The most basic principle of the United States of America has nothing to do with capitalism, or democracy, or even freedom. The essential concept upon which the nation was founded, and upon which we still stand is the dignity of every person.
“All men are created equal,” Jefferson wrote. No prince of high blood or master of riches has more innate value than any other Americans. But as we watch celebrities, at the Met Gala, at the Emmys, frankly wherever they gather, galavanting maskless while the help hide their faces we cannot feel fidelity to this timeless ideal.
No. Clearly these celebrities, many of whom take every opportunity to harangue us about trusting science and following the rules, are as George Orwell put it, “more equal.” This is something that no American should stand for.
It is a betrayal of everything we should be and everything we should stand for. COVID has become an excuse for the special flowers of our society to create a caste system, in which their faces smile under their pancake powder and make up while the little people labor under masks.
Of late some on the left have insisted that those who resist the COVID restrictions and protocols should be shamed and shunned.
Well, let’s talk about shame for a minute. What else should a person feel when they insist that those who serve them live under a different set of demanding and demeaning rules? What should a person feel when they sip champagne all night in packed maskless crowds while children as young as 2 have to wear a face covering all day? Shame seems to be the right term.
Americans are not by nature a jealous people. We do not begrudge the rich their luxuries. After all, those of more modest means have our own pleasures. Whether in the society pages of the 20th century or the TMZ of the 21st we watch bemused as the right sort of people stumble through their rehabs and divorces and petty scandals. But what we cannot abide is a legal or social system that gives the elites a different set of rights, a different set of freedoms.
Take New York City’s mandate that all patrons of an entertainment venue must show a vaccine card. It comes with a curious exemption, as all of these capricious rules seem to. The celebrity entertainers and their entourages need not show proof of the jab. Rather the rest of us, those of us who don’t really matter, must produce our vaccine cards to ensure the health and welfare of our betters.
Either wearing a mask matters or it doesn’t. Presumably COVID doesn’t care who does or doesn’t have an Emmy.
Furthermore, we have been told again and again that masking is less about protecting oneself and more about protecting others around us.
Well, you know those elitists are far more “sophisticated” than the rest of us. They wouldn’t be caught DEAD spreading a commoner’s disease like COVID. Will any getting sick be refused health care because they ignored those oh, so necessary mask mandates or if any of them haven’t been vaccinated? Would any leftist support such punishment? Of course not and, of course not.
Once again, the hypocrisy of the left is totally exposed, not only of those most vocal about the necessity of wearing masks but also those who constantly drone on about the selfishness of those who won’t wear their beloved face diapers.
But, they just don’t understand; the masks f**k up the make up! They are all there so their pretty, botoxed, professionally restored faces can be viewed by the great unwashed! How can we sate our appetites for worshiping their beauty and eliteness?
demorat gathering are major super spreaders. dumblagio (this is his 3ed AKA) of nyc is a true communist and race baiter. he and gov. newsom compete for a**hole of the year award at the next emmy’s. Lincoln tried to end the caste system of racist in this country, fdr reignited the flames of racisms, King tried to smolder this rising genocide of racism, the gay muslin terrorist obama preached preached and encouraged the re-segregation and reintroduction of this caste system via the black domestic terrorist groups in this country, and the demented, moronic, KKK member (yes joey is), completely anti-Semitic pedophile embracing the wokeness of racism and encourages civil disorder.
Democrat gatherings a super spreaders of ignorance, racism and hate.
Most all Award Shows are rigged to favor the most far left have you ever noticed that most all movies that win Best Picture Oscar are never seen or heard from again mostly because they bombed in the box office
