Standing Against COVID Tyranny

American liberty: Can we keep it? Certainly, if Americans are courageous, if they step up and fight for their freedoms. Yet near-daily assaults by left-wing leadership and a Democrat-controlled media have sought to dismantle the people’s spirit. Slowly awakening to the reality of the Left’s campaign for ultimate power and total control, many Americans are refusing to comply with the tyranny eroding our most basic rights — rights of personal choice and medical privacy. 

In early 2020, as the Chinese coronavirus hit America, Washington elites waged war on our foundational liberties — the freedoms of religion, speech, and the press, to name a few. For many people living under these draconian rules, feelings of helplessness and disgust shifted to attitudes of determination and conviction. Amid the cacophony of ridiculous behaviors, the ballyhoo seems endless. Irrational and seemingly eternal mask-wearing and insidious mandates for children as young as five have become “the new normal.” 

Even soaring inflation is blamed on the pesky virus. As White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki recently remarked, “Americans sitting at home don’t necessarily think about it [inflation and rising prices] in terms of data and what the economists are saying.” She continued, “a lot of what we’re seeing in our data is people’s psychology on the economy and how they’re experiencing things in the country right now is related to COVID.”
