Deborah Georgatos’s article at American Thinker about the “Great
Mistake” provides an excellent summary of the lockdown; she is outraged:
America’s Great Shutdown started with The
Great Mistake. Vital lessons must emerge from both, and propel the
reopening of America, rooted in the “only normal” for America, the promise of
liberty.
Ms. Georgatos goes through many of
the topics that have been posted on this blog to question the lockdown:
faulty models, inflated projections, inadequate and misreported
statistics, medical “experts” with an agenda, and so on. The consequent policies
have been catastrophic:
This Great Shutdown at the hands of
governors and elected and non-elected officials has destroyed the economy,
large and small businesses, and the economic security of individuals and
families. It has launched an unprecedented avalanche of unemployment claims and
unsustainable federal “bailout” spending. It has emboldened petty tyrants with
dubious authority but mountain-sized swagger to issue ‘orders’ that control the
lives and movements of American citizens.
. . .
. . .the most devastating
consequence of the Great Shutdown caused by the Great Mistake is the loss of
liberty.
Or more precisely, the loss of
the presumption that as Americans we have the right to live in
liberty. If we concede liberty can be taken away for an unspecified and
unlimited period of time in order to “keep us safe” from any future virus or
other threats, we will never have liberty again. There will always be another
virus, another threat, another expert advocating shut down.
. . .
It is beyond ironic that the
miserable economy, massive unemployment, and devastating loss of freedom is
happening only two months after the best economy, record-setting employment,
and the palpable, energized sense of American freedom and greatness that marked
the first three years of the Trump presidency. That booming economy grew out of
returning to our roots in freedom.
Let’s change course, correct the
Great Mistake, and move past the Great Shutdown. Let’s re-open a Great
Economy based on trust in American liberty. Let’s restore liberty as the “Only Normal”
for America.

It would be difficult to fault President Trump for calling
on well-known medical experts to advise him at the ouset.
Few would expect a President to have medical expertise himself. But where I would fault President Trump is sticking with policies when it became obvious they were based on
bad advice. Perhaps he has a strategy
that I cannot see, but it is difficult to imagine that he would knowingly put
the country through such agony.
At this
point, if you are concerned about the slow-walking of the Ohio lockdowns “ordered”
by Comrade DeWine, then let your concerns be known:
