Bernie Sanders is Empowered by Obama’s Failures

Click here: Bernie Sanders is running against ObamaCare by promising to make it much worse. He’s running against Obama’s foreign policy by promising to make it much worse. He’s running against Obama’s educational policy by promising to make it much worse. If you hated the 100-proof left, get ready for the 200-proof left.

The left never fixes anything, it just makes it worse until there are no more alternatives. If the ghetto is a mess, then use housing mandates to export it. If ObamaCare has failed, go to Single Payer. Every leftist failure becomes an argument for its next wave of extremism.

Bernie Sanders keeps calling for a revolution. A revolution is how the left leapfrogs its existing failures to create much worse failures. Revolutions don’t fix problems. They eliminate existing solutions.

David Horowitz: Democrats Have An Impossible Agenda

Click here: David Horowitz at Minnesota University, told students, “I don’t see anything different in the agendas of the people who call themselves progressives today and the Communists I grew up with in the Stalin era. They were for income redistribution and the coddling of criminals; their sympathies were with America’s enemies – and have remained so ever since. They were for totalitarian solutions to ‘make the world a better place.’ How is this different from today’s progressives except that they don’t have the power yet to impose their utopia by force? The so-called liberal professors at this university as at the other 400 or more I have visited have purged their faculties of conservatives who are now rarer than unicorns. No true believer in democracy could make a peace with this.”
