The Blue-Collar Joe Biden Myth Is A Lie
19FortyFive ^ | 2/14/2021 | Peter Suicu

Posted on 02/14/2021 6:06:29 AM PST by Onthebrink

On the eve of the Presidential election, then-candidate Joe Biden spoke at a union hall in Pittsburgh and promised to be “the most pro-union president you’ve ever seen.” Such lofty promises weren’t surprising, coming from Biden. Once again, the rehashing of the tired blue-collar Joe Biden myth begins.

If these so called blue collar types think China Joek is on their side I have some oceanfront property in Nebraska to sell them.

It’s been a myth since the 1970s, much like the Constitution...

The unions working the XL pipeline learned just how “pro-union” “Dementia Joe” really is.

He’s got a job, as a full-time blog pimp. Seems to work quite hard at it.

Trump had more in common with us than any of these democrat elites ever had or will have. Seriously, he seemed he’d fit right in on the jobsite!

Biden is nothing more than a political hack doing whatever his paymasters tell him to do - while the media eat it up.

He’s been in politics for almost 50 years and has nothing to show for it.

The Blue-Collar Joe Biden Myth Is A Lie.

Everything public about PLUGS is probably a lie...even from way back.

The first thing he does is eliminate 11,000 union jobs.

I am glad they mentioned Joe Biden’s father’s used car business in Scranton. It was rumored to be super sketchy and the precise reason on how the Biden’s ended up in Deleware.

I think the bigger myth is that the unions give a rip about their own membership. What they see in Biden is a golden opportunity to assault the “Right to Work” states, and to slant the rules toward union organizers. If the national unions need to sacrifice 11,000 workers in the short-term then they regard that as an investment. I would say that they got suckered because Joe’s big money backers want to sell off manufacturing to China and the very jobs that the unions expect will never materialize.

Joe Stolen is an empty suit, a hollow puppet to be filled with whatever platitudes and pithy observations inscribed by others for delivery to the masses, while the pullers of the strings toil tirelessly in the background to erase as much of the legacy of Donald J. Trump as can be accomplished without open armed confrontation with the supporters of the core beliefs and principles of the American Dream.

The American Dream has been abused and slandered before in the history of the nation, and often bandied about as something it is not. Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness are not some idle speculations, these are among the God-given RIGHTS of all those who chose to call themselves Americans, unabashedly and wholehearted, and not trying to combine that set of aspirations with some form of command-and-control regime, which is totally antithetical to the concept of freedom and liberty envisioned by the Founding Fathers.

This spirit lives on, tended and guarded by the honest yeomen and tender loving mothers who inculcate these beliefs in their children before the age of six. There is a concerted effort to try to drown these aspirations by government-connected institutions of learning, from perhaps kindergarten all the way through Ph.D. programs at university level, and in many instances, the indoctrination is successful in erasing or diminishing the spark of freedom that glowed so early in life.

Yet in the background, a separate but much more dedicated system of education exists, that does not rely on indoctrination, has proved to be the source of the real guardians of the flame of freedom and liberty, teaching a less sanitized but more accurate representation of what it was, remains. and continues to be, a child of the American Dream and extends the Great American Experiment.

All is not lost. There is a base to build upon, and a sufficiently large enough core group to extend and render meaningful circulation of the timeless virtues of the American Dream.

Benjamin Franklin outlined the use of thirteen virtues (Temperance, Silence, Order, Resolution, Frugality, Industry, Sincerity, Justice, Moderation, Cleanliness, Tranquility, Chastity and Humility) by which one could improve one’s life became an integral part of his image. In his Autobiography, he claims to desire to “acquire the habitude (emphasis original) of all these virtues.”

“He’s been in politics for almost 50 years and has nothing to show for it.”

***

I think if we had access to his investment account information you’d agree he does have something to show for it.

Graft, corruption, and influence pedaling is very lucrative

Awesome!!!

I am in awe of how well you pointed out the failings of the overlords. It is all part of the plan, erase the founding fathers achievements and eventually, the only thing taught will be the liberal philosophy of those in charge.

Thank you!

They forgot to ask which unions. There’s the Union of Concerned Scientists, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, for two examples of non-labor unions.
