Like this nonsensical statement:

"As I said, I’ve met with all of you for many years, and hopefully you view me as I view you, as a personal friend. I just wanted to make it clear I’m not lecturing, I’m not imparting any great wisdom that you don’t already know."

This while trying to explain how somehow our declaration of independence is really about subordinating our individual liberty to the common collective:

"all of you know it requires great sacrifice and the willingness to subordinate your individual interest to the communal good."

Of course, Biden would never sacrifice HIS liberty for the common good; But his bastardization of the statement "united we stand" is pathetic and disgusting. We don't subordinate our liberty for the communal good, it is our individual liberty protected by a limited government that ensures the communal good.

But the concept of subordinating your individual interest is fundamental to the success of any nation.

To say these words on Independence day is ridiculous.

It goes against our very foundation.
