Apparently,
rhetorical consistency
is about as high
on Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's agenda
as ensuring his constituents
have a working power grid,
are safe in their schools
and can easily vote.

On Thursday,
the Republican governor
fired off a tweet ,
blasting President Joe Biden's announcement,
of new requirements for large employers,
to ensure workers either get vaccinated
or face weekly COVID-19 tests.

Calling the mandate
an "assault on private businesses,"
Abbott pledged that Texas,
or its GOP leadership anyway,
was working to thwart Biden's "power grab."
And here's where the tragicomic
part comes in.:

"I issued an Executive Order
protecting Texans'
right to choose
whether they get the COVID vaccine
& Added it to the special session agenda,"

If you've been paying attention,
you're then aware
that Abbott's tweet trumpeting Texans' right
to make individual health choices,
comes days after he signed a law.
banning the majority
of abortions in the state.

Clearly, Abbott is talking
out both sides of his mouth
when it comes to matters of choice.

Comment:

The irony meters
Have blown a gasket
You talk about the right to choose
The right to not get vaccinated
Or wear a mask.

You know that is the right
To infect everyone else
Including you
You and your family could die.

Because of idiots
Who refuse to get a vaccination
Or wear a mask.

The blood is on your hands
Own it.

The corona ghosts
Are watching you.
