Political column by Franklin County resident Larry Wiwi
Over the past couple of weeks you likely heard commander-in-thief Biden excoriating unvaccinated Americans and telling us getting vaccinated is our patriotic duty. I won’t give advice or an opinion about getting the vaccine since that is your personal decision to be made with or without your doctor’s advice and unlike Biden, I have high confidence you will make the best decision for yourself. That is how we operate in America, we have high faith and confidence in the individual, or at least we used to.
That said, exactly why would any of us take direction from Biden regarding any notion of patriotic duty? Yes, I know he occupies the White House and some refer to him as their president but let’s examine the track record:
- Is he living up to his patriotic duty opening the borders and letting hordes of illegals invade the country, erode our culture, consume our public resources and depress wages for low-income Americans?
- Is he living up to his patriotic duty when he allows those same illegals, many COVID positive, to be transported around the country, potentially infecting American citizens?
- Is it his patriotic duty to erode our energy independence and destroy thousands of jobs with the killing of the XL pipeline? Some enviro-wackos might tell you that it was his duty to kill the pipeline to fight climate change but their logic is fatally flawed – the oil that would have been carried by the pipeline will instead be carried by trains and trucks that burn oil and have vastly more negative impact on the environment.
- How about his patriotic duty to consider re-joining the Iran nuclear deal? Now that is good for America, lets help the world’s leading Islamic terrorist state acquire nuclear weapons
- Is it patriotic of him to look the other way while his often wayward son earns many millions of dollars from the Chinese and Ukrainians among others as he trades on his father’s influence?
You are free for now at least, to take advice from whomever you choose, but if you are looking for advice on patriotic duty, maybe the current White House occupant should be avoided.
