Draconian Lockdown Powers: It’s a Slippery Slope from Handwashing to House Arrest

Draconian Lockdown Powers: It's a Slippery Slope from Handwashing ...

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”~~Viktor Frankl
We still have choices.

Just because we’re fighting an unseen enemy in the form of a virus doesn’t mean we have to relinquish every shred of our humanity, our common sense, or our freedoms to a nanny state that thinks it can do a better job of keeping us safe.

Whatever we give up willingly now—whether it’s basic human decency, the ability to manage our private affairs, the right to have a say in how the government navigates this crisis, or the few rights still left to us that haven’t been disemboweled in recent years by a power-hungry police state—we won’t get back so easily once this crisis is past.

The government never cedes power willingly.

Neither should we.

  1. It seems we are once again asked to give up constitutional rights for the greater good. I am not willing to do this. This was written about by our founding fathers
