Isn’t Sanders the ultimate, utopia unicorn?
Sound familiar? It should. This is precisely the impetus behind every extremist movement in history.
Funny, this describes Obama and the Dems to a T but it's only pointed out to benefit Hitlery.
So if you are a Democrat, your choices Bernie Sanders, who is an ideological purist, rigid and arrogant to the point of ineffectiveness. Or money-grubbing grifter Hillary Clinton, who probably would support the Republican platform if you paid her or Bill enough.
While both candidates seek to highlight their differences, they have far more in common with each other than either of them does with the extremist and often dangerous positions of the Republican contenders.
In which the author nullifies his own premise,
or is it exemplifies?
It’s Salon so it’s hard to tell...
The minute Hillary looks like she isn’t going to win the Dem Nomination, a second after that is when the “Sword of Damocles” (scandals) gets dropped on her head....
I am convinced that the only thing keeping Hillary safe from prosecution is her running for president..
Methinks part of why Hillary is doing poorly is precisely that she does, in fact, understand socialism has limits: it all has to be paid for, no matter what shell game is used, and that there is a limit to what can be scammed out of people’s pockets. She can’t compete with the raging enthusiasm of a Leftist “true believer” who is in fact an avowed communist, a philosophy that makes no bones about the fact that EVERYTHING YOU OWN BELONGS TO THE STATE and anything beyond party-defined essentials can & will be taken from you to pay for whatever the state provides. She can’t out-promise Bernie because she knows she can’t deliver; he will win the nomination precisely because he absolutely believes he can & will deliver free everything to everyone by soaking the rich.
Ah yes, the “Progressive” way is to take what they can and come back for more later.
We say ‘Enough’ and they call us extremists? This isn’t going to end well.
Irrational principles in matters of morality that help spread evil are:
1) one must be morally agnostic and never pronounce moral judgment.
2) everything is gray and one must never try to distinguish between good and evil and black and white.
Sanders' mistake is that he has an irrational standard of value, and so, he is not able to correctly judge what is good or evil and black and white.
It is very difficult to believe that Bernie is any threat to Herself. Oh that it were so but difficult to believe.
