The American Conservative
•62% Informative
Rumblings of a new Covid-19 strain hitting the country are causing a growing number of Americans to don masks, stock up on supplies and call for social distancing and quarantine procedures for the infected.
Bob Greene : The hysteria of 2020 for the first outbreaks of Covid wasn’t designed to teach the American people anything, or even keep them safe; rather, it conditioned and primed them to mobilize for the next disaster.
Greene: Few institutions have suffered more from the botched Covid response than Christian churches.
When the mandates were handed down, most pastors supported them, says Frida Ghitis .
Ghitis: Most pastors were motivated by retaining their nonprofit status and government contracts than protecting their flocks.
She says even now, hardly any of these priests, church ladies, or other “good Christians ” have ever said sorry. They pretend like they couldn’t have known any better and were justified in taking an adversarial stance.
