Your writings are well done, but I just disagree with the conclusions, which are always a gripe to me. We all can find or invent problems with the other side", but we need to find ways to go forward. Thank you for hosting this and responding. We need thinking conservatives.
When the two week lockdown was declared in early March I was planning on a trip to St. Paul, MN to see a Minnesota United game and the opera Don Giovanni in the middle of May. I foolishly thought that this trip would still be on since it was a month and a half away. As it turned out I didn't see a United game live until the following summer and the Minnesota Opera will finally be doing Don Giovanni next May. There are people here (not many but a few) that are still wearing useless masks. I believe the virus is real but there wasn't much we could do about it. We'd either get it or we wouldn't. So far I don't think I have and I've been tested a couple of times. I only got vaccinated so I could go to London last January and see Chelsea beat Spurs. I did have to wear a mask to see some musicals but not for museums or Tower of London. Never thought that 2 1/2 years later we'd still be talking about this thing.
I think we'd still be in lockdown if Granny Maojackets had been President. She'd have found a way to declare martial law and cancel the election. OK maybe that's over the top but she'd have loved the authority to shut everything down and wouldn't give it up easily.
I did the football and opera double this past spring. The game was a draw with LA Galaxy but the opera was Carmen and it was superb. They apparently had the budget to hire top notch singers.
Please stop whining.
Every week. Same comment. Your definition of 'whining' is off. 😅

We need more thinking people in general.
I appreciate your dissents. Keep them coming.

Football and opera. A thinking man.
Not to be all tinfoil-hat, but the reaction would have been vastly different if a President Hillary Clinton was running for a second term.

Can't fault that, Terry. We've bought enough Italians for a little on-pitch opera, ourselves. Maybe we'll win a game this month...
I have my anti-lockdown receipts from the beginning.
It still boggles my brain.
Well said. The silver lining of post-tyranny hypocrisy is that it allows people to change their minds.
That silver lining is another piece in the works. Such madness woke many many people up!
Will be interesting to see exactly how many will truly become woke to this reality.
I know a good few liberals who've discovered and reverted to old-school ACLU liberalism of yore...
