Just wondering, is freedom of the press, freedom of speech?
What freedoms are the authorities allowed to by “Executive Order” do away with indefinitely?
How about freedom of assembly?
Freedom of Religion?
How about forcibly closing millions of businesses indefinitely?
I just don’t see how any crisis can justify all this. I disagree with republicans & democrats on this.
Both sides are removing freedoms using coronavirus as an excuse. Are we going to do this for 6 months? How about 6 months every winter when the coronavirus returns? It WILL return every year for some time. Swine flu has come around many times since it got started many decades ago.
Are we going to suspend civil liberties every year? Are we going to create a great depression doing so?
Scripture says that the fear of death drives people into sin… I.e. unjust actions.
The founding fathers, escaping tyranny shouted, “Give me liberty or give me death!”
The present generation, cry, “You can take my liberty, if you promise me a few more days of life.”
When will you recognise there is a moderate libertarian left and a moderate libertarian right who did not agree with the Patriot Act and eschew its abuses.
I already do, since I fall into the latter category in the main. I’m talking about government more than the populace, though I’ll admit my post doesn’t make that clear.
The laws upholding the bill of rights and subsequent amendments have not been changed over this pandemic. When that happens, it’s a whole new ballgame. Rights have been restricted many times in American history and we have a pretty good track record of putting things back the way they were.
