Bernie Sanders - Make America Socialist!

[ark steel]

Biden makes Dan Quayle and Coolie look like the President and Vice President of Mensa.

 

[Superman]

Biden makes me believe that at some point we're all going to be tapped on the shoulder and someone's going to point to a camera.

uh-oh...Bernie going to lose his Senate seat because he a RACIST?

duh - everybody knows he hates black people

ha ha


Could this political gadfly steal Bernie Sanders' Senate seat?

Giordano, a 56-year-old journalist and organizer, thinks the Vermont senator "has a blind spot on racial justice issues," Giordano argues.

He is "exploiting racial and gender divisions... in a way that harms the movement."

For instance, Sanders' comments about the illegitimacy of the primary process, and dismissal of Clinton's victories in Southern states, which were fueled by black voters, have "poisoned the well," Giordano says, and made unity against the Republicans difficult. That divisiveness, he believes, "also harms the people of Vermont. He's going to be a pariah in Congress. He's not going to be able to get anything done for Vermont."

Giordano's impetus for challenging Sanders in 2018, then, is explicitly about party coalitions, cohesion, and pragmatic efforts at change. He is threatening to oppose Sanders because Sanders is, in his view, threatening the unity of the Democratic Party coalition.

White Power Bernie! Once he drops out, no one will pay attention to him again, back to the dustbin

he'll be dead and buried before Trump ends his first presidency anyway.

As I predicted, all good forces will join ranks to defeat the menace currently threatening America.

Headline News: Bernie vows to fight to the bitter end, refuses to concede!

CrazyBernie is turning into a punchline


Bernie Sanders' Nomination Battle is Over and he has to Admit it

Bernie Sanders officially looks like Hiro Onoda now, the member of the Imperial Japanese Army who held out in the Philippines for nearly 30 years before finally surrendering in 1974. Through it all Onoda managed to hold on to his rank as a second lieutenant in his army, and keep fighting, long after the war was over. Even through the primaries of Tuesday night, most of which he lost, Bernie did the same.

But he vows to keep fighting through a primary in Washington, D.C., that no one even knew existed. He vows to fight on to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. This isn't about his progressive values, or ideals, this is about vanity, and stubbornness, as if he keeps getting angrier and angrier that the rest of us don't know how good he is, and how good for the country.

It is worth noting that after Hiro Onoda finally left Lubang Island in the Philippines and returned home to Japan, there were people urging him to run for office. He even wrote a book about being a guerrilla fighter in a war long over: "No Surrender: My Thirty Year War." Bernie's is starting to feel at least that long.

Somebody needs to give Sanders the hook. He needs to understand, once and for all, that if he is not helping the nominee from his own party that he is helping the presumptive nominee from the other party. That's the deal.

Yet again proving how completely out of touch you are with reality. Shake hands with deljzc, you two take the cake for completely missing the mark on Bernie's concepts and policies. You guys kept repeating your own lies and misrepresentations, that in the end you believed your own bullshit.

You're actually the one with the wool pulled over your eyes. The joke is and always has been on you and his followers. You've let a communist, a man who honeymooned in the Soviet Union, convince you that he is FDR-like...and that his policies are "democratic Socialism." The fact that you and so many have bought his propaganda is disturbing. No other way to put it.

Hook, line, sinker...

Footage Surfaces of Bernie Sanders Praising COMMUNIST BREAD LINES (VIDEO)

John Stossel of the FOX Business Network recently interviewed Michael Moynihan of the Daily Beast on the subject of Bernie Sanders and his past statements on Socialist and Communist regimes.

http://nypost.com/2016/01/16/dont-be-fooled-by-bernie-sanders-hes-a-diehard-communist/

Don’t be fooled by Bernie Sanders — he’s a diehard communist

The hook and the line:

the liberal media elite have suddenly stopped calling him socialist. He’s now cleaned up as a “progressive” or “pragmatist.”

The sinker:

Rewind to 1964.

