    No. It was for the exercise of power and control.

    Before the US officially entered WW2.. FDR was already in the process of sending military aid and equipment to MARXIST Stalin to fight Hitler's attempt to liberate Christian Russians [many of whom were ethnic Germans - like the Volga Germans who had lived in Russia for centuries] from church-destroying mass-murdering antichrist Marxists!!

    First of all lets quit using the term "our govt". Our government is a group of politicians. The question is whether our elected politicians would be willing to shut down businesses for a political advantage. I have no doubt that we have politicians very willing to do just that. When they shut down businesses, they are providing the illusion, real or made up, that they are doing it for our own benefit and thus gaining a political advantage.

    You can purchase laminated and embossed vaccine passports along with a real looking drivers license of any state in downtown LA for $50. Problem solved. Free enterprise at work.

    You think that if a cop stops you for speeding you could show them your passport or an ID card?

    I would feel embarrassed to have to explain to you that a driver's license is... a license to drive: i.e. a certificate to prove that you have complied with official requirements to operate a motor vehicle without being a danger to others. So I won't because I'm sure you'd be even more embarrassed if somebody needed to explain that to you. (Oh, look!... I just did explain it to you... Oops!)

    You know when somebody realizes they had no argument to begin with when they resort to absolute nonsense, like you have.

    This one goes to you too

    Could you tell me: are right-wingers not embarrassed when they use the most idiotic arguments? Mind you, I'm talking about your arguments... i don't know you, and as far as I know, you might be the biggest genius in this forum. But your arguments... God!

    Vaccine passports and drivers licenses are very similar: they both certify that the holder has taken the most basic reasonable precautions to not kill somebody by acting like a moron.

    I don't speak for anyone else, but the absurdity of your idea that a Driver's License and injecting an experimental drug into your body is any way equivalent is beyond reality.

    First off, a license is issued once based on skills exhibited. Once. And renewed regularly after that with exception of someone who has actively broken laws in regards to their driver's license.

    Taking a vaccination is not a matter of actively preventing a medical condition if you do not have the condition. It is not a guarantee you will not get the condition. It doesn't prevent you from spreading the condition. The only thing it does is possibly reduce the severity if you do get the condition.

    How you make the Grand Canyon style leap from a Driver's License to injecting a experimental drug into your body is only something you might know.

    Sorry to burst your bubble the rest of the way, but I'm not a 'right-winger', whatever that label may entail. I lean conservative on some subjects, left on others, but first and foremost I am a realist. I apply logic and common sense, and I don't let emotions drive my response in life.

    Why would I think that?

    Is it as nonsensical as your reply?

    In many states, IDs are free if you’re below the poverty line. They’re $20 or less in almost all states.

    Almost anything it can do would have been better. Perfect example of government as the source of problems rather than the solution to them.

    Who's forcing you to prove you've been vaccinated?

    Weve heard lots of ridiculous proposals like companies requiring it to have a job, to travel on an airplane, to enter public buildings, etc. lots of this is probably nonsensical noise, but they have been proposed. A little more serious consequence than not getting a beer.

    Okay, then why do we need a stupid vaccine passport, lol? Just to show the grandkids at Christmas?
    You’re making our point. We don’t need a vaccine passport.

    and as I have said, as long as they are easy to get and free, I have no issues with it

    but yes, more polling areas in areas that have long lines are needed as well, Republican have a habit of trying to do this on purpose, it should never take hours and hours to vote

    did Trump tell you that you need a vaccine passport, where did you hear this?

    Biden said he did not support vaccine passports, so not sure where you get this?

    That is an odd example. Of all those who have killed somebody, what percentage had a drivers license?
