Will Americans submit to a 2nd lockdown?

Pat Buchanan predicts the action of the people should another wave of virus sweep through

On March 24, President Donald Trump said he wanted the country and the economy "opened up and just raring to go by Easter."

Easter came and went. And Trump was mocked for being aspirational and unrealistic. Yet, with Ascension Thursday at hand, 40 days after Easter, the president seems to have been ahead of his time.

The country, as a whole, is, and has been, opening up. Sunday's New York Times reports that, for weeks now, more than two-thirds of the states have been relaxing restrictions as Trump had urged.

The reasons: weariness with the lockdown and sheltering in place, a growing belief that the worst of the pandemic is behind us and undeniably positive news from several fronts in the coronavirus war.

"New Cases in U.S. Slow," ran The New York Times top headline Sunday, adding the cautionary warning, "Posing Risks of Complacency."

I would rather be sent to China to take shots at them.

They (the government) control businesses. If a business is out of THEIR (the government's) compliance, they revoke their license and then heap tons and tons of fines on them. As I've said before, a government with that much power - one in which you must be compliant and obedient or suffer their wrath in many forms - can and will destroy America's fabric. We built this country on self-reliance and a can-do attitude. Clearly that has been eroded.

Pelosi, Shummer, Waters, and Biden have agreed that the next shutdown has to start in October and not be lifted till Dec. 1st.
For this shutdown recommendation they have promised the WHO large amounts of federal taxpayer cash.
