(50,983 posts)I agree. Biden's remarks are very disappointing.
Biden is merely repeating the official talking points, wrong or not. I guess we are supposed to conveniently forget the coordinated attack on Occupy. Occupy's sin was reminding us that the banks were not held accountable for the malfeasance that caused the failure of 2008.

(13,102 posts)I agree 100%.
I don't know what country Biden is referring to, but it is not the U.S.
Free speech zones.
Permits to gather or march.
Mass arrests of peaceful unarmed protesters.
Police brutality nationwide.
Private prisons profiting off the drug wars.
Inescapable surveillance.
Two tier justice system.
Slimy lying politicians.

(6,829 posts)They hate us for our freedoms. So in order to protect us from the evil nasty evil doin' terrists, our government took all our freedoms away so the bullying America terrorists wouldn't pick on us any more. Our governments role, according to the constitution, is to keep us 100% safe from everybody all the time. I just wish they could do an equally aggressive job saving us from cancer, gun deaths, heart disease, suicide, auto accidents, bathroom falls, violent crime, stroke and all the other stuff that kills us at a rate geometrically orders of magnitude higher than the average of 75 souls a year America has lost from terrorism on our soil since 1941.
Biden's speech clearly illustrates just how stupid our Oligarch's think we are! And I'm going to look into this speech a little more. It has an aroma of a tipping point because to most Americans, it was complete bullshit.

(2,065 posts)Joe Biden was bellicosely bragging about the way it's supposed to be - or heck, even maybe the way that it really was in the good ole days before the advent of the "War on Terror" and all the crazy, insane things it brought in its wake, like the Patriot Act, Homeland Security, the NSA spying, etc... Instead of being the party of progressive reformers, like it should be, the Democratic party has given in to jingoistic American exceptionalism, which does nobody any good, except those who would control, manipulate and even terrorize the American people for their own ends.

(6,829 posts)In the same way Attorney General Gonzales and John Yoo described the prorections against torture in the Geneva Convention as "quaint".
I would not find Joe's remarks offensive if he had made them in 1965, when there was a possibility his points still held true.
His whole speech seems like it's Oligarch's rubbing it in our faces that all of these cherished American principals ARE NO LONGER OPERATIVE.
