There is an old saying did actions speak louder than words, this describes Joe Biden perfectly. In his inaugural address, Biden called for unity but those words have no real meaning because he is hypocritically doing the opposite.
The speech itself
In a speech allegedly about bringing unity to the United States following a very divisive time inserted divisive references white supremacy. Normally this would not be a problem after all condemning real white supremacy moments like the KKK is a proper thing to do. However, Biden was not referring to such groups base on the way he and other Democrats have been talking he clearly used that term in reference to anyone who voted for President Trump and still supports him, apparently without regard to a person's actual skin color. A speech on unity would still not be a proper time to use such terminology even if you were referring to the KKK. However, using such a bigoted term to refer to political dissenters in general, and in a speech that is supposed to be about unity, is not only inappropriate but counterproductive.
The redefinition of words
One of the tricks of the left and for decades has been redefining words to fit their agenda. They have done this repeatedly with words such as marriage, sex, gender, hate, bigotry, and many many others. Such redefinitions have two purposes.
- To confuse people as to what you actually mean by what you are saying. For example, the dictionary definition of hate is to feel intense or passionate dislike for someone or something. However, what the left means by hate is not wanting to give in to the demands of certain groups. By their way of thinking not giving a drunkard all the alcoholic beverages that he wants is hatred. When the most loving thing you can do is to lock the person in a room until they dry out completely.
- To control the ideas that can be communicated. Because we do not communicate telepathically the only method we have at our disposal is the use of words in communicating ideas. Yes sometimes pictures and numbers can be used to communicate ideas but even they need to be explained by words. Therefore if you can redefine terms to fit your ideology it can become impossible to communicate different ideas. I have had numerous discussions for leftists over the years and I have found it harder and harder in recent years to actually communicate with them. We used to have the same meaning for words making communication and understanding possible, however, that is quickly changing making it harder and even impossible for conservatives to actually communicate with leftists.
Actions speak louder than words
If a body were really interested and uniting this country again there are several things that he would do none of which he has done and is never likely to do. Doing just some of these would at least show some sincerity in his words.
- Call for an end to this impeachment farce. Anybody who has actually listened to or read President Trump's speech on January 6th, 2021 can see he was not trying to incite violence of any kind, on the contrary, he was trying to help ensure it would be none by emphasizing peaceful protest. Add to that the fact that it is already known that the incursion of the capital was not spontaneous but planned well in advance. All this impeachment in the continued process are doing is driving a further divisive wedge in this country. Even if he could not stop it he could at least speak out against it but he is actually encouraged it.
- You can stop using inflammatory language against his political opponents and including anyone who voted for President Trump.
- He could announce and set up a commission for the express purpose of investigating and getting to the bottom of the allegations of election fraud. After all, if the election was indeed honest there would be nothing to lose. Adding on the caveat of not running for re-election if sufficient fraud was proven that it affected the outcome of the election would help all the more.
- At the very least you could have not been in such a rush to undo everything President Trump did that he has the ability to undo. He could at least take an honest look at those policies to see if there are any that are worth keeping.
- He could have at least appointed somebody to his cabinet that would not be scary for anybody to the right of Joseph Stalin.
- He could at least take a stand against efforts by Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and even Amazon to shut down conservative voices.
The reality behind Biden's words
The unity Joe Biden was actually referring to is not truly to reunite a divided nation but one in which no dissent or opposition is allowed. Biden's idea of unity is no one being allowed to disagree at least publicly with anything he says or does. This is the way you left this work in every country where they gain power it is ultimately their only way of holding on to power. The big difference between Trump and Biden is that with Trump the division was from without in that the establishment in both parties was out to get him from day one in the lamestream media attack him every day of his presidency. Biden on the other hand speaks unity but actively seeks to divide.
About all, we can do at this point is to hope and pray did the Republicans in the Senate will have enough guts can use the one power they have left, the filibuster, and not give it up to cause repeated gridlock is stopped as much of the damage that will occur if they are allowed to get everything they want. The simple fact is the findings call for unity in his inaugural address were totally devoid have any real meaning but empty words to give the press and other leftists something to fawn over.
