Bernie Bros and the Catastrophe of Socialism
The love affair of young Americans with Bernie Sanders is the result of their disturbingly disastrous belief that they are entitled to what other people worked for. Pied Piper Bernie seduces young followers with his seductive lie: “You deserve and I will give you everything for free.” Ponder that, folks. In Bernie's America, no one has to work for anything.
Unless Bernie is another Jesus Christ who can feed 5,000 with a few fish and loaves of bread, Bernie's free everything means everyone will get a crumb -- long lines waiting for a crumb of healthcare, food, and so on. Far too many youths are Bernie Bros, true believers of his absurd mystical Promise Land where everyone gets a free ride.
Decades ago, we allowed New Leftist progressive zealots to infiltrate our schools. They taught our kids to hate the traditional family, God, America, and capitalism. They are still teaching our kids craziness such as “all whites are born racist” and “calling a boy a boy or calling a girl a girl” is hate speech. Anti-American schools have created this generation of entitled gimme, gimme, gimme Bernie Bros.
Almost 20 years ago, a newbie in politics, I accompanied our Republican Executive Committee official to a high school assembly. A Democrat and Republican spokesperson pitched the virtues of their party to the students. The Democrat promoted socialism using feel-good language, fairness, and a desire to take care of everybody. The Republican gave a brilliant intellectual speech of which I am confident did not resonate with the students.
Inside I was going nuts. I wanted to say, “Look kids. You and Larry have summer jobs as waiters. You work your butt off, remembering patrons' food orders correctly and swiftly filling their empty glasses; doing everything in your power to make their dining experience enjoyable. For your excellence, patrons tip you generously.
But rather than your well-deserved hard-earned money going into your pocket, it goes into a tip jar to be distributed equally between you and Larry. Meanwhile, Larry routinely arrives late, reeks of alcohol, takes long smoke breaks, routinely gets food orders wrong and does not give a rat's derriere about the patrons. Management (government) forces you to share the fruits of your labor with lazy Larry. That is the major flaw of socialism.”
Socialism goes against human nature. Because there will always be “lazy Larrys,” socialism fails everywhere it is tried.
William Bradford was the first governor of the Pilgrims' Plymouth Colony. Bradford tried socialism, which meant that everything belonged to the community and everyone supposedly did their fair share of the work. Because of lazy Larrys, it failed. Therefore, Bradford wisely decided to give everyone their own land, which was extremely successful. Due to an abundance, families began trading goods and services. Capitalism.
It is terrible that the Bernie Bros absurdly believe all wealth in America is ill-gotten, stolen from the poor and people of color around the world. Progressives' have robbed youths of hope for their future by teaching them the crazy lie that the earth will be uninhabitable in 12 years because Americans drive cars and eat meat. It is not surprising that a 19-year-old attempted to assassinate Donald Trump to save the planet. It is not surprising that deceived youths feel morally justified in physically beating and even murdering MAGA cap wearers.
Duped Bernie Bros are thrilled over his promise to confiscate all earnings over a million dollars. Cell phones, the internet, medical breakthroughs, and other blessings are the result of individuals being allowed to be the best they can be; striving to reap great rewards for themselves and their families. Folks, there is nothing evil about that. If the government takes everything over a million dollars, why would anyone take risks or pursue new breakthroughs?
Bernie's war on achievers equals a war on achievements for humanity. In a nutshell, crazy Bernie's message is “hate anyone who has more than you” which is the sin of covetousness.
“You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.” (Exodus 20:17)
Bernie and his fellow Democratic party presidential candidates' gospel includes demonizing, punishing, and redistributing the earnings of straight white men.
Socialism always leads to elitists dictating laws which do not apply to them. They live in exclusive fenced-in communities with armed security while demanding that we surrender our guns. We are left vulnerable to criminals. They travel in limos and private planes while mandating that we drive tiny tin-can cars to save the planet.
Socialism equals spreading misery and mediocrity equally. I believe I heard Rush Limbaugh say that.
Founding Father Benjamin Franklin said, “Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
Sadly, Franklin perfectly described this tragic and disastrous generation of Bernie bros.
Obama spearheads campaign against Sanders’ nomination as Democratic
presidential candidate
Obama panicking about his legacy?
Advises left to pick any Democrat
Obama Seeks Brother of "Chicago Mob Boss" for Top White House Post
Rather than Hope and Change,
Obama is delivering corporate socialism to America, all while claiming he’s
battling corporate America. It’s corporate welfare and regulatory robbery—it’s
Obamanomics.
“Records show that four
out of Obama's top five contributors are employees of financial
industry giants - Goldman Sachs ($571,330), UBS AG ($364,806),
JPMorgan Chase ($362,207) and Citigroup ($358,054).”
Why
aren’t the Wall Street criminals prosecuted?
