The Democrats are really socialists now
American Thinker ^ | Sept 13, 2015 | Silvio Canto, Jr

Posted on 09/13/2015 8:45:58 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The Bernie Sanders story is about two things:

1) His authenticity in contrast to the phoniness of the Clintons. In other words, the guy is real and speaks from the heart. He does not need a consultant to tell him to be more genuine.

2) He is telling many Democrats what they want to hear. Forgive me for saying it, but this is not your dad's or grandpa's Democratic Party. Hard to think that JFK, Humphrey, or Scoop Jackson would be cheering at a Sanders rally.

Socialists have been very good at rounding up and killing their class enemies.

Henry Wallace was recruited and supported by the Communists on instructions from Moscow in the ‘48 election.

He was the 33rd Vice President of America.

Democrats haven't run a non-socialist for president since Alton Parker.

Forgive me for saying it, but this is not your dad's or grandpa's Democratic Party. Hard to think that JFK, Humphrey, or Scoop Jackson would be cheering at a Sanders rally.Well it kind of is. For every JFK or Scoop Jackson, there were a hundred LBJs and Ted Kennedys.

I love The Greatest Generation but it has to be acknowledged that they helped create the Socialist foundation that this country sits on.

Whether it be by falling for Socialist Security or Medicare or any of the hundreds of other Socialist programs designed to prevent their children from suffering the kind of hardship they experienced.

To quote Mark Levin, "There! I said it!"

Flame away.

How can he run as a Democrat when he’s an Independent? Don’t they have rules about that?

That's for sure- I have known that for over 20 years. Here is an excerpt from my FR Profile.

"Two political gangs, the Republicans, and the Socialists (who have taken over the democrat party) divide the political spoils between them, and make sure no outside candidate, or third political party can ever get elected-with a few minor exceptions".

"As a right wing democrat who doesn't have a party anymore, I mostly vote for the stupid, politically inept, anti labor Republicans, because I feel they do less damage to the country and family, and are more supportive of our Constitution, than are the Socialists,who want to destroy this country." -tom

Oops. Forgot to cancel the italizations. Post should've gone thus:

They have been since the 1900. Glad people have realized it but 115 years is a bit long to catch on.

So the Democrats are running a devout Socialist. It’s good to see the Democrat Party moving to the right.

zer0bama is a Stalinist Marxist limited by the socialists in both parties.

Question is will he relinquish power?

Bump. Bernie Sanders is the logical conclusion of decades of the democrat party veering to the left. Even if Sanders loses in a landslide, he will have damaged this country by his mere presence. The term "socialist" is firmly being placed in the mainstream of politics.

Don’t forget that 0bama was a member of the Illinois Nrw Party when he ran for state senate. The goal of the New Party is to get Socialists elected from within the Denocrat Party.

They are just like us. Sick and disgusted of the party establishment.

They even have groups the party is bitterly suppressing out of fear they will take over and throw them from power. We have the Tea Party and they have the Blue Dogs.

We have the popular Trump, who doesn’t quite match our ideals. But he isn’t establishment. Its the same with Bernie.

Have been. For some time.

What is happening now is that they no longer have to hide it.

They have infiltrated enough of the government and the media that they can go public.

They are now the establishment.
