1. There is a sadly true adage, that Liberal governance has only two dimensions: either banning or mandating.
Democrats/Liberals/progressives.....these are not people who embrace liberty, freedom, individualism.


2. Which brings us to the mandating of masks.
The Democrats may not know whether masks work or not, but they don't care. It's simply about making the populace bend the neck and the knee to their power.
I was surprised and pleased to learn of a restaurant in Huntington Beach, California which does not allow masks. DOES NOT ALLOW MASKS!!!!

"HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. — California’s COVID-19 industry guidelines require face covering at most businesses that have been allowed to reopen. Restaurants are no exception.

What You Need To Know
  • Basilico’s Pasta e Vino employees do not wear face coverings
  • They have an anti-mask policy
  • The restaurant has also always offered in-restaurant dining
  • The Huntington Beach restaurant has not changed how it does business during the pandemic

However, customers and employees of Basilico’s Pasta e Vino do not wear face coverings. The Huntington Beach restaurant said nothing has changed about how they do business during the pandemic – including a no-mask policy.

“Definitely not. Uh, only if you’re ugly,” bartender Josh Miller said.

Miller has worked at Basilico’s Pasta e Vino since 2017. Since mid-March, when the state first shut down non-essential businesses, Basilico’s has stayed open.
They have also always offered in-restaurant dining.
All along, the restaurant has stuck to their stance on masks. They are not allowed at Basilico’s.

A red circle with a line drawn through it on top of a black and white graphic of a face with a mask on it is on display in the windows of the restaurant. The dining spot even remind customers of its no-mask policy with a play on a famous line from the movie The Godfather."



3. "We can see that all elements of the socialist ideal--the abolition of private property, family, hierarchies; the hostility toward religion--could be regarded as a manifestation of one basic principle: the suppression of individuality.... All this is inspired by one principle--the destruction of individuality or, at least, its suppression to the point where it would cease to be a social force. "

4. Here, the New England Journal of Medicine:

"We know that wearing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection
. Public health authorities define a significant exposure to Covid-19 as face-to-face contact within 6 feet with a patient with symptomatic Covid-19 that is sustained for at least a few minutes (and some say more than 10 minutes or even 30 minutes). The chance of catching Covid-19 from a passing interaction in a public space is therefore minimal. In many cases, the desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic. "

Some restaurants require you to wear a mask to enter their establishment, but upon being seated, you can remove it to eat. I'd bet these same people have swimming pools with clearly marked pissing sections.
 
6. "The restaurant was not shy about spreading the word about their no-mask policy. They recently put up a giant billboard in Los Angeles near the Beverly Center that read: “Leave the mask, take the cannoli.”

“The billboard is really an ‘F you’ to the people who want to stop us because there’s nothing they can do,” said Miller.

The billboard just came down this week.

Tony Roman, the restaurant owner, in an email said:

“I posted the billboard to stick it to the haters, most of which come from Los Angeles. They seem to enjoy being miserable under lock down, so I thought since it's near Hollywood, our take on a line borrowed from the greatest movie of all time, would make our point perfectly, and maybe entertain them a little too!”

Miller said the restaurant’s no-mask policy is based on two things: “It’s just logic and freedom. And we like to express those things as much as we can.”

Wait.......is that a mask???????
 
Frankly, when I see a fellow American wearing a mask I imagine myself flat out on a cold steel table, a tag on my toe, a deputy coroner leaning in with a freshly sharpened scalpel. That, or images of concentration camps vividly cavort through my upper consciousness. I wonder why that is?

7. "Miller and Roman said liberty is the reason not once has the restaurant shut down during the pandemic.

“If you don’t feel safe to come out here then don’t, but if you do, we’re more than welcome to have you. We’ve got strong immunity; we hope you have the same,” said Miller.

Dave Champagne decided to come in for the first time in June. He said he called up the Basilico’s in search of a spot to meet up with a friend.

“First question I said, ‘What is your mask policy?’ They said, ‘We don’t allow it.’ I said, ‘I’m there!’”





Wooding also said he keeps coming back because he has tried eating at places that require masks.

“If you got to go to the bathroom, you have to put it back on. Mask on. Mask off. It makes no sense whatsoever. It’s annoying. I haven’t changed my lifestyle not one bit, and I won’t,” he said.

According to Wooding, mask requirements infringe on his freedom.




Orange County Environmental Health Director Christine Lane in an email said:

“Despite OC Environmental Health providing education to the food facility on several occasions, it remains out of compliance with the State’s requirements in the Health Order and with the dine-in guidance. The matter has been referred to the State’s Task Force for enforcement.”

Given that many liberals are descended from Puritans, it is no surprise that they take disease control similarly seriously. We need not put scarlet banners outside those who pose a disease risk though, because those folks still have the trump merch there as a warning of uncleanness.
 
“Anything that potentially can help, and that certainly can potentially help, is a good thing” Sez the great orange faced white man TRUMPO!

The Democrats may not know whether masks work or not,

Your cult master knows:

Mr. Trump urged Americans to avoid packed bars and offered his most robust endorsement of masks, saying, “When you can, use a mask,” even as he falsely claimed he had always been supportive. “I have no problem with the masks,”

“Anything that potentially can help, and that certainly can potentially help, is a good thing.


@realDonaldTrump “We are United in our effort to defeat the Invisible China Virus, and many people say that it is Patriotic to wear a face mask when you can’t socially distance. There is nobody more Patriotic than me, your favorite President!”

"Your cult master knows: "


The term 'cult' has a religious tone to it, which makes is applicable to Democrats, not Republicans.

It was you and your sort who called your recent candidate 'god, Jesus and the messiah.'
