The Hole in One of Biden’s Gun Scare Stories
Claims He Heard Amish Massacre Shots from Quarter Mile Away
January 20, 2013 - 4:14 am
Joe Biden needs to take another mulligan on the facts.
He told a mayor’s conference that he heard the gunshots from the 2006 Amish school shooting while playing golf a quarter mile away. Turns out there’s no course there…not even close.
Before you laugh off another gaffe from “good old Joe,” consider the depravity of this craven man, and the administration that uses him.
He puts himself, Gump-like, near the scene of a grisly child slaughter to boost his credibility as he sells his anti-freedom agenda.
This is not pathetic or bumbling, it is calculated.
Biden and Obama are both past masters at playing the crowd. They will say whatever advances their current narrative at a given moment then think nothing of doing something totally counter to what they just said a few minutes later. To them it’s not lying, it’s just being flexible, evolving in their opinions.
Much better to watch both of them in their antics with the sound turned off. Pay attention to what they do not what they say for they have proven time and again that no words from their mouths can ever be trusted beyond the moment.
Did he crawl onto the hospital guerney to hold his dead son, too?
If Progressives wonder why all folks don’t acknowledge the “superiority” of their men, it’s because its not there. Serious character flaws. All of them–Gore, Kerry, this clown, and Obama.
Progressives and historians have simply got to realize character and intellectual integrity matter. If you get the social justice results you want, but did it the wrong way, then you clear the way for further demagoguery, and then one day the American Experiment becomes undifferentiable from mainland China–nothing but unchallengeable authoritarianism, the Empire of Rome. It also, in the present day, erodes the bonds of loyalty to the commonweal of those who were the subjects of the “30-seconds hate”, as well it should.
We have in the United States the growing participation of certain groups, which is good, but they are in my opinion particularly susceptible to the techniques of demagoguery, which is a profound problem to the long term civic health of the Republic. Say what you want about the previous incumbent of the Executive Mansion, but I am not aware that he ever made a robust full-broadside speech against one thing (raising the debt limit), then years later with not a sign of embarassment demonized others for advocating exactly what he wished in the previous speech. Praising such men as non pareils, or ignoring their clear manifest faults (e.g., the Vice-President’s bumbling nature) is a clear sign that others will have no decent complaints when the only standard is that the ends justify the means, for they embraced it themselves.
This should give us pause, for history shows that the most effective means have usually been those of force.
And I would like Progressives to understand this–I’m fully aware you just want what you call “social justice”, meaning economic wealth, for select groups, come heck or high water. Economic well-being over integrity. Economic income over any other consideration–when push comes to shove. And push does come to shove. You know some things aren’t right to do, no quite cricket, but, hey, you know, life’s hard, and you are serving a manifest destiny.
This is a time-honored constant of man. And it’s how the Indians ended up on reservations, because at the end of the day they had something somebody else wanted, for “social justice”, and thus If you feel no shame over what you do today, I feel no shame over the founding of the colonies, or the American West. I would not advocate it today, would fight against it, but at least I am not doing the same today.
It is a constant of man that you can always rationalize someone else has more than they need, and that you are superior in intelligence, culture, and manners. Once upon a time, it was about land, and today it is about income
I am not familiar with the story of Joe Biden climbing into a gurney to hold his dead son. This act I would find admirable and compassionate. No one that never lost a child would understand the grief nor the feeling of not wanting to let go of someone you love.
I do not care for Biden nor his President for what they have planned for us with their agenda and am therefore surprised at his compassion.
As always, Thank you Scott for calling him out. Your moral clarity shines through again.
That’s because they don’t embrace men who have character, they embrace men who are themselves characters. There is a huge difference that the electorate fails to discern.
He did better when he cribbed his speeches from Neil Kinnock.
I am 59 years old. When I was growing up we didn’t call things like this “calculated” or “narrative”. We called it ‘BOLD FACED LIAR’. Things sure have changed. Maybe that’s the ‘change’ they promised. In that case, they sure have delivered over the last four years.
