Bernie and FReepers agree on some things, and a corrupt shadow government is one thing we both should hate. The CIA doesn’t always have either the Constitution or the best interests of the American people at heart.
Given the veracity of this statement, I, for one, am more than happy that the majority of said institution, are shall we say, less than competent. I actually agree somewhat with Sanders' call for the abolition of the CIA, but my rationale is quite different.
Mr. Sanders, like most of his ilk, actually believe the constant recurring memes in bad left wing propaganda films of an "evil genius" CIA. The historical track record shows something completely opposite this. There have been a rather lengthy number of times the CIA has been caught flat footed by events they should have been on top of, had they been reasonably competent.
The "evil genius" of numerous liberal agitprop films, novels, and the like isn't so much a genius, as a hapless bumbling "Barney Fife" who are incapable of finding their own posteriors, given the use of both hands, a map, a compass, a seeing eye dog, and a Global Positioning System. Truly right up there with Darth Vader and the Galactic Empire...
