quote:

You have heard it said that this is an age of moral crisis. You have said it yourself, half in fear, half in hope that the words had no meaning. You have cried that man’s sins are destroying the world and you have cursed human nature for its unwillingness to practice the virtues you demanded. Since virtue, to you, consists of sacrifice, you have demanded more sacrifices at every successive disaster. In the name of a return to morality, you have sacrificed all those evils which you held as the cause of your plight. You have sacrificed justice to mercy. You have sacrificed independence to unity. You have sacrificed reason to faith. You have sacrificed wealth to need. You have sacrificed self-esteem to self-denial. You have sacrificed happiness to duty.
You have destroyed all that which you held to be evil and achieved all that which you held to be good. Why, then, do you shrink in horror from the sight of the world around you? That world is not the product of your sins, it is the product and the image of your virtues. It is your moral ideal brought into reality in its full and final perfection. You have fought for it, you have dreamed of it, and you have wished it, and I-I am the man who has granted you your wish.
Your ideal had an implacable enemy, which your code of morality was designed to destroy. I have withdrawn that enemy. I have taken it out of your way and out of your reach. I have removed the source of all those evils you were sacrificing one by one. I have ended your battle. I have stopped your motor. I have deprived your world of man’s mind.
Men do not live by the mind, you say? I have withdrawn those who do. The mind is impotent, you say? I have withdrawn those whose mind isn’t. There are values higher than the mind, you say? I have withdrawn those for whom there aren’t.
While you were dragging to your sacrificial altars the men of justice, of independence, of reason, of wealth, of self-esteem-I beat you to it, I reached them first. I told them the nature of the game you were playing and the nature of that moral code of yours, which they had been too innocently generous to grasp. I showed them the way to live by another morality-mine. It is mine that they chose to follow.
-Bernardo "Bernie" José Sanders

He might be a socialist but the policy he is advocating is not socialist policy. He's not talking about nationalizing industries, he's not talking about wealth redistribution. He's talking about sane tax codes, ending corporate welfare, ending big money influence on politics, and creating real GOOD jobs for Americans (as opposed to a bunch of minimum wage seasonal McJobs).

It's policy the GOP would have been on board with 30-40 years ago. What's socialist about saying our infrastructure is crumbling and falling behind? It's just truth.

100% agreed. his beliefs are socialist, his proposed policies push us further in that direction but are definitely not socialist. i would very much like it if he said we should nationalize an industry but that would probably result in his crucifixion.

All I know is I heard Hillary say 'this was a great victory for freedom of speech' RE the Citizens United decision and I'm never loving voting for that mentality ever.

Companies giving unlimited amounts of money to political campaigns because they are people and their money constitutes speech has to be one of the most hosed up Supreme Court decisions ever.
