Joe Biden says he wants to make America “straight” again. If that’s true, he is just the opposite of Barack Obama who wanted to push homosexuality.

That’s what Biden said on April 25, the day after he announced he was running for president. Biden said, “America is coming back like we used to be: ethical, straight  … supporting our allies. All those good things.”

Biden is from a generation that “straight” means honest and forthright, like a “straight shooter.” But Obama’s followers think that “straight” only means someone who doesn’t have sex with someone of their same sex.

You have to wonder what Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, who is also running for the Democrat nomination for president, thinks about Biden’s choice of words. Buttigieg declared that he was a homosexual during his re-election campaign in 2015 and he has “married” another man.

Biden’s “straight” comment won’t buy many votes for Biden in the leftist wing of the Democrat Party – which includes a lot of millennials.

Trump says, “Make America great again.”

Biden says, “Make America ‘straight’ again.”

Actually, coming out (pun intended) against the Homosexual Agenda could get Biden some votes from disenfranchised Democrats. But it will cost him dearly in the Democrat presidential primaries.

And Biden’s message – make America like I remember it – won’t sit well with younger voters im either party.

If Biden misspoke, it isn’t the first time.

When he was with former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg at a gun-control press conference a few years ago, Biden said,  “Think about what happened out in – when Gabby Giffords, my good friend, was shot and mortally wounded.”

If you are “mortally wounded,” you are dead. Giffords is still alive.

Biden said once in a town hall meeting,  “If you want to protect yourself, get a double-barrel shotgun, just fire two blasts outside the house.”

Of course, if you fire both barrels, you have no more shells and therefore you can’t defend yourself.

At the Iowa State Society inauguration ball, Biden said,  Biden declared, “I’m proud to be president of the United States.” The audience laughed as he corrected himself. He said, “I’m proud to be vice president of the United States. And I’m prouder to be Barack Obama, President Barack Obama’s vice president.”

Kind of reminds me of Gerald Ford in his worst moments.

On August 22, 2012, Biden said, “Folks, I can tell you I’ve known eight presidents, three of them intimately.”

Biden needs the black vote but on August 14, 2012 (to a largely black audience), he said, “Look at what they [Republicans] value, and look at their budget. And look what they’re proposing. [Romney] said in the first 100 days, he’s going to let the big banks write their own rules – unchain Wall Street. They’re going to put y’all back in chains.”

Back in chains?

Biden said on May 16, 2012, “My mother believed and my father believed that if I wanted to be president of the United States, I could be vice president!”

On March 17, 2010, Biden said, “His mom lived in Long Island for 10 years or so. God rest her soul. And- although, she’s – wait – your mom’s still – your mom’s still alive. Your dad passed. God bless her soul.”

Biden doesn’t exude confidence. On February 6, 2009, he said, “If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there’s still a 30 percent chance we’re going to get it wrong.”

He spells worse than Dan Quayle. On October 15, 2008, Biden said, “…a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs.”

Biden apparently didn’t major in U.S. history. On September 22, 2008, Biden said, “When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn’t just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, ‘Look, here’s what happened.”

The market crashed in 1929, before FDR was president.

Perhaps the worst slip was on September 12, 2008, when Biden said to wheelchair-bound Missouri state Sen. Chuck Graham, “Stand up, Chuck, let ’em see ya.”

Biden is painfully honest. On September 10, 2008, Biden said, “Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me.”

Joe Biden is 76 and would turn 78 shortly after the election in November of 2020. There are a lot of sharp people in that age group but there are others who are “one taco short a combo plate.”

I’ll let you decide which category Joe Biden falls in.
