“maybe we can learn together”

I realize that Vice President Biden was trying to be “diplomatic” when he pointedly refused to second guess China’s barbaric one child policy, just as I realize that when he and his ilk talk about “reproductive rights” they are not talking about the right to reproduce. But what most gives me the creeps about Biden’s overall remarks is the way he expressed a sort of tacit, wink-wink understanding that governments have the inherent right to mandate such things whether citizens may have children, and how many children to have.

Here’s what Biden said:

You have no safety net. Your policy has been one which I fully understand — I’m not second-guessing — of one child per family. The result being that you’re in a position where one wage earner will be taking care of four retired people. Not sustainable.

So hopefully we can act in a way on a problem that’s much less severe than yours, and maybe we can learn together from how we can do that.

That’s chilling. Especially considering the past American tradition of freedom.

Does Biden realize we have a Constitution that not only doesn’t give central planners  like Biden the right to “act” on a “problem” of how many ants get to live on a centrally-controlled government ant farm? And that it it was carefully hammered out by people who willingly risked their lives to prevent such a thing from ever happening? Apparently not. And that’s being generous. More likely, he doesn’t care.

Shame on Biden.

(I mean that in the rhetorical sense, of course, as the man is shameless, and I am not naive.)
