OPINION: Joes Future Career Options, Is Not As a Dictator
Submitted by George McClellan
Joe Biden, in his shockingly damaging Independence Hall Philadelphia speech, apart from calling 75 million Americans semi-facists and a danger to democracy, essentially called for a one party state. Dictators can’t survive in other than a one party state so Joe was effectively telling Americans we needed to be led by a dictator, presumably him. We don’t thinks so! Joe’s already shown us he can’t lead. Apart from the creeping infirmities of advancing old age, dementia and clumsiness, his mental acuity is especially on display when we see him led by the Easter Bunny and shake hands with the invisible man.
We’ve had recent good examples of how dictators operate one party states, terribly! Most of ‘em no longer around. Germany’s Hitler of WW II fame immediately comes to mind as does Stalin of the Soviet Union, Cambodia’s Pol Pot, Chairman Mao of China, a couple of African Tribal Chieftains and Iraq’s Saddam Hussein. All are gone, yet Joe Biden wants to make America a one party state, in effect a dictatorship. It can’t work! In America, the competition of ideas, must be based on the Constitutional rule of law, but have no place in the discourse of potential dictators and bears no relevance to the Democrats absolute determination to make America Socialist. If Joe truly wants to be a dictator, then let’s look at some comparisons.
Hitler, many may be surprised to learn, like Joe, was legally elected to office. In fierce competition with other political parties, the Social Democrats, Christian Democrats and Communists in Germanys chaotic post WWI Weimar Republic, Hitler campaigned effectively using when appropriate, his Antifa’s and BLM street thugs to intimidate others. He staged the burning down of the Reichstag, arrested and jailed opponents, (6Jan21) and in the end, he prevailed. It can be argued how he accomplished that feat but, like Joe’s 2020 election, he was elected and the NSDAP (Nazi’s), became Germanys one party system. Surprisingly, it was the Great Depression that ultimately propelled the Nazi Party to its success. Biden’s economy, now unquestionably in a real recession approaches the distinct possibility that a depression is just around the corner but there’s no leader ready to take control. How’s that for a comparison?
Hitler’s expertise in the use of propaganda exploited exciting new technologies to advance his ideas, ie: the airplane, radio and motion pictures. As a gifted orator, he spoke in simple terms convincing Germans they had been stabbed in the back by politicians (and Jews) and that he would make Germany’s great again. Joe, on the other hand has no such oratorical skills, his technology, the teleprompter and cell phone, all seem to conspire against him. Joe’s daily existence, limited as it is to naps and fixing gaffes he made an hour before, fails because he has nothing new to show but failure. Likewise, his resume is a storybook history of plagiarism, falsehoods and outright lies garnered throughout his nearly fifty long years in government. He can point to no real enemies except other Americans like the successful Donald Trump and Trump’s supporters. The guy has no class!
Hitler was gifted with a charismatic style that appealed to large segments of a disheartened population suffering economic ruin caused by excessive monetary demands the Treaty of Versailles imposed and the growing world depression. Joe, burdened with an over abundance of self-confidence, (he did become president after all), has great difficulty sticking to the script on his teleprompter, rambling dangerously on when a stray thought enters his bleak mind and speaks to his prejudices when he’s on a roll as his staff cringes in embarrassment. Both Stalin and Mao were brutal in their population control measures murdering millions of their citizens just to get rid on ‘em. Neither really led their countries, they simply ordered things to be done according to Marxist ideals of success, their populations be damned. While Mao was a true Marxist, Stalin was a true hoodlum who knew how to wield power through fear. Happily, Joe has neither of those traits but, who’s to follow? How about Gavin Newsom? Beware of the future because neither Joe nor Kamala will be in it.
Remember, freedom is the goal, the Constitution is the way. Now, go get ‘em! (05Sep22)
