• Mandatory Covid Vax

    From Aaron Thomas@1:275/99 to All on Sat Jan 28 15:34:52 2023
    I recently was advised that the NY state senate is considering a law to
    require covid 19 vaccines for children attending school. They want to tie it
    in with the standard MMR set of vaccinations.

    The outlook is bleak: We've got a democrat-led assembly, a democrat-led
    senate, and a far-left extremist democrat for governor.

    What's this mean for good ol' Aaron?

    My kids will take covid-19 vaccines over my dead body. If they're no longer allowed to attend public school, then I'll have no choice but to transplant
    the family to a better state.

    But which state would be the safest one to escape tyannical Democrat control?

    Florida or South Dakota, I guess.

    I guess I can offer you the same advice that many Republicans gave me between 2016 and 2020:

    "Don't like it? Leave the country"

    Florida or South Dakota, I guess.

    Despite my correction, I'm still under constant threat of ridiculous Democrat policy, and today I was looking at the Trump-Biden map for hints about where
    to go, and the nearest Republican state is Vermont, but that state doesn't
    have much of a solid history of having a Republican governor.

    Google says "Wyoming" is the most Republican state, but I'd rather go to South Dakota because they have had nothing but Republican governors since at least 1979. That's something to be proud of, and for now, I'll at least start visiting South Dakota to get a feel for how things are there.

    That's excellent advice, but it's hard to trust a foreign country's government more than I'd trust a Republican-led state government.

    Canada does stuff right. They don't do a fraction of the idiotic stuff that
    the USA does. But part of that story, is that they don't let just anyone walk into their country, they actually handle their migration similar to the way Trump was handling the USA's migration (looking for hard workers, legal migration status, only the best, border actually enforced, etc.)

    Political disagreement is one thing; forcing unproven substances into kids under threat of deprivation of public services is another. I live in NY and share the other poster's concern.

    "Don't like it? Leave the country"

    The difference is that there are countries, like Canada and several
    European countries, where a Democrat or Leftist could go and get what they want. It worked out great for Meghan Markle, for example. She moved to Canada, kept making dough from her US TV acting gig, then met a prince and is set for life.

    Some who are really hard core could even move to China and get what they
    want.

    I know a few who have not gone so extreme and simply moved to California.
    They seem to be enjoying it.

    So Demcrats and Lefist can do that and do well. Difference is they enjoy making Republicans miserable more than they actually want what they say
    they want. That would half-explain other Democrats and Leftists who have
    left my area to move to Florida or Texas, where they spend a lot of time on Facebook complaining even more loudly than they used to.

    There are few free coutries left, so "leave" is not at all good advice for a Republican. Those that are religiously conservative would have even a
    harder time as the countries that are as conservative as they are would
    require them to convert to a different religion.

    Not to mention their universal healthcare, fairly strict firearms laws, paid sick leave, paid parental leave, abortion rights, legalized marijuana, and a whole mountain of other rights/laws that the conservatives here get very, very upset about.

    So instead those regligious conservatives want to demand that the USA curtails the freedom of everyone who does not think like they do by enacting the evangelical version of Sharia Law.

    Everybody is different. I don't care about any of those issues that you've mentioned. I'd be willing to live under those conditions. But Canada doesn't have an open invitation for Americans who want to evade science
    experimentation on their children.

    That's why I've said that this isn't a "right vs. left" or a "Democrat vs. Republican" fight. Those labels are just smoke for what the real battle is.

    We are in a fight against the Ignorant Elitists who believe that they can run your life better than you and want to tell you how to live - so that they can do what they want. "You'll own nothing and be happy."

    I don't particularly like that idea, either, as I believe in religious
    freedom. Unlike Democrats and Leftists, there are no other current
    countries where they'd fit in any better. They'd have to convert to Islam
    to find a place so conservative, and most of them don't seem to like
    Muslims much, despite them also being sons of Abraham.

    Now, if they were to become the first colonist of a new Martian Republic...

    Sharia law is allowed in London. So why not in America? Our own US
    Constitution clearly states there should be "no religious test" - so
    what's your problem?

    Now, if they were to become the first colonist of a new Martian Republic...

    No little green men from Mars, please.
    Women from Venus, maybe. But not those greenies
    who have always been nothing but trouble.

    For Life,
    Lee
