Biden Gun Control Task Force

There are many dismissing the Biden Gun Control Task Force that is currently working on plans to deny Second Amendment rights.  Biden, some argue, is a complete fool, so nothing will come of it.  The hapless Vice President knows little about anything, repeatedly makes dumb comments, and embarrasses the Democrats at every turn (SaltLakeCityTribune).  But Biden serves the purposes of the Left well, and his actions should be carefully watched.

Biden is often called on by the progressives to completely destroy the credibility of and humiliate opponents, with a smile.  During the recent Vice Presidential debate, the main focus was on Biden's behavior.  As two websites point out, his actions detracted from much of what was said during the debates and stifled any points Paul Ryan tried to make (ABCNews & NOLA.com), while referring to Ryan as "my friend" throughout the entire night.  Ryan, a smart man of high moral fiber, was totally shut out of the spotlight that evening.  Before that, while a Senator in the 80's, he went after potential presidential appointee William Clark by asking him questions outside of Clark's expertise, saying the whole time he was sorry for doing it and didn't enjoy it (Spectator.org).  Biden's inquiry had nothing to do with the reasons for Clark's nomination, they just served to destroy Clark's reputation.  In both instances, Biden seemed collected yet passionate, like a good friend defending his side in a high school debate club (and don't doubt me on that!  Conservatives may have been furious, but obviously the public at large thought it acceptable.  He was re-elected).

So it should be a bother that he now heads a commission that is trying to strong arm groups into supporting the President's ludicrous policies (Breitbart.com & TheBlaze.com).  There is no doubt that a man like Joe Biden will defame and attack anyone who tries to disagree or speak out against his party, and his talk of executive orders is a real threat (TheBlaze.com).  And what makes it worse is the picture painted of a doddering old fool who stumbles about and forces so many to smile and say, "Well, that's just Joe," when he appears to mess up.  Because the general public sees him as a nice man, and opponents underestimate him, Democrats can unleash their attack dog with devastating effect.

The frustration level with Joe Biden is high.  He truly is a very stupid man who gets away with so much simply because he is a progressive.  Any Republican like him would have been laughed out of Washington decades ago.  But being a liberal requires no intelligence, and neither does being a jerk.  Those with little or no brains or morals and a willingness to ruin other's reputation, finances, and life in general,  find a comfy home in the Left.
