Awesome. This generation’s George McGovern, another darling of the ultra-libs, which describes the majority of the Dimocrats these days.
I would gladly vote for someone like George McGovern.
McGovern was at least somewhat skeptical of unions.
During World War II, he flew 35 combat missions as a B-24 bomber pilot in Europe, earning the Distinguished Flying Cross.
After leaving Congress, McGovern bought a Connecticut inn. He failed to make it work. He wrote in The Wall Street Journal, “In retrospect, I wish I had known more about the hazards and difficulties of such a business ... I also wish that during the years I was in public office, I had had this firsthand experience about the difficulties business people face every day.”
In a couple of April 1972 speeches, he seemed to second Barry Goldwater’s 1968 remark to aide Karl Hess that “When the histories are written, I’ll bet that the Old Right and the New Left are put down as having a lot in common and that the people in the middle will be the enemy.”
“[M]ost Americans see the establishment center as an empty, decaying void that commands neither their confidence nor their love,” McGovern asserted a campaign speech. “It is the establishment center that has led us into the stupidest and cruelest war in all history. That war is a moral and political disaster—a terrible cancer eating away the soul of the nation. … It was not the American worker who designed the Vietnam war or our military machine. It was the establishment wise men, the academicians of the center. As Walter Lippmann once observed, ‘There is nothing worse than a belligerent professor.’”
Now if only Hillary will become this generation’s Muskie.
There are no Ultra-Libs. When they reach that point in their ideological position, they have become hardcore Marxists, and for some in Congress, Communists (as in covert members but open supporters of the Communist Party USA and its fronts - Conyers, Barbara Lee, Danny Davis- or supporters of the larger Marxist “Democratic Socialists of America” (much of the Progressive Congressional Caucus).
Sanders is a Marxist-lite but perhaps the most honest of the reds in politics. Hillary is a covert Marxist and the greatest liar of them all, except for Comrade Iman Obama (not only is he two-faced, but he is of two-ideologies, but all targeting America for destruction).
White the Rats have run to the far left, they still enjoy the support of millions of people who really have no clue who they are.
