Walz’s False Freedom
Story by The Editors • 21h •


In accepting the Democratic vice-presidential nomination, Minnesota governor Tim Walz tried to present himself as a sort of Mister Rogers type whom everybody should want as their neighbor. But in the weeks ahead, that image will have to contend against a record that includes a history of fabrication and radicalism.
 
In his speech, Walz tried to portray Democrats as a laissez-faire party. He claimed that in Minnesota, “We respect our neighbors, and the personal choices they make, and even if we wouldn’t make those same choices for ourselves, we’ve got a golden rule: ‘Mind your own damn business!’”

But as governor, he imposed among the most draconian Covid restrictions in the nation and even set up a hotline for residents to rat out neighbors who weren’t following his social-distancing rules.

In Walz’s twisted moral universe, “Mind your own damn business!” isn’t actually about letting neighbors make their own choices, it is a justification for the unfettered ability to kill unborn babies.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
