The Socialist Robot from Scranton

Certainly this early in the first term, it might be premature to issue judgements on Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., but we confess he has turned out to be even worse than our most disturbing nightmare.

He has divided the country further, by pitting the masked against the unmasked, the vaccinated against the unvaccinated. He has attempted to divide blacks against whites, completely buying into notions of white supremacy and Critical Race Theory. You would think he was actually the President of Black Lives Matter.

He has even taken to symbolic kneeling. The gesture, besides proving he is still pretty lithe, is that he is one them. One of those who feels America was founded in racism and still suffers from systemic racism. 

He continues his class warfare rhetoric and is even dividing the country between those who work and those who wait for a government check.  He thinks landlords should continue to pay their mortgages and pay their taxes, but collect no rent, thus dividing landlord and tenant.

He seems to believe that those who disagree with him are domestic terrorists while he is silent about his supporters conducting more than 175 major riots and killing and wounding innumerable police officers last summer leading up to the 2020 presidential election.

Even as the riots continue in places like Portland, can you recall any remarks he has made condemning such violence?

His domestic agenda is aggressively partisan. With an historically narrow margin in  the House and a 50/50 split in the Senate, he is cramming legislation through that is larger and more intrusive than the New Deal and Great Society.  

It used to be an axiom in Washington, that major social legislation required bipartisan support, or it would not stand and would not be accepted.

He has already failed at the border, failed with the economy, failed with inflation and disastrously failed in Afghanistan. To all those failures he either seems unaware or not concerned. It is as if he is above all the mess he is making.

Biden and the Democrat Party have junked that bipartisan rule and Republicans must return the favor. If Republicans can come to power, despite the plans the Democrats have to change the population of the country and all reasonable voting procedures, we must vow to repeal every law and every executive order passed during the Biden term. We must not accept this socialist assault on the nation and abuse of power.

Beside the policy disagreements we have with the man, his demeanor is strange. Scott Johnson of POWERLINK fame perhaps has the best description…animatronic.

There is something eerily mechanical about his performance. He comes out and squints into the teleprompter and reads in a stilted way, often slurring words that garble even the most carefully worded speech. He often chops the lectern with hands held identical on left and right sides, all with the grace of a puppet slightly off in timing.

He calls on reporters from a prepared list, and on August 26, actually said he had been “instructed” to call on a reporter from NBC.  Instructed by whom?  Is he that carefully programed?  Why does he have to be coached?

Someone has seen that he is very well dressed. Looking presidential is different from being presidential. An impeccable suit with matching tie is not a substitute for leadership and real intellectual substance. He puts on a show of being Presidential but there is something hollow about the whole display. It is sort of like a false front western town on the back lot of a Hollywood studio.

The skin on this face is stretched from plastic surgery and his smile is reliably crooked, as if rehearsed to perfection. His eyes are often empty, as if devoid of feeling. He can look into the camera and lie without any compunction. He can abandon tens of thousands of Americans behind enemy lines without feeling or a sense of duty. He just feels annoyance if the subject of their plight is brought up.

What did seem to arouse his emotion is when he was questioned about desperate people falling thousands of feet from departing C-17s. “That was five days ago” he snapped incorrectly. Apparently the horror of the thing and his culpability in it diminished with the passage of a few days.

He has shown a strange lack of emotion on just about everything except attacking his predecessor. 

Unlike those in the English Parliament, Biden shows no anguish, no sense of shame for what he has done in Afghanistan. It  seems all so mechanical and cold.

If questions are asked to challenge the script, he turns and walks away as if he can’t be bothered with any explanation for his disastrous policies. We are not owed any kind of discussion as he acts as if he were a king. He walks away slowly, with diffidence. It is either that he that needs to flee or his instructions are to escape to a safe space as soon as he is confronted.

It is almost as if he was created for Disneyland’s audio animatronic show  although we suspect Abe Lincoln would run from the stage if Biden were included.  And he is far too flat for the Country Bear Jamboree. 

Biden’s mouth is moving but you get the feeling that the words are not his and that what remains of this brain has become a recording device, and a bad one at that. He is the White House animatronic show with a Marxian dialogue.

Say what you will about Trump, but he was spontaneous, rushed to the microphone and took the questions, answering off the cuff, sometimes to his detriment. He was so much in charge, he had trouble keeping some key people in cabinet positions. But at least he was genuine. He may have had views with which you disagree, but you never questioned those were his heartfelt opinions. Biden acts like a robot whose batteries are fading.

There is a calculated coldness about the man. It reminds one of dictators such as Joseph Stalin who once noted that the death of one man is a tragedy but the death of millions is a statistic. He seems unmoved by the Americans he has put in harm’s way, the certain death of many of our Afghan allies and the crisis he has foisted on NATO.  We have a deadline to meet and that is that. If Americans can’t get out, they are on their own. They are now just a statistic.

An orderly withdrawal could have been engineered with due consideration to Americans and those that supported us. And, it could have been done without arming the Taliban to the teeth.

History will judge his actions harshly and so should we as voters.
