Did Joe Biden Just Have His “Basket of Deplorables” Moment!?

Obama Bitter clingers

You’d have thought that Democrats running for high office would mind their words a bit more so as to not alienate potential voters in the middle. Maybe they can’t help themselves.

  • Obama and his “bitter clingers to their guns and Bibles remarks (above)
  • Hillary describing Trump supporters as: “you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables.  Right? ) They’re racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic – you name it… some of those folks – they are irredeemable

So much for that famed Democrat civility? And here comes Gropey Joe with a new addition to this collection.

Former Vice President and current Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden views Americans who hold a biblical view of marriage and a biological view of sexuality as among the “dregs of society,” according to a speech he gave in 2018 that resurfaced over the weekend.

“Despite losing in the courts and in the court of public opinion, these forces of intolerance remain determined to undermine and roll back the progress you all have made,” he argued. “This time they — not you — have an ally in the White House.

“They’re a small percentage of the American people, virulent people,” he continued. “Some of them the dregs of society. And instead of using the full might of the executive branch to secure justice, dignity [and] safety for all, the president uses the White House as a literal, literal bully pulpit, callously exerting his power over those who have little or none.”

Not only are the Democrats approving of these statements, but they also codified this religious hatred of those that do not bow to Government dogma they’d bring if they held all the branches of Government is ensconced in their platform:

…WHEREAS, those most loudly claiming that morals, values, and patriotism must be defined by their particular religious views have used those religious views, with misplaced claims of “religious liberty,” to justify public policy that has threatened the civil rights and liberties of many Americans, including but not limited to the LGBT community, women, and ethnic and religious/nonreligious minorities; and

WHEREAS, the Democratic Party is an inclusive organization that recognizes that morals, values, and patriotism are not unique to any particular religion, and are not necessarily reliant on
having a religious worldview at all; and

WHEREAS, nonreligious Americans made up 17% of the electorate in 2018 and have the potential to deliver millions more votes for Democrats in 2020 with targeted outreach to further
increase turnout of nonreligious voters; and WHEREAS, a record number of openly nonreligious candidates are running for public office;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE recognizes:

1. The value, ethical soundness, and importance of the religiously unaffiliated demographic, a group of Americans who contribute in innumerable ways to the arts, sciences, medicine, business, law, the military, their communities, the success of the Party and prosperity of the Nation; and

2. That religiously unaffiliated Americans are a group that, as much as any other, advocates for rational public policy based on sound science and universal humanistic values and should be represented, included, and heard by the Party.

No need here for religion in that crowd – and if they get their way, those of faith will be forced away from theirs. I guess they’d use the example of Chinese Communist Xi in how China is dealing with the Uighers – re-education camps, forced abortions, and getting rid of their culture. Too, what the ChiComs are doing to the Christians – shutting down churches, and changing the Bible to be “more compliant” to the Chinese Communist ideology.
