The Bryan Hyde Show hour two 12-18-2020
The fact that there is growing resistance to the heavy-handed Covid-19 lockdowns isn't going to strike everyone as good news but I find it encouraging. J.D. Tuccille explains how and why more and more Americans are in full revolt against government overreach.
It's rare but occasionally someone in government does the right thing. Daniel J. Mitchell has a good example of how the president is working to improve our quality of life with an initiative that tells government to get out of the way.
Look, I love to complain as much as the next guy. However, we're doing ourselves a big disservice when we claim that 2020 is "the worst year ever." Art Carden has some needed historical perspective to offer. He encourages us to lighten up. It's not even close to the worst year ever.
One of my biggest challenges is maintaining patience with people who grasp for any reason, however tenuous, to excuse tyrannical behavior on the part of the state. A classic example of what this kind of willful blindness looks like can be seen in a story shared by Lenore Skenazy about a mom who was threatened with arrest for letting her kids walk home from school.
