I'm sorry to see the Super Democrats and the DNC pushing Joe Biden.
He is being repackaged as Uncle Joe, carrying his lunch bucket and
shaking the hands of a construction worker. But under all the makeup,
he is still the guy who sat by quietly watching as Barack Obama
increased pressure on immigrants and attacks on journalists and the
murder of countless innocent men, women and children in "far off"
lands that " threatened our freedom". And we are reminded that he is
also in favor of government meddling in women's personal lives,
determining for them how they may care for their health needs.
We need a strong, outspoken candidate who will point out the rape and
plunder that is going on under the shadow of Donald Trump's Tom
Foolery.
The courts, already the strong buffer for protecting the freedom of
the Ruling Class, are now far toward the conservative side. A warning
should be posted above each court building in the country saying,
"Working Class, Beware!"
