Are You Skeered?

Well said. And perhaps Texas can be a little more accepting of us La. neighbors. I know Katrina left a bad taste but forgiveness is a virtue.

Rusty, I think the infection rate in NOLA scared our guv, can’t say as I blame him. Everyone who has legit business is still going and coming though. Probably saved some Texans lots of money from the casinos !

The percentage of healthy people dying from the CV is extremely low. MN has reported only 1 death of a person with no other life threatening issue. The odds of a healthy person dying from this is 1 in hundreds of thousands.

What will we get outta this? A worldwide mandated vaccination? Social credit score reductions for those that don't submit? Withheld travel papers? Disqualification for health insurance, medicaid or medicare? Call me a foil hat guy, but when eugenicists like Gates are chomping at the bit to give us all a shot, I get skeptical.

Bill Gates used threats to buy out all his competition in his early days, so now we're still stuck with his second rate software, that's why the government had antitrust lawsuits against him for decades. Underneath his facade I suspect that he's just another socialistic strong arm man like Castro.

 

[Buckly]

To your point, Gates has given billions to WHO and has a big influence there. Hmmm.

Please tell me you guys saw the NJ Governor on Tucker's show (Fox). While discussing the drastic shut downs in the state of NJ...

Tucker: Under what authority did you make the decision to override the Bill of Rights.

NJ Governor: "Tucker, that's above my pay-grade, I wasn't thinking about the Bill of Rights when I made that decision.

Houston, we have a problem.

Chances are that he couldn't even tell you where to find them to read.

And once again despite many tangents this thread has taken, it always returns to my original premise of fear of loss of the inalienable rights of our citizens.

I’m 42, when I was in third grade my dad sent off a bunch of Duracell battery box tops for a replica of the US Constitution for me. Making sure your kids understand and appreciate those inalienable rights is far too important to trust to anyone else in my opinion. So is their general education, but that’s a whole other topic.

It’s a fine line but I’m teaching the boys how to respectfully question “authority” when it is the right thing. My oldest got a first hand lesson in this with respect to “new” or “common core” math. He is a math whiz, and was growing frustrated with having to do math the ridiculous way it was being taught to him. I also grew frustrated. I spoke with his educators and said, I can appreciate you teaching different methods to solve a problem but why can’t you then leave it up to the student to pick the most logical approach to them. That wasn’t good enough, it eventually came down to a discussion with the administration where I said if they insisted on forcing my kid to use the ridiculous methods that I would pull him out of school and send him to private school. Well, public schools in Indiana get paid for butts in seats so they were conveniently able to make an exception for my son and he’s free to solve his math homework and test problems using the normal methods and they only grade him on the answers now. I had to do this and Indiana was the first state in the country to reject common core requirements, yet they’re still using the garbage methods. My son learned that “authority” figures aren’t always right and that you have to stand up for what is right. I hope that lesson stays with him for the rest of his life. In case you guys with older kids don’t know what I’m talking about watch this:

This is what is going on in classrooms around the country. If you’re not concerned you should be. If the intent was to dumb down the education system they’re succeeding in spectacular fashion.

F WORD! I hope that’s not really what they’re teaching in public schools. I’m your age (41) and could barley tolerate my math teachers in the 90’s. This method would have led to physical altercations.

I’ve said this before, but from an elected official, believe me—-We control you. We have plans, that once executed will have the VAST majority of gun owners begging us to take their guns which is the last hurdle to total domination. We know that we can take constitutional rights away on a whim because you CANNOT afford to sue us to keep them. Therefore you will simply comply. 15 more years and the US will be the most powerful dictatorship to ever exist.

 

[dogghr]

^^^ I think you underestimate the power and resolve of the working class people of this country and the Power that actually controls this world. I present the Unions of years past that the government and powerful companies of those times that thot they could prevent peoples movement. I'll put my trust in that and a Power much greater than a man made org.

i prefer the Amish math method. There was a teenage girl selling baked goods in front of the post office last year. I bought two plates and she said it was $13. I gave her a twenty. She said you’ll have to tell me how much to give you back.

There is no “plan” that would have the majority of Americans voluntarily parting with their firearms. Not gonna happen. Any move toward more control and dictatorship slid backwards in November 2016. A TV star was elected because you politicians stunk sooo bad.

There's no need to disarm anyone. Gov just needs to turn off the power and water, and close the pharmacy. The revolution would be squashed in 3 days.

No, they would be stupid to turn off the same power and water that they use themselves. If, or when they take over it won't be by force at all, it would be by slowly duping and eroding the freedoms away, lulling the people to sleep with handout entitlement programs and redtape laws (plan A, what the current socialists seem to be trying to do). Politicians in the USA know that they control the free people by the thinnest of threads, that's exactly why they are always trying to get more control. Once an animal has the taste of freedom they are hard to keep in a pen, people are the same way. They know the only way to take over is to slowly remove the memory of the freedoms of yesteryear by promising security in exchange for freedom. Only in the very end when it'd be too late will a show of force appear, and at that point most of the guns would be out of private hands already. Plan "A" is going ok, but their dilemma has always been "how to take the guns"?

as more numbers come out about this pandemic the people are starting to see just what the government was doing. And they’re not liking it. The wool has been lifted from the sheep’s eyes.

It's no joke weekender, this is widespread. Last year, I didn't have to battle it because my son's teacher was out most of the year on maternity leave. They brought back a teacher out of retirement and with nothing to lose, she canned all the "new" math crap. I think most teachers feel it's ridiculous too, but they just go along with the program.

Speaking of the freedoms of yesteryear I let the boys ride in the back of my truck the other day when we were out by the farm. They thought it was the greatest thing. When I explained to them that when I was a kid it was commonplace and we did it all the time, my oldest asked us why we couldn't anymore. I said, well it can be dangerous, to which he replied, well wasn't it dangerous back then? The best answer I could muster was that it was a different time then.....boy was it.

That was kind of the title, remember?
Patrick Henry must've been a "tin foil hat" guy too: “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

Our baseball team traveled in our coaches cargo van. The starting pitcher sat in the passenger seat. The rest of us sat on our gloves in the back. Different time indeed.
