President Joe Biden finally delivered his “voting rights” speech in Atlanta, telling a crowd:
“The next few days, when these bills come to a vote, will mark a turning point in this nation’s history. Will we choose democracy over autocracy, light over shadows, justice over injustice? I know where I stand. I will not yield. I will not flinch. I will defend your right to vote, our democracy against all enemies foreign and domestic. And the question is: Where will the institution of the United States Senate stand?”
These were little more than the mendacious ravings of a demagogue.
Biden’s argument is predicated on the idea that anyone who continues to support the legislative filibuster – a Senate rule the president defended for nearly 50 years – or voter ID laws, or time restrictions on mail-in ballots, or consistent hours for early voting, or bans on ballot harvesting, is no better than Bull Connor. “Do you want to be on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace?” was the false choice offered by a man who repeatedly praised Wallace, and other segregationists, early in his career.
The president suggested that anyone opposing the Democrats’ voting rights bill was not only a bigot but a seditious “domestic” enemy of the United States – a designation that now probably includes six Democratic senators, if not more. The president pronounced the Senate a “shell of its former self,” lamenting that the GOP had used the filibuster over 100 times in the past year, skipping the inconvenient fact that Democrats had done so over 300 times the preceding four years. Biden, “the institutionalist,” then unloaded a litany of completely misleading contentions about voting laws to justify his abandonment of principle.
And the reason Biden is compelled to lie about virtually every aspect of the Georgia voting law is that the specifics are actually quite popular and do not inhibit a citizen from casting a ballot. Most of the requirements Biden contends are now compulsory for democracy to properly function had only been instituted in the past few years – many of them only during the last election. Biden’s comparing Jim Crow to contemporary voter integrity laws is detestable. One was a violent suppression of the minority vote; the other was giving voters only 11 weeks before an election to request a ballot and declining to keep expanding voting into the weekend.
At this pace, Democrats will be arguing that disenfranchisement of illegal immigrants is the manifestation of the Dixiecrat agenda by 2024.
ID requirements are what the left detests most, yet this is the provision they talk about least. Why? Most polls find overwhelming majority support for limiting early voting hours and requiring photo IDs to vote. Fascists in Colorado and Connecticut and most other states, not only Georgia, still demand a person provide government-issued ID to vote. They, just like Georgia, allow voters without ID to provide the last four digits of their Social Security number, a bank statement or utility bill, a paycheck or any other government document with their name and address. (Maybe if states allowed vaccine passports to suffice, Democrats would be up for it.)
But most Americans – most people in the free world – have believed it eminently reasonable to expect voters to identify themselves before participating in democracy. If Democrats believed the vote was sacred, so would they. It’s the Democrats who are advocating overturning the will of voters in Georgia and elsewhere. Let’s remember that H.R. 1 “voting rights” bill would have compelled states to allow ballot harvesting, to ban voter ID laws, to allow felons to vote and to count mail-in votes that arrive up to 10 days after Election Day.
The president sprinkled his speech with feigned indignation and lots of podium pounding. Unable to contain his penchant for fabulism, he seemed to joke about being arrested (“the first time”) during a civil rights march. Maybe Biden was confusing that incident with the time he wasn’t arrested in South Africa for trying to see Nelson Mandela or didn’t defend the Black Panthers in court or never participated in a sit-in.
But one can suspect most Democrats understand well that this is all a nasty bit of cynical political theater since there is little chance of nuking the filibuster. Biden’s attempt to launch his entire agenda in a single reconciliation moonshot stuffed with progressive extravagances failed to get a simple majority. Stymied, the president has decided to preemptively undermine confidence in the 2022 and 2024 elections, smearing half the country as racists while cosplaying as a civil rights hero. “The Big Lie,” indeed. The consequences of this will be the further deterioration of trust in elections. More division. More anger.

Biden’s Big Lie on election integrity
Jellyfish, take your speech and BS and stick it where the sun dont shine. Your a F##king lier.
I like to sick Biden where the sun don’t shine!
Do not forget HO Hyena Harris, Nazi Nancy, Chucky Schumer, the Squad, and the rest of the Demo Rats and RINO’s. Preferably in a real deep hole or better yet. How about a Rocket going towards the nearest Black Hole???
Sounds good to me!
Let’s go Brandon! Make America Great Again! Voter ID and NO mail in ballots. Just go vote on election day with your Voter ID!!!
also no dominion voting machines or machines made where the virus can from. The chinese virus.
FJB! Who are these people that don’t have ID and that cannot get their asses to the voting booth on Election Day? If you do not care enough to get an ID or to go the poll to vote you should not be voting! No mail in ballots, no drop boxes, if you have a valid reason that you cannot get to the voting booth REQUEST your absentee ballot in time to vote absentee! Some of us that served overseas during elections voted absentee numerous times, it’s not that difficult to request a ballot. The last thing we need is the Federal government handling voting via the Justice Department! Guess who runs the Justice Department, the political Party in power at the time, we do not need that in voting. Read the 10th amendment to the Constitution, it is only one sentence!
When many people are being sent absentee ballots, when they didn’t even request one, you know that something is fishy!
Better yet how about those voters that come up from the DEAD that always vote Demo RAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeeeesssss…. Why, because that is who the democrats are “racist’s”. They always have been, they invented the KKK, they are and was against the civil rights act…. and most of all they are liars, that everyone seems to love to swallow.
Lets go all demonicRATS
What a load of absolute trot! His big objection is that the new voting laws makes it harder to cheat, some thing he and his party are getting far to good at.
With Clinton & Soros owned voting machines!
More than likely.
Both CHEATER Joe Biden and the CHEATER Criminal Democrat Party Mob leadership have to before the 2022, push through a law to let the millions of illegal aliens already here and crossing our borders today, that gives them illegal illegal alien voter status before the 2022 election!!!! That is why they will not stop the “flood of millions of illegal aliens today or ever”!!! Even their own legal Democratic voters are deserting their political party by the thousands!!! This is their knew massive voter fraud for both the 2022 and 2024 election!!!! Dump their own whole CHEATER Criminal Democrat Party Mob all across our America in the 2022 and 2024 should be our American voters “common sense answer to this problem”!!!!!
Biden is not of sound mind, he is being used by his handlers. Shame on his family for allowing him to make a disgrace of himself.
Biden has never been of sound mind. Him, Harris, Pelosi are the biggest disgraces on this entire Planet!!!!!
Agree!!
The fraud of a First Lady said she was willing to pay any price to be First Lady! Jill is dispicable!
I hope voters realize that corrupt pedo Biden is nothing but a childish pathological liar! He cares absolutely nothing about Americans! Only what enriches him and the dispicable Biden Crime Family!
Expose this impostor who stole the Presidency. Kick his poopy pants out of the White House.
