Where are you getting this information from? You very well may be right. But I would expect proof before believing these types of allegations.

I don't care if they all get it, frankly. Let them have it. Ravage Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, South Carolina. Go to church, have revivals, get healed from Corona, lol.

Have a bleach and tonic- the President says it 'might be good, let's check on that'.. Just do it.

Can't you please stop thinking about yourself for just a moment. Our fellow americans are dying. Our healthcare workers are overwhelmed and dying as well because they don't have the necessary PPE. Our funeral homes are overwhelmed. There are refrigerated trucks to keep dead bodies. And here you are worried about your rights. You are the one who is is not a true american. True americans help there fellow man.

Yup, no way us black people could ever succeed in America. We blacks are helpless victims destined for poverty and welfare who need rich old white politicians to legislate us up the social ladder.

African immigrants to the US are among the most educated groups in the United States. Some 48.9 percent of all African immigrants hold a college diploma. This is more than double the rate of native-born white Americans, and nearly four times the rate of native-born African Americans

Gee, kind of hard to be a victim when there are blacks with funny accents and darker skin who are highly educated and prosperous in America.

There are no lack of opportunities unless you’re lazy.

I support the right of the people to have their civil liberties respected. You support authoritarian government telling them what rights they can have and cannot have. If the people stand up against authoritarianism then you support the governments right to shoot them.

Some of us are already primed to live under a dictatorship. Anyone who believes as this poster does really does not deserve to be an American.

Open carry is permitted in Michigan. The protestors broke no laws and, to my knowledge, threatened no one.

Can you please stop thinking about how to tell more people how to live, what they can and cannot say, what guns they can and cannot own and how much wealth it is fair for them to possess. I am so tired of leftists telling us how think, feel and what to say. We are free people and we owe nothing to the “feelings” of a leftist. You use this virus as a club to beat us with....we do net care, we are selfish etc. We are done listening to this rhetoric. This is not the Black Death. You people have destroyed the country for nothing and now conveniently socialism waits in the wings to save the day. That was the plan all along. The real reasons for the lockdowns has to do with paving the way for socialism.

I will continue to selfishly gaurd my freedom. I would however gladly and selflessly give my life to defend everyone’s freedoms. Nothing is more precious to an American than freedom. I’m not sure you would understand that however.

So start making PPE. Be part of the solution. You don't win a fight by complaining about it.
