Coronavirus Unmasks The Worst People In The World
I & I Editorial Board
March 25, 2020

There are no benefits to the COVID-19 pandemic. Let’s get that out of the way now. But it has shown many what a few of us already knew: The political left is filled with the worst people in the world.

Crises, we’ve been told, bring out the best in us. And often that’s true. We’ve seen this in our current situation. Some companies are donating protective masks and ventilators. Neighbors are offering help to each other. Major league sports professionals are providing financial support to workers who don’t have jobs to go to because games have been canceled. At least one grocery chain is donating as many as 6 million meals to those who have been hurt by the pandemic.

We’re also seeing just how low some can go:

    The Democratic leadership in Washington, led by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and New York Sen. Charles Schumer, is using the pandemic to try to further a “far-left agenda that has nothing whatsoever to do with the coronavirus pandemic.” Some of the items on the progressive dream list: gifts to unions, expanded wind and solar tax credits, and a $15 federal minimum wage.

    The propaganda ministry of the Democratic Party, manned by the majority of today’s “journalists,” wants to block live broadcasts of President Donald Trump’s daily media briefings from public view so it can manipulate the narrative, misrepresent what he said, and wallow in its Trump Derangement Syndrome.

    South Carolina Democrat and House Majority Whip James Clyburn considers the pandemic “a tremendous opportunity to restructure things to fit our vision.” He sees, no doubt, political society crushing civil society.

    The media have also tried to cripple Trump by attacking his use of “Chinese virus” even though they had liberally used the same phrase earlier.

    Global warming alarmists “have capitalized on the coronavirus outbreak to push climate change propaganda.” Some are “are celebrating the current economic downturn as just what is needed to avert climate catastrophe.” Others see the shutdowns across the world and are convinced that it can be done again, on a permanent basis, as a response to climate change.

    Fanatics who hate the freedom provided by automobiles are using “this time of panic to permanently seize some city streets and close them to motor vehicles.”

    The Los Angeles City Council, made up of 14 Democrats and a single Independent, apparently is itching to run businesses they don’t own during the economic crisis that is unfolding.

    Activists have used the outbreak to gin up support for forcing Americans into a socialist health care regime.

    Pelosi’s daughter apparently thinks that now is the time to publicly wish ill of a political opponent. It seems she wants COVID-19 to do what Sen. Rand Paul’s next-door-neighbor couldn’t in his 2017 blindside attack on the lawmaker — finish him.

    The mayor of Champaign, Illinois, issued an executive order that allows her to “ban the sale of firearms and ammunition as well as booze” due to the “coronavirus emergency.” This happened even when there were zero confirmed cases of coronavirus in the city of 87,500.

When the crisis is over, let’s not forget those who showed how loathsome they really are.

Thank you for you contributions Boss Queen.
I pass them on to die-hard Democrats, not to convert them.  That is hopeless.
But I do want to harass them and give them SOME sense of how terribly wrong they are.
It's the least any of us can, and should, do.

I have always thought the next civil war would be based on political ideology. 

Crisis political opprtunism has given our enemies an opportunity to get the first dozen or so shots off first.  Not saying this is the event that trigger it, but...........

There's just something in progressive ideology that attracts narcissists, psychotics, & sociopaths.

Arrogance, and its corollary, the lust to dominate and control others BECAUSE they are (they believe and tell you incessantly) smarter than you.  You're stupid, they're smart (they think, they claim, they repeat), and so they're always right.  So shut up you racist, sexist, misogynist, greedy anti-science homophobe.

There is something to that.

And we do shut up. And so will continue, to a point.

When that point is reached things will get interesting.

Evil is like that. Pride goeth before a fall, and the Greek word, diabolos, means "devil" or "slander."
You cannot have  discussion with a progressive without their changing the subject to you personally.
You're "stupid" and they're of course brilliant.  Slandering you and bearing false witness against you are sins,
as is the underlying theme of socialism/progressivism, covetousness. They want what you have and aim to take yours away
and redistribute it according to their perfect wisdom.

[Bigun]

Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites, — in proportion as their love to justice is above their rapacity, — in proportion as their soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and presumption, — in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves. Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.
