Joe Biden went to Pointe du Hoc in Normandy, France, on Friday, the famous site where Army Rangers scaled the high cliffs to take out the German artillery in an incredibly brave effort on D-Day, 80 years ago.
Biden shuffled in, with someone walking with him, seemingly confused about where to go at one point.
Biden wanted to have a "Ronald Reagan" moment, the inspiring moment when he spoke about the "boys of Pointe du Hoc." But he's Joe Biden so, of course, he had to somehow make it about himself and his agenda. He used it to talk about the importance of "democracy" as well as Putin and Ukraine.
Does this sound like Reagan? I'm thinking not so much.
He had trouble with "Pointe du Hoc."
Then he had this stirring, inspiring word salad.
BIDEN: "We talk about democracy ... we don't talk about is how hard it is, how many ways we're asked to walk away, how many instincts are to walk away, the most natural instinct is to walk away..." 🤔
Um, maybe "democracy" isn't targeting political opponents or trying to kick them off ballots? Maybe that isn't what our republic is about. And maybe when you do that, you are "walking away" from what our founding principles are all about.
Biden went on to say that the Rangers would have wanted people to stand up against Vladimir Putin, appropriating them for his Ukraine obsession. Maybe this day is about them and their sacrifice — not about the agenda you are pushing now?
Maybe you shouldn't be presuming what they have to think. Who is wanting America to "go it alone"? Not former President Donald Trump, who helped bring further peace to the Middle East. I think Biden's words here are supposed to be an attack on Trump, but it doesn't make a lot of sense. Putting Americans first doesn't mean not having allies or supporting them. Trump, for example, didn't throw our allies in Israel or Afghanistan under the bus, as Biden has, with a variety of actions.
Let's listen to the major difference between Biden and Reagan and what makes for an inspirational speech.
VIDEO AT LINK..............
Reagan didn't have teleprompters for help like Biden; just some notes that he barely looked at.
I think it's fair to say that Biden's words will not have the resonance or effect of Reagan's.
So President Poopy-pants shuffles in, feebly mumbles a few nonsensical platitudes, and looks around wondering where to walk or whether to sit or stand. And he claims that the other world leaders are begging him not to let Trump win this November. Yeah, I can buy that ONLY because they know that Biden will let them continue sponging defense dollars off us and Trump won’t.
His woke copy cat speech writers pretty much plagiarized President Reagan’s speech.
Famous democracies...
Cuba. North Korea. USSR. Iraq. Iran.
“how many ways we’re asked to walk away, how many instincts are to walk away, the most natural instinct is to walk away...””
Psycho babble for his base I suppose.
Hopefully they just walk away..................
That’s his thing.................
Two wolfs and a sheep deciding what’s for dinner.
Likely a very pathetic show. Am glad that I shared Reagan’s speech here yesterday morning first thing and thanks to those who commented.
3 men and two women on a deserted island deciding who, what, where when and how. “democracy...a form of government that allows 51% of the people to dictate to the other 49% how they must conduct their lives. or else.”
Biden probably thinks that George Washington was elected unanimously only because he had all the other candidates removed from the ballot.
Did he shit himself today?
Did he shit himself today?
Indeed they use the democracy word for bait for something that doesn’t exist with them.
Kind of like leprechaun with no pot of gold.
Easy. Democracy is the system where the government chooses the people.
Any nation that deliberately allows itself to be ruled by a mentally defective pervert deserves its fate.
If the entire world sees what we see in this creepy idiot what does that say about our future as a viable nation? How can America be considered viable with an insurmountable debt load? With the judiciary involved in banana republic actions? With a do-nothing Congress? With an underclass as large a burden as now exists?
If we don’t wake up and cause this government to drastically shrink and our ungovernable underclass begin to toe the line
then our condition is utterly hopeless.
Parents have allowed their offspring to rebel in a way that is baffling. They spend their time not in studies, but in laying down roadways and burning and looting.
Waske up and support Donald J Trump.....BIG time!
Biden: Two hundred and twenty five American Rangers arrived by ship, jumped into the waves and stormed the beach.
Reagan: Two hundred and twenty five Rangers jumped off the British landing craft and ran to the bottom of these cliffs.
Biden: Gunfire rained above them, but still, they kept coming. Nazi grenades thrown from above exploded against the cliffs, but still, they kept coming.
Reagan: The Rangers looked up and saw the enemy soldiers at the edge of the cliffs, shooting down at them with machine guns and throwing grenades, and the American Rangers began to climb.
Biden: They launched their ladders, their ropes and grappling hooks, and they began to climb.
Reagan: They shot rope ladders over the face of these cliffs and began to pull themselves up.
Biden: When the Nazis cut their ladders, the Rangers used the ropes and the Nazis cut the ropes. The Rangers used their hands.
Reagan: When one Ranger fell, another would take his place. When one rope was cut, a ranger would grab another and begin his climb again.
Biden: And inch by inch, foot by foot, yard by yard, the Rangers clawed, literally clawed their way up this mighty precipice until the last they reached the top.
Reagan: Soon, one by one, the Rangers pulled themselves over the top.
Biden: They breached Hitler’s Atlantic Wall, and they turned, in that one effort, the tide of the war that began to save the world.
Reagan: And in seizing the firm land at the top of these cliffs, they began to seize back the continent of Europe.
Hard to walk away with a pantload…
