof-in-trans-pronoun-case.html?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=b30d43f9-9484-459e-a922-c301b2b5a6ec).
Which was what Shawnee State Looniversity tried to do to a philosophy professor: knuckle under or lose your job. They got it past a district court, but the Sixth Circuit reversed that ruling.
I mean, really–what value has the First Amendment if they can make you say things you believe to be not only untrue, but wicked according to your religion? Whose idea of “freedom” is that? [Hint: a liberal’s.]
So now the professor can sue Shawnee State for damages, and let’s pray he sets them back a bundle. Because this must stop.
What else are they going to try to make you say, once they’ve got the “trans” nailed down? They heap abomination on top of abomination, and still expect to prosper.
But I don’t call losing our freedom (to say nothing of our dignity!) prospering.
“Democracy” at work!

That last election stank to high heaven; but now Democrats want to force people to say it was fair and honest. Somehow it always comes down to coercion, with them.
So now they’ve got this former Justice (LOL) Dept. prosecutor saying, let us quote (https://mariomurilloministries.wordpress.com/2021/03/24/the-latest-tyranny/) :
“Every business in America must sign a pledge that the election of Joseph Biden was free and fair and produced accurate, reliable results…” They call it “The Democracy Pledge”–barf bag, please–and if you won’t sign it, watch out. They will bury you.
What in the world was this freak doing in the Justice Dept.? How did such a creature emerge from our schools (I’m afraid that one answers itself). I mean, wouldn’t he feel much more at home in North Korea?
Boy, oh, boy–when libs say “democracy,” watch out! Next thing you know, it’s barbed wire, gulags, and a lot of dead bodies.
What is someone like this doing in America?
But think about that. Right there in the bowels of the government–a government whose stated duty and function is to uphold the Constitution–lurked a character who wants to force people to say things they don’t believe, or else. Or else what? Well, the Cancel Culture at the very least: destroy you and your business. Or they could just stick to the old-fashioned way and kill you.
This was in our government. And he was not alone.
Our federal government needs a thorough cleansing; but who has hands clean enough to do it?
Every time anybody speaks the truth, a Democrat somewhere has a savage toothache.
Oh, how they wish they could do as Communist China does!
Here we have the Chicoms banning TV spoofs and parodies. Don’t laugh–Big Tech is full of those who’d like to do the same. In fact, they’re already shutting down free speech without the government having to pass unconstitutional fake laws. It’s a whole new dimension in tyranny!
This morning’s grocery shopping brought me to Whole Foods, where Cerberus at the door scolded me for my mask not being high enough. “I need you to put that over your nose,” she said. “I need you to pinch it so it doesn’t slip down.” I need you to do this, I need you to do that: somebody’s been watching too many TV cop shows.
Well, sunshine, I don’t care what you need. This encounter degenerated into a shouting match. I’m not proud of this, but I’ll tell you what these little tinpot tyrants do need–a realization that the consent of the governed is wearing very, very thin. But meanwhile, if you don’t wear the mask the way they like it, they won’t let you buy food. Tom Paine is spinning in his grave.
Did I wake up in Communist China this morning? They can actually order you to wear a mask? What kind of country is this turning into?
Just the kind that Democrats want: no land of the free, no home of the brave: just a lot of timid little sheeple who tamely obey the government. Feh!
This has to stop. We have to find a way to stop it.
Here’s something they’ll still allow you to sing. They might even make you sing it.
Yes, they’re always looking to outlaw and silence any opinions that diverge from theirs. Especially now that they’ve got the perfect formula for imposing global government–COVID ‘n’ Climate Change.
If they can’t wipe out our freedom now, they might as well stop trying.
Ruling the world, one tyranny at a time…
When I was in college I attended a lecture by Bayard Rustin, who said something I’ve never forgotten: “There are a lot of stupid Smart People.”
We’ve raised a bumper crop of them, these days; and they’re out to eat us alive.
Take a good look at these people who want to “transform” our country and control our lives. They are defective. The fact that they’re billionaires only proves that God has a sense of humor. That fact that they’re already so powerful only shows how much we need Him.
As the song says, Protect us by thy might, great God our king.
There’s always some animated root vegetable who wants to rule the rest of us–and always for our own good, of course. President Woodrow Wilson would have liked to have been something more than president.
He was ahead of his time.
His Bible substitute was a novel with the catchy title, Philip Dru: Administrator: A Story of Tomorrow, 1920-1935. He liked it so much, he made its author, Col. House, his chief foreign policy advisor.
Now we know what Stephen King was doing during the Obama years.
Here’s another little chip knocked off our past: a small thing, but if the leftids keep on doing it, these small chips will add up into big ones and we’ll be cut off from our moorings and set adrift on a sea of ignorance.
When Herman Melville’s classic of American literature was published in 1851, its full title was Moby-Dick, or the White Whale. Nineteenth-century publishing was big on subtitles. But here, as you can see in the book cover reproduced above, they’ve changed the subtitle so it’s just or, The Whale.
Now I’m not going to re-read it with a score-sheet to keep track of all details added to or subtracted from the novel for the sake of political correctitude. The one change in the title itself is enough to make my point.
Melville used “the whiteness of the whale” to transform Moby-Dick into something more than an ordinary whale. This whale is different: it’s something that anyone with his head on straight will want to avoid. But Captain Ahab is obsessed with hunting it, and you know how that turned out. The narrator, Ishmael, quotes the Book of Job: “And I only am escaped to tell thee.” Moby-Dick has killed everybody else and sunk the whaling vessel.
So taking away the whiteness of the whale damages the novel–and why would they want to do that?
It’s another little bit of Cancel Culture, of course. What leftids want to do is cut us off from our past: cut us off from all thought but theirs. Like, human life never truly began until these culture commissars came along and invented everything we’re supposed to know from now on. Only what they want us to know. Only what they want us to think. Only what they want us to read.
Don’t ask me why we tolerate this; I don’t know.
We really must make them stop doing this to us.
