Orange Man declared this virus a war on our country. Well, if that's true, you don't allow 50 individual state governors to decide the best strategy on how to defend the country during a national crisis. That kind of Herculean effort has to be managed at the federal level.
Can you imagine how WWII would have turned out if FDR went on the radio and declared, "Pearl Harbor has just been attacked by the Japanese! We are going to allow the individual state governors to decide for themselves on how to best manage this crisis! We will offer advice and some financial assistance, but this has to be managed by local governors, based on their state's needs!" War is war, be it traditional combat, cyber-attack or bio-warfare. When it threatens the entire nation, you don't leave it up to individual governors to decide the fate of our country.
The decision to ban teams from traveling outside of the state, or even their local region to play friendlies, should have been made 9 months ago. If not by the POTUS or state governors, then the governing bodies of those individual sports leagues. PGF, USA and Triple Crown should have issued a directive that "ANY team caught traveling out of state to play in an organized friendly during the middle of a global pandemic, will be banned from playing in ANY of their events for the next TWO years, period." That would have stopped a whole bunch of the nonsense that prolonged and worsened this pandemic for CA.
All American citizens made sacrifices during WWII, because they were genuine patriots that cared about the welfare of our nation. Our problem is that almost half of our population today has no sense of national patriotism or pride. It's all about them, and screw everyone else. They believe that wearing a mask is a slippery slope to communism. 310,000 dead Americans in less than a year from Covid, and it was all totally preventable. Competent government matters people. For the love of our children and future generations, let's learn from our mistakes this time and start taking government seriously. Merry Christmas!
This is especially true when the Dems in the HR were so focused on it as well....oh....that's right.....they were focused on a phony impeachment proceeding and endless, useless Trump phony investigations.....oh...and when they weren't doing THAT, they were encouraging people to go to China Town to celebrate and eat in their restaurants. You are funny and have no shame...no end to what crap you'll shovel.
You're right about the WWII Patriots. The country wasn't overun by Socialists and Communists during those days. They were all more like flyover America today.
Our number of dead is favorable comparable to other countries. The armchair QBs can sit back and dole out their usual amount of crap.....but in the end they wouldn't know $hit if their mouths were full of it. Bon apetite.
