-- Know the law and your rights.
Isn't it time we stand up for our freedom and once again become the land of the free and home of the brave?
-- Be willing to stand firm for your rights, which are just as important as theirs. Don't let their anger cause you to be angered. Stay calm.
-- Be willing to walk out without your items. Private businesses do have a right to ask that. but if a liberal-owned store has that right, so does a store owned by a conservative." - Karen Hardin
The title of Hardin's article was "Be Brave or Lose Your God-Given Rights." Except choosing to not wear a mask during a worldwide pandemic is not a God-given right. Being arrogant and combative is not a God-given right. The notion that if Karen Hardin wears a mask in a local store that requires one means that it would lead to a loss of all of our freedoms here in America is beyond looney-tunes nuts. She was not polite in this exchange. She was rude, petulant and argumentative. She had the right to not shop there - that's it. The law was not on her side at all and she is lucky they did not call the police. Let this primarily remind us that the time is short. We must redeem the time that is left for those on the outside looking in. We should not be looking for reasons to pick a fight with them, no matter how much we convince ourselves we might be right. We represent Jesus Christ, not ourselves
