Never Turn Down A Good Cup of Tea

Trump is wearing a mask, at last, say leftists. Even went as far as to tweet a picture of himself in a mask and say that wearing masks is patriotic and that he's the biggest patriot ever. 
I'm not kidding if you haven't seen this. It's real.
At first, I laughed. And then I was like, "You know? He's actually kinda right."
Maybe it is patriotic to wear a mask. Because, what does patriotism even mean? A loyalty or allegiance to one's country and fellowman. 
Which means: 
Nazi's were patriots. Communists were patriots. Democrats, republicans, libertarians; all of these are patriots. 
When the church was early and young, they thought it was wrong to give their allegiance to anyone but God. They were loyal and loving and kind to their fellow man, always ready to be as the Good Samaritan. But they did not worship a flag or set of nationalist ideals. God alone held their complete loyalty. 
Early Christians weren't patriots. 
And so, yes maybe it is patriotic to wear masks. But does that mean it's right, or even American? 
One of the things that set America apart from other nations is that America defied patriotism. She denounced her allegiance to England, said we will not pay tribute to you. She said, I will be loyal to none save the liberty to pursue my conscious. 
The revolutionary war was the result. 
I would never turn down a good cup of tea. And yet I would have been among those that refused to drink tea. I would have applauded the men who made of the Boston Tea Party. How do I know this? Because of how I currently stand on the issue of masks. 
Masks are not inherently evil. But the idea behind them is. Tea is good. Masks have their place. But the government belongs with neither. 
Freedom is what makes us American, not patriotism. Liberty is what connects us, not blind loyalty. 
"But," people say. "The issue of masks is not worth dying over."
Yes ... and no. 
It's not about masks.It's wasn't about tea. When John Brown led his little rebellion people told him, "This is not the time."
He died fighting for his beliefs on what was considered an inconsequential hill by others. But he died because he knew he was fighting for something bigger even though the rest of the world could not see his vision and passion. 
We live in a time that celebrates non-existent freedoms during the 4th of July by shooting off colorful fireworks. But we have nothing. We are more akin to those whom we broke away from than those who first came to the States. 
The right to pursue life, liberty, and property no longer fully exists. Do I have the right to these things? Only if I have a license or permit from my voted rulers. I may not work, marry, drive, eat, live without paying for permission of some sort of fashion. And when they grant permission, we have signed over their right to dictate what that permission looks like. 
They officiate marriages even above the church, so of course, they may define marriage. 
They require licenses to drive, travel, etc, so they may take away any of those rights or privileges according to how they deem fit. 
They give the business licenses and permits, so of course, they may tell us how to run our establishment and who may or may not shop from us and what they are to wear. 
Masks are not the issue. They are the consequences of rights lost long ago. They are a covering, to keep us blinded from the real issue. 
So yes, you should rebel against wearing masks. You should claim your liberty. Be unpatriotic; be as Dietrich Bonhoeffer who followed God before man. 
It may appear as a hill not worth dying on. But hills are what battles are made from. And if we do not conquer the land while it needs conquering we will soon enough find ourselves pushed into a low valley with our enemies towering over us on their conquered mountain. We need to stop losing the small battles in the wait of something we consider worthier. Little things matter. By fighting for these things we may better prevent a large-scale blood-bath. 
So stand on your hill and fight. And who says you must die? Fight and live. Fight for freedom and live in liberty. 
Because I am trying to spread into the world of speaking and videos, here's my YouTube on this same topic. For some reason, it's a lot harder to speak than to write. Maybe some of you all can relate?
