Please don’t misunderstand my comment. Our leaders are making difficult decisions in difficult circumstances and we need to pray for them. My comments are more about how people have reacted. How willingly freedoms are being given up just to feel safe.  How many freedoms are people willing to give up in order to feel safe about any national foe, whether COVID-19 or the next threat?
A sense of social responsibility has entered our culture like I have never witnessed. Have you seen mask wearers at the grocery store look condescendingly at the non-mask wearers?  There seems to be a new breed developing of those who choose the good of the collective state and feel a sense of righteousness for their views and choices. If this choice of the collective over individual freedoms continues unstopped, we will be headlong into socialism and not even realize it.

This super social responsibility is fueling a perceived obligation that government is our ONLY provider for safety.  Christians who have a biblical worldview (and many don’t) should question the unchecked willingness of people to obey any authority other than the God of the Bible.

Covid-19

~ Randy Harris ~ 1 Comment

My initial response back at the very beginning of this virus was as it is now.  It is real, but not as contagious or deadly as the MSM or democratic socialist would lead one to believe.  At the start I commented on Facebook and one of my friends from high school yelled at me for my lack of concern and lack of intelligence.  I simply stated that the virus would basically hit the aged and infirm much harder than the general population.  As time has gone on I have been proven right.  We will never know the actual body count that covid-19 has taken.  The virus must be conservative because it is blamed for almost every death.  Remember over 99% over those infected get over it with little or non emergency attention needed.  I speculate that I might have had this virus back in late December.  Terrible cough so bad I would have to get up and walk to catch my breath and a fever for at least a day, possibly more.  No, I didn’t seek medical help, I dislike Doctors very much.  Must be my age and southern farm boy mentality.  Besides the Lord is with me.  Actually didn’t feel all that bad outside of severe cough and fatigue.  Back to my point, we have shut down small businesses that are the cornerstone of our economy. Retirement plans have taken a hit and the free spirit of America is being destroyed little by little.  

 

What to do?  Fight back and resolve to reopen America.  One rebellious act at a time.  Go outside, take your mask off and live free!   Enjoy the sunshine, visit your friends.  America we have been duped!
May the Lord God of heaven and earth keep you safe.  Freedom is not Slavery.

My Intentions

In writing or posting on this blog I try to inform people on current issues or people in the news, or topics that are up front in peoples’s minds.  That is one reason I post from different web pages or blogs.  I want different perspectives and analysis.  Thanks for following.  I hope you enjoy.

Rules for Radicals

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which),” Alinsky said, “the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”  written by Saul Alinsky (Obama’s ghost writer)

Maybe while we are sheltered in place, or should I say told by government officials to not leave our house, we should read more of how governments take control of our lives through fear.

Yes there is a virus, yes people die, but is the cure worse?  Over 20 million lost jobs, billions lost by hard wording people who invested in the market for retirement through 401k funds, small business nearing bankruptcy and the abnormal fear which is killing this country.  All for what, recent studies have shown over 80% of those with the virus either have no symptoms or very light issues and don’t even seek medical attention.  On top of that what if millions more have had the virus, which I believe I did in late December, that alone would drop the mortality rate well below the flu.  It’s time to end this.  Outside of some hot spots, re opening the country is the sane thing to do.

 

What Happened

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

I was born in the 1950’s.  

I graduated High School during a turbulent time in American history. Vietnam  war hippies, flower children, drug abuse, death and total distrust for Government and politicians.  Distrust for any over the age of 30. Feeling that my generation would change the world.

We didn’t!

Why?

We became the world.  

We grew up, had families, got jobs and blended into the culture.  We became just what we had earlier despised. No worries, we all do it.  Where are those rebels now? Why is it so easy to trust people with an agenda?  Why do we trust when it takes our freedoms away? Why do we walk lockstep the party line without question and them become informants for the “ruling class”?  Lines are being blurred between liberty and the good of all. What will we look like as a society when this crisis is over. Can we go back to normal? What happens when the next crisis hits?  Listen close, that sound you hear just may be the beginning cracks of our Constitution.

Rebels without a cause become sheep.
