Never Forget How Covid Controls Corrupted Independence Day

 For a couple centuries, Independence Day was a day for raising a ruckus with firecrackers and plenty of other friendly detonations.

We are still permitted to celebrate Independence Day but unfortunately, federal, state, and local governments routinely trample the rights that the Founding Fathers sought to make sacrosanct.

The Fourth of July in Washington has been going downhill ever since 9/11. In his first draft of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson scratched out the word "Subjects" and replaced it with "Citizens." But on Independence Day 2003, I wondered whether that had been an editing error.

Could Independence Day ever become more servile? "Hold my beer," announced Team Biden.

If people dutifully got vaccinated, Biden said, "There's a good chance you, your families and friends, will be [permitted] to get together in your backyard or in your neighborhood and have a cookout or a barbecue and celebrate Independence Day." Biden did not specify how many people would be permitted to consume hot dogs together before an FBI SWAT team commenced firing flash bang grenades.

On May 4, 2021, Biden announced that he wanted 70 percent of American adults to be vaccinated by Independence Day.

On June 2, Biden declared that people should "Exercise your freedom" to get vaccinated so Americans can enjoy a "Summer of freedom." On the day of the holiday, the Biden White House titled Biden's remarks as "Celebrating Independence Day and Independence from COVID-⁠19." Biden proclaimed that "We are closer than ever to declaring our independence from a deadly virus." Biden sounded like a high priest issuing a reprieve to his fearful flock: "We can live our lives."