In
May 2012, only days after JPMorgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon revealed that his bank
had lost billions of dollars in speculative bets, President Barack Obama
publicly defended the multi-millionaire CEO, calling him “one of the smartest
bankers we’ve got.” What Obama did not mention is that Dimon is a
criminal.
JPMorgan
is not the exception; it is the rule. Virtually every major bank that operates
on Wall Street has settled charges of fraud and criminality on a staggering
scale. In 2011, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations released a
630-page report on the financial crash of 2008 documenting what the committee
chairman called “a financial snake pit rife with greed, conflicts of interest
and wrongdoing.”
These
multiple crimes by serial lawbreakers have had very real and very destructive
consequences. The entire world has been plunged into an economic slump that has
already lasted more than five years and shows no signs of abating. Tens of
millions of families have lost their homes as a result of predatory mortgages
pushed by JPMorgan and other Wall Street banks.
INCEST! The
case of bankster-owned Barack
Obama and
crony Jamie Dimon of JP
MORGAN…
their looting continues!
Obama spearheads campaign against Sanders’ nomination as Democratic
presidential candidate
The first votes for the Democratic presidential nomination will
be cast in two months’ time, in the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary.
With former President Barack Obama taking the lead, the Democratic
Party is moving to ensure that issues of social inequality and wealth
distribution are excluded from the elections.
An article in Politico last
week (“Waiting for Obama”) reported that the “Democratic establishment is
counting on [Obama] to stop Trump and, perhaps, stave off Bernie as well.”
While noting that Obama’s public position is that he will
support whatever candidate is nominated, the article states, “There is one
potential exception: Back when Sanders seemed like more of a threat than he
does now, Obama said privately that if Bernie were running away with the
nomination, Obama would speak up to stop him.”
The report conforms to what Obama has said in statements over
the past two weeks to party donors and fundraisers in Washington, DC and
California. He claimed that the American people were opposed to any radical
change. “This is still a country that is less revolutionary than it is
interested in improvement,” Obama said. “They like seeing things improved. But
the average American doesn’t think we have to completely tear down the system
and remake it… They just don’t want to see crazy stuff.”
He continued, “We also have to be rooted in reality and the fact
that voters, including the Democratic voters and certainly persuadable
independents or even moderate Republicans, are not driven by the same views
that are reflected on certain, you know, left-leaning Twitter feeds. Or the
activist wing of our party.”
BLOG: BARACK OBAMA'S BANKSTER INFESTED ADMINISTRATION
SPEARHEADED THE GREATEST TRANSFER OF WEALTH TO THE RICH IN AMERICAN HISTORY!
While he did not name them, the meaning was clear, as the New York Times noted:
“His comments offered an implicit critique of Senators Bernie Sanders and
Elizabeth Warren…”
The concern of the Democratic Party establishment is not over
Sanders and Warren, both of whom are tested political operatives. Rather, they
do not want to run an election that appeals even in a limited way to the
class-based concerns of the vast majority of the population.
Beginning with Obama’s statement that the 2016 election was an
“intramural scrimmage” between two sides of the same team, the Democrats have
sought to redirect popular hostility to Trump behind their militarist,
anti-Russia campaign, the focus of the impeachment drive. This will be combined
with efforts to promote divisions based on race and gender.
Obama was only the most prominent spokesman for a right-wing
campaign throughout the month of November, including commentaries and
editorials in the Times and
the Washington Post (owned
by Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos), an op-ed from former Treasury Secretary
Lawrence Summers, and public statements from billionaires Warren Buffett, Bill
Gates, Mark Cuban and Leon Cooperman, all attacking proposals by Warren and
Sanders for a tax on accumulated wealth.
Billionaire Michael Bloomberg went even further, officially
announcing himself as a belated candidate for the Democratic presidential
nomination and funding a $30 million advertising blitz that began last week.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi joined in with an attack on the
health care proposal identified with Sanders and Warren. “I’m not a big fan of
Medicare-for-all,” she said on Bloomberg TV, the cable network controlled by
the billionaire now-candidate. She claimed that “there is a comfort level that
some people have with their current private insurance.”
Both Warren and Sanders have responded by shifting to the right.
Warren has backpedaled on her
“Medicare for All” proposal, releasing a “Plan B” that backtracks on the main
component of her campaign.
For his part, Sanders was queried in last month’s Democratic
presidential debate about Obama’s repudiation of revolution. “Is President
Obama wrong?” the moderator asked Sanders. The Vermont senator shelved his
rhetoric about “political revolution” and meekly replied, “No, he’s right. We
don’t have to tear down the system, but we do have to do what the American
people want.”
