Michael Walsh posted his commentary “Americans, Choose
Freedom and Take Off the Mask” at The Epoch Times. Here’s the opening:
In the midst of an 8,000-mile car
trip around the formerly United—and now fractured—States of America, I
arrived in Southern California a couple of weeks ago, just in time to fall
victim to an indoor mask mandate jackbooted by Los Angeles County in the
interests of leftist conformity, virtue signaling, and general fascist
stupidity.
From New England, where my journey
started, to central Florida and back again, thence from the Northeast to the
Golden State by way of New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia,
Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona, my drive was
almost entirely mask-free, except for the occasional “Karen” sightings,
sporting their slave muzzles as badges of submissive honor. It wasn’t until I
got to Gallup, New Mexico, that masks and
their ugly companions, closed restaurants taped up like crime scenes, became
evident.
And then I got to Los Angeles—and
once again, here in sunny SoCal, I got a glimpse into America’s future, unless
we finally put an emphatic stop to this unconstitutional and irrational
madness. To put it in terms that even an Antifa progressive can understand, and
which conservatives need to adopt, we need to start resisting by any means
necessary.
The collapse of personal autonomy
and individual agency in the face of an onslaught of punitive,
soul-corroding COVID-19 restrictions has been perhaps the most
frightening and depressing development in modern American history. Given its
minuscule—barely a blip above normal—death toll, COVID-19 is as close to a hoax
as can be imagined. Advertised relentlessly as the second coming of the Black
Death, it is instead the New Coke of viral diseases.
The damage it has done, however, is
still considerable—not to the nation’s health but to its economy and, more
important, to its psyche. Our country of yeoman farmers began disappearing into
urbanism in the aftermath of the Civil War, but it was not until the twin
catastrophes of World Wars I and II that authoritarian collectivism began to
supplant personal initiative and liberty.
The postwar injection of Marxist
poison by the red-diaper scholars of the Frankfurt School into our educational system is now
serving to finish the transformation of our country into a third-rate, 1930s
socialist fantasy.
