The bold move by @POTUS to impose vaccine mandates will save countless lives and protect our economy.

When Your Personal Freedom is Killing People

Others paid in churches in Birmingham and on campus squares in Ohio and in streets of Chicago.

Generations of Americans sacrificed family and future and body and breath, so that you could be pulled from the birth canal nestled in the warm embrace of the easy liberty you’ve come to believe you deserve.

Which makes it all the more tragic and shameful how little regard you have for that freedom now, how much you’re squandering it over and over because you’ve decided the simplest of requests are too much for you to bear and constitute an assault on your personal liberty:
...........................


................................

Your courageous, selfless forebears were asked to fight and die on foreign soil in order to save other American lives—and they did.
They braved bombs and bullets to perpetuate this place where liberty resides and you were generously handed.
........................

.............................

Today, you’re being asked to simply make the smallest effort to accomplish the same noble task and you can’t manage that. You are interpreting your temporary, tiny, fleeting inconvenience as perpetual and inhumane persecution—that’s how soft and sad we’ve become, how small our battles now are, what we see as worthy causes.....................................

1. Biden's message to unvaccinated Americans: 'Our patience is wearing thin'

Low IQ TFG supporters who are too stupid to get vaccinated are all assholes

3. A friend and I were talking about our fathers who risked their lives in WWII.

My friend's father was seriously wounded in Europe during the war and was in pain for the rest of his life.

She said he never once complained or regretted his service. He considered it an honor and privilege to fight
for democracy and the American way of life. Like my father, he knew what was at risk if we lost the war.

My friend and I both decided we are glad our fathers are not alive to see what is happening to this country.
To see grown adults whine about wearing at mask or getting vaccinated to deal with a national medical crisis.
After all our fathers had gone through in the war.

My father risked his life for years during WWII, flying the very dangerous Burma Hump.

And the current crop of asshats cannot even wear a damn mask.

4. +1000s

My dad and my uncles would agree with you, as WW2 veterans themselves.

My mother is the only one of the WW2 generation still around in my extended family.
She turns 90 at the end of this month.

And I know she agrees with you, as do I.

5. Yes we remember the men in our families who fought.

My uncle was in the navy and he was killed in WWII during the Battle of Guadalcanal.

I keep thinking of him and the other men in my family as the current situation unfolds.

I have no doubt your mother would agree on all points. She went through a rough period and the country rose to the occasion and did the right thing.