While attending the University of Chicago, Sanders joined the Young People’s Socialist League, the youth wing of the Socialist Party USA. He also organized for a communist front, the United Packinghouse Workers Union, which at the time was under investigation by the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

After graduating with a political science degree, Sanders moved to Vermont, where he headed the American People’s History Society, an organ for Marxist propaganda. There, he produced a glowing documentary on the life of socialist revolutionary Eugene Debs, who was jailed for espionage during the Red Scare and hailed by the Bolsheviks as “America’s greatest Marxist.”

This subversive hero of Sanders, denounced even by liberal Democrats as a “traitor,” bashed “the barons of Wall Street” and hailed the “triumphant” Bolshevik revolution in Russia.

“Those Russian comrades of ours have made greater sacrifices, have suffered more, and have shed more heroic blood than any like number of men and women anywhere on Earth,” Debs proclaimed. “They have laid the foundation of the first real democracy that ever drew the breath of life in this world.”

In a 1918 speech in Canton, Ohio, Debs reaffirmed his solidarity with Lenin and Trotsky, despite clear evidence of their violent plunder and treachery.

Sanders still hangs a portrait of Debs on the wall in his Senate office.

In the early ’70s, Sanders helped found the Liberty Union Party, which called for the nationalization of all US banks and the public takeover of all private utility companies.

After failed runs for Congress, Sanders in 1981 managed to get elected mayor of Burlington, Vt., where he restricted property rights for landlords, set price controls and raised property taxes to pay for communal land trusts. Local small businesses distributed fliers complaining their new mayor “does not believe in free enterprise.”

His radical activities didn’t stop at the *water’s edge.

Sanders took several “goodwill” trips not only to the USSR, but also to Cuba and Nicaragua, where the Soviets were trying to expand their influence in our hemisphere.

In 1985, he traveled to Managua to celebrate the rise to power of the Marxist-Leninist Sandinista government. He called it a “heroic revolution.” Undermining anti-communist US policy, Sanders denounced the Reagan administration’s backing of the Contra rebels in a letter to the Sandinistas.

His betrayal did not end there. Sanders lobbied the White House to stop the proxy war and even tried to broker a peace deal. He adopted Managua as a sister city and invited Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega to visit the US. He exalted Ortega as “an impressive guy,” while attacking President Reagan.

“The Sandinista government has more support among the Nicaraguan people — substantially more support — than Ronald Reagan has among the American people,” Sanders told Vermont government-access TV in 1985.

Sanders also adopted a Soviet sister city outside Moscow and honeymooned with his second wife in the USSR. He put up a Soviet flag in his office, shocking even the Birkenstock-wearing local liberals. At the time, the Evil Empire was on the march around the world, and threatening the US with nuclear annihilation.

Then, in 1989, as the West was on the verge of winning the Cold War, Sanders addressed the national conference of the US Peace Council — a known front for the Communist Party USA, whose members swore an oath not only to the Soviet Union but to “the triumph of Soviet power in the US.”

Today, Sanders wants to bring what he admired in the USSR, Cuba, Nicaragua and other communist states to America.

I DO find it surprising that you, and so many, would openly and willingly vote for a Communist. That you're either too stupid to understand the perils, or that you've become such lemmings that you buy the deceit and lies that the man is a "Democratic Socialist" like FDR. Re-read his history above. Re-read it a hundred times, I ask you, and for once open your eyes.

Smack!

Obama disses Bernie, Endorses Hillary

[21STEELERS21]

Communism and Marxism don't even have a foothold in China, Russia and Cuba any longer. Are some of you actually frozen
in the 60's? If so, Pirates win the World Series in 1971, put some money on it.

I can see where so many of today's youth would pull for him because he is promising so much free stuff. I would wager that a majority of his backers do not pay taxes.

As far as Tibs goes,,,I have never been sure what his deal is and with all due respect to him for being a Steeler Fan, the guy doesn't even live in the States. Is he or has he ever been a citizen of the United States? He could be Cat Stevens for all I know but I'm not sure how his opinion on how we should run our country would matter to anyone who is actually sitting on US soil. That would equate to me advising someone living in Hungary on how they should run their government. I'd have nothing but the basis for how things run here (or attempt to) to base my arguments.

My understanding is that Tibs grew up in the states and is a citizen that lives in Hungary.

