Last debate exposes Biden’s real agenda

View From Behind The Plow

President Trump forced Joe Biden to expose some of his real agenda if he (Biden) should be elected in the final presidential debate Thursday.

No. 1, he would ban fracking. He denied it at first, then promoted the idea of ending it on federal lands.

After a lot of scare talk about climate change and destroying the earth because scientists say we’re on the brink of destruction of the planet, Biden went overboard in endorsing radical environmental theories. First going to a completely carbon-free economy.

Then Joe stuck his foot in it even deeper, admitting he favored Socialist Bernie Sanders’ and crazy left-winger Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ Green New Deal, which would destroy America’s economy and Americans’ comfortable, affordable lifestyle in the process.

Before the final presidential debate was concluded, it wasn’t clear if the president was on the stage with Biden or Sanders and AOC.

While the questioner (better than the Fox news moderator in the first debate) favored Biden, the debate drew a sharp line between the candidates and what people would be voting on Nov. 3.

This is the decision as we see it:

Do you want to continue living in a free country with a strong economy (Trump) or do you want to turn the United States into a socialist dump?

Maybe the lie of the night was uttered by Biden when he said:

“Not one single person with private insurance would lose their insurance under my plan, nor did they under ‘Obamacare,’ they did not lose their insurance, unless they chose they wanted to go to something else.”

One fact-checker commented:

“He’s wrong about “Obamacare.”

Then-President Barack Obama promised if you liked your health insurance, you could keep it under his Affordable Care Act, but that’s not what happened for some.

When “Obamacare” took effect in 2014, several million people lost individual health insurance plans that no longer met minimum standards established by the law. A backlash forced the White House to offer a work-around, but the political damage was done.

Health insurance is such a complicated area that almost any action has the potential for unintended consequences.

Politifact rated Obama’s promise the “lie of the year” in 2013.

Trump and Biden each were asked Thursday night how they would handle health care policy if the Supreme Court invalidates Obamacare’s individual mandate in the upcoming California v. Texas case.

“What I’m going to do is pass Obamacare with a public option. It will become Bidencare.” Biden said.“The public option says in fact if you do not have the wherewithal, if you qualify for Medicaid and you do not have the wherewithal in your state to get Medicaid, you’re automatically enrolled, providing competition for insurance companies,” Biden said.

Biden denied the idea that he wants to eliminate private insurance.

“Not one single person with private insurance would lose their insurance under my plan, nor did they under Obamacare. They did not lose their insurance unless they chose they wanted to go to something else,” he said.

In response, Trump said Biden’s health care plan would amount to socialized medicine, given that the federal government would run the public option.

The presidential debates as coordinated by leftist Main Stream Media are usually designed to blur the lines between socialists and conservatives, bringing up such muddled subjects as “racism” and coronavirus.

But the debate last week allowed the real issues to slip out for voters to use to determine what they are actually responsible for deciding.

The fracking debate let residents know what they’re facing if the left’s policies (ala Biden-Harris) are allowed to be put in place.

The fracking and fossil fuel issues are of direct vital interest to oil producing states, like Oklahoma, but they also directly impact every citizen of America.

At present, for the first time we can remember, America is energy independent – not dependent on countries that don’t like us very much for our energy supplies.

That’s because of fracking and getting rid of the energy-strangling regulations of the Obama-Biden years.

While Americans now have the luxury of affordable energy for their homes, businesses and vehicles that would all change with a green energy government policy.

Although Biden has claimed he never said he would ban fracking, videos are available that show he said that very thing as well as favoring doing away with coal, an energy source America has at least two hundred years of.

Biden has repeatedly said he opposes carbon energy – in states where the environmental shtick plays well.

The old courtroom ploy comes to mind: “Okay, Joe, were you lying then or are you lying now?”

Jeff Dunetz, writing on The Lid blog, says that destroying America’s energy industry would put us at the mercy of China, giving China control of the entire chain

But, recent revelations about Joe and son Hunter’s connections to China graft, might indicate Biden would like that.

He’s not called “Beijing Joe” for nothing.

Two quotes come to mind.

Founding Father Benjamin Franklin said “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

Somebody else (can’t remember who) pointed out that people can vote themselves into socialism but they have to shoot their way out of it.

This election really isn’t about Biden and Trump, it’s about whether we want to exchange our constitutional republic for a socialist state.

We have a choice, at least in this year’s election.

We’re voting Trump for the benefit of our children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren and on down the line and pray that others will make the same choice.

At this point, we still have a choice.
