IN-PERSON VOTING
"There is a coordinated movement to abandon in-person voting for mail-in ballots. Some on the left are taking advantage of the pandemic to force a solution for a problem that does not exist and create conditions ripe for vote fraud."Democrats across the country are using COVID-19 as an excuse to send ballots to people who have not requested absentee ballots—both active and inactive voters on voting rolls that often have not been updated by removing relocated or deceased voters.
"New voting procedures pushed by Speaker Pelosi and some state leaders are clearly unnecessary from a public health perspective. If we can go to the grocery store, we can vote in person." Lori Roman, Townhall 6/5
TRUMP HATERS
"Of course, decent and civilized people must denounce the murder of George Floyd and any other despicable incidents of police brutality, but that doesn't mean losing our heads and condemning all police officers by the very same type of stereotyping and antipathy that lie at the root of racism. We are all individuals and must be accountable for our own behavior, not smeared by a broad brush of indiscriminate condemnation.
"Couldn't Trump's opponents, who constantly accuse him of dividing the nation, just once try to join him in combating these deadly menaces threatening our society -- the virus, the economic shutdown and the violence in our streets -- instead of always focusing their energy on destroying him?" David Limbaugh, Townhall 6/5
"But it was not Trump who divided America in this racial crisis. The nation was united in revulsion at the criminal cruelty that led to George Floyd's death. The nation was united in backing an enraged people's right to protest that atrocity.
"What divided America were the methods and means protesters began using in the first hours of the Minneapolis riot -- the attacks on cops with bottles, bricks and Molotov cocktails." Patrick Buchanan, Townhall 6/5
HIGH SOCIETY
"The biggest change is the highest-income echelon of our society -- where many political and other leaders reside -- does not have any clue what America is like. They don't understand Middle America, and they certainly don't understand lower-income America. This group flies private and lives in isolated cocoon communities; their social circles are defined, and their private clubs shelter them from the rest. They don't go to Disney World, and if they did, they would have private guides to escort them through, without lines and without dealing with the other visitors." Neil Patel, Townhall 6/5
The governors of New York and Pennsylvania have both encouraged the protests, saying that they don’t want to interfere with First Amendment rights. But the social-distancing rules they have both also heartily endorsed already interfere with the First Amendment; even in a giant cathedral it is illegal to gather more than ten people for a church service. How can any decent government give an endorsement to crowded protests featuring long periods of shoulder-to-shoulder chanting but still enforce rules excluding household members and close family from a funeral?
TYRANTS
"If public-health officials have quietly come around to the idea that outdoor transmission of the coronavirus is rare, and protests are safe, then they must inform the public of this fact, and urge governors to immediately reprioritize opening up the outdoors for larger gatherings. That they haven’t done so speaks volumes. With their endorsement of a protest they approve of as a legal exception — one imagines nationwide pro-life protests would not have been treated with the same kid gloves — they’ve made our governors and mayors into arbitrary tyrants. For months, they’ve been demanding previously unimaginable sacrifices of all of us. And it turns out, many of them didn’t even believe their own message. They have made a mockery of public health, revealing themselves as arbitrary, shallow, and ultimately tyrannical." Michael Brendan Dougherty, NRO, 6/6
SPECIAL INTEREST POLITICS
"Why do politicians who call themselves “liberal” adopt policies harmful to poor black families who are subject to their governance? Because they preside over a political system in which special interests deliver votes to politicians who do them favors. These favors almost always consist of increasing the income of the special interests at the expense of everyone else. Special interest politics is dog-eat-dog politics. Politicians who survive in it are those who are willing to take from Peter to give to Paul if Paul has more votes than Peter." John Goodman, Townhall 6/6
PROTESTORS
So OK, protesters. You won your battle. You stood up for justice and woke up the world to a problem that has existed for too long in our criminal justice system and needs to be solved ASAP. Now it's time for you to do something else for the good of your country. Get off the streets. Go home before your peaceful protests do us any more harm." Michael Reagan, Townhall 6/6
