Sen. Bernie Sanders, the improbable current front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, is lying to the American people when he tell us that “democratic socialism” simply means he wants to give the vast majority of Americans new opportunities to succeed and wants millionaires and billionaires to pay their fair share of taxes.
In fact, my extensive research on comments Sanders has made going back decades shows he has warmly embraced not just socialism but communism, and praised tyrannical dictatorships that have trashed the freedoms Americans enjoy under the Bill of Rights that are part of our Constitution.
Sanders is not just another liberal Democrat who wants to expand social programs, in the tradition of Presidents Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson. He is the most radical candidate in American history with a real shot at winning the presidential nomination of one of our two major political parties.
...
In a “special interview” in 1981 with a communist newspaper called The Militant, Sanders, who had just become mayor of Burlington, Vt., claimed there are American police departments “dominated by fascists and Nazis.”
“We’ve got cops here who are good trade unionists on all the regular trade union issues, and who also have a concern for young people,” Sanders told The Militant, in reaction to some concerns voiced by socialists who were worried that he received too much support from local police during his 1980 mayoral campaign.
In other words, Burlington had good cops – but bad cops dominated many other police departments.
The attack Sanders made on police is not only outrageous, it’s also incredibly ironic. The Nazis were, in fact, socialists who believed in collectively managing property and most of the German economy.

I am going to do my part to ensure the contest this fall for POTUS is between Trump and Sanders by Feeling the Bern on Super Tuesday!!!
I agree. Go Bernie!
Trump is right. Burny is crazy but not stupid. He has no sense of humor. He’s a cold,calculated Marxist on a mission. Destroy the U.S.. Period
——We’ve got cops here who are good trade unionists on all the regular trade union issues——
That sentence describes a few of the Freepers amongst us. I guess they are closet Bernie types deep down
There are no comedians in totalitarian or true socialist states.
In the last debate not one of these idiots questioned sanders on his comments about Cuba, not one
Bernie is a more serious version of Obama in his desire for “fundamental transformation” of this country; Obama was dangerous but quickly brought to heel by his handlers, while Bernie seems more sincere (frightening many wealthy liberals in the process).
Young libs have joined the permanent unassimilated underclass in demanding free sh!t, but I don’t believe they will outvote working and/or wealthy people (of either party) should it come down to Bernie vs. Trump.
You must say it right, it’s Cuber.
Because they believe the same as that old commie coot.
Thank you Joe Biden, because you are not a Socialist according to you......
Former Vice President Joe Biden says that Sen. Bernie Sanders’ democratic socialist label would hurt Democrats’ chances of winning control of the Senate in the general election if the Vermont independent is the party’s presidential nominee. CNN
Oh, I don’t know about that.
Bernie, at least, is fairly honest about who and what he is...
Unlike 0bama who hid that he was a muslim caliphatist as well as a socialist who hates the USA.
And I don’t think Bernie has anywhere near the bodycount of Hillary Clinton.
No, I don’t worry much about Bernie... I worry a LOT more about the braindead people who would vote for him, knowing what he is, and who may go on a murderous rampage if he has the nomination taken away from him agin
“...Because they believe the same as that old commie coot....”
Exactly. They have the same long-term agenda and goals as Bernie but they try to hide it to deceptively fool the unwashed masses. Bernie has the guts to just come out and say what he believes and his agenda is.
Bernie is actually the very face & voice of the RAT communist party in America today. They are ALL the same. There is no such thing as a “moderate democrat”. They are looonnng gone.
Never vote for a Communist under any situation. Its like playing with a gun.
Open socialist Sanders is the second most dangerous major party presidential contender in US history . . . behind Manchurian candidate and closet socialist Barack Hussein. I pray that patriotic Americans will occupy our White House for long enough to completely erase the structural damage inflicted on our government by the eight terrible years under the usurper, and more important to erase the moral damage done to young Americans by that evil role model.
You got that right. The dems like to deride the “old, unwashed, un-enlightened and most likely racist, ignorant uncle” that is seen at holiday dinners.They caution us, lest we be seduced, to ignore or challenge the blunt truths this uncle speaks. He is the “Right Wing”, “Reactionary Right”, that keeps us from the blessings of socialism/communism.
Bernie, that stinky old commie, speaks truth at times and the same people don’t want us to listen.
Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur
“Never vote for a Communist under any situation. Its like playing with a gun.”
That’s just the way I believe. Stupid people don’t need encouragement to do something stupid.
“I worry a LOT more about the braindead people who... may go on a murderous rampage...”
Why worry? Are they in the NRA?
If your dog had rabies, wouldn’t you want to know about it?
I got my popcorn popper ready and my 300 blackout scope well calibrated.
