Bernie - One More Try

Bernie's messed up his hair and he's got those arms flailing again!

Yep!  It's Bernie!
Yep! It's Bernie!

Long before Bernie's hair turned white, he publicly heaped praise on Socialist and Communist regimes around the planet. If you watch some old videos of young Bernie speaking, it's pretty apparent that his Utopia was far from a democratic government. It's pretty well aligned with the Socialist and Communist countries both past and present. After all, a guy who says he sees bread lines as a good thing is not espousing the virtues of Capitalism.

Bernie had hoped that 8 years of Obama would certainly put America in the column of Socialist countries. But that didn't happen! So, with age creeping up on him, Bernie decided 2016 was the time for him to lead his "political revolution" and charge full speed ahead with his socialist agenda for America and drive out the evils of Capitalism. But, alas, Bernie failed.

Fast forward to 2019. Bernie's back! With the democrat politicians promoting socialist policies even beyond Bernie's wildest dreams, Bernie sees this as his chance to lead the pack in the overthrow of American Capitalism and the ushering in of a repressive socialist way of life. And, just as in 2016, he has his supporters - the misinformed, ignorant and uneducated who walk among us unaware of history and oblivious to reality.

Yes, Bernie and his cohorts will once again tell us how bad it is to work hard and strive to get ahead. They will condemn success and extol the virtues of having big government control every aspect of your life because, after all, big government knows better than you what you really need and what you should have. And your neighbor who put in the time and effort to become financially successful should really share his fortune with you so you can continue to slurp cans of Mountain Dew and play video games all day, right, Bernie?

And yes, once again Bernie will fail!
