Joe Biden’s Disgraceful Attack on America Makes It Tough to Respect Him
By: Larry Tomczak
Biden calling us a systemically racist nation is a libelous slander and defamation of our exceptional nation. He is deserving of our contempt for that position. As Senator Scott said, America is not a racist nation.
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
“What men build with their gifting, they destroy with their character.”
Jesus directs us to discern the fruit of a person’s life (Matt. 7:16). At 100 days, in a state of obvious cognitive decline, Joe Biden, who was a moderate, law and order, pro-life politician, has become the most liberal, radical president in U.S. history.
He has sent gas prices skyrocketing (grocery prices will soon follow) and aggressively pushed abortion, LGBTQ activism, illegal immigration (concealing and lying about the crisis), voting liberalization, massive taxation, spending chicanery, ending successful economic policies, bowing to Iran, $90 trillion Green New Deal and misled the nation on Georgia’s voter integrity initiative as “Jim Crow 2.”
Radical socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez celebrated these disturbing developments declaring that he has “exceeded expectations for progressives” seeking to transform America.
Stay with me. I’m not being unkind but honest and hopeful multitudes will be jolted into the brutal reality of what’s going on.
Remembering Reagan
A few days ago I was privileged to have an almost 3-hour lunch with a former speechwriter for President Ronald Reagan. Imagine crafting a speech alongside “the Gipper” intended to convey a patriotic love for America and our legacy of freedom.
For those unfamiliar with the passion of the iconic statesman who was called the “Great Communicator,” recall Reagan’s respect for our great nation.
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.
“You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We’ll preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we’ll sentence them to take the last step into 1,000 years of darkness.”
It’s been said that you communicate what you know, but you impart who you are. Contrast the above with the inflammatory, suspicion-sowing statement from Biden following the Floyd verdict in Minneapolis.
Instead of seizing the opportunity to rightfully pay tribute to America, our system of justice and honor the outstanding work of the judge and jury in a fair trial celebrating due process and meticulous investigation envied by much of the world, Biden engaged in a shameful indictment of our nation insulting hundreds of millions of Americans. Former Speaker of the House and statesman, Newt Gingrich was stunned by his reckless rhetoric.
What Did Biden Say?
“It was murder in the full light of day, and it ripped the blinders off for the whole world to see the systemic racism the Vice President just referred to—the systemic racism that is a stain on our nation’s soul; the knee on the neck of justice for Black Americans; the profound fear and trauma, the pain, the exhaustion that Black and brown Americans experience every single day. … tackle systemic misconduct in police departments, to restore trust between law enforcement and the people they are entrusted to serve and protect.”
These words were a slap in the face to millions of Americans as he trashed the United States of America before the entire world. This was something so reprehensible it stunned scores of onlookers. It was unprecedented and, in fact, never in our history has a sitting president blatantly insulted America as he did.
I was no fan of Obama but will credit him that while in office, he never directly lambasted the people of America, although he did make some dubious and nuanced statements at times. He was careful and measured with what he said in his esteemed position of president of the United States. Granted, since he’s left office, he’s made some provocative statements in engagement with Trump.
Millions were rightfully offended by Biden’s official White House address. This man with one sweeping statement included all of us in the “progressive” anti-America movement’s communication of the false and dangerous narrative of “systemic racism.” His remarks were unwarranted, unfair and absolutely untrue! In America, like in every nation, there are some people who have racist attitudes toward minorities and people of different skin color or ethnic backgrounds, but it is not true as Biden asserted that every part of America’s society is permeated with racism.
Who Did He Harm?
Joe Biden’s reckless assertions hurt America’s reputation in the eyes of a watching world. They adversely affect the upcoming generation as children and young people are impressionable and easily misled. And they give aggressive adversaries like China, Iran and Russia ammunition to further propagandize against us using Biden’s own words.
Even more specifically, Joe Biden’s remarks implicated:
— Every one of the 80,000 Americans serving and protecting us in law enforcement who are increasingly disrespected and demonized because Biden and race-baiters repeatedly communicate a false narrative that police are racists hunting down and wantonly killing unarmed Blacks in America. I heard a survey this week where those polled believe a thousand Black Americans are shot by police each year!
The facts (registered even in the leftist leaning Washington Post database) prove there is no widespread epidemic of “cop killers” amidst America’s 80,000 police. In 2019, 26 unarmed white Americans and 12 Black Americans were shot by police in the line of duty. In 2020, 24 unarmed whites and 18 Blacks were fatally shot out of 340 million Americans. How many were violent? Had knives and threatened officers? Resisted arrest? Were criminals, not “children,” and were crazed on drugs?
— Biden cast aspersions on every public servant in Congress, suggesting they are either unable or unwilling to work to eradicate racism when it’s identified.
— He also denigrated every single one of millions of upstanding American citizens who are not racist but committed to loving their neighbor, looking out for the welfare of others and respecting all people because they are created in the image of God and worthy of dignity and respect.