Both Sanders and Warren accept the fraudulent presentation of
the Obama administration as a “progressive” government that laid the basis for
further social reforms. They make no criticism of Obama’s bailout of Wall
Street, his wage-cutting attacks on auto workers, or his slashing of federal
support to public education and other social programs. They do not address the
undeniable political fact that it was the alignment of the Obama administration
with corporate America that drove sizeable sections of workers to turn their
backs on the Democratic Party and either vote for Trump or stay home on
Election Day in 2016.
Most critically, they support the foreign policy consensus in
the Democratic Party that underlies the campaign to impeach Trump, not for his
real crimes against immigrant workers and the democratic rights of the American
people, but for his transgressions against the demands of the
military-intelligence apparatus in relation to Ukraine, Russia and the Middle
East.
Warren has publicly embraced the Trump administration’s efforts
to strangle Venezuela with financial sanctions, while tacitly supporting the
overthrow of Bolivian President Evo Morales by a right-wing US-backed campaign
in which the Bolivian military played the central role. Sanders has referred to
the overthrow of Morales as a “coup,” but offers no alternative to the
aggressive assertion of US imperialist interests around the world, which is
supported by both the Democrats and Republicans.
And like most Democrats, Sanders has criticized Trump’s trade
war policies towards China from the right, demanding even more aggressive
protectionist measures that would only add fuel to the mounting global tensions
that bring with them the danger of a third world war.
The working class cannot defend its social rights to good-paying
jobs, decent schools, medical care and other social services, or fight the
growing danger of imperialist war, by means of the Democratic Party. This
requires the independent mobilization of the working class in both industrial
and political struggle, through strikes, mass demonstrations and the building
of an independent political movement directed against the capitalist system
based on a socialist program.
Obama panicking about his legacy?
Advises left to pick any Democrat
President Obama, who has
yet to endorse anyone for president, has one piece of advice for voters: Pick a
Democrat, any Democrat, doesn't matter who.
"Everybody needs to
chill out about the candidates, but gin up about the prospect of rallying
behind whoever emerges from this process," Obama told the millionaire
techies, according to far-left news channel CNN. "There will be
differences" between them, he added, "but I want us to make sure that
we keep in mind that, relative to the ultimate goal, which is to defeat a
president and a party that has ... taken a sharp turn away from a lot of the
core traditions and values and institutional commitments that built this
country," those differences are "relatively minor."
"The field will
narrow and there's going to be one person, and if that is not your perfect
candidate and there are certain aspects of what they say that you don't agree
with and you don't find them completely inspiring the way you'd like, I don't
care," he went on to say. "Because the choice is so stark and the
stakes are so high that you cannot afford to be ambivalent in this race."
Which is nuts advice to
that audience, given that several of the candidates are all but pledging to put
those companies out of business. Should Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook,
go vote for Elizabeth Warren, who can't stop singling him out as her model bad
guy? It's not exactly in tune with what the Silicon Valley is up against. How
about Bernie Sanders? Should they vote for a guy like that? Some will, but
probably not the ones who know that the Sanders idea is annihilation.
What we have here is
Obama being Obama, always looking out for himself.
The only real reason he
could really be so tin-earred toward his audience is that a Democrat in
place instead of a Republican would be his best hope of saving his legacy.
President Trump's been
dismantling that piece by piece, and any president who manages to stay in power
is going to leave a mark.
The problem with Obama is
that his legacy is built on water. Having rammed through signature legislation
such as Obamacare on strictly partisan lines, and having enacted regulations
such as DACA by executive order after Congress refused to pass his
proposed legislation, dismantling his one-man rule is pretty much a given,
a matter of time, given that pendulums swing for a reason. President Trump's
unusual election was likely a bid to correct Obama's nonpartisan rule by
fiat at least in part, he was only possible because Obama was so extreme.
Historically, only bipartisan bills stand the test of time as power shifts from
one side of the political aisle to the other. Unless your party's rule is
permanent, unpopular fiats are going to get swept aside in favor of better stuff.
That's the real way democracy works. Obama's legacy as I noted here, was all but
certain to be erased as the pendulum swings, and doubly so if voters give
the next party a stronger mandate on a second term.
Obama always dismissed
bipartisanship as Republican recalcitrance, and never attempted to cut deals
with them. He was always the holy one, calling his one man rule things such
as "core traditions and values and institutional commitments that
built this country," as he said above. It's a laughable statement if there
ever was one, given his far-left and Marxist past and associations.
In any case, the
ex-president can see the writing on the wall as Trump surges in the polls, and
most Democratic presidential candidates fall flat on their faces. (How's Joe
Biden doing these days, Barack?) They're all a disaster and he knows they're a
disaster yet they're his only hope for keeping a scintilla of his legacy
intact. So he throws out that desperate plea to vote for anyone, for nothing
more than to beat Trump.
For all of George Bush's
shortcomings, we never saw the man do that.
But Obama's a bit
different.
