Former Rolling Stone Editor: Biden's 'Menacing Manifesto' Created a Bigger Problem
[Townhall] It may seem like ages ago, but only ten days have passed since President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity, except maybe for abandoning Afghanistan...
decided to use Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to declare war on half the country. Mr. Unity is dead—never having any chance to bring together a nation with an agenda that only favors the ’woke,’ educated, and wealthy. In other words, people who live on the coasts and in cities. The other side is that he could never articulate his intentions since he’s dementia ridden. When Biden can enunciate with the help of drugs, it consistently demonizes people who didn’t vote for him. That reached a boiling point with this September 3 address. I thought it had a throwback feeling to a Nuremberg rally c. 1938. Former Rolling Stone contributing editor Matt Taibbi said it reminded him of a Rammstein concert.

Taibbi focused on a critical portion of the address, where Biden spoke about how MAGA Republicans threaten the republic and what he plans to do. Will there be consequences for merely voting differently than the Democratic Party because it sure seems that way with a second reading of the address? Taibbi used this speech to blame both parties for going off the rails regarding threat assessment. Some it is well-founded, while other aspects you might find disagreeable. The former Rolling Stone writer said that Trump’s 2016 speech was pervasively negative and "a pure horror movie" when the then-Republican nominee spoke of lawlessness and disorder in America. Fast-forward to the summer of 2020, and Trump was right—thanks to Democrats’ penchant for soft-on-crime policies.

Yet, Taibbi decided the blame was a bipartisan issue. Biden’s speech, in Taibbi’s opinion, is a continuation of a failed American foreign policy effort that the Delaware liberal stupidly turned into a domestic action item. The liberal writer refers to George W. Bush’s 2002 State of the Union address, where he outlined the global war on terror, aptly known as the ’long war’ at the Pentagon, and divided the world into two camps, pro-freedom and pro-terrorist. This speech was also the unveiling of America’s crusade against the "axis of evil," which became the fuel from which the fire of endless wars could be started. Evil must be rooted out everywhere, and American troops will do the heavy lifting while exporting liberal democratic principles into these regions to ensure no such pernicious forces can thrive again.
