That didn’t take long.
The opposition media’s "president elect" Joe Biden is already announcing he’s going to impose intrusive rules on our lives without bothering to ask Congress to pass a law.
That’s one of the differences between life in America under Republicans and life in the America under Leftists.
According to Fox News (which appears to be rapidly repenting and retreating from its former conservative-oriented news policy), "One of Joe Biden's first priorities as president-elect will be implementing mask mandates nationwide by working with governors. The future 46th president, however, says if they refuse than he will go to mayors and county executives and get local masking requirements in place."
Two items in the above quote are especially noteworthy.
First the one-rule-punishes-all philosophy behind an edict from on high.
Our government, such as it is, remains incapable of distinguishing between situations.
Rather than look at how people go about their lives and determine when masks are appropriate and when they are not, the Left just orders you to shut up and put on your face burka. The fact it lacks both a law and the authority to do so is irrelevant when the Left wields power.
The second item of note is Biden says he will be working with governors and if they won’t toe the line, he’ll try and buffalo mayors and county executives.
Working with local elected leaders is called Federalism and is exactly what President Trump did.
Naturally Biden attacked Trump during the campaign for doing the same thing he proposes to do after the election.
Biden also gets his priorities exactly backwards in fighting a disease that 99.95 percent of the infected survive.
Biden says he will use a "Dial" approach when imposing social distancing.
"Dial"? What does that mean? Is it another Biden verbal-burble?
We think a "Dial" approach involves only imposing social distancing rules when conservatives or Christians or both are gathering.
While Leftists are free to do as they please.
Dr. Marc Siegel of Tucker Carlson fame thinks mandating virus feed bags and being flexible with social distancing is wrong, "I think physical distancing is more important than masks. If you're 10 feet away from someone, you're not going to get the virus. If you're one foot away with a mask, you might."
What Dr. Siegel is missing is the political component of the mask order.
The science verdict on the effectiveness of masks is mixed at best.
The political and social component of mask wearing is an established fact.
Wearing a mask is a sign of obedience, submission and conformity.
Three words I think we're going to see a lot of in the very near future if Biden takes office.
Regardless of whether or not the country is able to beat the "Wuflu."