I’ve ministered for over 50 years and traveled throughout this great nation, residing in 10 different localities. In my experience, the overwhelming majority of people are not racist but respectful of others. I contribute nothing to racism or attitudes of white supremacy and personally resent anyone lecturing me to the contrary!
Respecting Office vs. Person
Proverbs 26:1 cautions about giving honor to those who are foolish rather than wise. I submit that what Biden did on the world stage after the Floyd verdict was not just foolish but disgraceful and dishonest. His uncalled for, derogatory remarks shaming America were unprecedented for a sitting president in the history of our republic.
Sometimes people say to us, “Trust me!” But trust isn’t given; it’s earned. The same is true with respect. Regarding the presidency, I always respect the office and pray daily for the person in that office (1 Tim.2:1-3), but exercising discernment, we should withhold respect for a person if their character is lacking, their conduct is unrighteous and their competence suspect.
When Biden stood at the podium, was he a puppet-like pawn of the leftist, anti-America progressive movement? In his diminished state of cognitive decline, is it possible he was clueless to the seriousness of what he was communicating before the entire global community?
Bring Us Together?
The man who stood before us 100 days ago and in his Inaugural speech said he was going to “unify” and “bring us together” is polarizing us horribly. He’s partnering with the radical Democrat progressives intent on replacing traditional America with a secular, socialistic system of centralized government control. The key to their strategy is to continue hammering a fallacious narrative of an evil, racist America that can only be rescued and rebuilt by following a savior-like Biden and his power-hungry socialist cohorts.
Dr. Ben Carson, devoted Christian and Cabinet member in the Trump administration, was so grieved by this episode that he pled for Biden and his colleagues to “stop driving stakes of division into everything!”
Tony Perkins, respected president of the Family Research Council, said while he continues to pray daily for Biden, he acknowledged that he will pray for this administration to be “confused” and in “conflict” while promoting such an unbiblical agenda.
I encourage you to read the commentary, “Should We Pray for Favor, Blessing and Success for the Biden Administration?” , to further equip you on this extremely important theme.
Here’s the Deal: While we remain steadfast in proclaiming the gospel and praying for God’s merciful intervention in these dark days, may all of us be unwavering in refuting deception and distancing ourselves from all that is unrighteous. “I do not sit with the deceitful, nor do I associate with hypocrites. I abhor the assembly of evil doers and refuse to sit with the wicked” (Ps. 26:4-5, NIV).

Many disgraceful things occur. Perhaps the most disgraceful were the fecal stains on the back of 'The Dweller at Mar-a-Lago's' pants while he was golfing.
Some believe anything spoon fed to them..
FACT CHECK: Did President Trump Have Diarrhea on the Golf Course? (snopes.com)
Sunshine, I'm curious. Do you believe that the election last November was stolen from Donald Trump?
And come back for second and third helpings.
Mr. Russell, I'm curious. Do you believe the altered photo? Also, where was anything indicated about the "election last November"? Or are you simply lacking anything substantive to post?
I do have a question for you.
Do you believe President Trump was xenophobic for banning travel from China and President Biden is not xenophobic for banning travel from India?
I have known for , years I guess, that the shit stain on Trumps pants was photoshopped.
I asked Sunshine a question, but you can answer if you want. Do you think the election was stolen from Trump? It's an appropriate question because we currently see "conservatives" complaining about the "lie" that Trump shit in his pants (the "lie" here is really more of a prank), and yet the same conservatives largely accept Trump's far far more serious lie that the election was stolen from him.
Trump complained about the election process in every single state that he lost in a somewhat close total, and complained about the process in NONE of the states he won. Trump alleged that the election was stolen from him almost coast to coast. He complained about Arizona , Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Georgia and Wisconsin. He alleges all manner of cheating by Democrats. It's the BIG lie. Does anyone in their right mind believe that if there was cheating in an election it would only be done by Democrats, done across the entire expanse of the country, and done by many different methods? It is ludicrous, yet Trump has stuck with that BIG lie and so do many of his followers.
And we are supposed to be upset today by a brown spot on Trump's pants ?
Apparently someone is upset enough to comment on it. No one asked you to be upset about it.
No, I don't believe an election was stolen and no one needs or wants your permission to comment to any post.
We know the answer to that.
And yet you appear to intentionally avoid the question I posed to you, so I will repeat it for you now:
Do you believe President Trump was xenophobic for banning travel from China and President Biden is not xenophobic for banning travel from India?
Or are you unable to condemn Biden for the very same thing that the left condemned Trump for?
You can claim all day long what you believe as can Donald Trump. Personally, I question the actions in some places which were dubious at best, but the results stand. It's as simple as that.
I never said that Trump was xenophobic for stopping travel from China at the start of the pandemic so you can stop wasting time here.
Six months after the election Trump is still claiming the election was stolen from him and forcing the Republican Party to back him up. He obviously plans to inflict this narcissistic bullshit on people for the rest all our lives, including the 2024 presidential election.
The left and even now President Biden did. I haven't been around this site long enough to know for sure or if there is even a method to discover that, so I'll need to accept your denial.
