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.

Harris and Trump

By
  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...

Conservatism

By
Edmund Burke, Portrait  c.  1769 Conservatism is a political and social philosophy that promotes the maintenance of traditional institutions and supports minimal and gradual change in society over time. Check my link page! Core Principles: Conservatism as a philosophy is centered around several core principles: Tradition : Conservatives value the customs, conventions, and continuity of societal organizations as a guide for the present and future. Tradition is seen as a cumulative wisdom of the past that should be honored and preserved. Order and Stability : A stable social order is deemed essential for the well-being of society. Conservatives often emphasize the need for a hierarchical structure and clear authority lines to maintain stability. Individual Responsibility : Personal responsibility and self-reliance are emphasized. Conservatives believe that individuals should take responsibility for their actions and welfare rather than relying on government assistance. Rule of Law : ...

Afghanistan

By
 Foreign policy and geopolitics can be a messy business. It is more messy the more one injects ones nose into someone else's business.  Nation building; more bluntly, empire expansion is costly, and often will fail unless the conquered culture truly accepts its conquered state. Afghanistan is a recent example of this. Trillions of American dollars have been spent on creating and nurturing a democracy. Conspiracy theorist ideas aside, what has happened there is an embarrassment. The majority of Americans, I believe, do feel as though we couldn't be there forever. Pulling out of the country should have been the goal all along, and one should strongly reflect on future occupations of foreign soils after this debacle. I have stated before that we should have never occupied Afghanistan at any point. Leaving is a good idea; how we leave matters. For some reason (maybe nuclear) we, as a country, love Pakistan and there are credible sources who say that most of the problems there are ...
