How can America unite again to do great things if we are led by people who believe America suffers from a great sickness of the soul, an original sin that dates back to her birth as a nation?
Consider.
After his long night of prayer for “the right verdict” to be pronounced — Derek Chauvin was convicted on all three counts — Joe Biden stepped before the White House cameras to tell us what it all meant.
George Floyd’s death, said Biden, “was a murder in the full light of day, and it ripped the blinders off for the whole world to see the systemic racism… that is a stain on our nation’s soul — the knee on the neck of justice for Black Americans.”
Astonishing. Biden is saying that when Chauvin knelt on the neck of George Floyd for nine minutes as the life drained out of him, the world, for once, was getting a good, close look at the diseased soul of America.
What Chauvin was doing to Floyd, said the president of the United States, is a reflection of the kind of justice America delivers to Black Americans.
This is no aberration, Biden was saying. This is the routine reality.
Biden was introduced by Kamala Harris, who said much the same:
“America has a long history of systemic racism. Black Americans and Black men in particular have been treated throughout the course of our history as less than human.”
At Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield delivered what The Wall Street Journal called, “a recitation of America’s sins (that) could have come from China’s Global Times.”
Said Thomas-Greenfield:
“I have… seen for myself how the original sin of slavery weaved white supremacy into our founding documents and principles. … Racism is the problem of the racist. And it is the problem of the society that produces the racist.”
What our diplomat to the world is saying is that our Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights are interwoven with white supremacy and that America, to this day, continues to breed racists.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, at a Congressional Black Caucus event after the verdict, turned her eyes heavenward in gratitude:
“Thank you, George Floyd, for sacrificing your life for justice….For being there to call out to your mom — how heartbreaking was that … And because of you … your name will always be synonymous with justice.”
Implication: Floyd died to redeem America of her original sin of racism.
All in all, quite a commentary on our leaders.
For, again, our president and vice president are saying that this people and country still suffer from a sickness of the soul that dates back to its formative days.
The 1960s radicals who vilified our country as “Amerika” were rightly called “ani-American.” Today, the difference between what they said about America and what our highest elected leaders are saying is hard to discern.
Our enemies have picked up on this. In Anchorage, after Secretary of State Antony Blinken called Beijing out for repression in Hong Kong and “genocide” in Xinjiang, China’s foreign minister was right back in his face.
You Americans should look to your own sins and clean up your house before lecturing the world on political morality, he said. Today, that Chinese foreign minister could cite Biden and Harris as his chief witnesses that America is a nation sick in its soul.
We hear our leaders’ attacks on America. Where is their defense?
What other nation has provided the same measures of personal and political freedoms and material blessings for 40 million Black people as has the United States?
If people of color are treated “as less than human” in America, as Harris says, why are so many people of color seeking desperately to get across our Southern border to build their future here?
What is the real truth about race in America that goes unmentioned in the mainstream media’s endless hunt for encounters between Black men and white cops?
The main perpetrators of violent crimes against Black Americans — are other Black Americans. Black men, ages 16 to 40, are 3% of the U.S. population but commit roughly a third of America’s violent crimes.
Defund police, restrict police, remove police and you will get more of what the police prevent — crimes, especially violent crimes, in your community.
When Biden and Harris spoke of “systemic racism” afflicting our society, they were not describing their enlightened selves. And it was Hillary Clinton who identified the people the leftist elites have in mind:
“You could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. … The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it. … Some of those folks… are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America.”
What Clinton, Biden and Harris are all saying is that, though the moral sickness of racism pervades our society, we are the vaccinated ones.

George Floyd’s death, said Biden, “was a murder in the full light of day, and it ripped the blinders off for the whole world to see the systemic racism… that is a stain on our nation’s soul — the knee on the neck of justice for Black Americans.”,,,,,,,,,and Joe’s media stolen election was murder of the American electoral process in the full darkness of fraud that is indeed a stain on our nation’s soul, not to mention the killing of the concept of fair play that now put the knees of the socialist elite upon the necks of an American population that is now on the road to systemic National Socialism of government and media control on a scale not seen since Germany in the 1930’s. At least mesmerizing Hitler had the guts to face and manipulate the crowd full head on, while sleep inducing Sleepy Joe hides behind controlled microphones, pre-scripted propaganda and an army of personal body guards that isolate him from real political interaction with the truth and prevent the blinders from getting ripped off THE PEOPLE while his expected democrat party line knee jerk racial reactions put pressure on the American body politic as a whole with justice for none, especially when it comes to elections.
