On Jan. 23, thousands of protesters marched on Washington, D.C. to demand the end of vaccine mandates. Nearly six decades earlier, thousands from a different generation marched on the nation’s capital to demand the end of racial segregation.
Those events have more to do with each other than you might think, especially as the recent holiday honoring the life of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. fades into memory.
Just as equal access to employment, facilities, and legal status motivated the civil rights movement, so has equal access for the unvaccinated and unmasked become the civil rights issue of our time. Just as segregationists sought to limit access for the sake of an alleged greater social good, so do “progressives” who insist on indefinite vaccinations and mandates for the sake of “public health” and “the common good.”
Just as yesterday’s segregationists did, today’s “progressives” will readily sacrifice the Constitution and its values on the altar of their own bigotry.
Just as segregationist bigots viewed African-Americans as second-class citizens whose every movement must be closely monitored and controlled, so do “progressive” bigots view the unvaccinated. The More Things Change…
If you don’t believe those attitudes are identical, consider the opinions of those who claim to champion “compassion,” “inclusion,” and “social justice” from a Rasmussen poll released Jan. 13.
Among the 1,016 likely voters polled, 59 percent of Democrats supported forcing the unvaccinated to stay home except for emergencies. Another 55 percent of Democrats supported levying fines against anyone who chose not to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
In other categories, 48 percent of Democrats endorsed imposing fines or imprisoning anybody who questions whether COVID-19 vaccines work. Another 47 percent of Democrats approved of a government tracking program targeting the unvaccinated, and 45 percent supported forcing the unvaccinated to live in “designated facilities,” akin to the […]
They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
