Biden invoked the courage of George Washington\u2019s army in the winter of 1777 to demand that Americans quiver in fear at the prospect of end of his reign.<\/p>\n<p>Biden endlessly reminded viewers that democracy is a \u201csacred cause.\u201d A weary chant of \u201cfour more years\u201d arose, raising suspicions that the campaign event was being held at an old folks\u2019 home.<\/p>\n<p>But the venue sufficed for Biden to exploit a venerable American historical site to castigate anyone who opposed his re-election.<\/p>\n<p>Biden boasted: \u201cWe are still a nation that gives hate no safe harbor.\u201d A few minutes before that uplifting assertion, Biden accused Donald Trump of \u201cechoing the same exact language used in Nazi Germany.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CNN reported on Tuesday that Biden campaign aides plan to go \u201cfull Hitler\u201d on Trump making \u201ca direct comparison to the Nazi leader rather than couching their attacks by saying Trump \u2018parroted\u2019 him.\u201d A few weeks ago, the Biden campaign posted a graphic on Twitter comparing Trump and Hitler\u2019s rhetoric.<\/p>\n<p>Biden castigated Trump as the \u201cElection Denier in Chief,\u201d a new offense not yet been codified in the statute book. Biden endlessly warned that Trump posed a deadly threat to both freedom and democracy.<\/p>\n<p>Biden derided conservative activists in his speech, asking, \u201cEver think you would be at a political event talk about book banning for presidential election?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Biden neglected to explain that his vision of democracy did not include freedom of speech for his opponents.<\/p>\n<p>On July 4, Federal Judge Terry Doughty condemned the Biden administration for potentially \u201cthe most massive attack against free speech in United States history,\u201d and a federal appeals court condemned Team Biden for \u201csuppressing millions of protected free-speech postings by American citizens\u201d \u2014 mostly by conservatives and Republicans.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n<div class=\"inline-module inline-module--related-post\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__inner\">\n<h2 class=\"inline-module__heading subsection-heading subsection-heading--underline\"><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p><strong>Biden\u2019s Justice Department is fighting tooth and nail at the Supreme Court to preserve his power to secretly censor anyone the feds claim is spouting disinformation, perhaps including denying that Biden is God\u2019s gift to America.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Biden assured the audience that \u201cwe still believe that no one, not even the president, is above the law.\u201d Okay, but what if the president or the vice president uses the names Robert Peters, Robin Ware and JRB Ware as email aliases to hustle business deals for a family member? Is it OK for them to slip the law then?<\/p>\n<p>The only way to assume that Biden is not \u201cabove the law\u201d is to assume that his decrees alone are THE LAW. The Supreme Court struck down his COVID vaccine mandate, his moratorium for evicting deadbeat renters, his $500 billion federal student loan forgiveness scheme, and numerous other Biden policies.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, states are arguing in front of the Supreme Court to remove Trump from the ballot, as Biden\u2019s Justice Department scrambles to try and jail the ex-president before the election.<\/p>\n<p>Obvi<strong>ously, if Americans value democracy, then the presidential candidate favored by the most voters in recent polls must not be allowed on the ballot. Team Biden favors a version of \u201cGuardian Democracy\u201d where voters are only permitted to cast ballots for candidates that the ruling class approves.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Why should we believe that democracy dies unless Biden gets four more years of flouting Congress and the Courts to do whatever he pleases through executive order?<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s policies are unpopular. His polls are in a hole. This is his only argument for re-election, and its pretty rich.
