THE UNBEARABLE LIGHTNESS OF BERNIE
Powerline ^ | 14 Apr 2022 | John Hinderaker

Posted on 04/16/2022 6:28:28 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Bernie Sanders is the founder of the Progressive Caucus and most popular figure in the Democrat Party. He is also the Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, and therefore a key player in determining how Washington decides to spend taxpayers’ dollars. Bernie is also a lifetime fan of Communist regimes and apologist for their totalitarian practices – and atrocities. He supported Iran’s Islamo-fascist regime in 1979 when it made hostages of 52 American diplomats and embassy workers, held them for 444 days, and chanted “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” – repeating the threats through time.

As an American politician for more than five decades, Bernie’s chief passion has been hatred of billionaires and of wealth in general, and of the economic system that makes wealth possible. He pursues this passion without a scintilla of self-awareness, ignoring the fact that he, himself, is worth $3 million. This personal wealth allows him to own three houses, while the average person is lucky to own one. While presenting himself as a champion of the working classes, and opponent of million- dollar incomes, he has no apparent intention of redistributing his own wealth to less fortunate individuals who may need it more than he does.

Without the slightest sense of irony, Bernie boasts that his first priority as a politician is to make socialist theft the law of the land, using the power of the state to force the most successful people to fork over their earnings and allow him as budget chairman to spend them. As his 2020 presidential campaign spokesman embellished this social injustice: “The record shows that from the very beginning, Bernie anticipated and worked to combat the rise of a billionaire ruling class and the exploding power of Wall Street and multinational corporations.”

...envy and resentment, which are the key passions of the progressive mind. It also leads directly to an inability to appreciate the insurmountable obstacles to their utopian schemes.

That's progressivism in a nutshell.

The only positive thing I can say about Comrade Bernie is that he actually believes the BS that he spouts’

Bernie’s $1 million limit will be about enough money to buy a loaf of bread after Biden’s inflation.

Bernie Sanders is a Communist through and through.

He fronts for the most malignant , murderous, anti-human political entity ever created. Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, these are this bastards heroes.

We’re it up to me that old Communist dirt bag would be strung up with piano wire from a meat hook.

Bernie isn’t a democrat and besides, I thought Romney was the most popular figure in the RAT party...
