Default Vice President Joe Biden: 'Great' cities in China, not United States

Vice President Joe Biden: 'Great' cities in China, not United States - Spokane Conservative | Examiner.com
June 15, 2012

Joe Biden is apparently amazed at what can be accomplished with the application of slave labor, a centrally controlled economy, lack of civil rights and of course a powerful useful idiot with a microphone.

Quote:
On Friday, Vice President Joe Biden told the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Florida that the "great" cities of the world are in China, not the United States.

“I wish you could travel around the world with me, 600,000 miles so far just as Vice President,” he said, adding that he wished he could show them cities in China, Charlie Spiering reported at the Washington Examiner.

“If I blindfolded Americans and took them into some of the airports or ports in China, and then took one of them to any of your cities in the middle of the night just so that they could see it,” Biden said. “And then said, ‘which one is... your city in America and which one is in China,’ most Americans would say, ‘That great one is in America.’”

“It’s not.” Biden said.

"But why he felt the need to state his opinion publicly (in front of an audience of American mayors, mind you) is beyond me," Daniel Doherty wrote at Townhall.
Go Joe, go!


OK, Mickeyy, we're ready for you to tell us that China is a free and open society, that gives its kids free panda cubs for pets.


Quote:
While the Orlando Sentinel reported on Biden's visit, no mention was made of the comment.

A Google search using the term "Biden great cities" returned no results from the so-called mainstream media as of this writing.

Nice spin, Biden never said great cities weren't in America, just that they're being built in China too.

I don't think it's spin. I think it's different minds hear things differently. The essence of what I hear from Mr. Gaffetastic saying is "You Chinese guys are kicking our ass".

I wish I could find it, but I remember saying something to this effect...

If an alien came to earth knowing nothing about our government and landed in the middle of the United States and said "So tell me about your country.", the Conservative would say, "The US has a few problems, but let me use the next hour to tell you what's great about us."...

The Liberal would say, "The US has a few good things, but let me use the next hour to tell you what's so bad about us."...

Biden (among many others) is the perfect example of this...

More boring hate sh*t. This is a man who has dedicated his life to his country. Whos sons have served their country with the patriotism instilled by their dad and still the right rags the guy. That is fu*ked up and way too partisan to be any fun.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with his reprehensible political philosophy, any more than Typhoid Mary's purported love of people and cooking absolved her of the deaths she caused.

See?

You simply refuse to understand us.

Hate has nothing to do with it, at least not hatred for people.

It's our love of people that leads us to an admiration for their potential, potential that is thwarted, smothered, and drained by modern Leftist ideology, which we find evil.

And to use metaphor, if my best friend, someone I'd die for were running a trainload of people off a cliff, no matter what delusion he followed, it would be my responsibility to condemn his actions, and strive with all my strength to remove him from the controls. So it is with people like Joe Biden and others who might be fun to have to a cookout, but should never have great political power over other human beings.

And if we ridicule those who follow modern Liberalism, Socialism, Communism and the like, why should we not? They are the followers of foolish, childish, cruel and contemptible philosophies whose adherents almost never make a rational argument for their core positions and whose "rank-and-file," refuse to recognize the fundamental nature of government, that is, as a refined instrument of brute force.

And such philosophies and their champions have killed, impoverished, and enslaved hundreds of millions of people in the last century alone.

If you, or any Quasi-Marxist wants to be taken seriously, try making a reasoned argument, or an elegant emotive argument for you core policies and beliefs more often. Betchya can't.
