Why will Bernie never be president?

Just based on this 40 second video is why, that is all you need to understand about why Bernie will never become the president of the United States.

Bernie’s very vocal audience in this video is much more likely to become president then he.

Oh yeah, and if you are confused about this issue for some reason, BERNIE IS A COMMINIST!

If you choose to honeymoon in Moscow during the height of the cold war and you praise the value of bread lines, YOUR A COMMUNIST!

She was asking for it.

Saul Rosenberg: You should be ashamed of yourself for changing the context and meaning of what I wrote. I was very clear, saying it in italics, that these jack-booted thugs “need to be smacked down hard, at the polls.”

In case you don’t know this or have forgotten, “the polls” means removing these people by the use of a peaceful democratic process, by voting, by elections, by freely debating the issues without fear of violence and then allowing each person to make a private decision, in the voting booth. It does not mean rounding them up with guns and putting them in concentration camps or gulags, which it appears the left and Democratic Party increasingly supports.

That decision also means that the people they elect should have the freedom to decide how tax dollars are spent, including not financing thugs and brownshirts, as we presently do at these universities. It also means that these elected officials should have the right and power to fire unelected government officials who act to stymie or defy the will of the public.

However, on the relatively minor point of spelling, you are right, I made a typo and left an “l” out of “Kristallnacht”. I have corrected this error. Thank you for pointing it out.

Right = tea party : American revolution

vladdy: Welcome. Thank you for the comment and the kind words about my work.

I must note however that though you say you appreciate my comment rules, you violated them. Replacing one letter in an obscenity with an asterisk doesn’t work. To me it is being cute, making believe you are being civil even as you allow the use of a four-letter curse word to replace thoughtful writing.

I have deleted it. As you are new here, I am only warning you. You are very welcome to comment again, but the next time I will suspend you for a week.

As for the “provocation”….ever hear the famous case of the Nazis marching in Skokie? They were protected and SCOTUS proclaimed their right. This is esp true where taxpayer funding is involved. This is not a leftist-only institution (the school), but of course if we say her being there is a “provocation,” that is what you are saying.

No, the true provocation was those using their phones to call people to come join the party. They should have respected her right to be there and gone about their business rather than purposefully calling in a mob. At the least, they should have approached her individually. This was [deleted].

Last, a few mention “extreme left” and “extreme right.” I used to be a Green, considering myself a socialist, long ago and am now a Constitutional Conservative. Since the spectrum goes from totalitarianism on the left to libertarian on the right, why would a Constitutionalist now be considered an “extremist”? If that is not what people mean by using that phrase, what does “extreme right” mean to them? Because what it is, is totalitarianism … on both ends. There is no middle-class, populist/nationalist “extreme right.” Have we really lost our way to that extent?

This is not a battle between left and right. It’s between freedom and globalism, which has been and is being pushed by a coalition — we all know its members, except that islam is now on their side, as well (they don’t care if the take-over is by communism or islam, as the leaders don’t follow the rules made for the rest of us anyway.) How many know that Bernie’s campaign manager is an islamist with ties to Hamas and the Brotherhood?

(First visit here. Good site, and I appreciate your rules. Some comments sections are so bad that they’re impossible to visit now. Thanks for having standards.)

sippin_bourbon: You have a valid point. I usually take people to task for such posts, but didn’t this time.

I will consider and make a decision.

As per the discussion earlier, twitter is vile.

I know you ban insults and obscenities.
You may want to consider further limits.
When a post such as made earlier regarding violence is made, it will only draw the whole site down.
And it draws un-needed (and probably unwanted) attention.

It is a really stupid thing to say/post.
It is thoughtless, suggests illegality and unethical thinking.
We had just discussed the vileness of some posts on Social Media.. and Viola!

It is one thing to say “When the revolution comes, I/we will be prepared”.
Or perhaps even, “I will always defend myself/my values”, etc.
It is something else to say “Lets just start killing people.”

Perfect example of everything before the word “but” is BS.

keep having this conversation with my beloved Liberal Democrat friends (And I truly do love them) who some now call themselves “Progressives” : Socialism verses Social Programs. Two very, very different things that are conflated to mean the same thing and which destroys a rational political conversation. Right away we are on two different planets.

