Joe Biden: America Is the Product of a Document — Not a Geography, an Ethnicity, or Religion

Charlie Spiering 20 May 2021

President Joe Biden signed the Coronavirus Hate Crimes Act at the White House on Thursday, criticizing Americans for being racist or complicit in racism.

During the ceremony, Biden celebrated the racial diversity of America, pointing out that the country was founded on the Declaration of Independence.

“We’re unique among all nations in that we are uniquely a product of a document — not an ethnicity, not a religion, not a geography, of a document,” Biden said. “Think about this, I’m being literal. Uniquely a product of a document.”

Biden signed the bill at a ceremony with several congressional Democrats who successfully pushed forward the bipartisan measure through Congress.

The president sternly condemned Americans for remaining silent in the face of rising hatred in their country.

“Every time we’re silent. Every time we let hate flourish, you make a lie of who we are as a nation,” he said. “I mean it literally.”

Biden urged Americans to realize the depth of hatred that still exists in the country and asked everyone to speak out.

“I mean this from the bottom of my heart, hate can be given no safe harbor in America, I mean it. No safe harbor. Can’t be dismissed,” he said.

Vice President Kamala Harris also spoke at the signing event.

“This violence, it did not come from nowhere and none of this is new,” she said.

Harris recalled how she experienced hate throughout her career in the legislative branch, the Congressional branch, and even the executive branch.

“Here is the truth. Racism exists in America. Xenophobia exists in America. Anti-semitism, Islamaphobia, homophobia, transphobia, it all exists,” she said. “And so the work to address injustice wherever it exists remains the work ahead.”

Man I sure miss Jimmy Carter.

Well it's true, this country is the product of a document.  But while he wants to point to the Declaration, the document that matters legally is the Constitution.  Yet his party has maintained for years, and still maintains, that what the Constitution actually says matters less than what left-wing judges say about it.  And his party insists on substituting racial identity and sexual confusion for equal justice.

Biden's words are simply opportunistic lies, as they have always been.

Someone please find and post the video. Hopped-up puffy-faced Joe starts yelling semi-coherently at one point, while KommieLa looks on with a hungry expression that seems to say, "Any day now, old man, and it all will be mine!"

The country is the product of a document, but "no amendment (to the constitution) is absolute."  Got it.

NO !!

The United States and the men (not women, MEN) who created it WERE of a peculiar ethnicity (white) from a generally specific geography (mostly English) and almost all of a specific religion (Christianity).

The underlying intellectual concepts were those of Western European civilization and culture and the era of Enlightenment.

To try to convince us otherwise is the equivalent of gaslighting history.

Unfortunately for Biden, the classical liberal ideal of the sovereign individual inherited by and perfected in the USA IS unique to specific geographies and ethnicities.

And where other ethnicities are predominant or become predominant those ideals tend to languish.

As we can see happening now in certain regions of this country.

Its just a fact.

Of course the ideas behind the United States had to come from some particular culture, and yes that culture was white, primarily English, and Christian.  Those same white, English, Christian people also founded Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, yet we still believe that the United States is unique.  The United States could not have been founded by people from any other culture, but the country is not synonymous with that culture else we would *not* be unique.

Unfortunately it is a fact.  Whether or not we can sustain a country founded on ideas, rather than a traditional nation of blood and soil, remains to be seen.  So many of the established institutions of the country, with Biden's party in the vanguard, have renounced the founding ideas, and want to replace them with racial tribalism, humanism, and sexual confusion, that it's not looking like we'll succeed.  And that's a very bad thing.

I would have thought the first document forming the foundation of the United States was the Bible.

Then there's the Magna Carta.

And later came the Declaration of Independence, certainly a most important and direct ancestor to all true American Ideology.

Then there's the Constitution.

Obiden's rant as a little unclear.  Is he unhappy the Rodents that control him are making everything about race and Cornpop is complaining?

The only founding documents the Rodents care about or refer to are those written by Karl Marx and Engels, Alinsky, and they even use fictional works by George Orwell as instruction manuals.

This is an excellent and insightful list @Sled Dog.

Joe Biden reads the Declaration of Independence for the first time.

That one answer sums up what is wrong with Biden and is ilk.

He is a lawyer, and one expects lawyers to give an answer like that.

A man who never worked in his entire life, made horrible grades in school, lying and cheating his way to power.

We should never permit another person with a law degree to ever touch a Bible and recited the oath of office.
