Liberals on Twitter were beside themselves after Tucker Carlson said on his show Monday that it’s time for the tables to turn and for normal people to start lashing out at the pandemic hysterics who push masks and shame anyone who goes out to do something fun.
He’s right. I said the same thing weeks ago. The real scandal should actually be what Gloria Borger said the next morning on CNN.
“They’ve decided that they have to show people that there’s a reward if you get vaccinated,” she said of government health officials in the Biden administration, “that there are things you can do that you could not do before. … They’re saying, ‘Look at this, there’s a new sense of freedom for you because you’ve done the right thing and gotten vaccinated.'”
It shows how far we’ve fallen. That anybody in America, a person in the news media no less, would actually talk this way should shock the conscience of everyone. Freedom is not a reward. It’s a right.
I know that panic-stricken liberals are on standby, eagerly waiting to be told what they “can do” by Saint Anthony Fauci and others in government. But at least half the country is not comfortable living that way, and many of them already aren’t. They haven’t forgotten that they have rights. They believed it was understandable, for a time, to listen to “the experts” who said it would be helpful to don a mask (even two), isolate themselves, and postpone anything that resembles fun. But that time has come and gone.
And the nags who have assumed the moral high ground, pestering people about masks and “social distancing,” have run out the goodwill and courtesy that some of us extended.
Most people want to be left alone. Their tolerance for being hectored by strangers and government employees isn’t what it used to be. That’s what Carlson was saying, and if getting it through these peoples’ heads that they’re not in charge anymore means getting obnoxious and aggressive about it, then maybe we should.
After all, they started it.
