The Native Iowan

Chilly morn on the farm. Winter is coming…

My thoughts this morning are going in an interesting direction…

Bernie Saunders:

Bern’s bio gives us:
– Mayor of Burlington, Vermont (1981–1989)
– U.S. House of Representatives (1991–2007)
– U.S. Senate (2007–present)

So…

May I – ask a couple questions and make a couple comments:

Comments:
– Bern is a career politician. Holding elected office since 1981, thats over 40 years, as an elected functionary.
– Bern is a sworn Socialist.
– Bern is a registered Independent that runs under the Democrat Banner.
– Bern has gone unnoticed for most of his career, coming to prominence as The Democrat Party diminished in meaningfulness.

Questions:
– What is a Socialist? Socialism is a broad political and economic ideology that advocates for social ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange, typically by the state or government. It’s based on the idea that shared ownership leads to a more equitable and just society. 

Intentionally keeping this uncharacteristically short…

None of us ever heard about The Bern before he almost beat Hillary for there DNC nomination in 2016.

In my opinion a deal was cut then that gave Bern more of the limelight, more acceptability by the DNC elite. Bern was basically given a seat at the table.

And now, as the DNC founders, as the DNC Elite lose their credibility… enter Bernie…

Sure… “a living wage”, free medical, free education, free day care for children, free jobs with the government… All sounds great… All sounds like socialism to me.

Last question:
– Do you really think government control of everything – Socialism – is a great idea?

I am amazed how much the world has changed in my life time.

Used to be opposed to Communists… Now we pay them to fly around the country preaching to us about our bad habits.

I just listened to Bernie justify flying around the place in private jets… What a wanker!
