Bernie Sanders's 12-Point Socialist Plan for America

Every committed revolutionary needs a plan. Karl Marx had one, and so did Joseph Stalin and Mao Zedong. Add to that group socialist senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont, who is considering running for president (as a Democrat) and has already announced a 12-point plan at the Huffington Post. He writes:

As Vermont's senator, here are 12 initiatives that I will be fighting for which can restore America's middle class.

Moron weekend at bernie's possible run. Luckily, there's no mention of everybody being entitled to a gallon of ben and jerry's weekly. Run bernie, run. We'll see your run and raise you a jeb bush. (Nooooooooooo!) The ever in touch with reality gop-e strikes again. NOT! Not sure who "they" polled but jeb sure doesn't top my list.

As moonbat Communist as Sanders is, he is actually the “Conservative” Senator from Vermont. Leahy is to his left.

If I had photoshop, I would put his head on a 12 point buck hanging on the wall.

It is extremely unfortunate for America that Bernie’s forefathers happened to find their way here, however he does provide a contrast between what could be to what should be.

I don’t think socialism flies even with the Democratic moonbat base.

They love Bernie Sanders but they’re still realistic enough to know you can’t call yourself a “socialist” outside VT and win a national election.

And the Democrats lost the past election running on many of the same things Sanders wants to do as President.

Saunders is not going to get a nomination from a major party and so, any presidential ambitions he might harbor are meaningless. The only thing he can do is attract votes that would normally go to the Democrats. Splitting that vote would be a happy outcome.

Our biggest problem is the GOPE’s continuing lurch to the Left.

The problem with liberals is not just that they are mentally ill and power-crazed, it is also that they sincerely think that their own sh*t doesn’t stink.

...and to the 12 points the two words that come to mind most often reviewing each point is SCAM and DECEPTION.

The difference between ‘ol Bernie and Hussein Obummer, you ask?

‘ol Bernie is willing to say what he believes; whereas, Hussein tip toes around it!

REDISTRIBUTION!

If it was so good, why didn’t the Democrats win in November?

Point is if Sanders with his anti-job growth, high tax and green wacko platform was viable, the Democrats should have added to their numbers in Congress.

In reality that has no appeal in large parts of the country especially among blue collar working class whites whose jobs Sanders would pencil out in the name of environmental purity.

The stark reality is ignoring what led to massive Democratic losses among white voters, especially white men - isn’t likely to turn Democratic fortunes around by 2016. Yet, that is exactly what Sanders is intent on doing. Its bizarre.

It's the same old communist mantra.
How many times have these things been tried already? Too many.
How many times did it work in the past? Zero.
What's the chance of any of it working this time? Zero.

restore America's middle class.

It's already been done by Reagan.

1) cut taxes
2) cut regulations
3) control welfare state spending
4) control inflation by controlling the increase in the money supply

“We need legislation which makes it clear that when a majority of workers sign cards in support of a union, they can form a union.”

So “workers” can be coerced into joining unions without having to put up with the inconvenience of an election with a secret ballot.

Much of Bernie's 12 points are also part of Obama’s “hope and change” plan. Obama was more subtle in his approach is all.

Sanders will soon turn 75, according to the article. Ezekiel Emanuel thinks he should expire. That’s an issue those two will need work out between them.

Au contraire. Socialism has “flown” with the Democrat base ever since they purged the Cleveland wing in 1896.

Somebody needs to tell this dumbass, Barnie, that Socialism doesn’t have a middle class. You are either a party elitist or one of the “unwashed masses”. There aren’t any other options.