 

[JMM]

My wife has a co-worker who was born in Hungary and her parents came over to make a ton of money and went back. They were full citizens of the US too. I recall having dinner at their house and they had nothing nice to say about the US. They just used what the country had to offer and left. I have no doubt their daughter will do the same. She's borderline communist as well. I guess you can take a commie out of a former communist country but can't take the commie out of them.

 

[Tibs]

Indeed, that is the case. I'm an American living and working abroad. I initially planned to stay in Europe for a year or two, but business opportunities arose, and I've founded and manage several businesses over the past 15 years that keep me busy. At some stage, I may well return to CA or elsewhere. For now, I'm happy to visit as often as I can. Our three children will be getting ready for college in a few years, they too may return stateside at some point.

Interesting to note, I am among millions of so called ex-pat Americans spread around the globe. In Budapest, there are probably a few hundred Americans living and working here, also in business, or at the Embassy or the American school. The majority, but not all, are Republicans, for the better or worse.

The Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP), tasked with assisting overseas Americans with voting, estimates 4.5 million to 6.5 million overseas Americans.

Mrs. Steeltime and I have purchase a ranch in a state other than California, and hope to retire there reasonably soon.

California has an economy doing okay right now, but the taxes are ridiculous. You want my take? If you can run your business in Nevada or Arizona, do so - the housing costs are much more reasonable, traffic is vastly better, and the quality of life is just better.

Just shows me how far our morals have degraded and how low our institutions of higher learning have fallen that we have so many young people and students following an openly communist hack, with the track record of an out of work carnival barker.

It's funny/ironic how you - and others - love to throw that term around. As smart as you think you are, you simply don't understand the concept of communism, and how it doesn't relate to anything Bernie Sanders is suggesting. But I do understand how it narrows everything down for you into simple soundbites that makes it easier to dismiss out of hand. To each his own.

That sounds great and all but there's no BEACH! If I moved back for anything, it would be for the sun & surf. I miss that more than anything (especially these past few years that I've been able to watch live Steelers games on nfl game pass). The only thing I truly miss from southern Cali is living near the beach and going body surfing...

Perhaps you can explain to us the difference. Every communist state started as a socialist state.

 

[Tibs]

Perhaps you can explain to us the difference.

Look it up in the dictionary:

: a way of organizing a society in which the government owns the things that are used to make and transport products (such as land, oil, factories, ships, etc.) and there is no privately owned property

When has Bernie Sanders even remotely suggested any of this? Government owns means of production? No privately owned property, etc?

It's been a hack job from the beginning to label him a communist, compare his policies to what's happening in Venezuela, etc. Anyone with half a brain saw through that crap. Cheap and easy character assassination, nothing more, nothing less.

To even a casual observer, the clear political connect is btwn Sanders and FDR. Calling for a fairer, more progressive distribution of federal tax dolllars from being skewered to favor the wealthy, big banks and corporations as is currently to something more amicable to the middle class that makes up the majority of the population.

I'd imagine a lot of immigrants feel like that. They don't like working for peanuts. Make some serious bank here go back and live lavishley

Furthermore, the Democratic Socialists’ chief organizing goal is to work within the Democratic Party.

“Stress our Democratic Party strategy and electoral work,” the same document explains. “The Democratic Party is something the public understands, and association with it takes the edge off. Stressing our Democratic Party work will establish some distance from the radical subculture and help integrate you to the milieu of the young liberals.”

Yet, that radical subculture is alive and well within the Democratic Socialists of America and its affiliate group, the Progressive Caucus of Congress.

Make no mistake. These folks are revolutionaries. They may dress in suit and tie. They may not carry guns and bandoleers. But the Red Army Caucus in Congress is at the vanguard of a Communist movement that has no respect for the U.S. Constitution, individual rights and the freedoms America takes for granted today.

And Bernie Sanders is their leader.

I hear 'ya. The place where we bought our 2 acres has 3 very nice lakes nearby - 20 minutes and sand and water.

Surfing? Okay, not so much, but the great housing prices, the beautiful environment, the non-existent traffic? Yes, please.

Los Angeles' beaches? Get ready for traffic on the 10 or PCH, driving around looking for parking, spending $20 on parking, and 60 minutes just to get to the freaking beach.