Democrats glorify thugs, demonize America.
For years, they have been that way. YET FOLKS STILL keep electing them to office.. SO to me, that means THOSE VOTERS are also Crook glorifyers, and anti american!
That’s because dummycrat politicians are wannabe thugs,
After what I saw in the last election… I’m not sure people actually…. DID… elect them.
Unfortunately in many cities/states, YES THERE are nitwits who willingly vote for commucrats.. C AUSE THEY THEMSELVES are also commucrats.
“Is America Led By Anti-Americans Today?”
Definitely!!!
The U.S. must be destroyed in order for the Socialist Democrat Party to take over.
The Dishonorable, Democrat Party in the U.S. game plan is to lie, cheat and steal elections in order to control the American people and bring American commerce and economy to its knees.
Then access power and retain it by any means available –
no matter the costs to the people, the government or the nation.
We the People are allowing this to happen.
We are allowing the Socialist Democrat Party to led us “like sheep to the slaughter”.
To fully advance the Demonic, Dishonorable Socialist Democrat Party’s destructive agendas of socialism, open borders, gun control, radical feminism, abortion-on-demand, the LGBTQ lifestyle, unfettered sexual identity, “gay marriage” and the like, the pagan Liberal left Democrats must do away with our Constitution, GOD, common sense, morality, Christian values and free religious exercise altogether.
Under the guise of “anti-discrimination.”
Note the Democrats new go to word “racism”, like sexual harassment the
Democrats need NO PROOF just an accusation by anybody, and presto chango you are guilty.
Nancy Pelosi admitted an unfortunate truth about her impeachment “farce”
– It hinges on witness’s “allegations” not “proof.

IMO its not a “Definitely”, but a “HELL YES”…
joe Biden and Kamala are “systemic criminals”, who hate America. By the way Joe, why don’t you write a book on your criminal crime family? Hunter can write the foreword to your book.
Anti-Americanism is rampant on all levels of government. Barack Obama brought it all out into the open. And as shocking as the magnitude of it all is, it is even more shocking that there is so little pushback on it. The Founding Fathers would absolutely be appalled.
We no longer have two political parties with opposing ideas on how to do things—we have a Pro-America Party and an Anti-America Party. You cannot have bipartisanship in that environment. The only reason to reach across the isle anymore is to slap the living hell out of a Democrat—and some Republicans.
It is imperative that Conservatives take a much more aggressive stance against this and call out offenders at every turn.
AND most of it, imo starts IN THE SCHOOLS< where the indoctrinators BREED the anti-american sentiment in our kids.
With Oblammie at the helm when he guided the misfit DemoRats, like Jim Jones at Guyana…
There’s little doubt that the democrat politicians are anti-America. Their sole mission is to destroy our constitutional democratic republic, and all the citizens rights that go with it. They want one party rule, theirs.
They want to shred our constitution… PERIOD.
Democrats are implying that there are no people of color in congress, sports teams, CEO’s of companies, Black only TV, magazines, TV anchors or commentators or aren’t allowed to buy homes in White areas. Not one is a millionaire? Obama was president and Kamala is now president – oops – Vice President. Joe, Jill and Hunter live in an integrated hood and their vacation home is in Harlem, NY. Reverend Wright, Barack and Michelle tried to buy a small home in White neighborhoods but were refused. Their children can only hope they can make $15 an hour some day and be able to buy a bicycle for transportation. So there – proof America is systemic racists. And that’s the truth.
The other day, after watching an MLS game, i was actually wondering what the “percentage of Black/latino players in MLS is, compared to whites”..
