A PEOPLE’S WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S

LonelyConservative: I regret to report that I have been afflicted with an immoderate case of acid indigestion brought on by  the depressing fact that the Democratic Party has wandered so far off the beaten path that Bernie Sanders, the ole’ Vermont socialist, remains a presidential contender.  Alas, the party’s base has drifted further left than Saturn’s orbit around the Sun so now we all must be subjected to Senator Sanders carrying on about topics like how there are too many breakfast cereal varieties.  This crisis is further exacerbated by the fairness factor because the top 1% has access to more bagel alternatives too.  Right-O, so let’s nationalize the cereal industry and get it all properly planned and rationalized.   A federal study should be commissioned that will take 22 years to conclude that the American people are better off with government issued cereal consisting of two flavors:  stale and staler.  No choice for you!   Unless of course you are talking abortion, in which case you can have all the choice you want.

The 20th century should be viewed as a public service announcement screaming at us to discard the notion that collectivist economics is a neat thing.  You know – remember the stuff about all those failed economies, the broken lives, the Pol Pots, the millions of dead corpses laying about and whatnot?   Hence, some of the more saner souls among us had thought that we had dropped kicked socialism into the dust bin of history.  However, Senator Sanders, who still digs the socialist thing, wants to go dumpster diving and recycle this garbage bag of rotten ideas.   more
