Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Morons, All The Way Down

 So, let me see if I've got this right. Texas gubnor, Greg Abbott, opposes the state mandating vaccines, so he's issued a mandate banning vaccine mandates? What's interesting is that a majority of Americans support vaccine mandates. Once again, we see how the Republican Party has become captivated by it's dumbest members. I would doubt very, very few prominent Republicans are unvaccinated, but they are so pants-pissing afraid of their own voters that they won't embrace basic public health measures.

We may very well have passed the worst of it, but I'm sure we've all felt that way before. We are closing in on 66% of the population being vaccinated, and hopefully the vaccination of children will get us over the 75% mark, so we can have a normal life again.

It's just shocking that we have a major political party embracing climate change denialism regressive tax policy barely coded racism pro-mass shootings forced birth laws attacks on universal health care plans that would prolong a global pandemic.
