Democrat, Demented or Demonic?
Lunch Bucket Joe has always taken communion at the chancel rail of the Politichurch.
Is Joe Biden a Democrat, simply demented or is he truly demonic?
Legitimate question, I would say.
It is looking a lot like he is a little of all three.
Policy wise, he is most certainly a left-wing Democrat, his obvious cognitive decline supports dementia and lastly, his crass, uncaring, unfeeling decisions lend strong support to the last one.
An article by Scott McKay at American Spectator got me thinking about the real possibility that we are seeing the real Joe Biden, not the media fiction that has been created to protect Barack Obama's presidency and now to get a Trump out and a Democrat, any Democrat, back in the White House.
McKay makes the argument that the Joe we see today is the Joe that has always been, writing:
“But what you need to understand about Joe Biden is that his lack of intelligence obscures his low character. Joe Biden is an utterly dishonest man. He’s an unpatriotic, greedy, vain, venal, and vicious individual who has left a trail of destruction behind every step he’s taken.”
I do not know why I should be surprised; this is a man who learned his values and earned his stripes in government over the past half century. He claims membership in the Catholic Church, and yet his communion has always been at the chancel rail of government. His soul was cleansed by the wine and wafers of the politichurch, the institution of the uniparty where statolatry is the practice.
His moral reward system was based on grift and graft, and like a snake, he learned how to navigate the undulating tunnels of Capitol Hill.
His rise within the Democrat ranks was driven more by longevity than intelligence and accomplishment. He lied early and often about his academic and professional “accomplishments”, miserably failed in his previous attempts to capture the Democrat nomination for president and only succeeded on the third try because the 2020 field was just so terribly awful.
Given what we have seen out of him over the past several months reveals just how horrible, because if anyone knows Joe, it is the “bigs” in the Democrat camp – and they still chose to elevate him.
I think McKay is right when he says the President “…is a creep, a sexual predator if Tara Reade and others are to be believed (and they are), a racist of long standing and a man devoid of any notion of ethics. He’s a shameless liar and, so far in his time as president, a lawless tyrant.”
But the fact remains that Biden is simply a product of a system that churns out evil by the metric ton. His very construction is the result of policies, systems and ideologies that draw from the infinite reserves of human hubris, greed, status, and power.
McKay posits the self-made vortex spinning around Biden’s presidency may suck us all in.
Fair point.
Biden may well be the force that pushes America beyond the tipping point, one that the totally frivolous and unserious American left has been building for decades.
Every forest gains benefit from a cleansing fire, and the evil of the Biden presidency by may well spark the fire America needs to recover.
WE are truly in a battle between Good and Evil .... Darkness and Light ... Joe is pure Evil and Darkness ....
I think Biden is a symptom of unquestioned assumptions on politics, government and morality. Having lost sight of the nature of government or any sense of the classical virtues and replaced it with empty slogans of 'freedom' and 'free speech', conservatives couldn't even conserve the women's bathroom. The Democrat party has an inverted view of morality, but they also have a clear vision of 'antiracism', 'equity', 'diversity', 'inclusion' and free choice as the ultimate arbiter of this false morality. They obtain power in the attempt to realize this vision. Conservatives and Republicans, on the other hand, have forgotten what politics and government is. They have become repulsed by power in the abstract, focusing on 'limited government', tax cuts, and policies and procedures independent of a coherent vision of society. Lacking a clear vision and goal, once in power they accomplish absolutely nothing because they have completely neutered themselves. Meanwhile, cultural Marxism continues to consume everything it touches. America is in need of a complete paradigm shift.
