The American Catholic – Politics & Culture from a Catholic Perspective
Description: A republic, not a circus
A republic, not a circus
President Biden delivered a prime-time address last night from Philadelphia. In the history of nighttime presidential speeches this was certainly one of them. Like every speech Joe Biden has delivered in his adult life it was stilted, awkward, and just plain terrible, but at least it was free from the casual racism that appears in so many of his remarks . So at least he had that going for him. Which is nice.
Biden’s theme was that “MAGA Republicanism” threatens to destroy democracy, enslave our children, and kill our puppies, or something along those lines. The president, who a week earlier signed an almost certainly illegal executive order “forgiving” student loan debts that may cost the Treasury up to a trillion dollars, issued a stern warning about fascism, or semi-fascism, or pseudo-fascism, or whatever.
