COVID-19 lockdown gives Americans a taste of tyranny

Free speech is curtailed, our right to assemble is curtailed, freedom of religion is curtailed, in some areas the right to keep and bear arms has been curtailed, our freedom to move about has been curtailed, the ability to be employed in many industries has been curtailed.

So in general, our rights are getting stomped on by a bunch of nanny state government bureaucrats, many of whom don't answer to the people at all.

And this is nothing compared to what they could really do if allowed to usurp even more un-Constitutional power over our lives.

Heck right now in N.Y. the paramedics have been ordered to not try to resuscitate someone without a pulse, so much for the freedom of life and the pursuit of happiness, it's really difficult to laugh, when you are dead.

Commentary: COVID-19 lockdown gives Americans a taste of tyranny
Apr 24th, 2020 · Comments: 1
By Ingrid M. Sigler

I am an immigrant and a naturalized citizen. My parents brought me to the United States of America from war-torn Europe when I was ten years old. My parents and older brother lived through World War II. My father was taken into Germany as slave labor, my mother survived by fleeing her home with my older brother, living in the countryside, hiding with a farm family until the Americans liberated Holland.

We came here to be free. My parents lived the American dream, rising from abject poverty to build their own business, free to make their own way and to pursue happiness – life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, just like it says in the Preamble to our beloved Constitution. I have experienced the “Blessings of Liberty” and I am thankful for each and every one of those “blessings.”

Perhaps this panic and the resulting confused reaction from our political elites have shown us what the future could bring if we are not careful – perhaps they have given us a taste of tyranny from which we can learn that it can happen here just as it has happened elsewhere.

The Constitution says that government cannot interfere with private contract rights – but it has.

The Constitution says that government cannot interfere with free speech – but it has.

The Constitution says that government cannot interfere with the right to assemble – but it has.

The Constitution says that government cannot interfere with our right to associate with others – but it has.

The Constitution says that government cannot interfere with the right to worship – but it has.

The Constitution says that government cannot take what is ours without just compensation – but it has. Just ask the business owners who are losing their businesses.
