Here are some highlights…
“…COVID didn’t crush the economy, government crushed the economy!”
“I don’t believe governors have the authority to tell you that your business is not essential.”
“We never focused on the case numbers, instead we kept our eye on hospital capacity.”
“Even in a pandemic, public health policy needs to take into account people’s economic and social well-being. Daily needs still need to be met.”
“How far will people go to enforce mask mandates? Once you start lock-downs, how long can you sustain them? We have to show people how arbitrary these restrictions are; and the coercion and force and the anti-liberty steps that governments take to enforce them. Often, the enforcement isn’t based on facts. Justifying these mitigation efforts has been anything but scientific.”
“No governor should ever arrest, ticket or fine people for exercising their freedoms.”
“These ideals (in our Declaration of Independence) cannot be dismissed as the opinions of flawed men. Our founders had their flaws, certainly. But to use those flaws to condemn their ideals and the greatest constitution the world has ever seen, is both unjust and self-defeating…” To attempt to cancel the founding generation, is an attempt to cancel our own freedom.”
“…conservatives must lead the nation away from borrowing from our children’s future. We must put an end to the accounting gimmicks used to deceive people…we will not be sheep!”
