The nimrod in this picture has it wrong, along with the rest of the nimrods who protested the restrictions imposed on Virginia residents by that state’s governor, Ralph Northam.

The enemy that should arouse this clown’s ire isn’t “tyranny.” It is a disease that could kill this clown if he isn’t careful. Thus, Gov. Northam as well as many other governors has imposed restrictions that seek to protect the people he was elected to serve.

Of course, we’re hearing from our share of dips***s too in Texas. Some of them descended on Austin to protest the measures that Gov. Greg Abbott has imposed. Abbott is about to lift some of them, but he insists that he will rely on “data and doctors” to guide his decisions.

I remain committed instead to protecting my health along with my wife’s health, not to mention the health of my children, their loved ones, my grandkids. I also want to add that a significant majority of Americans oppose any lifting of the restrictions until there is certainty that the coronavirus is on the wane; we aren’t there yet.

Do I want to return to some semblance of normal? Sure I do. I also happen to believe in good government and my definition of good government compels elected officials to take occasionally dramatic measures to protect us against disease. The coronavirus that has killed nearly 45,000 Americans is deadly in the extreme.

Some of the protesters are marching under signs that say “Give me liberty or give me death.” Think about the hideous irony of that message. If someone wants “liberty” as defined by protesters’ demands that governors relax the restrictions they have imposed, they well could also get “death” if the restrictions are taken away prematurely.

Liberty and death in this context are not mutually exclusive, my fellow Americans … if you get my drift.
