Biden may be the last president of the ‘essential nation’
The Hill ^ | 10/24/2023 | GREGORY WALLANCE

Posted on 10/24/2023 12:32:49 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

There was a poignant moment at the end of President Biden’s Oval Office address about the need for American aid to Ukraine and Israel. Biden shifted slightly in his chair, pointed with a finger for emphasis, and spoke about the historic role of America as the “essential nation” and the “beacon to the world.”

Biden, who had just returned from Israel, believes that to the marrow of his bones. What made the moment poignant was a sense that he was pleading with the American people to believe it, too.

Biden rhetorically asked, “Why does this matter to America?” and answered that dictators and terrorists will not relent until they pay a price for their aggression. But increasingly, Americans are answering, “It shouldn’t matter to us.”

He was, in fact, crapping his diaper at that moment.

” believes that to the marrow of his bones “

Did they mention the fact that the America we always thought we were living in was replaced in 1871 by the United States Corporation?

Well after four long years with Whomever’s Sockpuppet ‘at the helm’, the United States will no longer be the “essential nation”.
In my opinion China is now or will be by January 2025, the “essential nation”.
The US will probably be about 3 or 4 on that “Essential” list.

America as the “essential nation” and the “beacon to the world.”

America was a beacon to the world because of our limited government, free economy, and explicit Christian morality. It made us strong, which made us "essential."

The words have now become merely a stupid slogan to be used in emails and presentations in Washington DC. The people who now rule over America from Washington DC inherited this power, did nothing to earn it, and arrogantly believe their central-planning, social-engineering and political scheming is the source of USA's power.

The author should step back and point out that Joe Biden represents the character of modern America perfectly: a fading, decrepit, corrupt nation that is falling apart before our eyes.

Not only is America not “essential” anymore. Other nations would do well to take note of what we’ve become and figure out a way to keep us the hell away from them.

Using the term, PRESIDENT, rather loosely, of course.

To paraphrase the immortal William Faulkner (he was describing Los Angeles in particular) … “Everything in America is too large, too loud and usually banal in concept. It is the plastic asshole of the world.”

America is a beacon to the world BY EXAMPLE, not by carrying every other country on our shoulders. We can’t afford to spend hundreds of billions of tax payer dollars to everyone who wants our money.

The only thing he believes "to the marrow of his bones" is that he's entitled to his 10%.

How quaint, being lectured by a Quisling Puppet President who molested his 11 year old daughter. Yeah, Americans are going to look at the filthy degenerate Joe Biden as a moral compass. /spit

That's been the Halfrican's Islamic plan all along. Destroy the nation that let him become President.
