Patriotic Masks

In theory, few oppose needless mask wearing more than I, though I have made no such stand, not as anon or on any platform or in any situation. I get the science, irony, disdain, ridicule, even hatred of mask wearing, needlessly. Laying on operating table, likely none stand, or lay, opposed to wearing high quality masks. There are just cases and causes. Wearing mask before a teller is utterly ironic, there to give legal business, not take business illegally. Wearing no mask into a bank where behind the counter folk all wore masks… irony all but split my gut… but I refrained. Chief among my reason for saying nothing, my wife in health care related concern has had to mask since early days of this pandemic. Family peace and unity, support, has kept me silent, even with her.

1) Thus together we come to first reason to wear mask, WWG1WGA! If for no other reason, do it to support my wife, minimally, please. It is our code.

2) We all know the black and white twit of POTUS wearing mask declaring the habit Patriotic, giving name to these lines. If I can ease his burden, support his wishes/advise/causes, I SHALL. It is NO SKIN OFF MY NOSE… or at lest nothing more than what I can easily afford to lose. No POTUS has done more with greater swiftness and fairness… and my days put me deep into the high risk camp. I have seen a lot. For him, I support, gladly.

3) Only those known to wear mask can lead out of wearing mask. WWG1WGA has both leaders and followers, typical cultural stuff. Lead can go both into a new pattern and out of a pattern. The mask are temporary. We all know termination date is 11.4. Stage self to lead out of masking, hopefully before 11.4 with therapeutic announcement. Patriots always lead to greater freedom bearing all in mind.

4) Any and all arguments for not wearing mask look and sound best from those who social distance, yet have mask dangling off ear, in hand or pocket. Masks are a prop, a tool, an argument for freedom, return to old norm, America breathing healthy and wise again, China/Dem Virus defeated, down and out, masks off, War Won, Victory in hand, obvious smile on face. 

5) MASKS OFF, the masks are coming off Dems, they are exposed out in the open. Again, mask is prop, argument, illustration. Red pill the hell out of masks, contrasting on and OFF.  We mask to protect each other, they UNMASK themselves in utter chaotic fear knowing damn well this POTUS is taking them down. To DRAIN THE SWAMP, is to UNMASK the Dems/RINOs/foreign. They argue to empty all jails because they know coming JUSTICE will put them in jail where they belong and deserve. The masks are off, chaos, tyranny, anarchy is their chosen plot, 'they are unmasked'. Say it loud holding up your mask. Use a mask to cover eyes, living in darkness as sheep, pawns, zombies, brainwashed.

6) Masks off, seeing faces, no fear of unseen, unknown, post pandemic, will blaze new levels of unity and braveness for all of America, youngest to oldest, all gender, race and creed. Honestly, be a part of the coming brave unity: history of wearing of masks, defiant disposing of them, and then return to prospering, as of old, wearing no mask. 'Face to face', is long favored. 'Mask to mask' will only catch on as a sick joke, both figuratively and literally. 'Face to face' means seeing each other with great clarity. And that my compatriot is the heart, soul, mind and spirit of being a great American PATRIOT. Face to face, is the face of near days, again, with added meaning and sense, shared past, brave new paths, like hand held high in V shape for victory glee.

I hope others add to this short shabby list. Certainly, reasons to not mask can also multiply and stand strong and clear in all good conscience. Standing free and independent is also good American Spirit. a true Patriot. Harming others, risking such, disregards keeping each other safe. None know the future, collectively, or as a result of individual action. Safety, takes extra-ordinary action to guard against the unknown, for the sake of others, their reach into the future they deserve. Science is of past and present, not the unknowable future. Safety secures the edge of what is to come. Sheath the knife, unload the round, put on a mask, for a little while. Lead belongs to the future, and is also the Patriot's path.
