A reader remarks on the similarity of the campaign tactics of Secretary of State Clinton and Senator Sanders:
Because she was a piece of crap liar and he was a socialist…. its time to PURGE through any means necessary the DNC and bring back the old ways instead of destroying the country!
I must thank my reader for reminding me, however inadvertently, that I really should be sending a Thank You note to the Republican Party. As I’ve noted before, the Republicans, through their relentless, and possibly unethical, investigations of Secretary Clinton have effectively and thoroughly cleared her of any wrong-doing, and confirmed that a vote for her was a vote for an ethically clean candidate, which is far more than can be said for our current President.
I do note my reader appears to be slightly liverish, as he has just endorsed violence in pursuit of his political goals. As most of us know, the old ways did not include violence between the political Parties of the United States. There was certainly other forms of violence, usually racist or xenophobic in nature, usually led by benighted racists and implemented by Americans who had foresaken sacred American traditions. But violence was neither endorsed nor tacitly accepted.
And whether or not Sanders is a socialist, it’s worth noting the relative placidity and prosperity enjoyed by certain Scandinavian countries who’ve carefully adopted certain socialist policies. Knee-jerk hostility towards socialism seems unwise, although of course the turgid nature of Great Britain during its socialist period is a warning that socialism is not a panacea, either.
