Doocy: 99% of people who are dying are unvaccinated

Kilmeade: That's their choice!

Doocy: They don't want to die. The admin and gov't says mask mandates are to protect the unvaccinated

Kilmeade: That's not their job, it's not their job to protect anybody!

Sociopathic and demented in his attitudes towards humanity. He epitomizes white privilege. Neo-con and neo-confederate jerk.

During the Bush administration they would go on and on to anybody who would listen about the first job of the government and the president was to protect Americans. Of course the first job and the oath they take is too protect and defend the constitution. The constitution defines part of the duties of the government is to promote the general welfare. Is that too complicated or too straightforward for these people?

he'd tell you he's as honest as the day is long. mostly, he is.
but when he and i got into a back and forth, he would literally say anything if he thought it refuted me in any way.
he'd also be struck w temporary but complete idiocy.

If the government isn't intended to protect the general population from harm thru laws, how does it differ from anarchy?
