This was not the national-unity speech we were promised, but rather the \u201cothering\u201d of nearly 75 million people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pres. Biden, like dictators before him, set out to demonize \u2013 to marginalize anyone who opposes his administration\u2019s policies. History is replete with examples of where this kind of rhetoric can lead \u2013 a line was crossed last night, an America President put this country on path that can only lead to despotism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make no mistake we are in very dangerous place as a nation. Put bluntly President Biden\u2019s speech last night looked &amp; sounded like it was produced by Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl, which is frightening considering Pres. Biden just described roughly half the country as fascists. It was insulting &amp; unbecoming of a President.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what is this extreme agenda Pres. Biden was railing against? It\u2019s fairly simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Secure our borders &amp; encourage legal immigration.<\/li><li>Ensure free &amp; fair elections.<\/li><li>Become energy independent<\/li><li>Enact though on crime policies that improve public safety by ensuring repeat offenders are taken off our streets.<\/li><li>Protect the unborn<\/li><li>Protect parents\u2019 rights.<\/li><li>Enact pro-family policies<\/li><li>Improve public schools by returning to classics based liberal arts education &amp; forcing public schools to compete with private &amp; parochial schools through robust school choice programs.<\/li><li>Protect the constitutional rights of all Americans.<\/li><li>Put the economic and national security interests of America first.<\/li><li>Rebuild American manufacturing.<\/li><li>Enforce anti-trust laws and stop corporate monopolies<\/li><li>Fight government corruption<\/li><li>Stop funding endless foreign wars<\/li><li>Fix social security<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What part of that is a threat to democracy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lastly Pres. Biden and his surrogates love to call their opponents fascists, but are they really the fascists? We\u2019ve all seen the videos of armed black clad rioters taking to the streets of American cities. These groups are modern embodiment of Hitler\u2019s Brown Shirts or Mao\u2019s Red Guard using violence and intimidation to suppress opposing views. Views that they describe as \u201cextremist\u201d or a \u201cthreat to democracy\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sadly, the modern Left&#8217;s idea of \u201cdemocracy\u201d seems to be &#8216;unless we get our way without any checks or balances \u201cdemocracy\u201d itself is under attack&#8217;. That\u2019s mob rule and it is antithetical to our republican form of government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Update<\/strong>: 1:25 P.M.
