Joe Biden was elected to be the great unifier and his inaugural address was billed as his “Unity Speech.” Let’s go back to that day.
“On this January day, my whole soul is in this: Bringing America together, uniting our people, uniting our nation. And I ask every American to join me in this cause.
“Uniting to fight the foes we face: anger, resentment, hatred, extremism, lawlessness, violence, disease, joblessness and hopelessness. With unity, we can do great things, important things. We can right wrongs.
“History, faith and reason show the way, the way of unity. We can see each other not as adversaries, but as neighbors. We can trust each other with dignity and respect.” – President Biden’s Inaugural Address, January 20, 2021
Looking back, he must have known he was just blowing smoke. In fact, he said, “I know speaking of unity can sound to some like a foolish fantasy these days.” The division in the country was too large to cure with nice sounding words.
On numerous occasions over the past eight months, President Biden has taken a slap at Trump, but it was during this White House Pride Month speech that he decided to attack Republican-led states and used the term “Ultra-MAGA.”
“I don’t have to tell you about the Ultra-MAGA agenda attacking families and our freedoms.” – President Biden, June 15, 2022
Biden continued his attack on MAGA supporters during his appearance at the Maryland DNC Rally last week, referring not just to former President Trump but those MAGA Republicans who “don’t just threaten our personal rights and economic security, (but) our very democracy.
“Let me tell you about this Ultra MAGA agenda,” he told donors, “It’s extreme, as most MAGA things are,” he added because his strategists told him “MAGA” was viewed negatively among voters.
“We must be stronger, more determined and more committed to saving America than the MAGA Republicans who are destroying America,” President Biden told attendees.
As I have told you before in this blog, it isn’t just the former president alone that is in Biden’s sights and those of the leftist media. How can you believe him when he says, “I respect conservative Republicans. I don’t respect these MAGA Republicans.” Those millions of Trump followers in flyover country. You.
Does anyone who recalls Biden’s frequent reference to his soul, that he should be believed? Speaking of the “Make America Great Again” slogan, he said, “It’s not just Trump … it’s almost semi-fascism. They embrace political violence. They don’t believe in democracy.”
Insulting Republicans isn’t new
It isn’t the first time Republican voters have been slandered. We cannot let the left forget how Democrats have diminished or disparaged those of us on the right.
“They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them.” – Sen. Barack Obama, April 13, 2008
His presidential campaign opponent, Hillary Clinton, seized on this statement, considered to be a rookie political mistake.
“I was taken aback by the demeaning remarks Senator Obama made about people in small-town America. His remarks are elitist and out of touch.” – Hillary Clinton, April 22, 2008
Unfortunately, Clinton didn’t learn from Obama’s political error. In remarks not included in her prepared speech at a glitzy New York City fundraiser at the Cipriani restaurant with Barbra Streisand, she screwed up in an attempt to fire up the crowd of donors.
“I am all that stands between you and the apocalypse. Just grossly generalistics, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? They’re irredeemable … Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and Islamophobic.” – Hillary Clinton, September 9, 2016
Biden, the faux unifier, seemingly believes that he can continue to insult MAGA policy believers, calling them “extreme, “mean spirited” and “semi-fascist” while trying to save his party?
Ask yourself – how can a belief in making America great again be extreme and mean-spirited. Remember what was achieved under that slogan by our 45th president.
And when you go to the polls on November 8, ask yourself if you are better off today than you were under President Trump.
May God continue to bless the United States of America.
