Mandatory

Coerce : (2) to achieve by force or threat; //coerce compliance.

Compel: (1) to drive or urge forcefully or irresistibly; //the general was compelled to surrender. 

Mandatory: (1) to require by law or rule

We keep moving the goal posts. "Two weeks..." has turned into carrying a card to allow one to enter a business or travel to certain cities. Companies appear to be falling over themselves to mandate vaccination. Cities in our liberty loving country (*coughs*) have made laws and/or ordinances that require vaccination proof to even enter business there. 

What are we doing? With natural immunity, plus 70% vaccination to date, haven't we just about covered everyone? Haven't we reached the saturation point to where we just have to let it run its course?

COVID is terrible. Businesses choosing to require vaccination proof is there business, but the state or federal government doing so is just coercion and compulsion and is anti-liberty. Anyone else have a hard time seeing this as justified when we see that goal line keeps being moved? I cannot force someone in California to take a vaccine. When the federal government makes moves, thats what we're doing;  I am taking something of someone else or I am forcing something upon someone else. Force. Coerce. Compel. Mandatory. 

By force, we make people take the vaccine when 70% are already vaccinated, and that was a number that was thrown around to say "we made it". We're there, right now. The virus is still spreading like wild fire. Folks are still going to the hospital. At what point do we stop trying to force people into doing something they are uncomfortable with and let this thing ride out? 

Oh, I forgot. We like to force everyone to see things the way we see things. We don't limit that to influence and debate; we force people to agree with us. 

Wake up. How this is being handled is purely political.

Libertarianism

  Murray Rothbard, attributed to the Ludwig von Mises Institute. Libertarianism is a political philosophy that emphasizes individual liberty as its key principle. It advocates for a minimal state presence in the lives of individuals, arguing that people should be free to live as they choose, provided they do not infringe on the rights of others. The core ideas of libertarianism revolve around the concepts of personal freedom, economic freedom, and a skepticism of authority, especially governmental authority. Here is a detailed summary of its main tenets, variations, and criticisms: Core Tenets: Individual Liberty:  Libertarianism places the highest value on individual freedom, believing that individuals have the right to make choices for themselves in all aspects of their lives. This includes freedom of speech, religion, association, and the right to privacy. Limited Government:  Libertarians advocate for a government that is limited in scope and powers, focusing primaril...

Progressivism

Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, Library of Congress Yes, Ol' Teddy and Woodrow were progressives. Progressivism is a political and social ideology that advocates for reform and improvement of society through governmental action, most accurately, government force . Progressives seek to address the underlying causes of social issues and support modernization, scientific and technological improvements, and changes in the political system to better represent the people’s interests. Check my link page! Core Principles: Social Progress : The belief in the ability and duty to improve society and the lives of its citizens, often through coercive reform.

Harris and Trump

  Politics, oh the joy! Harris and Trump. Republicans and Democrats. Left and right. Freedom and...freedom. Well, that's what they say. To listen to our major parties rhetoric, each one is right and each one is wrong. The truth of the matter is that both are, uh, both? Both have presidential qualities and both have proposed policies that are, honestly, good and bad.  Trump is an overgrown child. An intelligent and successful overgrown child but a child nonetheless. One could argue wither his success is through bully tactics or business acumen, but he is successful. He is childish in his mannerisms and his speech, as far as public appearance can be perceived. It is interesting that his child-like public persona has been somewhat scaled down this election cycle. It is possible that his campaign finally understands that  middle-of-the-road voters have no desire to have the leader of the free world sound like a middle school bully in recess trying to take someone's lunch mone...
