The arrogance of the far left never ceases to astound me. These people have such a high opinion of themselves that they think they can run your life better than you can.

They want to control everything and seem to think they can spend your money better than you can, as they want to tax everything.

Their philosophy is so elitist it must be very frustrating to them when so many working people find them so unappealing.

Those on the far left seem to believe they are so smart that they become very offended, even angry when so many people refuse to bow down to their dictates.

This control freak anger has been seen most clearly in recent months over demands by those on the left for everyone-and I do mean everyone-to take the Covid vaccine.

I am not against any vaccine, and my late wife and I had Moderna vaccinations last February.

But I am strongly opposed to forcing people to take any vaccine against their will. And it is clearly forcing them to be jabbed if they are made to choose between a vaccination or the loss of their job.

We have never had to force the general public to take vaccinations in the past and should not be doing so now if this is still a free country.

I have had two very close friends who have told me the coronavirus hit them harder than anything they have ever been through. One almost died.

Many very intelligent people do not want the vaccine, either because they have already had the virus and thus have built up immunity or because they have done extensive research.

The Carnegie Mellon-University of Pittsburgh survey of one million people found that the most vaccine-hesitant group was people with Ph.D.’s.

Robert Malone, the inventor of mRNA technology from which these vaccines are derived, has come out strongly against the vaccinations.

The Oxford University Medical Sciences Team said a person who has had the covid vaccination carries in his or her nose a viral load 251 times that of an unvaccinated person.

NPR reported in late August that “Israel was the first country on earth to fully vaccinate a majority of its citizens against covid-19. Now it has one of the world’s highest daily infection rates.” Almost every other highly vaccinated country has seen the same thing.

Steve Kirsch, a high-tech, mega-millionaire with two degrees from MIT, has done a detailed analysis and says such a low percentage of covid deaths are reported to our VAERS system that he says 200,000 people have been killed by the vaccines.

He is so confident of his study that he has offered one million dollars to any university that can prove he is wrong and another million to any public official who will debate him. No takers thus far.

Columnist Paul Craig Roberts wrote on October 11: “Never in history has a vaccine associated with even a tiny fraction of deaths as the mRNA vaccine been permitted to remain in use.”

He added that “tens of thousands of doctors, nurses, medical professionals, and scientists who dissent from the covid protocol being imposed” have had their voices “suppressed” by a coalition of Big Pharma ($billions$) and Big Government (power and control freaks).

John and Nisha Whitehead of the Rutherford Institute wrote on October 13 that covid lockdowns and vaccine mandates have stripped us of our “freedom of movement and bodily integrity.”

They added: “Yet as egregious as these incursions on our rights may be, it’s the endless petty tyrannies—the heavy-handed, punitive-laden dictates inflicted by a self-righteous, big-brother-knows-best bureaucracy on an overtaxed, overregulated and underrepresented populace that illustrates so clearly the degree to which ‘we the people’ are viewed as incapable of common sense, moral judgement, and intelligence….”