Color me doubtful that
anyone listens to him.
Obama Seeks Brother of "Chicago Mob Boss" for Top White House Post
The roaches and
con-artist, fake journalist on cable news are all lying about William Daley
being all this and all that, this man is an open borders, down with America,
free trade globalist. MSNBC and Gretta "the Scientology"
Van Susteren from Fox News are knowingly deceiving the public about D. Issa
& his letter to "business owners"=which they made into such a BIG
DAM DEAL, but no one says anything when Barrack Hussein Obama, comes around
with all of these shady bankers, hedge fund managers and Wall St. Tycoons,
which he puts in his cabinet. All of Obama's meeting with Wall
Street asking, "What can I do for you?" is never something covered by
Keith Oberman or Rachel Maddow.
(Bloomberg) -- President
Barack Obama is considering naming William Daley, a JPMorgan Chase & Co.
executive and former U.S. Commerce secretary, to a high-level administration
post, possibly White House chief of staff, people familiar with the matter
said.
BOOK
Obamanomics: How Barack
Obama Is Bankrupting You and Enriching His Wall Street Friends, Corporate
Lobbyists, and Union Bosses
BY TIMOTHY P CARNEY
Editorial Reviews
Obama Is Making You
Poorer—But Who’s Getting Rich?
Goldman Sachs, GE,
Pfizer, the United Auto Workers—the same “special interests” Barack Obama was
supposed to chase from the temple—are profiting handsomely from Obama’s Big
Government policies that crush taxpayers, small businesses, and consumers. In
Obamanomics, investigative reporter Timothy P. Carney digs up the dirt the
mainstream media ignores and the White House wishes you wouldn’t see. Rather
than Hope and Change, Obama is delivering corporate socialism to America, all
while claiming he’s battling corporate America. It’s corporate welfare and
regulatory robbery—it’s Obamanomics.
Congressman Ron Paul
says, “Every libertarian and free-market conservative needs to read
Obamanomics.” And Johan Goldberg, columnist and bestselling author says,
“Obamanomics is conservative muckraking at its best and an indispensable field
guide to the Obama years.”
If you’ve wondered what’s
happening to America, as the federal government swallows up the financial
sector, the auto industry, and healthcare, and enacts deficit exploding
“stimulus packages,” this book makes it all clear—it’s a big scam. Ultimately,
Obamanomics boils down to this: every time government gets bigger, somebody’s
getting rich, and those somebodies are friends of Barack. This book
names the names—and it will make your blood boil.

Investigative reporter
Timothy P. Carney digs up the dirt the mainstream media ignores and the White
House wishes you wouldn’t see. Rather than Hope and Change, Obama is delivering
corporate socialism to America, all while claiming he’s battling corporate
America. It’s corporate welfare and regulatory robbery—it’s Obamanomics. In
this explosive book, Carney reveals:
* The Great Health Care
Scam—Obama’s backroom deals with drug companies spell corporate profits and
more government control
* The Global Warming
Hoax—Obama has bought off industries with a pork-filled bill that will drain
your wallet for Al Gore’s agenda
* Obama and Wall
Street—“Change” means more bailouts and a heavy Goldman Sachs presence in the
West Wing (including Rahm Emanuel)
* Stimulating K
Street—The largest spending bill in history gave pork to the well-connected and
created a feeding frenzy for lobbyists
* How the GOP needs to
change its tune—drastically—to battle Obamanomics
Praise for Obamanomics
“The notion that ‘big
business’ is on the side of the free market is one of progressivism’s most
valuable myths. It allows them to demonize corporations by day and get in bed
with them by night. Obamanomics is conservative muckraking at its best. It
reveals how President Obama is exploiting the big business mythology to
undermine the free market and stick it to entrepreneurs, taxpayers, and
consumers. It’s an indispensable field guide to the Obama years.”
—Jonha Goldberg, LA Times
columnist and best-selling author
“‘Every time government
gets bigger, somebody’s getting rich.’ With this astute observation, Tim Carney
begins his task of laying bare the Obama administration’s corporatist governing
strategy, hidden behind the president’s populist veneer. This meticulously
researched book is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand how
Washington really works.”
—David Freddoso,
best-selling author of The Case Against Barack Obama
“Every libertarian and
free-market conservative who still believes that large corporations are trusted
allies in the battle for economic liberty needs to read this book, as does
every well-meaning liberal who believes that expansions of the
welfare-regulatory state are done to benefit the common people.”
—Congressman Ron Paul
“It’s understandable for
critics to condemn President Obama for his ‘socialism.’ But as Tim Carney
shows, the real situation is at once more subtle and more sinister. Obamanomics
favors big business while disproportionately punishing everyone else. So-called
progressives are too clueless to notice, as usual, which is why we have Tim
Carney and this book.”
