On July 20, Nancy Pelosi said that if President Trump refuses to accept the results of the November election, he will have to be “fumigated” out of the White House. Fumigation is a technique used against insects, and the idea that human beings are insects has a long history in totalitarian discourse. Hitler described Jews as “vermin” and “parasites,” a form of dehumanization that is always just one step away from physical violence. Speaker Pelosi should apologize immediately, and profusely, for her use of this inappropriate rhetoric.
Most thoughtful persons would agree that labeling another an “insect” is uncivil. A cultured individual who practices civility is tolerant of the opinions and beliefs of others, and indeed, toleration is the best measure of civility. One may be a Catholic, but he practices tolerance toward other Christian and non-Christian forms of belief, even including atheism and agnosticism. He may be a liberal, but he values the opinions of conservatives and treats conservatives with respect.
By this measure, Joe Biden and the radicals who now support him have not been civil. Biden now expresses contempt for conservative policies before even considering their potential value. So it was with President Trump’s pledge to buy American-made goods. That pledge of “America First” drew harsh criticism from Biden and his party — until Biden stole the idea and made it part of his own platform. Biden could not bring himself to admit that Trump was right. That sort of contempt for another is the essence of incivility.
Like most liberals, Biden’s contempt is all-encompassing. In Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., ultimately decided in Hobby Lobby’s favor by the Supreme Court, Biden sided with those who would force persons of traditional Christian faith to pay for employees’ contraceptives. Indeed, it was Biden’s Affordable Care Act that forced Hobby Lobby to provide all twenty FDA-approved contraceptives to employees. The Obama administration was intolerant of traditionalists when it wrote the contraceptive mandate into the Affordable Care Act, and Biden would only double down on this intolerance if he sought to restore the mandate to his “expanded” version of Obamacare.
Hobby Lobby was not an isolated case of liberal intolerance. In every free speech case that arose during the Obama years, Biden seemed more than willing to force his opinions on others.
