For our own good
American Thinker ^ | 25 May, 2022 | Alison Tempestilli

Posted on 05/25/2022 4:34:33 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The dwindling percentage of those who think the Bumbler-in-Chief is a compassionate healer and uniter are not paying attention to his cold and calculating reactions to our daily troubles.

When I was a kid, there were many decisions my parents made for me under the guise of, “It’s for your own good.” I was pressed to eat my vegetables, put my gift money in the bank for college, get home before dark and dress nice for school (black clothes non-negotiable.) I was not always a happy camper then, but realized once I got older that the dictates of my parents really were in my best interest.

Now there is an angry old man in the White House who believes that his damaging and unrealistic policies are for our own good. Of course, his idea of what is best for us is in direct opposition of what would keep us healthy and happy. Saving accounts savaged by a failing economy, rampant crime spreading throughout the country, an invasion at the border, and the prospect of multiple wars are all the result of his directives. More and more Americans suffer and Joe just doubles down on the hurt. If his policies were really for our own good, he would not spend so much time on the tactics of placing blame and reframing the issues. High gas prices are causing major budgeting woes for businesses and families, but instead of acting in our best interest, Old Joe uses both tactics by blaming Russia and then calling the crisis an incredible transformation.

The left hates the USA and wants it torn down. I don’t think that is good for anyone except our enemies.

I get it. But when is the big reveal as to the replacement?

Why does ANYBODY still believe that our politicians have in mind - “what is best or what is good” for we citizens???

They know that they no longer have to fear us at the voting booth.

The policies that they declare and shove onto us is all about 2 things:

1. Diminishing OUR power
2. Increasing theirs.

Party doesn’t matter; you’re either affiliated with the government or you’re an average citizen type…. It is NOT the same “team” anymore.

An incredible transformation. As in fundamental? We were warned back in 2008.

I gotta wonder about these writers who put on this pretense - I hope it’s a pretense anyway - of surprise at how bad a job our illegally-installed “president” is doing. “Dang, he’s just so incompetent! Why doesn’t he try harder? Doesn’t he care about what people think of him?”

He’s doing a great job as far as what his owners want for him to do. He’s doing what he’s supposed to!

Biden is a barely-conscious, senile, demented vegetable. He’s not actually “doing” anything. He signs what his masters tell him to sign, goes where his masters tell him to go, and utters whatever evil nonsense his masters tell him to utter.

He doesn’t even decide what flavor of pudding to eat.

Jill should be prosecuted for “elder abuse”.

The Left in America have been dismantling the country ‘piecemeal’, for decades.

The process has accelerated now, with SO many ‘Republicans’ assisting them.

“Change” can be used as a verb too.

Absolutely and it’s amazing how many people don’t get that fact. Just like the Obama days, if you understand that, it all makes since.
