It seems we have a very nasty, loud and ignorant basket of Deplorables who love to scream at

[Atticus]

local government officials that "By God!" NO ONE is gonna make them wear a face mask.

(As an aside, the adjective "local" has become unnecessary when used in front of "government". "Local" is now the only government we have.)

These brainless tools insist that their "rights" would be violated and their "liberty" infringed by a mask requirement and that "the government has no business" weighing in on such a "personal decision".

A few questions for these children:

If your family is T-boned by a drunk who ran a red light, is it "ok" if the drunk insists it is his "right" to drive drunk and that "the government has no business" telling him where to stop?

Is it ok with you if the man who lives next door to your grandkids' daycare playground claims a "right" to let his pair of Bengal tigers out to frolic in his unfenced yard?

If the nursing home where your parent or grandparent resides hires unlicensed nurses, addicts and felons to staff the place, is it the "government's business" to shut them down?

Some people believe it should be their "personal decision" which side of the highway they drive on, whether they can cook meth in your apartment building and how young their sexual partners are. Are you one of them?

Wear a damn mask and stop whining about it or we are going to tattoo "I'm a big ol' DUMBASS!" on your forehead!

1. These are the same people who oppose seat belts and helmets

But they’re covered by public hospitals and Medicaid when they’re in a coma after an accident

[Atticus]

13. And fluoridated water and jet con trails and 5G towers and----nt

[Kaiserguy]

2. You hit the nail on the head

and I suspect that it would take a lot more than a hit on the head to wake up these ignorant fools

[RussBLib]

3. I wonder if they had a spouse die of Covid

if they would change their tune, or perhaps they would just accuse the government and hospitals of working together to kill his wife?

7. We know a man whose entire family got covid-19 and refuses to wear a mask

He says it was "like the flu"--they were in bed for three weeks (since when has the flu kept you in bed for three weeks?) and were now "just fine."

My husband replied, "100,000+ dead people would disagree with you."

Silence.

4. "Local is now the only government we have."

Spot on.

[sop]

5. Folks like these are incapable of living in a complex society.

There are a number of lawless countries where they could live happily, free from any government dictates, liberated to fend for themselves.

[Budi]

6. Trump sucks. Magats are a cult

[safeinOhio]

9. Good one.

[safeinOhio]

8. You can't control my body,

I ain’t knocked up.

[wryter2000]

10. How about

If the guy next door to the playground insists it's his "right" to masturbate in front of a window where the kids can see him?

[SWBTATTReg]

11. I personally think that if they are in public around other people w/o a mask, they have ...

already invisibly stamped / tattooed "I'm a big ol' DUMBASS" on their faces...

[sanatanadharma]

12. "Me" and "my" and "mine" are all marks of mankinds' madness

"I", "us", "ours" are the keys to unlocking true freedom.

Totally identified with a subjective concept of "freedom", some bind themselves within their own constructed cages of fear and reactivity and rejection.
They are not free who can not be taught history, ethics and logic. The fearful are not free.
