* His last breath? Hopefully for this unmasked, unvaccinated dude’s own sake, it’s not through a ventilator…
It's time to stop this nonsense and I will fight to my last breath for freedom and common-sense policies.
Call your school board members and tell them to stand up. Local control matters. Your voice matters; mental health matters.

Guess Darren Bailey would call George Washington a tyrant for forcing smallpox inoculation on the Continental Army

Anti-social, psychotic, dangerous, a complete insult to anybody who has lost a loved one to this scourge. A total affront to the entire concept of community. And he wants to be governor. I have full contempt for all these people. My faith in the humanity of my neighbors will never be restored

He spews this nonsense when his own brother-in-law is on a vent.

I want freedom from this virus and anti-public health science deniers who are making things worse with ridiculous statements like this.

=force a vaccine is a tyrant.=
An empirically false statement from the leading covidiot in Illinois.
Comment by JS Mill Wednesday, Aug 4, 21 @ 1:17 pm
Even more ridiculous than Rabine posting a video of him doing pull-ups in his pajamas as a strategy to bring more businesses to Illinois.

Having kids wear masks or obtain a vaccine (if old enough) in the midst of a pandemic isn’t common sense? Normally when a parent purposely puts their kid in harms way somebody calls the authorities.

I would wear a mask for a long time if it meant that grifter politicians like Darren Bailey would go away.
I’d bet a sizeable sum of money that he’s is fully vaccinated and just refuses to admit it.

Replace vaccines and masks with required clothing to be in public, and it sounds even better.
“Let me be clear, if you want to be clothed or want to wear pants, I hope you get one. I will help you get one if you need help. But anyone who wants to force pants on children or force them to be clothed is a tyrant.”

One would think the Bailey would tone down his rhetoric on this since his brother in law is on a ventilator in a St. Louis hospital. I going out on a limb here but maybe he’s not the family man everyone thinks he is. I realize this is all spurred from the notion that the Governor is signing an Executive Order about masks in schools. DeVore has already come out with a Facebook live video about how it’s not legal and how terrible it is.
Yet they praise the Governor of Florida for signing an Executive Order prohibiting School Districts from issuing a mask mandate. Who’s on first?

If mandating masks and vaccines is tyrannical, what does that make someone would wants to control every woman’s reproductive system?

A good bet.
Even Donald Trump is vaccinated.
Its hard to see with eyes closed.

I don’t want to wear shirts and shoes anymore either….can he help me? Will he get Tom Devore to take my case?

I want to throw my Foamation cheese brick at the TV whenever a talking head tells us that we shouldn’t shame folks who are falling in lockstep with the anti-health GOP Covidiots.
Comment by Norseman Wednesday, Aug 4, 21 @ 2:04 pm
Darren Bailey’s blathering and false rhetoric indicates that he has no platform except to denigrate vaccines, masks, and JB.
If he were to face reporters, Bailey would crumple like a cheap suit.
Comment by Rudy’s teeth Wednesday, Aug 4, 21 @ 2:05 pm
When you’re still pandering to the 23% or so Covidiot, ‘Merica “sheeple”, you’re probably not a serious person to lead a state during a pandemic crisis.
What is great is Bailey reminds us constantly and consistently he’s not a serious person to help eradicate Covid.
Comment by Oswego Willy Wednesday, Aug 4, 21 @ 2:10 pm
Local school boards on the North Shore, where masking compliance has been very high, and people were slow to remove masks even when the mandate went away, are being inundated with right-wing talking points, often from out of town voices, or from people who have no involvement in the schools or in a children in the schools. They’re trying to drown out local control, local parents, and the students themselves. It’s frustrating.
Comment by Suburban Mom Wednesday, Aug 4, 21 @ 2:11 pm
These guys are all for local control until they are not. What about Florida and Texas where Republicans passed laws saying no local mask mandates.

Polio Vaccine
- Tyranny!
Requiring a school physical
- Tyranny!
School Zone Speed Limits
- Tyranny!
School Dress Codes
- Tyranny!
I can’t carry a long gun into my kid’s school
- Tyranny!
I can’t just scream obscenities at his football coach and the refs
- Tyranny!
I can’t pick the reading list for my kid at his school
- Tyranny!
TB tests for healthcare professionals
- Tyranny!
Rep Bailey strikes me as a guy who would love tyranny as long as it was his flavor of it.

OneMan, you forgot fluoridation.
Comment by Rich Miller Wednesday, Aug 4, 21 @ 2:36 pm
It’s a mask mandate, not a gag order. Although in Bailey’s case, forcing him to keep quiet would do more to improve public health than just about any other strategy.

“Fight to the last breath”. The irony of him fighting to the last breath while thousands are literally fighting to breathe is not lost on me.

He has made his hill that’s for sure.
I can’t knock him for standing up for something he believes.
