Is Our ‘Democracy’ Endangered By Authoritarian Republicans?

First of all, we are not a democracy–we are a representative republic. Secondly, let’s look at the authoritative tendencies of each party. On Tuesday, Steven Hayward posted an article at Power Line Blog that included the following chart:

The article concludes:

Given how Democrats like President Biden think your own children don’t belong to you, imagine what Democrats might do if there wasn’t a Second Amendment.

Chaser: Yes, you may well ask, who are the idiot Republicans who answer Yes to any of these questions, when the right answer is NO. I suggest this survey is an ideal screen for identifying RINOs, who are, alas, not an endangered species.

Maybe you support the idea of mandatory vaccines, but do you want to see your fellow Americans arrested or put in camps because they refuse a shot?

Coming To America?

The vaccine hysteria has gotten ridiculous. From the beginning, there has been no talk of the risks associated with the vaccine or the role of natural immunity. There has also been little talk of treatment for Covid. It’s simply been about forcing everyone to be vaccinated. It makes you wonder who owns the stock in the companies making the vaccines.

I have stated before that I hate Nazi Germany comparisons. However, history reports that initially store owners were told not to let Jews in their shops because Jews carried vermin. The Jewish people were hazardous to your health. How they managed to sell that idea I have no idea, but they succeeded in creating two separate classes of people–Jews and non-Jews. From there it was simply a matter of dehumanizing the Jews so that killing them seemed like doing everyone a favor. Listen to some of the statements by people in the Biden administration about the unvaccinated, and you hear something very close to that idea. If you think I need a tinfoil hat at this point, I would like to present the following news story.

On Tuesday, The Conservative Treehouse reported the following:

Starting in February, vaccination in Austria is compulsory for all citizens.  As a result, the Austrian government is now hiring “hunters” to track down the unvaccinated citizens and enforce compliance.  This is not a joke.

This is a screenshot of part of the article:

Please understand that forcing people to take an experimental vaccine has no place is a free society. Encouraging people to take a vaccine is acceptable, but creating two classes of citizens is not. Covid will probably be with us in some form for a long time. There is no guarantee that the current vaccines will protect against future variants. There is no guarantee that the current vaccines will protect against current variants. If you are going to force vaccines on people, you should also force a healthy diet, the end of smoking, and other health measures on people. With a little effort, you could spoil life for everyone.

According to the CDC:

Nothing kills more Americans than heart disease and stroke. More than 868,000 Americans die of heart disease or stroke every year—that’s one-third of all deaths. These diseases take an economic toll, as well, costing our health care system $214 billion per year and causing $138 billion in lost productivity on the job.3

Do you want the government telling you what you can eat and drink in order to cut the costs of healthcare in America? If the answer is no, then don’t support vaccine mandates.
