Freedom Is Messy

And as far as interfering in religious beliefs...
Remind me again which political group wants to keep churches closed and which wants them open?

Actually, the answer is the reverse of what you think. The government is required to be religion neutral when enforcing rules. If it had a rule that let groups assemble for public discussions on land use, but told churches to suspend gatherings to control the spread of disease, that would violate the Constitution, as its application in times of emergency, have been interpreted. In the same vein, to allow large church gatherings when others are restricted, just because they are churches is not an equal application of the state's right and responsibility to protect its citizens. The courrts have ruled that reasonable, temporary restrictions on our rights to protect the public are legal. Think of Martial Law, for example.

Well said, you the man, Larry!

Uhmmm... who declared Martial law. Nobody.
We let you snooker us with this virus hyperbole. We were too nice. It won't happen again. It won't.

I won't let you misuse my example. You know that I was using Martial Law as an example of a legal circumstance that most people are familiar with, to compare to the circumstnces surrounding a declaration of an emergency, aimed at proootecting people from a killer virus. I can't help but ask what kind of coward does not use their name when having a public discussion. The irony is that you accuse others of trying to snooker, or deceive, you, when that is precisely what you are attempting to do.. But, you have the right to be a coward, and a liar. Others will stand up for you, and tell the truth about our democracy. We are stopping to remember some of them today.

That woman is twice the man you will ever be, Larry.
And she has an exponentially greater understanding of the God given liberties we have, as enumerated under the Constitution of the United States.

I have served my govenment and the people, in uniform and as a civilian, along with women whose abilities were many times mine. But, I remain unaware of any gender specific level of ability that would support your analysis. My undersanding of the Constitution is that it does guarantee your right to look foolish and sexist, if you wish. Have a great time doing so.

And you practice that right vigorously.

I believe you served "your" government. But I don't believe that you served the people. Not with your elitsit atttitude.

Frankly, I don't care what you think about me, whoever you are. And, playing the "elitist,:" card. Are you really that desperate? You come on here and simply call names, as if it is som special right you get as a result of defending President Pandemic. If that is not an act of elitism, nothing is.

pffffffftttttt.
Apparently you do care...you took the time to tell me you don't care.
Thou Doth Protest Too Much

One can never protest an ignorant elitist too much.
