Yesterday, a group of about 30 "patriots" assembled outside of Shafer Elementary and Nazareth High School to protest Governor Tom Wolf's statewide mask mandate, according to Lehigh Valley Live. They apparently believe their first amendment rights include the right to hurl profanities at parents and children on the first day of school. One of my readers claims that Steve Lynch, GOP nominee for NorCo County Exec, was there. He forwarded a picture of Lynch posing with several protesters also identified in pictures appearing at Lehigh Valley Live. Interestingly, most of these freedom lovers refused to identify themselves or allow themselves to be quoted.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Brother Steve thank you for having the courage to face off with both the muzzled and muzzlers who capitulate to the nefarious machinations of Dr. Rachel and company , it is a brave stance when the woke mob looms large snapping pictures and tweeting fake news, uhuru!
ReplyDeleteMore like "Gay-triots" who can't deal with small inconveniences in life. Buncha pansies.
ReplyDelete"Gay-triots" grow up man, I don't agree with them either but you don't have to disparage them using "gay" as an insult--what are you, in middle school?
DeleteMy children attend Saucon Valley School Districts. Like all or most schools, they practice regular ALICE drills in case there's an active school shooting and learn how to barricade their classroom doors, yet their educational "rights" aren't being upended and violated, but Domestic Terrorist Lynch believes that a piece of cloth infringes "Constitutional Rights". Ah, priorities. Give me a break.
ReplyDeleteI'm tired of these deplorables. Shut up, sit down and let the responsible and reasonable professionals on both sides of the aisle lead the way.
Now, on a side note. It's been reported that surgical masks and N95 masks provide more protection than cloth masks, bandanas, etc... I call on all school districts to only permit these type of masks. Let's get this international pandemic behind us.
Let’s not protest the fact that school taxes go up every year, specifically affecting our elderly residents who are on fixed incomes, instead let’s make a big deal about a cotton cloth over our mouth during a world wide pandemic.
ReplyDeleteA piece of cloth.
I just want to yeet myself off this planet…
Lt. DAN I believe Steve Lynch embodies my motto, "Stupid is as stupid does." Also I don't think Lynch would like a looser who lost his legs, but "life is like a box of chocolates" to the GOP. Except this time they knew exactly what they were getting and it is shameful!
ReplyDeleteMy handle is not an homage to the eponymous fictional Oscar winning film but an actual title I have obtained in the brotherhood of Male chauvinists who formed the tip of the spear during operation stop the steal.
DeleteKids don't need to be muzzled and when weak boomers like micro mittens attacks one of my fellow patriots we rally. The shirts are selling faster than the supplier can print the added boost to brother Steve's warchest will ensure victory over the covid fetishist Lamonster McClure.
The GOP is not going back to Arlen Spectator type RINOS Charli Dent cut and ran because the Teflon Don took over and isn't relinquishing the reins until America is back on track!
Back on track to be the white nationalist and fascist nation YOU want it to be?
DeleteBut here’s a clue, LT. Dousche: Your cult leader Don doesn’t give a crap about rednecks like yourself no matter how much you try to convince yourself otherwise.
Don has always been, and will always be fodder for the elite billionaires that truly control his every move. And here you thought you had it all figured out…
Yes, can't everyone see how Lynch has been muzzled? If only he could make public statements and such.
ReplyDeleteYes thank you for the tax increase to fund security at NASD because of your thinly veiled threats.
ReplyDelete"Interestingly, most of these freedom lovers refused to identify themselves or allow themselves to be quoted."
ReplyDeleteI don't like these nuts. But anyone taking any political stand is wise to protect their identity as much as possible. Doxxing is real and can be devastating and dangerous. It's been routinely done on this space. This is our new media, like it or not. The criticism for one's anonymity pales in comparison to the harm of doxxing.
Doesn't this guy have a day job? Oh yeah, exercising. Stay strong, nitwit.
ReplyDelete@9:06 - Or... They're embarrassed and ashamed for allowing themselves to get worked up over something of such little substance and worth, that they don't want their children's children to know how pathetic and dumb they were.
ReplyDeleteI'm a Republican and Lynch is a self attention seeking idiot. He doesn't give 2 shits about this county or winning. just wants to be in the paper and maybe get on fox news. It's a shame we can't find a true conservative that cares about the employees of the county and also the bottom line. Then they go and put john brown on the ticket . Idoits. The Democratic party is now the socialist party. So us ppl in the true middle or screwed.
ReplyDeleteYou are brainwashed. You can find what you're looking for...the Democrat party. We care about everyone and everyone's "bottom line".
DeleteIt's a shame that you've obviously been indoctrinated to believe that our party is all about Socialism. Turn off Fox news and really listen to our agenda.
Its funny I actually work for the county and watch money allocated for us be given to everyone else but the frontline employees that doesn't improve lamont and chuck votes. Sorry go out and work... I go in everyday. and get mandated on top of it. And am told there is no danger about covid for us. But give money to ppl to sit at home and forget about the working man. Like Lamont told county council. I will not negotiate anything. take it or leave it. Should be his slogan he told Tara. NO. NO. NO.
DeleteBrainwashed... government paid rent ,government paid college, government paid healthcare, just paid by the government. Remember the government only gets money from taxes. Does the saying " going to the well one to many times " ring a bell.
DeleteLynch is the right man for the job--let's make sure he wins
ReplyDeleteLynch is the wrong man for Northampton County, PA. Maybe Northampton County, NC. Or even Northampton County, VA. But here? WTF? Damn...
DeleteThis place is a dumpster fire of negativity and arrogance. How about you all take a deep breathe and try conversing like the person was standing in front of you. Keyboard warriors are destroying polite society.
ReplyDeleteSo true. This is one of the big problems in this country. We see the worst of society hiding behind social media. Polite discussion seems to be disappearing. And no respect for any point of view that varies from ones own.
DeleteGod Bless Steve Lynch!
ReplyDeleteThat guy is an example of steroid brain atrophy. I'm calling myself Lt. Mike. Because I earned that in the US Navy, "Lt Dan".
ReplyDeleteI think the Gay-triots was in reference to what a happy guy this Lynch character is. Gay = happy, merry . . .
ReplyDeleteHow come these half ass patriot anti face mask wearers don't rally against car inspections, emissions testing, stop signs, speed limits, "no shoes, no shirt, no service" etc. and other limits on living in a orderly society?
ReplyDeleteWFMZ is reporting a coach and teacher at the Northampton School district has succumbed to covid. Isn't this the district where 20 hoodlums were going to intimidate the school board.
ReplyDelete@9:30...
ReplyDeletegovernment paid rent - NOBODY wants to live in government housing.
government paid college - it helps the country to fund and further the education of its citizens/workforce (long term planning - look it up)
government paid healthcare - so you won't use medicare?
Didn't we just have a congresswoman sleep on the steps of the Capitol to keep the government help pay rent and let ppl stay home and collect??? NO WAY IN HELL DO I WANT MEDICARE!!!! Worked my whole life and have benefits.. yeah pay everyone's bill. Dont worry big brother will take care of you. You want some good reading. Try " 1984" try talking to some people from Venezuela.. Was one of the world's richest nations. Now people in poverty.. Just keep thinking its great
DeleteSo LT Dan tell us all how you self named your self if it is not for you mental ineptitude?
ReplyDeleteLynch is an idiot. Having said that there is no documented proof of profanities used during this protest. The LVL reporter on scene did not observe any use of profanities. Someone reported this to Riker while providing no proof of inappropriate language being used. To say otherwise is a smear against people exercising their right to assemble, even if I do disagree with them.
