This is a totally self-indulgent post, and I’m trying to limit my time spent on it to the minutes between now and our church’s noon prayer meeting. Here’s the snarky, juvenile, just plain dumb meme from, I wasn’t surprised at all to see, Laura Ingraham, or, as I like to call her, the Loathsome Laura.
First let me parse out what this great piece of wit and wisdom is trying to say: that the libs are saying that people should not have a choice about wearing masks, but that these same people say that people should have a choice about having an abortion, so they (that is, the libs) are being inconsistent. Pretty deep, huh?
Let’s break this down a little.
First there’s the implication that it’s only the dastardly Democrats who are saying that people should wear masks, thus making a stupid partisan issue out of what should be a sober, scientific public-health concern. So now if you wear a mask you’re somehow on the side of the pro-abortion crowd.
May I point out the obvious? THE PURPOSE OF WEARING A MASK IS TO PROTECT OTHER PEOPLE FROM YOUR GERMS. It is therefore an action that is supposed to save lives. So when you try to equate choosing to wear a mask with choosing to have an abortion, you’re completely undercutting the point you’re trying to make, because the two things have completely opposite ends in mind.
Hey, prove you’re a real lover of liberty, light up a cigarette, and go around blowing smoke in people’s faces! That’ll show ‘em!
