  1. Sleepy also sticks because Biden DOES appear a little sleepy and off-stride. His gaffes used to be of the sharp-tongued variety. Now they're just kind of a vague thing, where he's speaking truth, but really hasn't thought out his arguments. It was a very legit point he was making about sitting down with segregationists and hammering out legislation. The point he was making was that people were still civil and able to get things done, even though the divide was much greater, in the past, than it is now. To him (and quite a few of us older folks), they're making 21st Century society sound worse than Jim Crow and it just ain't so. When things were worse, somehow both sides were more civil. What Democrats still can't argue around is the fact that blacks were gaining ground on whites economically and socially much more rapidly before Lyndon Johnson than after. Democrats may mean well, but their policies foster dependence and a sense of entitlement. Blacks are disproportionately affected, because a higher % were poor when both the New Deal and the Great Society programs were enacted. Both also fostered loyalty to the people who "helped" when other people were down. But that gratitude has been turned into more of a means by which to KEEP people down, rather than LETTING them stand on their own two feet.
