Too Aulde Jaux just keeps rolling on and on.
Biden botches Thomas Jefferson quote and falsely claims Americans couldn’t own cannons during the Civil War in gun control speech
President Biden falsely claimed Tuesday that the Second Amendment prohibits the ownership of cannons and botched a famous quote from a founding father during a speech in support of gun control.“There has never been a time that says you could own anything you want,” Biden said in remarks at the Gun Sense University conference in Washington, DC.
“Never. You couldn’t own a cannon during the Civil War,” the 81-year-old president claimed. “No, I’m serious. Think about it.”
Actually, best not to, Jaux; too many people starting to think for themselves, seriously and carefully, about your ahistorical nitwittery can only spell Heap Big Trouble for you and yours.
The big question here is whether Bribem is just factually incorrect this time, or actively, knowingly lying again. Only his dipey-dumper knows for sure, but this next jawdropping fuckup tends to indicate…well, something, anyway, God only knows what.
Shortly after the mistake, the president flubbed a famous line from Thomas Jefferson’s 1787 letter to former Continental Army officer William Stephens Smith, in which the former president expressed his support for Americans resisting tyranny.
“How much have you heard this phrase, ‘the blood of liberty … washes those’ – give me a break,” Biden said in a mocking tone.
Jefferson’s quote is, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.”
“It is it’s natural manure,” the founding father added in his letter concerning 18th century uprisings by American farmers against state and local taxes and debt collection.
My post title/opening line calls for an eminently appropriate Bachman-Turner embed, methinks.
Great song, great vid, great lyrics, great storyline, great typically-minimalist Randy Bachman solo, great babes, great cherryburst LP Standard—all of it, intro to outro, nothing but the pure, the blushful rocket-from-the-roadhouse Real Deal. I ask you people: what’s not to like here?
The debate (I think there will only be one) will be epic.
Technically, ol’ Lyin’ Joe told the truth there. I couldn’t own a cannon during the Civil War, because I wouldn’t be born for another hundred years. Same goes for my parents and their parents. My great-grandparents couldn’t own cannons because they were in Europe and the hoity-toits were careful to keep weapons out of the hands of the peasants. (Just as the European rulers keep weapons away from the populace today, and just as the American rulers really want to keep weapons away from us.)
