Give me liberty from wearing a mask

A reminder of the words of a great patriot by the name of Patrick Henry.

"Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be paid for with chains and slavery? I know not what course others may take but as for me give me liberty or give me death."

Note: He did not say unless someone discovers a virus which has a 99.6% survival rate and in such case strip me of all my liberty, force everyone to get a vaccine which has been unproven and untested and made of tissue from unborn babies. Or strip me of my job, my right to travel and ban any effective treatment for the disease, install quarantine camps, digital IDs and require everyone to wear a diaper covering their mouth and nostrils.

He didn't say pay people to stay home and force them to pay higher prices for goods and services. And he certainly didn't say to dole out billions to the state and county governments making them paid prostitutes of the federal government which has no constitutional authority to get between you and your doctor in the first place.

For more information on this, do your research — unless of course you like being controlled and in such case pull your diaper up over your nose, breathe deep and do whatever you are told.