I keep running into this when attempting to talk about the now rising Democrat party star and probable presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders. I personally call Bernie a philosophical Communist due to his adoring admiration of Socialism and for the likes of Fidel Castro and the Chinese. And Communism is just Socialism with loaded guns pointed at the heads of the public. And of course the fact that Bernie and his lovely wife spent 10 days in 1988 and honeymooned in Moscow in the middle of the cold war. Now that’s dedication, where did you honeymoon? At the minimum Bernie is a philosophical Communist.

Bernie, being a philosophical Communist just does not get what America is fundamentally about: https://dailycaller.com/2020/02/24/bernie-sanders-fidel-castro-cuba-china/

In having different discussions with my now “Progressive” friends they always default state: “We (America) are already Socialist, what about all of the Social Programs that the government already has? That’s Socialism!”. Wrong.

Socialism: Is a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.

In other words the means of production / private businesses are communally owned / run by the public I.E. the government. In other words there is no private property, everyone works for the government and the “Community”. Every solution to a Socialist, to someone like Bernie, is the communal / cooperative / government run solution and not the market or free choice choice. The government confiscates the Rights to private property and the means of producing wealth of the people and “redistributes” it to the public. In other words, everyone is poor and remains poor. Now that’s equality.

And in our Capitalist country we have a fully operational political system and not a “theory of Social organization”.

Capitalism: An economic and political system in which a country’s trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than
by the state.

In a Capitalist country that also has the strongest Constitution ever conceived, like our country we freely CHOOSE to implement Social programs all while our fully operational governmental system remains separate and apart from the citizens and their private lives. Two very, very different things.

So are Social Programs the same as Socialism? The answer is without argument, NO. One is mandated by a government which essentially owns all means of production and wealth, and the other is a choice by free people who see a need and through their compassion and some coercion here and there at times provide Social programs for the less fortunate among us.

So lets at least get on the same planet more or less and not be confused on this subject any more.

That is like choosing to yell fire in a crowed theater and causing chaos and possible harm and potentially death. Freedom of speech just like in this case of this young woman and her YouTube feed and its content are free to do as they please.

But what happens when her Rights due to her agenda cause chaos and harm? Free speech is not free.

There is no value to what she is doing IMO.

If the ideals of liberty, the basics of human dignity, so eloquently laid out in our Declaration of Independence, are going to be preserved, then we must remove the apologist of the marxist lies from our educational institutions. The battle ground is more minute than national elections. This destructive ideology, is prevalent in just about every city council and school board throughout the land.

But only after telling the kids “Go ahead and call; I’ll tell them you called me a n****r and that’s why I chased you.” Spoiler: the kids didn’t. Just remember that when you’re spouting the justifications of “provocateur” etc.

“Why Auschwitz???”

I hear you, but the message I hear is more like;

I’m right and you are evil

Yep. I thought so.

This post brought to you by sarcasm, I can’t stomach watching those people anymore.

And from where I sit the vortex is full and getting fuller, no perspective, no development, no escape, a black hole of chaos.

And those provocators on both extremes and the psyop political operatives / deep staters / arms length operatives / Leftists love it all, its where they grow more and more powerful in the chaos.

Most all of the things like this that you see are manufactured controversies IMO, and both sides play into the social media “look at me, I have something to say and I am important” feeding frenzy.

We have seen it here BTB to some degree, I myself have participated in it in the beginning of posting here. But then you evolve hopefully and leave the learning curve behind and you become a more measured and rational communicator. In theory anyway.

These mostly young people are still on the learning curve and may just stay there to prove their dogmatic point.

All BS IMO with the potential to spiral out of control and into violence. And that is just what the extreme Left and extreme Right desire. And I say lets not provide them with their much needed controversy and provocative energy.

In the Y-tube comments, on F-book, on twitter, on [name almost any social media platform here]. Its all a cesspool. Linkedin is the one exception, I think, because it is mostly for people looking for work. That has not stopped some agencies from posting politically biased crud, and the comments are starting to get bad. “This is not facebook” or “Stop turning Linkedin into facebook” are common comments sadly.
I get concerned that it will hit critical mass, and become harder for honest people looking for work to have to post their social-justice credentials just to get looked at for a job.

There is a reason I am not on social media. Putting aside that it is a waste of time, the depth of depravity found there is bottomless.
