The Bern Identity
- Thread starter nitro
- Start date
Correct me if im wrong here, but werent the Scotts under William Wallace trying to escape an opressive government who wouldnt give them the chance to control their own Lands? Werent they fighting against an oppressive government that was taxing the shit out of them with no representation?
Seems to me that William Wallace was the antithesis to big government
They werent out there demanding the government paid for their food, and all their living expenses, like the average Bernie Sanders voter, they were out there fighting for the freedom to make their own way in life, free from government stealing everything they earned. I:ts literally the polar opposite of Bernie Sanders.
Its pretty :Ironic you compare the two, these people would have laid down their life to be free from government.
(Regardless Braveheart was one of the best movies of all time, and this was probably the best scene, good choice.)

If the Bern wins IL, where Hilary Clinton has a lead measured in parsecs, O M G.
Hilary was born in IL. That should not stop us Illinoisans from doing the right thing.
ABC News reports that dozens of the democratic party superdelegates are registered lobbyists.
Add that up with the fact that superdelegates make up almost thirty percent of the magic number needed to secure nomination, and democrats are stuck with a waiting to be indicted nominee. Maybe they'll get lucky and it'll be announced that the crimes don't rise to the level of indictment. Prosecutorial discretion is the term I believe they use to let criminal democrats go free.

You keep inferring that Sanders is simply going to cut up and existing pie differently. That is not the case. He is proposing NEW taxes.What?
So it is logical to spend $600B dollars a year on war machines, trillions of dollars bailing out banks with taxpayer money, trillions subsidizing the oil industry, billions more on bailing out the auto sector, but it's not logical to reroute some fraction of that on extending taxpayer paid Education and Universal Health Care?
Amigo, it has nothing to do with logic. It has to do with who has more friends in Washington. If decisions on how to spend taxpayer money was based on logic, it would have been done long ago, as it has on scores of countries around the world.
