Bernie Sanders's Rise is Like Death Knocking on America's Door
American Thinker.com ^ | February 14, 2020 | John Eidson

When Barack Obama vowed five days before he was first elected to fundamentally transform the nation he soon would lead, few who voted for him thought to ask themselves, Transform it into what? America always needs improving, but is it such a sorry place that it must be fundamentally transformed? Apparently so, according to Obama. And that goes double for the Democrat who would follow him, post-President Trump, Bernie Sanders. To fundamentally transform a nation means to bring about profound changes to its principles, values and institutions. In the case of America, that means radically transforming the economic and governing systems that made it the greatest nation the world has ever known.

Bernie Sanders is leading Democratic polls, and in this regard, he's assuming the mantle of Obama, like death again knocking at America's door.

Which is why the Obama presidency should be re-examined. A long trail of circumstantial evidence indicated that Obama was intent on upending our two-party constitutional democracy in favor of single-party socialist rule. That's not different from what Sandes openly espouses. If not for a corrupt mainstream media, Obama would never have succeeded in hiding his socialist ideology. Dating to his childhood, he has been influenced by a long trail of hardcore socialists, including his parents and the revolutionary communists listed below.

Frank Marshall Davis

A 20th century African-American journalist and labor activist, Davis was an unapologetic communist who loathed his country and its capitalist system. The subject of a 600-page FBI file, Davis was a card-carrying, pro-Soviet member of the Communist Party USA. His loyalty to communism ran so deep that he was placed on the FBI Security Index, meaning he was a prime suspect for treason had the U.S. gone to war with the Soviet Union.

Obama said he was going to fundamentally transform this country.

Thankfully for us he did not succeed.

Lesson Learned: Do NOT choose a lazy, dope-smoking narcissist to be the vanguard of your revolution.

They won’t make the same mistake twice.

Just look at those who are in the run for office the party will not stop until they have a single-party socialist rule.

Stalin’s grin is so big his ear lobes are wet.

Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can’t shoot them any more
That long black cloud is coming down
I’m feelin’ like I’m knocking on Heaven’s door

Knock, knock, knocking on Heaven’s door
Knock, knock, knocking on Heaven’s door

Yeah, from licking his chops too, because he knows that the US is about to fall, thanks to Obama. People ignored how leftist Obama’s regime was....also, while Trump exercising normal executive powers is apparently not permitted, Obama went hog-wild and simply issued executive orders for everything.

Thus setting the pattern for Venezuela II.

“death knocking”

The UK ran for decades with top tax rates like 82% on upper middle class incomes and something very similar to “Medicare for All”.

In this election, empty promises of hope and change run against economic reality.

“Obama was intent on upending our two-party constitutional democracy in favor of single-party socialist rule”

Obama is among the laziest of his fellow travelers.

Most international socialists are every bit as determined to grab and hold power as National Socialists.

Even expect Chinese Uyghur-style reeducation camps to be created here.

And don’t dare say “pig in a wig” in 2030’s America.

“reality”

The reality is that the rich may have tens of trillions of dollars of stock according to financial journals but nobody else on the planet has the money or will to buy a large percentage of that typically overpriced and risky stock.

Don't worry, Bernie might make it for a few months and he's picking a solid VP, with tons of experience, I hear he's 104 years old.

I’m doing quite well in the Trump economy and so are millions of other people... But go and hide in your foxhole and pretend that the man owns everything.

When Barack Obama vowed five days before he was first elected to fundamentally transform the nation he soon would lead, few who voted for him thought to ask themselves, Transform it into what?

That statement, along with his earlier statement that The Constitution is a document of "negative rights because it limits what the government can do" are the TWO reasons I voted against Obama.

Obama would not be able to become the nominee in today's climate. And the left's "cancel culture" would have chased Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr" out of the public square for his "I Have a Dream" speech!

Bernie really is a communist, someone who loved the USSR enough to honeymoon in Moscow.
