Two sides of a Democrat Coin:

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/history/2013/07/hillary_clinton_wesleyan_commencement_speech_robert_pinsky_on_the_politician.html

Excerpt:

For some people the event [Rodham's attack] has become legendary. Many others may never have heard of it. The commencement speaker was U.S. Sen. Edward Brooke. Brooke was - now here's a period detail - a Republican moderate. Smooth, handsome, a World War II combat veteran, he was also the first African-American popularly elected to the United States Senate. He co-authored the Fair Housing Act, and he was actively pro-choice. In other words, with the eyes of 2013, Brooke can be seen as a heroic fantasy of courage and wisdom. In the eyes of 1969, he was seen as blandly complacent.

Excerpt:

http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2016/0212/How-Hillary-Clinton-lost-young-white-women

As a Wellesley College student in the late 1960s, Hillary Rodham exemplified a brash new model of the young woman activist. Her unscripted graduation speech blasting the commencement speaker - her former mentor and lone black United States senator, Edward Brooke - drew national attention.

A young radical's early apparent willingness to discard those black people with which she so, so empathizes (and shares a common dialect when the occasion is called for around election time).

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded - here and there, now and then - are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as “bad luck.”

— Robert Heinlein

I thought everyone already knew all this about this n’er do well. Good news is the editorial didn’t even scratch the surface. He’ll be having ‘lotsasplain’ to do for the first time in his life. The notion this nut could be in charge of anything is laughable.

I’m no fan of Sanders. But my problem with this article is that it skips over the time he was Mayor of Burlington. By all accounts, he did a pretty good job there. I guess he was a late bloomer.

It's extremely unfair to attack him just because he started out poor. Lots of powerful people started small. I mean, wasn't Mao Tse Tung a librarian? Oh wait...never mind.

Bernie had his electricity cut off a lot so he'd run an extension cord down to the basement.

What the heck does that mean?

This article will simply bond those who want Bernie even tighter to him. Because if you’d vote for him, then you’re basically a bum with a totally undeserved sense of entitlement

The vast majority of American leftists love their capitalist lifestyle of corporation produced goods while exalting the ideologies of poverty producing socialism. Truly hypocrites and morons enjoying the benefits they rail against. They can all go to that purgatory called Venezuela-— a more fitting reward they truly deserve.

The only thing he was good at was talking - non-stop - about socialism and how the rich were ripping everybody off.
His solution was obvious - he shoulda become a journalist. The only thing a journalists is good at is writing about bad news, which is never in short supply.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - T. Roosevelt
It is not the critic who counts - except that the critic can make a good living, and gain power, by insisting the “the man in the arena” should be dominated by critics who have no competence in the matters over which they are to have authority.

Journalists favor the exact opposite of Theodore Roosevelt’s contention; as far as they are concerned, the operative phrase is, “You did’t build that.”
