“America was an idea.”

Former Vice President Joe Biden tweeted that statement Wednesday evening, describing the country he wishes to lead — in the past tense.

Biden included a link to a podcast interview with Brené Brown, and an audio clip in which he repeated the same message — “America was an idea”:

Lexington green? Yeah, that was the Green New Deal in 1775.

Joe Biden was a plagiarist, one who steals other peoples’ ideas and presents them as his own.

I don’t think this was an original thought of Biden’s. Truth be known his behind the scenes marxist/socialist/communist controllers spoon feed him this stuff and he dutifully goes out and earps it up to the press each day.

America is the greatest nation in history because it was the first nation in history founded on the principles necessary for life proper to a rational being. It was a new political paradigm composed of ideals whose complete realization can only be achieved in the remote future. The fact that humans, with a fallen nature, have not yet fully achieved those ideals does not negate or nullify those ideals or principles, or make America a bad country.

Strange that there exists no mention of America being just an idea in the Constitution. It appears the Founders were setting up a nation to guarantee the idea of liberty.

Biden has been in Washington for 47 years, but he evidently thinks that it is not him that has fallen short.

The Brene brown podcast connection here worries me. I know this podcast and this election seems to be shaping up very much male vs female which is not good as females vote more.

America is the greatest country ever. Biden was a senator with a half functioning brain coddled for decades by a corrupt media; and he is no longer.

Guided by God, our Founding Fathers envisioned a country where The People would control themselves, not be controlled. Y the Government. Our ‘leaders’ now believe they should have complete control over us, instead of serving us.

When I was young, Government jobs didn’t pay very well but had great perks. With so many self-serving people being elected, now Government jobs pay more than the Private Sector, and it’s the Private Sector pays all the bills. Trump is different. He is the first President in a long time, who believes in the American People.

God’s greatest experiment in freedom for the People is in peril. This election will determine if we keep on the path of self governance OR we go down the Socialist/Communist rabbit hole with every other country on Earth. There is only one country that is a beacon of Light in the dark. I pray and believe that the American People will choose the right path.

Everything is an idea. Reality is truth and cannot be the same for everybody. But life is the culmination of ideas from that same everybody to reach an undeterminable goal.

Joe is the same as everyone else, no smarter, no better. His reality is different than others and is somehow always a copy of his imagination. He really thinks he can change things that he has no power over. So he philosophizes his limited reality into perceived success for everybody based upon a limited amount of followers and an unlimited amount of people looking for something, anything, to make their life better, and are miss taught the need. Kind of like a baby that cries because it needs something, it just doesn’t know what with only it’s surroundings.

An organization that represents itself as nirvana like the socialist/libs is just pandering for themselves. And they are the greatest con in the world. Maybe a well planned one, but the best. And Joe is hip deep in it whether he is aware of it or not. Or is aware of anything but his perceptions that are destined for failure based upon other’s reality. Unfortunately, too many have been taught that reality isn’t fair or right. And fantasy is safer and easier to manipulate. It creates brainless people, zombies, rather than productive humans. And some feed off that, like Joe, and other democrats in all their ways, in his stupor.

There was a democrat in the past few years, who said he wondered what form of government the US would have in the near future. it may have been Biden.

Sounds as if that person has no confidence in our current Constitutional government.

Democrat party members have always hated the idea of America.
They are the ones who brought chaos to our country.

What a lineup of crooks.
obama, Joe Biden, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry.
