BURLINGTON, Vt. — When he came to Vermont in the late 1960s to help plan the upending of the old social order, the future presidential candidate Bernie Sanders brought with him the belief that the United States was starkly divided into two groups: the establishment and the revolutionaries. He was a revolutionary.
“The Revolution Is Life Versus Death,” in fact, was the title of an article he wrote for The Vermont Freeman, an alternative, authority-challenging newspaper published for a few years back then. The piece began with an apocalyptically alarmist account of the unbearable horror of having an office job in New York City, of being among “the mass of hot dazed humanity heading uptown for the 9-5,” sentenced to endless days of “moron work, monotonous work.”
“The years come and go,” Mr. Sanders wrote, in all apparent seriousness. “Suicide, nervous breakdown, cancer, sexual deadness, heart attack, alcoholism, senility at 50. Slow death, fast death. DEATH.”

The New York Times is doing a hit piece for Hillary.
Ho Hum
He’s the kind of guy who turns his back on the flag during
the pledge of allegiance at a high school basket ball game.
“unbearable horror of having an office job in New York City”
Imagine if Sen. Sanders had been hired, just out of high school, and given a 16 lb. double jack, a scaling bar and a hook and sent underground to make ore flow by making small rocks out of big rocks. I was damn glad to get the job myself. I also was drafted into the Army. Too bad the hippies like Bernie never had a taste of the real life before they became revolutionary.
Bernie’s a has-been hipster who spent his life in an insular, homogeneous, backwater echo-chamber. He’d crumple on the world stage if it were ever made available to him.
“Bernie Sanders’s Revolutionary Roots Were Nurtured in ’60s Vermont”
The NY Slimes, as always slanting the news.....the bum is an out and out commie.
No negative adjectives for this Socialist.
Bernie is far more qualified than Hillary, and a lot more honest. The bad, is he graduated from the same HS as Chuck Schumer and Ruth Bader Ginzberg, but that school also gave us Norm Coleman who lost to Frankel, and Judge Judy. (and me! Taadaaah) LOL
Bernie ended up doing moron work after all. And he and his ilk ruined Vermont in the process.
