“With all due respect to Senator Sanders, I don’t think the revolution is going to come, and I don’t think the Congress is going to pay for all this.” Jim Webb
That quote about sums up the plans of every other candidate on the stage at that "debate."

    I agree completely. As with any bully, polite discussion is ineffective. Having a system that prevents the formation of those deposits is the best approach and capitalism is the only such system. Failing that, periodic physical elimination of this elitist scum seems to keep the infestation under control, but rarely practiced in the modern world. I think this is what Jefferson had in mind when he talked about the tree of liberty.

    Hello term2,
    Everyone but Clinton on that stage were little more than window dressing. The staging, questions, lack of follow up, generalities and pandering... all Kabuki Theater at its finest.

    Hello strugatsky,
    I am most offended by the second camp. If they are intelligent enough to know what they are doing, then they know they are doing wrong to those of us who also know. We who are not sub-humans, but adversely impacted need to put them in their place. Tar and feathers is too good for them.
    Respectfully,
    O.A.

    I think Sanders won actually. He had the purity of socialism. Hillary is just as socialist, but hems and haws to make it seem like she is just progressive and not socialist.

    Obama really wanted medicare for everyone, but he thought he couldnt get it done with the insurance companies opposing him. But the insurance companies should have realized what he was up to, and how the exchanges wont work (look at how high the premiums have gone since obamacare)

    of course I am agreeing. Just deducting what is left from what isn't anymore. Consider also we have our very own schutz staffel only thing left is the Baraks on the uniform collars.

    Hello bsmith51,
    That was a good speech. People should not be embarrassed for their success. It is that success that is paying for the existence of the detractors. That particular point should be shouted from the rooftops.
    Respectfully,
    O.A.

    I suppose corruption is not corruption to someone who views himself as a more than equal elite better like hypocritical carbon trail Al Gore, who also lives in a huge to heat house, for example.

    Hi, Rich:
    There must be a fairly large number of brainless people populating the voter rolls. Many who are members of the brainless community are part of institutionalized liberalism, who follow its irrational precepts because of family history, traditional thinking, and a hope for help via free stuff or services. Each and every idea put forth at the "debate" were either a giveaway without a way to fund it, or a complaint to fix something that really needs no fixing.

    I divide the socialists into two camps, the first are the minions who have the social/political development of a teenager - facts don't matter when they want something and someone will provide, while the responsibilities are erased by pressing the reset button. Amazingly, these people could be intelligent in other fields, but their social development for some reason became retarded. The other type are the evil doers - they are intelligent and fully cognizant of the evil that they create, but it is irrelevant to them, as long as they get what they want through the exploitation of the minions. In their minds, their evil is not so evil because the minions are under-developed sub humans, so hurting them is not unlike hurting an ameba. Perhaps they are right, for in the face of all the evidence, the minions fail to recognize reality and continue to pray to the Party elites. Amazing, isn't it?

    I dont think Sanders is serious about being president. He stuck up for Hillary of all things, when he should have pounded on her for her lack of accomplishments in pretty much any job she has had, her slinking aorund not only with emails but in her other dealings as well. He didnt do any of that, so I think he is "running" to promote socialist programs that she will put through. Its disgusting and sickening. The LAST president I want is Hillary, period. I would vote for Sanders himself if that was the only choice.

    Good point. It's spelled C O R R U P T I O N.
    But Bama boy can think of a cousin and his wife who have not grown brains politically speaking up in Massachusetts.
    They are as old as I am, my cousin was a musician in a large orchestra and and I recall them mentioning in a letter how happy they were about Obamacare coming down the pike.
    Libtards support the corrupt. . .

    I agree. But I think we have to look at the "big picture" for a candidate. On the national level, who is closest to Objectivist ideas? None that I see. I'd hate to lose the race over the planned parenthood issue.

    You don't have to download it (I seldom risk downloading anything), just click the URL and watch. Or is there something I'm missing?

    Please understand that i am mostly quoting Ayn Rand. She said that Fascism will come to the usa cloaked as Socialism. In the event you do not think we are going in that direction I suggest you look at the largest of companies in the usa and note that all of the ceo's are on tender hooks trying not to displease some government employee from the president down the chain of command.

    That is twice in two week USMC and names like left wing fascist and Bernie Sanders have been association. Anyone checked their discharge papers. Maybe it says ex Marine instead of former Marine.

    At the very least the 18 to 1 kill ratio of the Democrats of US Service personnel in Democrat wars should get through even to those who recite the Marine Prayer "Please God Don't Turn My head into a JAR!"

    Socialism is a more a socio-political culture than anything else. Fascism is a way of operating and is applied to any group including religious that believes in control by any and all means necessary. Be it failed culture with a quicksand mentalty Pay attention. Capitalism is an economic method Every system claiming to be socialism is supported one of two or both of the following capitalism or totalitarian confiscation of wealth.

    You forgot 'with a one party system of government.)

    What we aren't is a small d democratically chosen large R Republic.

    I knew this of the Democrats in the Election of 1972. Why else would they elect a man like George S. McGovern?
