surely knows the Gospels. In Matthew 7:12, Jesus says, “So in everything, do unto others what you would have them do unto you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.”and pagan teaching alike. “Do unto others …” is a maxim preached across cultures, and it has been called the “golden rule” for 400 years. The coinage seems to have come from British Protestants.
Walz quite obviously does not follow his golden rule. Not only did he mandate masks and try to mandate the COVID vaccine in 2021, but he also set up a snitch line and encouraged people to rat out their neighbors for having birthday parties. Wherever 16 or more were gathered in his state, Walz wanted the police to be there, breaking it up.
To be fair to Walz, he wasn’t actually talking about any broad concept of privacy or individual liberty. “Mind your own damn business” simply meant “abortion should be legal in all circumstances.” “Mind your own damn business” is different from “do unto others what you would have them do unto you.” It’s certainly different from Jesus’s Great Commandment to love God and “love your neighbor as yourself.”