This was in 2012.
https://culturesinamericansports.wordpress.com/
OVERALL, blacks represent 66% of all people in pro sports..
From one other article i saw, blacks in MLS are represented almost 44% of the time, latinos (central/south american or spain/portugal) 38%, and whites were barely 15%.. YET THEY STILL whine “we need MORE diversity???
COME AGAIN?
“Is America Led By Anti-Americans Today?”
That’s a rhetorical question, right?
“How can America unite again to do great things if we are led by people who believe America suffers from a great sickness of the soul, an original sin that dates back to her birth as a nation?”
“Res ipsa loquitur.”
”The thing speaks for itself.”
Replace those people with people who love America.
REPLACE the entire party, and practically the entire indoctrination (education) industry!
“America has a long history of systemic racism. Black Americans and Black men in particular have been treated throughout the course of our history as less than human.”
I have to agree with that since, before Donald J. Trump took office, the village idiot was forced to occupy it for eight miserable, torturous and grueling years suffering under Jim Crow laws and systemic racism.
Seems that Pat has recovered his wits since I saw him on Tucker or Hannity a while back when he said that 6000 Americans a week were dying from the Corona (or is it Dos Equis) virus every week. According to the CDC it’s about 30,000 to date who died from it without comorbiditioes.
It’s time for all LOYAL AMERICANS to overthrow this corrupt and treasonous government! We can no longer tolerate corruption and treason in government. If we don’t take a stand against them, we will be sacrificing the lives and futures of our children and grandchildren! The corruption and treason in this government is so blatant that they think that they are above the law! We, you and I , and the rest of the American Patriots need to show them that they’re wrong!
Nancy simply hated that Trump exposed the swamp creatures.. she’s been doing more damage than good that’s for sure. If you can’t run your State.. you should not be running the country. She’s power trip on our expense.
Welcome to ChinBidenA – no thanks, he’s lined so many pockets with gold. Now the front man for Obama that Trump is out of the way and you’ll never get me to believe Dem’s won fairly.. not a stolen election, a planned take over.
Has pelosi, EVER done more good for this nation, than damage?? IMO HELL NO.
The fate of this country is in doubt when the controls of America’s future are in the hands of Anti-White-race, Anti- Police, and a elite collection of American politicians who loath this country and its constitution. This well may be the final last of those who lived under a constitution based on liberty for all men to succeed or fail accordiing to their God- Given Talents, as the constitution proclaimed, “…..That all men were created equal…..” The Kamala Harris, Joe Biden presidency, excuse, I should have said, The Joe Biden -Kamala Harris, presidency. I get Confused sometimes, the world has changed so much in such a short period of time. But, confusion is nothing new for simple mankind, and the many turns the world has gone thru, In the book titled, ” The Consolation of Philosophy,” this, ” .,.this world of ours- thinkest thou, It is governed Haphazard and fortuitously, or believest thou that there is in it any rational Guidance…” The Answer, This great country is doomed because of a lack of a leader and unless another man steps up and saves America for Americans who still love and believe in their country, I believe America’s best days are behind her….How sad…..
As the Author Lewis Caroll one wrote, ” It was the best of Times, It was the Worst of Times…” and so this era, like no other, leaves us wondering if America will even survive the constant attacks on what our countrymen and the countries women have always believed in, that it was the beliefs in the basic things that united all of the countries citizens. These basic beliefs that provided a solid foundation upon which the countries morals were never in doubt and no one, including the countries political leaders, never thought to question. those basic moral of this countries citizens were, patriotism, their religious beliefs in God, and a belief in those who served their fellow citizens by wearing a policeman’s Badge and served their fellow core of citizens. But Now, in this day and age everything is questioned and the media, our Public educational systems, have instilled a disbelief in all of these things that once all Americans held most dear and they now question the very thoughts that had held this country up as good and noble. Would, that there was that moral glue that once proud Americans believed in. God help us once again to return to those days of pride in being Americans.
I’m sorry,I listed the wrong Author in my most recent post of April28Th.2021 Quotation Details
Quotation #29595 from Classic Quotes:
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way – in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.
