Gary Bauer: End Of Day - 10-10-24 - Exploiting Emergencies, Un-American

Exploiting Emergencies


The left has a saying, "Never let a crisis go to waste," meaning they will exploit anything to advance their agenda. It's hard to imagine, but we saw it again yesterday when President Biden gave a briefing about Hurricane Milton as it was about to hit Florida.


Breaking every norm, he used it to launch partisan political attack on Donald Trump. They have politicized every aspect of our government – our intelligence agencies, our Justice Department, the Pentagon, and now FEMA. Biden not only lied about Trump; he lied about what Trump said.


But Biden really crossed the line when he called Trump "un-American." We can't blame this on his dementia. This is one of the left's main smear tactics, and they've been doing it for years. That's what the whole Russia collusion hoax was all about.


The purpose here is clear. They want you to be confused about the difference between America the country and the government of the United States.


In countries like communist China, Cuba, and North Korea, if you are critical of the government, you are labeled an enemy of the nation.


In America, we have a right to be critical of the government, while still loving our nation.


"Get that book out of my child's school!"


"Why do I have to stand in line at the DMV for hours? An illegal immigrant can get into the country faster than this."


"Congress is spending too much money!"


The Biden administration gives us plenty of reasons to criticize it every day. And as Americans, we have a First Amendment right to criticize them.


Biden calling Trump "un-American" is ridiculous.


Would someone who is "un-American" fly the biggest American flag possible?


Would someone who is "un-American" open up one of his luxury resorts to house nearly 300 linemen who will be working hard to restore power?


Would someone who is "un-American" help raise more than $7.5 million for hurricane victims?


Would he champion the theme "America First"?


No, he wouldn't do any of those things.




Un-American


If Joe Biden wants to talk about what is "un-American," I'm happy to set him straight.


Un-American is using your big city political cronies to file ridiculous charges in order to put your political opponents in jail.


Un-American is kicking your political opponents off the ballot.


Un-American is censoring free speech and restricting religious liberty.


Un-American is telling parents to shut up when the government forces our daughters to share restrooms with boys or exposes our children to graphic LGBTQ propaganda.


Un-American is opening our borders so millions of people can come illegally into our country, bringing crime to our communities and overwhelming public services.


Un-American is putting illegal aliens ahead of our own citizens.


That's not misinformation. That's exactly what is happening.