Did you not read my response?\
As to his "narcissistic bullshit", you might be unaware of the simple fact that all people that reach the pinnacle of American politics are narcissists'. Hell, they're the most powerful people in the world. However, what he or others do in the 2024 presidential election, I have no idea. My crystal ball is not strong enough to look that far into the future.
No one has been like Trump, the worst and most dishonest president in US history. People who say Trump is just like every other politician are being dishonest themselves.
True. No one has been like Trump. He did what he promised to do, or at least tried to do so with whatever means was at his disposal.
Presidents for decades had promised to move the Israel embassy to Jerusalem but failed. Trump succeeded.
Presidents for decades had promised to do something about illegal immigration and failed. Trump succeeded to a point, but was stymied by a reticent congress pandering to specific voting blocks.
Presidents for decades had promised to help the blacks but ignored them and failed. Trump succeeded. Politicians gave lip service to the HBCU and some money annually, Trump made the HBCU funding permanent. Trump got prison reform and released large numbers of people imprisoned due to the Biden written (senate version) V iolent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, 1994. That legislation put more blacks behind bars than any legislation prior.
President Trump succeeded in lowering the Black, Hispanic/Latino and Asian unemployment numbers to the lowest in history and the women unemployment rate to the lowest since the 1950's (shortly after WWII and Korea sucked our males into combat).
President Trump succeeded beyond his and I'll suggest everyone's wildest dreams with Operation Warp Speed. He cajoled and incentivized private industry to develop and vaccination and potential therapies to a previously unknown virus and he cut through the bureaucratic morass of federal rules and regulations to get the final product to the people. He also worked with the private sector as well as the military to develop the logistical means to get the vaccine distributed and injected, as Biden likes to say "into the arms", of the people. Now President Biden is taking laps and praise for the accomplishments of Donald Trump.
I could go on, but I know you already know the facts even as you refuse to acknowledge them and instead go on continual rants against Trump and the right. Some of which I will admit is rightful to do.
Quite easy. Just read what I posted. For a really simple example, where is the American Embassy in Israel? You can go from there for more.
True trump did all he could on his own many times at any cost to many others.
Unfortunately for trump our country's government was designed and set up specifically to not allow any one person to have too much power.
Fortunately for America eventually trump trumped himself right out of power by his quest for his own power.
Personally I think trump did get some things done that needed to be done, BUT I will never respect nor approve of much of how the man did or does much of anything.
IMO" trump is a megalomaniac that never should have held power to begin with.
To me the HOW of accomplishment IS important not just the end result.
For instance: If I want something I earn it I don't steal it. Same end results .. right ?
Not to me.
AND to the benefit of many others.
Are you denying the unemployment improvement of many? I'll note that was the benefit of Trump making it advantageous to make products in America and not relying on other nations to make those products.
I'll counter that with Biden being entirely incapable of doing anything other than what he is told to do by the people around him. It's interesting that I saw he and Jill apparently visited an elementary school in VA and while the children shouted questions, Joe remained silent while Jill answered.
If the question and answer is not prescripted Joe is basically incapable of making a cogent response, or he blurts out that he can't take more "questions" as he might get in trouble. With who will he get in trouble exactly?
And I find the need to repost and quote myself yet again:
Regardless of what you believe, those are actual facts.
We're even. Crooked Hillary and all the rest, right?
Lol, whew, and by sentence #2 there is already no point in continuing to read this seed. [removed]
How many different names are you gonna use to post on your own bullshit today? I think this one is gonna take all 4 (at least).
I'm truly fearful that Biden and the far left Democrats he's pandering to will succeed in dividing America so horribly that the country will literally tear itself apart akin to the Civil War.
The continual use of "systemic racism", "racist", NAZI, xenophobe and all other denigrating terms against anyone, even other left leaning individuals, but not as far left as the extreme elements using those terms, will eventually make them self fulfilling prophesies.
A case in point can be made with the current situation that India suffers with their variant of the COVID virus. Biden is banning travel from there and nary a word is being said about it. Trump did the same with China and even Biden called it xenophobic.
Hell, when AOC and Sanders are happy with what Biden is doing, one has to realize that the ship of state has truly gone off the rails.
Let's see Trump is accused of racist attacks on Muslims and Mexicans, but Biden calls the entire nation racist and not a peep from the hypocrites.
This is false. Biden said there is systemic racism in the US. This is like saying there are forest fires in the US, which does not mean all of the forests in the US are on fire, or even something remotely close to that. Your 'snowflake' setting is too high, dial it back so you can process English without reconstructing statements into something totally different that you can be offended by.
Not really. Just ask USA Today which quotes quite a few people as to their definition.
Irrelevant. I give people credit for knowing the definition of systemic racism and forest fire. The problem is linguistic semantics; they don't know how to interpret a sentence, or, their bias is so extreme that they draw whatever meaning they need from the words.
Biden is the nutjob who said Mitt Romney was going to put black people in chains. Hard to take anything he says seriously.
