Daily Verse | Proverbs 4:23
Above all else, guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life.
Happy Tuesday my friends. The mosh pit that is America continues thrashing to the irrational noise that is our progressive disease. Everywhere you look there is anger, envy, resentment, bitterness, hostility, pride and hopelessness masquerading as righteousness. What little remains of the original American culture that used to bind us together feels isolated in little pockets away from where the music is loudest.
In the latest instance of cultural regression and the invasive creep that has become the rule of the Left, we’ve been told by the current administration that we’re going to receive a personal visit from a government minder representative who will attempt to get us vaccinated if we haven’t been by “sharing information” and dispelling “some of those rumors you’ve heard.”
Starting from the top, Resident Biden announced the campaign last Tuesday, saying that “we need to go community by community, neighborhood by neighborhood, and often times door-to-door — literally knocking on doors to get help to the remaining people protected from the virus.”
The administration fell short of its goal of having 70% of adults receiving at least one COVID-19 vaccination shot by July 4.
Press Secretary Jen Psaki previewed the Resident’s announcement.
The administration has tried to blunt criticism by telling us that the door-knockers will be local grassroots organizations and that the federal government doesn’t have a list of who is or is not vaccinated and that the vaccine isn’t mandatory. Still, this is authoritarian creep and a significant invasion of privacy.
For starters, it’s nobody’s business whether or not I’ve gotten the vaccine. I make that decision for myself. My medical history is private and no stranger showing up at my door has the right to know about it, much less ask about it.
That didn’t stop far-Left extremist Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra from telling us it is “absolutely” the government’s business to know if you’re vaccinated.
There is so much wrong with that statement, starting with his reason for why the government has the right to know who is or is not vaccinated — because the government “has spent trillions of dollars to keep Americans alive.” The government has spent trillions of dollars on delivering my mail, too, but they don’t have the right to know what’s in it just because they’ve spent trillions of dollars on getting it to me.
The amount of money they spend doesn’t invalidate my natural rights. I am a private citizen and a free man. I have the right to privacy and to be free from government interference. I am free to choose to be vaccinated or not to be vaccinated and it’s none of their business whether I am or not.
Also, since when is the government concerned about spending money on lost causes?
Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) gets it:
Interestingly, “As the Biden administration is ‘rethinking’ the coronavirus from China, a July poll indicates 57 percent of Americans believe they have less personal freedom today than before the coronavirus pandemic.” No kidding.
How will the government, or grass roots activists, know if someone is vaccinated or not unless they ask?
The stated goal is “to get people vaccinated” and the gubmint believes it is their business to know whether or not you are vaccinated. This, again, is creeping authoritarianism.
It’s only a short step from this to “Do you haff your papers?”
