The Corruption at the highest levels of gov't is getting pretty frightening.

Counter to what you state above, I find your response there to be the dumbest post I've seen in a long time.

So, if the above were true, according to you, then If One is NOT in jail OR toiling away in a Federal Prison camp, then One is NOT living in a totalitarian state?

This is Your Definition of a totalitarian state?

Hmm... I am aware of a lot of Chinese people who go to jobs every day of their lives, but still live in a totalitarian state.  

I am aware of a great number of North Koreans who go to their jobs every day, but still live in a totalitarian state.

We should send them a memo, using your definition of what constitutes a totalitarian state, and inform them they shouldn't worry too much.  

Now, you took my posting where I described my vision of a creeping totalitarian state (in some respects, and NOT ALL respects) and you decided to create your definition as the only definition.

Ok, then this is my take on your assertion above.  IF one disagrees with the omnipotent James Brown and thinks that the totalitarian state under Biden exists, in certain circumstances of life, well then they'd be wrong, because the Great Jim Brown has now defined what constitutes a totalitarian state.

Thank you for your usual arrogance.  wink

I'll make note of it, as it did not go unnoticed.  tongue

And I'm going back to work.  I've addressed a great deal of your idiocy. 

Enjoy your day.  
Nice dodge. 

You would be in jail in China or N. Korea because you write reams of content each and every day that is highly critical of the government and post it on a public forum.  The United States under Biden is nowhere near a totalitarian state like N. Korea or others.  We enjoy immense freedoms from government control here.  Your actual statement, as quoted above, is indefensible.

Remember that, even when RINOs mock you for saying it.

They just aren't bright enough to recognize what is coming down the pike. 

And don't kid yourself that the Democrat politicians aren't testing the waters either. 

They definitely are.

Next on the list, FORCING you to vaccinate your children against your will.

This is YOUR country. 

They work for YOU, not the other way around.  smile

Fighting against the machine is tough, and the Left loves Big Gov't. They Love Gov't more than they do their own freedom.

And the RINOs?

They always come around when it is too late. 

They  (these Arrogant RINOs) gave you Joe Biden and the totalitarian mindset that the Leftist Democrats now enjoy, telling you how you're going to act, how many masks you have to wear, how to chew your food for God sakes, and what rules THEY make that YOU MUST FOLLOW, and the ones they don't have to follow because THEY are the RULING CLASS and they are omnipotent, while you EXIST To SERVE THEM.

That's something I wanted to get off my chest today.  grin
Do you realize that vaccine mandates were first ruled constitutional and perfectly legal in 1905?  That's 116 years ago, comrade Rich.  The government can also prohibit your kids from attending public school if they are not vaccinated.  Same as it has been virtually forever, under all types of administrations and state and local governments. 

Apparently, you would argue that the US has been a totalitarian dictatorship since 1905.  Good luck with that.

Besides, your thread did not start about vaccine safety. Instead, it was about whether or not vaccine mandates meant we have a tyrannical government. What Jim and I both are showing you is that vaccine mandates have a long and varied history in our country, and yet they have never made us tyrannical.
Not only that James, I am convinced that Richard also thinks the mRNA vaccines are safe - not perfectly safe of course there will be some who experience side effects, but the number of bad reactions is dwarfed by the 100s of thousands of lives being saved.  Richard knows this.  He is simply arguing the safety side-issue as a distraction because he also knows that the US, even under Biden, is no where near what any rational persons would identify as a totalitarian state or a near-totalitarian state.  

Recall that his original statement that started all of this was:  "We are no longer living in a free republic.  We are living under totalitarian Biden administration rule."

This was hogwash when Rich posted it, and he know that it is indefensible.  Hence all the deflection to vaccine safety, etc.  Jim

This vaccine is pretty much still in experimental stages. 

You haven't the vaguest of what the outcome will be down the road, especially for children.

Conversely, do you realize that the MMR vaccine was tested for 12 years, before it was made mandatory in the school?

Why do you think they TESTED it for 12 years before giving it to children everywhere? 

Now a number of Scandinavian countries have outlawed the vaccine for children as they are seeing increased rates of Myocarditis in children after having the 2nd shot.

Why do you think that is?  Entrall us all here with your scientific theory Doctor.  

Explain the medical science of what is inordinately occurring to children after the 2nd shot, to me and the rest of us here Dr. Jim, which appears to be causing high rates of myocarditis in adolescent children and then give us all here your expertise as to why these vaccines should be forced on children, when the risk of dying from the disease itself is almost non-existent in children when they get it.

Inform us all of what is happening at the cellular level in children Dr. Brown.  

Provide us with your scientific theory and your medical expertise good Doctor.   

Give us your expertise on the reason you think that it needs to be given to children.  wink

P.S. and while you're at it Dr. Brown, why don't you give us all a refresher course as to what THALIDOMIDE did to developing children in the womb back in the 1960s when they gave it to pregnant women here in the US.  Do you remember all the children born without limbs because brilliant men like you said to these pregnant mothers "take this thalidomide for your morning sickness Mrs. Brown".

Don't worry, all is ok with this drug.

Talk to the Canadians who kept prescribing it.
Rich, consider a cost/benefit analysis for the vaccines.  Benefits are easy, lives saved, social restrictions dropped, economy re-opened.  The benefits are in my opinion almost incalculably huge.  The costs are some bad reactions in some cases.  I think the benefits vastly outweigh the costs for society as a whole.  What do you think?

p.s.  Lest you go off on a tangent, I fully support the right of folks like Greg to choose not to get vaccinated.  I'm talking about costs and benefits on a society wide scale.

Hi Greg:

Seems like pretty good data, although notwithstanding Richard's taunts, I'm not that qualified to parse through it for inconsistencies or overstatements.  (I am qualified to say that we do not live in a totalitarian state, not that you ever said we did  cool  That was some else!)

In any case, I'm reasonably convinced that natural immunity is a real benefit, for a period of time after the infection.  Same with vaccine induced immunity - it has an expiration date because this sort of virus mutates quite quickly.

So, I wonder whether we, (A) with some luck in the mutation lottery, and with some residual immunity, will see less damaging forms of this disease in future years, causing most folks to ignore the annual shot - or (B) whether the next several years will see extraordinary high death rates among the elderly and compromised plus serious illness in enough of the rest of us, that more and more folks get an annual vaccination, maybe along with their flu shot.   I can see it going either way, depending on how serious the illness becomes in each subsequent year.

And now you are going on, and on, and on....   Ha, Ha!   LOL  tongue

Now, I'll simply ask, who went off on a tangent? Does he have the initials JB??    wink  smile
Correct, it is safe for most people - as you acknowledge.  Implicit is the huge societal benefit.  Which is why I think your arguing a point that you don't actually believe.  Beats arguing that the US is a totalitarian state I guess.

By the way, my posts are pretty concise, compared to some.  Jim

Biden was not president when we were wearing masks to flatten the curve.  Also, I don't recall anyone saying "2 weeks" back in March 2020.  Jim

Actually, Rich agrees with the 74% majority that the social measures and vaccines are highly effective.   But Rich, and far too many others, vociferously talk down the highly effective social measures and vaccines because politicians they hate advocate for the measures and vaccines.

Then why did you say:  "Is there any more bullshit you'd like to feed us today, President Biden and company?"
