In State Fair visit, Bernie Sanders criticizes Trump and advocates economic equality

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders told a crowd at the Minnesota State Fair on Saturday that there are two reasons he’s running for president: 1) President Donald Trump is “dangerous” and must be defeated and 2) to promote economic equality.

“This country cannot continue to have a president who is a pathological liar; who conducts public policy via tweet; who is a racist, a sexist, a homophobe, and a xenophobe and a religious bigot,” he said.

This was the first time Sanders, 77, has brought his 2020 Democratic presidential campaign to Minnesota. The Vermont senator spoke Saturday from the Minnesota Public Radio building. He defeated Hillary Clinton in Minnesota’s 2016 Democratic caucuses and has thousands of volunteers in the state.

MPR News host Tom Crann had planned a casual Q&A, but the feisty senator often co-opted the interview, standing and stumping for his top issues — climate change, free college tuition and expanded Medicare.

And every reporter asks, "Can you give us a few examples, please?"

Never held a private-sector job in his entire life.

Actually colluded with Russia right during the Cold War in 1988, by going there and praising their authoritarian communist system.

You know, I'm glad that Hillary cheated him out of the nomination in 2016. There was a real chance he could have beaten Trump. Can you imagine this clown as President?

Why cheer or work America
Land of the brave and true
With homes and jobs for all
That will work for them?

Every man miserable
Every man miserable
Just so long as we get those millionaires
They say it belongs to them
But wean take it for ourselves
When it’s Sunny June and December too
Or in the winter time or spring
There’ll be government programs without end
Every neighbor an informant
With every man miserable!

The original was a lot of ass hat too ... just not honest for what would result:

Why weep or slumber America
Land of brave and true
With castles and clothing and food for all
All belongs to you

Ev’ry man a king, ev’ry man a king
For you can be a millionaire
But there’s something belonging to others
There’s enough for all people to share
When it’s sunny June and December too
Or in the winter time or spring
There’ll be peace without end
Ev’ry neighbor a friend
With ev’ry man a king

Hillary would have been horrific ... but at least she would have sold us out rather than turned us over for nothing!

Belongs in a circus side-show, not at a State Fair. “See the Grumpy Old Man....he rants, he raves, he waves his arms in the air....Feel free to laugh at him, just stay off of his lawn.”

Bernie and his moronic rants would be perfect for a dunk tank at the fair.

It was loser just like you, Comrade Bernie.

This all remind me of the letter I send out annually to about 40 papers and commentators. I have actually had it published a couple times. The bibliography is the best part. July 4 and the American Dream

On July 4 we recognize the Declaration of Independence defining the American Dream as inalienable natural rights including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Constitution establishes government embodying these treasured rights by promoting the general welfare and securing the blessings of liberty.

Whatever the Constitution further defines relies upon natural human rights independent of and superior to any government construction. They are intangible property sourced in opinion, religion, communications, use of abilities to labor physically and mentally, and in conscience. Only by application of these inherent rights can one truly possess material things.

The American Dream never meant government largess ensuring college funds, retirement accounts, savings, affordable health care, home ownership, lifetime employment, corporate wealth, political careers, and union benefits.

Politicians become patricians offer enchanting elements of material security such as described above, while obscuring subservience to administrative laws and regulations vastly increasing their power. Their legislation and rules negate our Bill of Rights confiscating intangible human freedoms for these apparitions.

Such devices are the soft underbelly of our Constitution. Under English Common Law, basic to our Constitution, a person is innocent and not subject to the penalties of law until proved guilty. Administrative laws and regulations, like Roman Civil Law, subject people to government penalties and restrictions until they find legal means to extricate themselves.

People now routinely make unconscious Faustian like bargains to exchange their human essence for illusions of material comfort. However, true freedom requires uncompromising adherence to American ideals of inherent, intangible natural rights.

I honestly am glad Hillary won the nomination than Bernie. A lot of idiots out there would’ve supported Bernie.

“Economic equality”. I like how socialists always have to disguise their words. He means communism.
