The Patriot Post® · Biden Has a Nightmare
Well, Joe Biden’s AI chatbot wrote a Washington Post op-ed for him yesterday. The occasion was the apparent need to use history for a little more race-baiting.
Sixty years ago yesterday, Martin Luther King Jr. stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC, and gave his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech. Regardless of the complexity surrounding King himself, his eloquent message truly resonated.
As we have said often, Democrats were behind the racial slavery and the Jim Crow regime before King, and they’ve turned his dream into a nightmare ever since, fomenting racial division wherever possible to achieve their own political gain.
In 1964, Lyndon B. Johnson (LBJ) flatly admitted that his motives behind civil rights and “Great Society” legislation were racially driven: “I’ll have those ni**ers voting Democratic for the next 200 years.”
In 2020, Joe Biden (LGB) declared, “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, then you ain’t black.”
Clearly, not everything has changed for “progressives.”
So, back to Biden’s op-ed. We’ll spare you a point-by-point rebuttal of every bit of deception regarding his record and his promises, but we’ll instead make some overarching points.
First, as our Mark Alexander sums up, “Democrats have done nothing for blacks but keep them enslaved on their urban poverty plantations, beholden to Democrats as their masters, all while they kill each other in unprecedented numbers.”
Second and specific to Biden’s op-ed, the president notes the division between what he pejoratively calls “trickle-down economics” and Bidenomics. But he deceives about what both of those things mean.
Democratic Socialists like Biden loathe the free market, though they pretend otherwise. They despise a meritocracy where everyone is free to compete and win or lose according to merit. They cringe at MLK’s “dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
Instead, Democrats favor Marxist-derived segregation of people into classes — economic, race, or sexual proclivity — and then they pit those classes against one another. Don’t cut taxes across the board, they insist; stick it to “the rich” by taking what they have and giving it to someone else. In private practice, that’s theft. In government, it’s “equity” and “Bidenomics.”
In fact, that last point is Biden’s entire op-ed argument. He points to everything from his own affirmative action hiring to a laundry list of leftist tax-and-spend initiatives that benefit favored classes of people at the expense of others. He skips over the part where that makes everything expensive for everyone.
The dirty little secret is the message Democrats embed in all of this income redistribution: Blacks can’t succeed without Democrats. Insert whatever other “marginalized” “community” Democrats choose, and they repeat the same message. The oppressors and villains of America are keeping constituents down to the point that success isn’t possible without Democrat saviors.
That’s not the American Dream. It’s not Dr. King’s dream. It’s a Democrat nightmare.
Finally, a bonus round. During remarks yesterday about civil rights, Biden added another tall tale to his pantheon of pretentious autobiographical prevarications: “I was able to — literally, not figuratively — talk Strom Thurmond into voting for the Civil Rights Act before he died.” A quick fact-check reveals that the Civil Rights Act passed when Biden was just 21 — nowhere near the Senate and not even yet 76th out of 85 in his law school class. Thurmond died in 2003 at age 100, so yeah, a lot of things happened before he died, just not what Biden claims. Literally.
