Democrats Demand You Wear a Symbol of Fear

RUSH: Oh, do you know what I heard right before the program started? This is another great illustration of a point that I’ve been making for I don’t know how long. A quarterback in the National Football League — and I didn’t see it. It was not videotaped so I don’t know who it was. But a current quarterback in the NFL actually said, “Look, I don’t want to get political, but I would like to get back to work.”

Now, when the hell did going to work become political? Right now — right here, right now — and who has made this possible? Joe Biden and the Democrat Party, all these mask-wearing freaks demanding that you use the symbol of fear, demanding that everybody wear the symbol of fear. I know why some people believe in masks, and it’s because of the success that we’ve had at grocery stores.

You know, from the beginning of this, people have been able to go to the grocery store, and there has not been the widespread infections of coronavirus in grocery stores. People had to go there, and they had to go to pharmacies, and there hasn’t been a lot of infection spread. So those people in the grocery stores were all wearing masks and gloves and so the theory is that wearing the mask, wearing the gloves helped stop the spread. So if it worked in grocery stores, why not elsewhere?

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh, you know what I heard right before the program started.

(00:04):
Just just this is another great illustration of a point
that I've been making for I don't know how long
at quarterback in the National Football League, and I didn't
I didn't see it. It was not it was not videotaped,
so I don't know who it was. But a current
quarterback in the NFL actually said, look, I don't want

(00:25):
to get political, but I would like to get back
to work now. When the hell did going to work
become political right now, right here, right now? And who
has made this possible? Joe Biden and the Democrat Party,
all these mask wearing freaks demanding that you use the

(00:49):
symbol of fear, demanding that everybody where the symbol of fear.
I know why some people believe in masks, and it's
because of the success that we've had at grocery stores.
You know, from the beginning of this, people have been
able to go to the grocery store. There has not
been the widespread infections of coronavirus in groceries with people

(01:09):
had to go there, and they had to go to pharmacies,
and there hasn't been a lot of infection spread and
so those people in the grocery stores were all wearing
masks and gloves, and so the theory is that wearing
the mask wearing the gloves helped stop the spread. So
if it worked in grocery stores, why not why not elsewhere?

(01:30):
But that that misses the point because that's not the
motivation behind the Democrats and their demand for masks. Their
demand for masks is political. Everything is political. They hope
to capitalize on the image they're creating that we're all
about to die, that we're all very very near being

(01:51):
wiped out, and only those who wear masks are going
to be safe, and only Democrats advocating the wearing of
masks care about people. If you don't wear a mask,
then you don't care. It's kind of like the old
red age ribbon. You put the age ribbon on and
what does it say. Nothing? It says I'm better than you.

(02:15):
I care. You don't care because you're not wearing this ribbon.
This red ribbon makes me a better person than you. Well,
that's how they're using the mask now, and it's been
it's gotten to the point where an NFL quarterback says,
I don't want to get political, but i'd kind of
like to go back to work. Speaking of let me

(02:38):
find very quickly, the North Carolina governor has changed his
thinking on the mask, and it is noteworthy be patient
with me as I go through the stacks here because
here this is typical. You know, I think I'll get
to it in the third hours, and I put it

(02:59):
near the autumn, and that means I've got to go
through most of the stack to find it, and i
may even be looking in the wrong stack. But I'm
going to find this before I move on and forget it.
But it's classic about how they're changing their motivation behind
the mask, what the purpose of the mask is, and

(03:20):
what you what it says about you. If you don't, well,
I can't find it. That's also very very typical. But
it's it's essentially, the mask isn't about safety, now the
Governor of North Carolina has made it for The mask
isn't about safety. It's about showing that you care. It's
about showing that you have compassion. It's about showing that
you don't want to infect other people. It's about showing

(03:42):
that you are a good person. And remember this, it's
such a classic, classic way liberals achieve their supposed superiority
over beat. I've always said liberalism is the most gutless
choice you can make because it never require should have
solved anything. All you have to do is notice suffering here,

(04:06):
misfortune over there and pointed out. And that makes you
a good person. That makes you a compassionate person, and
you'll run around, you'll get awards from people for caring
and that. That is exactly how the mask and and
some of the other things that the left is now

(04:26):
attempting to maintain their their moral superiority when they have none. Uh.
And it's it's also a way. Let's the NFL quarterback like,
how do I get political? But I kind of like
this guy's afraid to say he wants to go to work.
He's afraid of what's gonna happen. And what is he
afraid of. He's afraid of Twitter, he's afraid of social media.

(04:48):
He's afraid of what's going to be said about him
on social media. Here I found that Roy Cooper tweet
Governor Roy Cooper North Carolina unmasking they remember the mask.
That's us to make a safe, keep everybody safe, keep
you from infecting anybody, and to keep you from getting infected. Well,

(05:10):
let's see. Yesterday, Governor Cooper tweeted the following. A face
covering signifies strength and compassion for others. Wearing a mask
shows that you actually care about other people's health. I mean,
this is right out of the Age Red Ribbon handbook.

(05:32):
So now we're not wearing masks to stay healthy. We
wear them as a symbol of strength and compassion. The
problem with that is when the standard bearer and the
titular head of your party is Joe Biden, there is
no way that plugs is a symbol of strength or
anything else. Looking like the idiot he is wearing that mask.

(05:58):
This is virtue signaling. There's no science here.
