Listen to This Article: "The Bidens": Is the First Family Corrupt, or Merely Crazy?
I began reading Schreckinger's book last night and this passage jumped out at me.
Biden lost his wife and daughter and then...
"Joe went through severe depression. The title of his memoir, Promises to Keep, is an allusion to Robert Frost’s 1923 poem, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.”
In it, the narrator pauses his journey on a cold winter’s night to entertain a temptation to wander off into a frozen forest.
It ends: The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.
The poem is widely interpreted to be about the contemplation of suicide. In the aftermath of the accident, Joe did consider killing himself.
“Suicide wasn’t just an option, but a rational option,” he wrote in the memoir. Instead, he decided he owed it to his sons to keep going."
All of these broken people in leadership in our nation, traumetized, handled by the media, and their personal tragedies splayed on tv... milked for maximum effect.
I am all for Biden choosing to live for his sons.
But did the nation have to suffer all of the deep and dark dysfunction along with the grifters known as the Biden family?
Do we not have healthy and whole men and women in America who can step up and serve a few terms and then quietly go back home to their communities?
My prayer is that as Bidens crimes are more fully exposed, we will comfortable move away from career politicians to term limits and citizen representatives in state and national government.
The government we have now is the one the founders feared and wrote the United States Constitution to prevent.
Love these audio formats. Listen to them on my daily walks. Thanks. -dc
