A Not-So-Happy New Year

It's time for a gut check, America

Often on this page, we take a light-hearted approach to the issues we face in the world. We might laugh at the stupid policies of the ‘leaders’ while neglecting to comment on the underlying power grab. But as we start this new year, it’s time to shift gears and get serious. Recall this quote from Ronald Reagan:

Turns out Reagan was wrong — freedom slips away much more quickly than over a generation. As we move into 2022, the stark truth is that freedom cannot survive another year like 2021. It will be extinct unless we do something. Now.

Previous generations have made incalculable sacrifices to maintain the freedom that we enjoy. In comparison, our job is easy. We don’t have to grab machine guns and storm beaches at Normandy, we simply have to say NO. NO to testing, NO to mandates, NO to authoritarian power grabs, and NO to endless emergencies.

Many of you are outspoken critics of the idiotic policies being pushed by power-mad authoritarians. For you, it’s time to crank up the volume. Share articles and stories across all your social media accounts. Continue to be vocal in your real life to your friends and family. (At least those who will keep talking to you!)

Others of you are closer to the middle. You know the policies don’t work, but don’t want to cause waves in your real life. Maybe the kids have to go to soccer and you gotta fly for your job, so…..you go along to get along. This has been completely understandable, but now it’s time to get off the fence before you find yourself behind it.

A government that can force citizens to undergo a medical procedure without consent has no limit to its power.

Listen to Justin Trudeau talking about the unvaccinated, knowing full well that vaccines don’t stop (and might not even slow) transmission. THIS IS NOT ABOUT A VIRUS. This is about how much the government can control your life.

Did Trudeau actually say “ Do we tolerate THESE people”?” Canadians need to ask themselves why we tolerate Trudeau.

This man and those like him will not be defeated with quiet submission. They will continue to squish the vocal outspoken, one by one, unless we all stand up en masse. This is the time to stand up for freedom. And like it or not, WE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO MUST DO IT. Otherwise, we’ll be in a much, much worse place this time next year. This is the time to stand up for yourselves, for your children, and for the children they’ll eventually have. The other option is living in shame, knowing our generation was the one where freedom went extinct.
