A comment worth sharing

This was a comment posted on a news article on the Interweb...worth sharing! Food for thought.

Many more forgotten men and women are also wondering about the costs of lock-downs imposed by a political elite largely insulated from their consequences. The lock-downs’ loudest cheerleaders work in jobs that are easily done from the safety and comfort of home.

Pundits and politicians are unlikely ever to need unemployment benefits, or to watch a family business built over generations get wiped out in a matter of months. The forgotten men and women are also wondering why they get so little respect, as customers, from wealthy athletes, television commentators and celebrities who are quick to lecture them about their alleged moral failings, sometimes ascribed to them simply because of the color of their skin. Most men and women lead lives of quiet desperation. We worry about paying our bills, keeping our kids happy and out of trouble, preserving our property, and protecting our families.

Most of us don’t have ambitions greater than living free from want and fear.

Most don’t want a European vacation or an apartment in San Francisco. We just want the freedom to say what we think and to worship as we choose. It is remarkable how many in power have forgotten the lessons of the upset of 2016, and the people who made it possible.

It's so convenient that the media cherry-picks what they tell us that comes out of the mouth of Dr. Fauci. If it is verbiage that can scare people, they shout it from the roof tops! If it's information that gives us perspective and valuable knowledge that can at least take the "edge" off of all the fear that's running rampant across the country...then heaven forbid we hear it!!!

(VIDEO) The high cost of lockdowns and isolation

I've said this from DAY ONE: isolation hurts and kills. Isolation increases fear, and fear is a contagion.


Meanwhile, have you been enjoying this burst of warm, spring-like weather we've had over the past week?

In the United States, we have protections in place, embedded in the U.S. Constitution, that identify our rights. We must defend our Constitution to the very limits of our human abilities.
