    Default Joe Biden’s far-left ‘unity’ will divide us

    Even I'll admit that much, they won, they have the numbers, and yes, elections have consequences. Should a SC position become available, they have the numbers. For most votes, they will easily have the numbers when they need a simple majority.

    But to call for unity, or demand, or claim it, or talk of it in any way after their display of the past 4 years, is just comical and the most hypocritical thing I've seen. And it ain't gonna work. And not necessarily because the right will slap their hands away, but more so because they have no true desire for unity to begin with, it's all lip service so that they can continue to blame things on the right.

    Their actions in the next 4 years will prove that out, just watch.

    Joe Biden’s far-left ‘unity’ will divide us

    The joke survives the test of time and, under the circumstances, deserves repeating. As the late journalist Mickey Carroll told it, a suburban town with a population 90 percent Irish and 10 percent Jewish held a mayoral election involving two candidates — one Irish and one Jewish.

    The Irish candidate won with — wouldn’t you know it? — 90 percent of the vote. Whereupon he immediately denounced the clannishness of the Jews!

    The story offers a useful way to view Joe Biden’s calls for national unity. Let’s just say our president is as sincere as the fictional Irish mayor.

    Biden won the right to pursue the leftist agenda he campaigned on. But his promise that he will also work for the Americans who didn’t vote for him is more fig leaf than honest invitation.

    As John Mitchell famously said about Richard Nixon’s White House, “Watch what we do, not what we say.”

    Applying that standard to Biden, we should ignore the unity talk because everything he has done leans far left.

    Again, he’s entitled — elections have consequences. But knitting together a fractured America around a far-left agenda was never going to work. And Biden knows it.

    In fact, his actions suggest the “Kumbaya” appeal is not directed at Trump voters or even the public in general.

    It’s really a disguised call to the factions in his own party to stick together, to give him a chance. I’ll keep you all happy, he’s saying, just watch.

    Not "will" divide us. Already has.
    If the freedom of speech is taken away
    then dumb and silent we may be led,
    like sheep to the slaughter.

    Just be aware of where the figurative landmines are and other than that, just don't participate.

    Default The Dems in the Senate and House...have no idea what UNITY is..

    I may be older than most. I may say things not everybody will like.
    But despite all of that. I will never lower myself to the level of Liars, Haters, Cheats, and Hypocrites.
