"The road to hell is paved with good intentions," goes the line so often used to describe hare-brained liberal schemes. That vintage phrase captures perfectly the quagmire in which Bernie and Jane Sanders find themselves rapidly sinking in the saga of Burlington College. But the tale provides so much more than affirming that age-old aphorism. It offers a microcosmic view into the mind and methodology of liberal policymakers everywhere.
In short, the scheme concocted by the former Democratic Socialist presidential candidate's wife, Jane Sanders, when she was president of Burlington College serves up everything we've come to expect of modern Democrats: delusional visions of glorious benefits to be realized by the masses if we follow their screwball ideas; a shady real estate deal; phony and fraudulent claims used as the basis for getting other people to part with their money; alleged pressure from a powerful Democratic politician on a government-regulated institution to go along with their idea, or else; and, of course, no modern Democratic scandal is complete without a computer server potentially figuring in – in this case, a stolen one. The only thing missing is the sex. But the investigation is still young.

FBI's become too political, FDIC remains independent.
Look. Anyone who can mold their conscience to acquiesce to the wholesale killing of pre born human life, is capable of any malfeasance. Learn to never trust a liberal on any matter of importance.
Some of this came out during the election - online, of course, nowhere in the media.
Imagine if it were Melania Trump: It would have been national media news 24/7 in (yet another) effort to bring Trump down.
The media covered this all up during the election.
Liberals are self-righteous people who find it easy to justify anything they want to do. Self aggrandizement is often a motivation for their “good works”.
Forgot the big one: “the ends justify the means” when it’s a crackpot liberal idea.
Hey, Bernie... Are you feeling the burn yet?
The media covered this all up during the election.

MSM = Mendacious State Media.
Let’s say your neighbor Fred says to you that he’ll pay your college tuition if you give him a good reference for a job.
You know Fred is a deadbeat thief and doesn’t have any money. You know he will steal from that job.
But, he is promising to give you some money.
Should you care where he gets the money from?
I mean, it’s to help you.
And you’re not really stealing it. He is.
Besides, everyone has been against you and life hasn’t been fair to you.
Do you help Fred get that job?
That’s how the Democrat Party works.
“Help me get that job and I’ll steal some money for you. I’ll just take a little for myself, too.”

What I have noticed is that liberals, who are willing prisoners of their emotions, construct this façade of someone to whom they emotionally tie to. Once that happens their emotional allegiance become ironclad and impenetrable of any sense of reason or rationality. Truth itself is not capable of persuading liberals once they have set their emotional heart on someone.
We saw this happen with Bill Clinton. We saw this happen with Obama. We saw this, almost irrationally, with Sanders. Bernie Sanders is a loon, and old hippie loon with crackpot ideas and yet the left emotionally invested heavily in him.
As further proof that liberals are shackled to their emotions to the point of irrationality, I would posit that liberals never emotionally attached to Hillary. They had their heart with Obama and then Bernie was able to capture their emotions and this left Hillary in the friend zone from which she never recovered.
Liberals are driven, guided, and maintained by their emotions. They have little use for reason or critical thought. They are carried about life through their emotions with all decisions being made on that basis.
Filthy capitalist dollars, Bernie?
I thought you socialists never touch the stuff!
Hah! just liberals being liberals Ends and means and all that.
Hah! just liberals being liberals Ends and means and all that.
Excellent construction.
Bernie kissed Hillary’s ass looking for pardons that will never come.
Lock him up!
