Gary Bauer: Biden vs. Washington

Joe Biden is once again exploiting January 6th. He's going to historic Valley Forge tomorrow, attempting to claim the mantle of George Washington, to give a speech warning about the so-called "dangers to our democracy" represented by Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.


What a dishonest and craven thing to do. If only George Washington could come down from Heaven and give a speech at the White House! I believe he would warn us that the neo-Marxist left is the greatest threat to the country.


George Washington believed that only a virtuous people could remain free. Joe Biden brought transgender activists and drag queens to the White House to celebrate LGBTQ pride.


George Washington routinely thanked God. He and all the founders believed that our victory over the British empire in the Revolutionary War was only possible because of God's blessing.


Joe Biden, his FBI and the entire progressive establishment call that belief "Christian nationalism," and they claim it is a threat to the country. Meanwhile, Biden regularly disses God. He didn't even bother to mention God or Jesus in his Thanksgiving and Christmas messages.


George Washington knew free and fair elections were the key to democracy. The neo-Marxist left is trying to jail a former president and cancel our elections.


George Washington believed the Constitution was the supreme law of the land. The left is at war with the First Amendment, the Second Amendment and every other right we have.


The memories of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Patrick Henry and other founders are being forgotten because they are no longer taught in school. And if they are, their reputations are being smeared and tarnished, while left-wing activists tear down their statues and defile their monuments.


That's why Donald Trump set up the 1776 Commission to ensure that the next generation would respect them as we do. Joe Biden, who is attempting to claim Washington's mantle, immediately abolished the 1776 Commission when he took office.


For generations, the most famous childhood story about George Washington was telling his father that he could not tell a lie. Joe Biden, well known for his past plagiarism, lies all the time about virtually everything.


In every way, Joe Biden is the exact opposite of George Washington. He should be ashamed of disgracing Valley Forge with his lies.




Washington's Faith


Consider these quotes by George Washington. It's impossible to imagine any progressive politician uttering anything remotely close.


"No People can be bound to acknowledge and adore the invisible hand, which conducts the Affairs of men more than the People of the United States. Every step, by which they have advanced to the character of an independent nation, seems to have been distinguished by some token of providential agency."

 

--First Inaugural Address, 1789

 


"Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor. . . I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be."

 

--Thanksgiving Proclamation, 1789

 

 

"Of all the dispositions and habits, which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and Citizens. . .

 

"And let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect, that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."

 

-- Farewell Address, 1796
