More Liberal Democrat Support For Xi And China - Why Do Liberals Cozy Up To China?

Progressives seem to have a new message when it comes to rampant wrongdoing by China. "Who cares?" Brazenly stealing technology and illegally manipulating currency. "Who cares?" Allowing carbon emissions to rise unchecked while encouraging developed countries to handicap their own economies in the name of fighting climate change. "Who cares?" Threatening the sovereignty of American allies by illegally constructing military bases in international waters. "Who cares?"

Liberals have criticized President Trump for his tough stance on Beijing, accusing him of exaggerating its aggressive geopolitical aspirations. This blind sinophilia has somehow even extended to environmental policy. Despite the fact that China is the biggest emitter of carbon dioxide on the planet, and it still aims to continue industrializing as quickly as possible without changing its polluting ways, thousands of activists descended upon Washington to protest government inaction on climate change.

China, now the second largest economy in the world, was curiously spared from the hysterical accusations leveled at Western leaders by leftist activists during the United Nations General Assembly meeting. Even the teenager whose diatribe had many European leaders quaking in their loafers evoked little more than simple bemusement from the Chinese.

Democrats have gone right along with this "see no evil" approach toward the polluting ways of China, demanding that Americans bear the burden of drastic emissions cuts, while turning a blind eye to the fact that Beijing has adamantly refused to take any actions that might harm the Chinese economy. Nearly every Democratic presidential candidate is proposing a radical environmental agenda that would cripple the American economy, while doing nothing to make China cut down on its carbon emissions.

The inspiration behind all these plans is the Green New Deal, a package of impossible environmental goals that could cost taxpayers a staggering $93 trillion. Even the "moderate" versions of the Green New Deal that some Democrats have introduced in recent months are still projected to cost trillions of dollars and inflict damage on the American economy.

This is not a serious approach to climate change. Sadly for American workers, though, it is perfectly consistent with the refusal of Democrats to acknowledge anything negative about China. Liberal apologists for the communist regime have been the most vociferous critics of the strategic tariffs imposed by President, for instance, loudly demanding a return to the old status quo under which China brazenly ripped off American products, stole American technology, and took away American jobs.

This theft was crucial to the stunning transformation of China from an impoverished backwater into a global powerhouse. But former Vice President Joe Biden notoriously insists that China is "not competition" for the United States, adding that the Chinese communists who regularly bully their smaller neighbors, including Hong Kong, are "not bad folks."

President Trump is taking the responsible approach, punishing Beijing for its decades of trade abuses and other harmful violations of international conventions. While the Democrats daydream about cozying up to Beijing, President Trump is thinking about the welfare of the American people. The United States finally has a leader who is doing something right on this.

Draft-Dodging Coward

While first glance at Creepy Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak Joe Biden's long career in politics would give you the impression of a racist plagiarism and serious pedophile, don't worry, there's far more skeletons in his closet.

In addition to everything we already know is wrong with Old-Rich-White- Religious Freak, Joe Biden, he also seems to have a history of evading the draft in Vietnam, according to a report from InsideSources.

Of course, the outlet also bashes President Trump over his own deferment during Vietnam, but to compare Trump to Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden in this respect, as you will come to learn, is a pretty unfair comparison.

According to the report, after graduating college in 1968, Old-Rich-White- Religious Freak, Joe Biden was eligible for the draft, meaning he should have ended up fighting in Vietnam. He earned a 1-Y draft deferment, however, due to asthma:

That's right-asthma.

There's one little problem with Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden's "asthma."

Although Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden was granted a deferment for "asthma as a teenager"... this didn't stop him from playing high school football.

Oops.

InsideSources also points out that, in Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden's autobiography, Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden makes no mention of asthma, but does brag about being "active in intramural sports" in college, and "recounts an active childhood [and] football exploits in high school."

Certainly doesn't seem like the kind of asthma that should have kept him from the draft if he had no problem with "football exploits."

What's worse, during one summer home from college, according to Old-Rich-White- Religious Freak, Joe Biden's own account, he worked as a lifeguard, which certainly has very high standards for physical fitness, including a healthy set of lungs.

It gets worse.

One incident from that summer stands out: How Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden had to wrap a six-foot length of metal chain around his arm to face off against a knife-wielding local tough who went by the name "Corn Pop."

"You might cut me, Corn Pop, but I'm going to wrap this chain around your head before you do," Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden told him. Strong words, but he was a healthy, high school football player who could back them up. Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden and Corn Pop resolved their differences without violence and, according to Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden, became poolside friends.

Just six years later, at the height of the fighting in Vietnam, that same poolside athlete avoided mandatory military service due to "asthma as a teenager."

So let's get this straight.

Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden, as a teenager, was healthy enough to play football and also qualify as a lifeguard, which is no easy feat.

And the left wants to mock Trump's "bone spurs," which is the reason behind his own 1-Y classification. However, bone spurs are a real diagnosis that don't seem to conflict with Trump's lifestyle at all.

He's not exactly known for competing in triathlons.

Old-Rich-White-Religious Freak, Joe Biden, on the other hand, is a known liar and and fraud, and is going to have a very hard time explaining this doozy.
