Raising your children with Bernie Sanders’ values would ruin them
Las Vegas Review-Journal ^ | March 1, 2020 | Victor Joecks

To understand why Bernie Sanders’ ideas are immoral, imagine if parents raised their child based on his principles.

One of the hardest things to teach children is that wanting something doesn’t give them the right to take it. Selfishness comes naturally, after all. As a father of two toddlers, I know this firsthand. My older toddler’s favorite toy is whatever his younger brother is playing with. My wife and I have to correct and discipline him over this. We want him to learn that it’s wrong to take things that don’t belong to you.

That’s very different than Sanders’ view of private property. Sanders promises his supporters that he can give them the things they want — college loan forgiveness, housing and universal child care — by taking money from the wealthy.

Imagine how you’d feel if you met a family at the park whose parents raised their son with Sanders’ values. Those parents tell their son to push another kid off the swing set when he wants a turn. They urge their child to take another boy’s bag of chips when he wants a snack. You’d be furious and correctly view those parents with disdain for raising their son to be a bully.

Have to teach your kids to say “please don’t shoot my parents” in as many languages as possible.

That has already been done and that's why we have this rearing it's head as they reach voting age.

Well, he has no talent, no intelligence has NEVER had a real job in his life (no, being a senator is NOT a real job - as is demonstrated by the fact that this cretin is a senator).

Given all the indicators of a complete loser, the dork is a multi millionaire. So perhaps we should reconsider that spouting idiocies and being a complete lazy dumb-*ss does pay off.

Gropin’ Joe’s or Mini-Mike’s wouldn’t be any better.

Value your children? Don’t raise them to be Donks.

Socialists want everything you have EXCEPT your job.

They best look at govt. schooling to see why young people are embracing Bernie.

They’ve already been raised with those values.
That’s why he’s winning primaries.

Horse out barn door.

LOL! This guy is really a dad. You only discover that little truth above if you ARE a dad or mom.

Bernie would “ruin” your children? if you know your Bibles its far worse, the slogan “get the burn” takes on a new meaning.

If you send your children to public school you have no complaint.
