Democrats Have Given Us An Unrecognizable AmericaBiden's departure is only the first step to restoring our country.August 19, 2024
After more than 50 years, Joe Biden is finally leaving the political scene. It’s something both Republicans and Democrats wanted, but for different reasons. Republicans have always seen him as a weak politician without convictions or scruples, compromised by foreign adversaries, and suffering from increasing mental confusion. Democrats certainly saw the same thing, but managed to convince themselves that he was another FDR. They stopped trying to convince the public after the polls told them he couldn’t win reelection. That’s when they dropped him like a hot potato. But the damage was already done. A once-proud America, land of the free, has become unrecognizable. First, Biden erased America’s sovereignty. He did it by flouting our immigration laws and shamelessly lying to the American people. We’ve only begun to see the impact of millions of unscreened foreign citizens flooding into our country, draining dry the social programs intended for Americans. Many of those interlopers have brought various biases and hatreds with them. Some are vicious criminals, who have already victimized American citizens. Some are trained terrorists, intent on doing us harm. Not one of them came intending to make America a better place. The unabated invasion will eventually lead to more crime, chaos, and balkanization of our country. Then Biden decimated our economy. He declared war on fossil fuels, while increasing government spending to all-time highs. Now, everyone feels the impact of the resulting inflation. His administration likes to boast about reducing inflation, but conceals the fact that it was Biden’s policies - “Bidenomics” - that first drove the inflation rate to 9.1 percent, the highest level in 40 years. Though it has come down since then, it’s still substantially higher than it was when he took office. It was the Federal Reserve that helped reduce that unsustainable inflation rate by raising the cost of borrowing money. With interest rates now on the rise, people are struggling to make ends meet. Credit card debt is rising, and home ownership – the American Dream – is now beyond the reach of many Americans. The devastation caused by Biden’s policies extends far and wide. His false claims of systemic racism have brought race relations to new lows and eroded our national pride. His misuse of our justice system to target people of faith, concerned parents, and political opponents has virtually erased trust in our government. Those vast numbers of trained terrorists he welcomed into our country have seriously undermined our national security. He further compromised our national security by selling off our strategic oil reserves in a feckless attempt to reduce fuel costs. And America once had a conscience – a clear sense of right and wrong. Biden welcomed in a new era, one that celebrates gender confusion, one that feeds that idea into the minds of young school children, one that forces women to compete with men in unfair sporting events. But it's important to understand that Biden could not have accomplished any of that without his party’s backing and the acquiescence of the media. In fact, we now know what many believed all along. Biden has been nothing but a conduit – a puppet. The radical new Democrat Party is behind all of it. While Democrats pretend to be champions of democracy, they’ve abandoned all the principles that made America great - free speech, self-reliance, personal responsibility, free enterprise, peace through strength, parental rights, and national pride. Today’s Democrat Party has adopted a radical agenda that is almost indistinguishable from socialism. It was something Democrats once tried to conceal, but today they’ve become more brazen about it. Kamala Harris even chose a running mate who compares socialism to “neighborliness.” Since when has neighborliness been defined as generosity with other peoples’ money? To most Americans, the redistribution of wealth is socialism. These are some of the aspirations of the Socialist Party USA: The elimination of the Electoral College, replacing police with community residents trained in conflict resolution, voting rights for prisoners, full representation of all U.S. territories, as well as the District of Columbia, equal rights to all residents, regardless of citizenship, college debt loan forgiveness, an end to U.S. aid to Israel, free abortions at any stage of pregnancy, the abolition of parental consent and notification laws regarding abortion, and the right to comprehensive sex education in school including birth control methods, STD protection, and LGBTQIA+ information. These are virtually the same goals envisioned by today’s Democrats. They will stop at nothing to achieve them. They gave us Joe Biden. Now they plan to give us Kamala Harris, who just a few short weeks ago, was a laughingstock, even among the Democrat Party. The very same people who lied to conceal Biden’s corruption and mental decline are scrambling to hide Harris’ radicalism and utter incompetence.
