"Ma! They Want Me To Get The Mark O' The Beast, Ma!"

We're gonna need those vaccine passports just so we know who to avoid. Stupid isn't contagious, but covid is.

(It occurs to me the Supreme Court could decide refusal to get a vaccine could be a religious freedom protected by the First Amendment.  So what, you say.  But such a conclusion could excuse the unvaccinated evangelicals from the burdens of a “vaccine passport”, i.e., a mere record for public health purposes.  In other words, “religious freedom” could even overcome public health.  I’d like to say that’s ludicrous and impossible, but the more I spell it out, the more I could see the Court reaching that absurd conclusion, based on their previous rulings.  This does not make me feel better.)

  1. This is what happens when you make the Bill of Rights into scripture and interpret it literally. And for that you can blame secular liberals of the past in the employ of the publishing industry and who thought it was important for commies to get a chance to convince people that Lenin and then Stalin did it better. The right saw their golden opportunity in that.

    Religious hacks, including the majority of the US Catholic Conference of Bishops staffed largely with JPII Benedict XVI hold-overs are doing more to discredit religion than the new atheism did. As are the members of the Roberts Court, most of whom claim to be religious. I wouldn't trust anyone who goes to those Red Masses or uses Thomas More as a figurehead just as I don't trust those who use Madison for one.
