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 primarily on protectin

Quick Hits #2

Trump Wins New Hampshire.      Donald Trump easily takes New Hampshire from Nikki Haley, although the race was much closer than Iowa. While this gives Trump great advantage, South Carolina may be a closer race than one thinks. Trump has recently been ordered to pay $83 million to E. Jean Carroll in a defamation suit. Wither we believe the charges and such against Trump are true or false, the hits keep coming. At what point will the "straw that breaks the camels back" fall? At what point do we realize that Trump cannot win the general election? Will it be after a November loss? Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is polling at  20% in some political areas. We need to understand that Kennedy is a Democrat who believes that the DNC, and the "woke" citizens, have lost their minds. Even running as an Independent, Kennedy could win. He will pull votes from Trump and many from Biden. He needs to be taken seriously and the GOP needs to take a long hard look, before the South Carolina pr

Where Do We Start?

George Washington, Prayer at Valley Forge, National Archives,  Engraving by John McRae from painting by Henry Brueckner      Its been a while since I have posted, as I was at a loss for words. The following are some introductory thoughts on where we are wrong and how we can begin to get back to being who the pioneers of this country intended us to be.       It was God's design for man to be free. When I say free, I mean without earthly overlord. From the beginning, Abraham followed the law of the land but only faithful to God. As a matter of fact, so much was his great faith that the Hebrew writer states several times in chapter 11, "...by faith Abraham". Yes, it is my intention to directly tie faithfulness to God with freedom. That specific thought will be developed in later posts, but for now we see that Abraham really had no king but God.      The Israelites had no king when they left Egypt. Yes, they had Moses, but Moses took his direction straight from God. The Israe
