It was the worst thing one Democrat could call another, particularly a woman, and especially a woman of color. Old white man Bernie Sanders went below the belt this week when he dropped the “C” word on Native American Elizabeth Warren. The Vermont socialist called younger squaw a “capitalist.”
There was a time, believe it or not, when this would not be controversial. But that day is done. The Democratic Party has moved so far to the left they make the Chinese government seem open to new ideas. You’d never know it if you learned about politics from the legacy media.
Democrats love to say things like, “Ronald Reagan wouldn’t be conservative enough for the modern Republican Party.” They say this in an attempt to make the point that the Republican Party has “moved so far to the right,” but they don’t really give any examples. President Reagan supported tax cuts, the modern Republican Party supports tax cuts. President Reagan was pro-life, the GOP is pro-life. President Reagan worked to strengthen the military, so do Republicans today.
Maybe there are a few things on the fringe where the current incarnation of the party is more conservative today than it was in the 1980s, but not much springs to mind. The ideals of individual liberty and personal responsibility don’t change over time, though the matching of deeds with the words and the effort to implement them has.
Still, the idea that the Republican Party has shifted so far to the right as to be unrecognizable and unwelcoming to its hero, were he alive today, is simply a lie. As is the case in all things, it is the Democratic Party that is guilty of what it accuses others of.
To the left, the Republican Party looks like it has shifted to the right because the relative distance between the two parties has grown so dramatically, not because the Republicans have moved, but because they’ve gone over the edge.
Democrats still sing the praises of John F. Kennedy, evoking all the good sentiments the decades-long public relations campaign have created about the murdered president. But JFK not only couldn’t win the Democratic nomination in 2020, he wouldn’t be allowed to speak at the Democratic National Convention.
Putting aside his obvious personal flaws that, in the era of #MeToo, would have him run out of politics, President Kennedy was relentlessly pro-American and anti-communist. He cut taxes to spur the economy. He was *gasp* a capitalist.
Pointing out the socialistic tendencies of Democrats used to be met with angry denials. Just a few years ago the label was an albatross they’d deny to their dying breath, now it’s a badge of honor.
Under President Bill Clinton, not all that long ago, the Democratic Leadership Council held sway over the party. The DLC was a fiscally conservative group of moderate Democrats who’d break with the liberal wing of the party and work with Republicans. It went out of business in 2011. With it went any semblance of moderation on the left.
You name it, the Democratic Party is promising it, and for “free.” Succeed and the party will label you the problem. Risk everything and create a business, Democrats have a plan to punish you.
The difference between places like Cuba and Venezuela and the platform of the new Democratic Party is Democrats haven’t yet had the ability to implement the policies.
No one is poor because someone else is rich. But to hear the Democratic field tell it, the rich are hoarding wealth at the expense of everyone else. Think what you will of someone like Bill Gates, but his wealth was created by him, from nothing. Microsoft created Windows and people bought it. That made the company worth a fortune. If it hadn’t been created, the billions the company is worth wouldn’t be in people’s pockets, it simply wouldn’t exist.
Democrats know this, or should; they simply don’t care. And they’re counting on the jealousy they’ve cultivated in society to prevent their voters from ever coming to that realization. Given the embrace of the “socialist” label by so many, particularly young Democratic voters, it’s working well.
When calling someone a capitalist is an insult, it’s a symptom of a bigger problem. This ain’t your parents' Democratic Party, comrade.
And, if history tells us anything, RAT voters are stupid enough to manage to put one of these, or someone like them, into office someday. And then we’re in for a real education. Like, how many loop de loops does one make on a roller coaster before he pukes?
At first, I thought the c-word was Cherokee
Bernie is on a roll, its life or death for him now. Warren has co-opted Bernie’s policies.America neither wants nor needs any of what they offer.
Cunahauntus.
The Warren name just keeps on evolving. She sure as hell haunts Bernie.
The circular firing squad proceeds apace.
The only one left will likely be Hawaiian State Rep. Tulsi Gabbard She is the only patriot among this Dem field of fools who is even remotely electable.
Bernie’s been bought off again. This time his job is to make Pocahonky look like a ‘moderate’.
Funny how dems never hesitate to use vulgar verbiage on such a consistent basis.The “c” word is the reigning king of vulgar. It’s all Bernie seeing as how he agrees with everything she wants to do.
It’s like when you’re 8 and say “you’re stupid”. Why do you say that? I don’t know. You’re just stupid, that’s all.
Bernie’s got a matzo ball stuck in his artery and THE three stooges led by AOC know this, watch for Bernie’s VP. Like MONOPLY HE OR SHE WILL GET THE PASS GO AND COLLECT CARD to the presidency
He did this because of his hatred of women and of all native americans.
I thought it was "Corrupt" but I digress...

**********************************
I thought it was Choctaw.
“Cherokee?”
I thought it was going to be “Chief.”
The only one left will likely be Hawaiian State Rep. Tulsi Gabbard She is the only patriot among this Dem field of fools who is even remotely electable.

She probably would be Trump’s toughest opponent, but she’s too normal for today’s Leftists who control the Dem party.
Elizabeth is definitely a Comanche.
The C word?
If you live in this country you are part of and support or benefit from capitalism.
And as my dirty mind opened up this article to read about the Sanders diatribe in which he directed the c-word towards Liarrhea Liz, I mistakenly believed the figurehead of the National Socialist Workers’ Party had woke from his shafting by the DNC and quite possibly was sounding off like he had a pair.
The only C-word that I mistakenly assumed was being referred to is the common and vulgar word for female genitalia. Which in this particular case, would also be a correct usage of the vulgar term.
“...she’s too normal for today’s Leftists who control the Dem party.”
Tulsi Gabbard threatens the Military-Industrial Complex’s gravy train, just like Bernie Sanders did. The rest of the Democrat candidates will cheerfully keep sending American boys to die in pointless undeclared wars to keep the money rolling in.
This from the man who owns three luxury homes.
Bernie holds the only position possible for an incompetent such as he: congress.
He has never had a real job and never will.
And no, congress is no longer a real job.
Commie?
Warren is naïve. The “Progressives” do not understand there are consequences to their actions.
Taxing wealth is like increased interest rates on assets. Values fall.
Said the pro-Chavez, pro-Castro, COMMUNIST!
