IN THE AGE OF COVID-19
IN THE AGE OF COVID 19 AND THE PROGRESSIVE AND
REPRESSIVE GOVERNMENT OF THE USA: NO LONGER FREE ZONE
The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America states:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
The First Amendment to the US Constitution states:
“Congress shall make no law respecting establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Is it me, or are there some people who have decided that they can deny us our rights as laid out above? On March 13, 2020 President Donald Trump declared that the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States constituted a national emergency, beginning March 1, 2020. He chose to do this to protect the people of this country from non-citizens wanting to enter. He then instructed the state and US territory governors to issue their individual COVID-19 emergency orders, recognizing that each one would need to base their orders on the severity of COVID-19 in their states. As of September 24, 2020, all state and US territory emergency orders are still active. What happened to “15 days to flatten the curve?” Here we are, more than 6 months later, and we are still being “held captive” by well-meaning governors (Some are well-meaning; others, not so much.) In the meantime, in most states and US territories we are:
>Being denied the freedom to visit loved ones in the hospital
>Being denied the freedom to visit loved ones in nursing homes
>Being denied the freedom to accompany loved ones to a doctor’s visit Being denied the freedom to go to church
>Being forced to limit the number of people at funerals and weddings
>Being forced to limit the number of people who can occupy our businesses, IF our businesses are even allowed to be open!
>Being told that we MUST wear a mask and stay 6’ apart from other people
This list doesn’t even begin to include all of the regulations that have been imposed on United States citizens without a law being passed to do so.
WE ARE NO LONGER FREE
We are losing our Constitutional rights because of fear, misinformation, and blindly putting our trust in government entities that do not deserve it, nor do they have the right to impose these restrictions. We see our natural rights and freedoms, like privacy, expression, and the right to provide for our own welfare, being whittled away. As bad as this is now, imagine what it would be like in the future if our lives are being controlled by those who think Socialism is a good idea?!?!?
[See 2020 elections and first 7 months on going.]
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to stop being sheep. Seek the Lord’s wisdom concerning these issues and boldly take a stand against the dark forces that are controlling our country. “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Eph. 6:12
Thank God we have a great President who cares deeply for this great country and its citizens. We pray for this President. The media wants us to walk in fear but our President is a fighter and the country will continue on with business as usual! God bless President Trump, the First Lady and all others effected by Covin-19.
