Has Bernie Sanders ever lavished the kind of praise on the United States that he has heaped on the old regime of the Soviet Union, the dictators of Venezuela, or the Communist masters of Cuba? Has he ever praised the United States, period? When it comes to the United States versus its enemies, the guy is on the other side. It’s probably past time to take Sanders seriously and take a look at the kind of foreign policy he is most likely to pursue. It is certainly past time to get a clue about the deep meaning of Bernie Sanders.
AEI’s Marc Thiessen and Danielle Pletka take up the subject of a Sanders foreign policy in their latest What the Hell is Going On? podcast (embedded below). They title this episode “WTH is going on with Bernie Sanders? What having a democratic socialist as president would mean for American leadership abroad” and provide this introduction:
After visiting Moscow in 1988, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders praised the Soviet system and established a sister city relationship with his hometown of Burlington, Vermont. Throughout his time in office, Sanders regularly hobnobbed with and supported Communist, anti-American and anti-Israel leaders.

Yeah Bernie, the subway fare is cheap compared to us but they’re making $50/mo and those are doctors. Seven cents is like seven dollars to them.
I suppose, tho, that it was America's fault. You have to wonder how much Bernie would have made as a lazy mooch if he had been forced to live there. What is the going rate for Loud Mouth Crazy in the People's Republic?
Sanders is the Democrat party with the mask removed.
Blackadder:
Leave me alone, Baldrick. If I wanted to talk to a vegetable, I’d have bought one at the market! God, I’m wasted here. It’s no life for a man of noble blood, being servant to a master with the intellect of a jugged walrus and all the social graces of a potty!
Baldrick:
I’m wasted too. I’ve been thinking of bettering myself.
Blackadder:
Oh really, how?
Baldrick:
I applied for the job of village idiot of Kensington.
Blackadder:
Oh. Get anywhere?
Baldrick:
I got down to the last two, but I failed the final interview.
Blackadder:
Oh, what went wrong?
Baldrick:
I turned up. The other bloke was such an idiot, he forgot to.
Blackadder:
Yes, I’m afraid my ambitions stretch slightly further than professional idiocy in West London! I want to be remembered when I’m dead. I want books written about me. I want songs sung about me. And then, hundreds of years from now, I want episodes of my life to be played out weekly at half past nine by some great heroic actor of the age.
Baldrick:
Yeah, and I could be played by some tiny tit in a beard.
Blackadder:
Quite.
Aside: the DNC has a healthy casting call for national idiot
Will this finally split the Democrat Party? The Progressive wing could desert if Sanders isn’t the nominee and they could be kicked out if he is.
Uncle Joe would’ve put one in the back of Bourgeois Bernie’s head and kicked him into a shallow grave. Karl HATED Bourgeois Socialists. He would’ve spit on him.
Your position papers on the “struggle” are inspirational, Bern. Almost 20 years as a parasitic fraud on the body politic.

And most of the idiots were in Nevada this weekend for an idiots’ convention.
And of course Bernie was taking the Soviets at their word that a ruble was worth $1.40. Laughable.
