Every inaugural address is filled with soaring rhetoric and phrases. Some are certainly more lasting than others.
Yesterday, if you believe the media, Joe Biden delivered "one of the best inaugural addresses ever." But there were two things in his remarks yesterday that stood out to me and that I want to address here.
Biden spoke a lot about unity and insisted that he will be "the president of all the people," even those who didn't vote for him. While that's technically true, what does he really mean by that? As the old adage goes, actions speak louder than words.
The unity Biden kept talking about lasted only as long as his speech. As soon as he entered the Oval Office, he promptly signed more than a dozen executive orders and every one was a finger in the eye of conservatives.
Biden will operationally be the president of those who elected him. He will be the president of abortion on demand, and he will demand that all Americans, including you, subsidize it.
Biden will operationally be the president of those who support open borders, illegal immigration and sanctuary cities, as well as those who want to choose alternative pronouns for themselves.
He is allowing immigration from countries that are known hotbeds of terrorism, countries like Iran, Sudan, Syria and North Korea. That's insane.
He abolished President Trump's 1776 Commission because it was trying to teach young Americans that their country isn't evil. That speaks volumes.
Where is the comfort in telling people that he is going to be the president of those who didn't vote for him when he has devoted his presidency to relentlessly attacking their values?
It would be one thing for a genuine moderate to make such a statement while actually pursuing common ground. Biden isn't doing that. He is pushing a radical agenda, and his statement is more like rubbing salt into a wound. It's for appearances only. By Gary Bauer
