Maybe it's time to talk about the elephant in the room.

We have a situation where the government - our government - played a part in creating a virus, and then permitted that virus to escape containment. It caused a pandemic, the reaction to which caused and continues to cause economic and social calamity.

Why is nobody talking about this? The government which is attempting to implement draconian medical mandates is the same government which had a hand in creating, then releasing the virus. Then, they destroyed our economy and shredded the social fabric of our country.

Is anyone going to say anything about that? Shouldn't there be some accountability?

What say you?

And the previous 45 administrations.

Unless you think GW leading an army to Pittsburgh to slaughter farmers was kosher.

Soooo you're saying you're good with all this? Because it doesn't sound like you care about what's happening. Who cares if something was done before this that may or may not have been bad. It's about right here and right now, not 10 / 100/ 200 years ago! You're either on the side of liberty or the side of tyranny... no left or right, no republicans or democrats, no conservatives or liberals, just American citizens. Just once, let's come together as a country to fight for liberty together!

Unless another power and money hungry group wanted to grab the pie and “raise people on rightous struggle for the best of the children(animals, melting icebergs, ozon hole, slavery, fill the blanks).

This one has no room for partisan bickering. When you mention the economic calamity, don't forget some corporations, some people, made a huge amount of money. The pandemic created more billionaires in a very short time. The banks also made a lot of money. Certain people benefited big time.

So if I hit you in the head, and you yelled at me, but the next day I did it again. Maybe you yelled at me again, maybe you tried another tactic or not. Does that make it right for me to keep hitting you in the head because you didn't STOP me?

Saying bad things have happened before now doesn't mean you can't stand up to those bad things today!

Besides, show me something that happened LIKE THE VACCINE MANDATES that happened in the last 50 years? That's how old I am right now, so before I was born I couldn't do anything about anything. I really couldn't do much of anything about anything before I was 18 either, but I'll even give you the first 18 years of my life.

Show me where the federal government was trying to force the entire population to inject something into their bodies against their will and threatening them with loss of livelihood, to assemble, and even to bare arms. Show me where this happened in the last 50 years and I'll say yea we should have risen up at that time.

This is the first time in my lifetime that so many of our freedoms have so flippantly been threatened to be taken away with so many of our citizens not only not caring about it, but cheering it on. And by flippantly saying "where were you when" or "That's the way it always is", makes you complicit with these actions!

Wow. Where do you people get this fantasy land stuff from?

It must be amazing to be able to just create your own version of reality. What fun!

If you have a link I can look at that would be great.

Sounds terrible.. not the same thing as these vaccine mandates though. NO I am not saying the vaccine is worse than being killed. I'm saying it's apples and oranges... or maybe apples and asparagus.
