    Yeah, everybody knows prayer only works if it comes from a conservative Christian.

    So your view is the only correct one? In order for yours to be the only correct one, you would be requiring it be enforced.

    Last I checked, people have the right to choice. Herman Cane made his. I could pull up many, many wrong choices people have made, yet not politicize them.

    Agreed. He also did a ton of hand-shaking. I think ONE guy refused to shake his hand out of who-knows-how-many. I remember thinking "Why aren't all of them doing what they are advising us to do?" I think part of it is Trump felt like it would make him look weak or something. I have no basis for that. It's just the only thing that I can think of as to why. In fairness, given how he was treated for "inspecting" the bunker, he may have been right about that.

    Overall, I think it's very, very sad that people have to have something in their own backyard before they pay attention.

    Hopefully people have the ability to think for themselves. Doing something just because someone else is doing it who is a supposed role model, means I would be walking around wearing a symbolic scarf I am not entitled to wear, twerking in public, while wearing a haz-mat suit.

    Do you get the point?

    Not a full life. He died many years prematurely due to the virus

    You can't honestly say that, since you don't know if his underlying health issues would have only given him another year or two.

    I'm playing beat the clock: lost my mother at 57, my sister at 60, and my father at 69. Since I made it past 57, if I catch COVID-19, does that mean my life was shortened?

    But the would require that they admit to themselves they were wrong in the first place so they they'll stick with contrarianism no matter what happens to grandma. Trump can endure other people's suffering pretty well.

    Hermie did make his choice... Last one he made..

    Wonder if he'd rethink it if he had a redo??

    If he got it at home or at the grocery store, that can't be politicized, but how in the world can you NOT politicize a man who essentially died because he went to an unsafe political rally??

    Right, he was co-chair of "Black Voices for Trump". Can't have that. Dems are giddy that he died, one less voice for Orange Man, especially a black conservative.

    And Cain himself politicized the virus.
    And with those words, Caine sealed his fate.

    Not even a little but it (like the 37 yr old mask shunner who was so loud about that on Facebook and died) is a cautionary tale

    If it takes the death of a famous conservative at the end of July to have somebody "learn from it", they're past educating and have probably just been lucky to date...

    You don't know that he DID get it at the rally, yet that is what you jumped on.

    And right back to those who protested, those who rioted and looted, and given a pass regarding 'gatherings of more than X people'. It doesn't matter the political affiliation. It doesn't matter the event they attended, especially since you cannot pin point where they contracted it!

    Why can you not understand that?

    I don't support protesting without a mask, and I'm positive you won't find any evidence to the contrary..

    We cannot pin point where most contract it, because we don't contact trace, like most of the evolved world...

    But the timing is right.

    Hey, if he didn't get it at the Covid Rally, good for him... I'm sure that would have been a great comfort to him knowing he died not furthering the hoax....

    You don't know how or where he contracted the virus. So what reason do you have for politicizing it other than to feed your morbid joy over the death of an honorable freedom-loving American?

    It still is a disaster, with 30 million contracting it every year, 200,000 hospitalized, and 40,000 dying from it.

    Yet no one is ever told to wear a mask to protect themselves from it.

    “There is a political element in here and all of the Democrats don’t want us to open up and they keep claiming we might be opening up too soon. Look at the data! We’re not opening up too soon,” Herman Cain

    How is "opening up" working in the Sun Belt?

    Are you talking about current influenza or the Spanish flu?

    Yes, the Spanish Flu (influenza) and covid are both strains of H1N1, as is the swine flu. You didn't know this?
