He wants Chinese Christians to abandon Christianity to worship himself. Typical totalitarian thug.

No Mask Mandate

Mr. X,  if you knew me, you would not label me as selfish and inconsiderate. I love this country and fear the fascism occurring in the name of public safety. For 100 years Democrats and Leftists have been growing and extending the reach of the State. Now, governors can order healthy, able adults to wear masks in public places or be fined. Wearing a mask or not is a voluntary choice, personally chosen. Government has not right to mandate such compliance. It is illegal and unconstitutional, and Walz should be brought up on criminal charges. Fools like you do not realize how rare and blessed Americans are to enjoy real liberty under our constitutional republican system. You are so meek, conformist and cowardly that you are willingly, cheerfully submitting to mandates issued from on high by Papa Walz. Enjoy his tyranny. I will fight it as hard as I can.

Would You Like To

Ben Dorr, Would you like to hire a lawyer and take up a collection to sue Walz over his abuse of his fascist powers regarding his mask-wearing mandate in public? Can you write one of your form emails for us to send to our senators and representatives to tell them to vote to remove his emergency powers?

Out Of Options

There are times in life when you are hitting a brick wall repeatedly. You seem to be out of options. I would advise two responses. Have you been imaginative enough to discover or uncover a way to break through the obstacle, a recourse that is workable?

You may just want to give up and walk away, as long as the surrender is over something not that meaningful to you, or is not a moral dilemma. If it is one or both of the latter, then you must do your best according to your values,, even if you are defeated, it is honorable.

Makeshift Life

Do not drift through life without a plan of action, a goal or set of goals that you are working towards. The makeshift life is not worth living.

The Constitution

No, I think gay marriage is unconstitutional. Marriage is between a man and woman only. Civil unions for gays are fine. The Left have gutted the constitutionalism and originalism that made this country so great. Since FDR, the courts have deconstructed and deliberately misinterpreted the Constitution in order that they can grow the State. I do not like abortion but it should be legal but rare. I think women breastfeeding in public is no one's business, but I do think a woman covering herself with a shawl while doing so is just decorous behavior and good taste. As a rule, I want the government small, limited and out of our lives as much as possible.

First Principle

For Leftists, first principle is that government is good, benevolent and should be quite active in the lives of its citizens, passing laws and regulations and statutes that intrude into every aspect of their public and private lives. My political axiom is that ordered liberty is the optimal social and legal structure to maximize for each citizen the pursuit of life, liberty, happiness and property. A corollary to this axiom is that government is inherently evil and bad, that its in-power and empowered elites, addicted by and corrupted by power and craving ever more of it. It is a political law of physics: the larger the government, the smaller the individual. The more that government on any level amasses power to itself, the less powerful, the less free, and the more limited is the individual's ability to assert his expression of his natural rights in his private life, in a state of ordered liberty. Government is a evil but a necessary evil, that must be kept limited and small. Progressives are way too bold, reckless, fast, thoughtless and eager to pass ever more and more laws restricting personal liberty, until a soft dictatorship is installed here. Government should never have been involved in or have banned smoking in bars, and public buildings. The size and involvement of government in America should be about as involved in public life as was the state in America before Woodrow Wilson erroneously took us down this socialist path.
