'I Have No Idea Why Bernie Supporters Are Seen As Clueless Nutters'
Up until recently both of my daughters were Bernie 'nutters'.
These girls are the typical young people today: IGNORANT, inadequately educated on civics / the Constitution / Law / history, believed if its on the Internet & her 'intelligent' friends are saying to then it has to be true...oh yeah, and the ides of Bernie and the Democrats giving them EVERYTHING they want for 'FREE' is / was too good to pass up.
We had a log talk....during which I reminded them why I served for 30 years, about the Constitution, Rule of Law, our freedom, and how freedom is to important to give it away or 'sell it' for 'free shit'.
'A government big / strong enough to GIVE you everything you WANT is big / powerful enough to TAKE everything you HAVE.'
-- Nothing is 'Free', especially 'freedom'. Once government / self-appointed rulers talk you into GIVING up your rights / freedoms they NEVER give them back.
'Free'?
- The government exists by the will of the people and run off of the money they SEIZE from the people. The government MAKES / GENERATES no money...it is NOT self-sustainable financially.
- EVERYTHING the govt pays for is paid for with money taken out of the pockets of the people, most often than not, the middle class.
Bernie is the typical Socialist Ruler-wannabe: 'As I SAY to thee, NOT what you SEE of ME'!
- 'Translation: "Imposed Socialism is fine for the sheep, but I want to be the 'shepherd', herding and bending the 'flock' to my will / agenda'."
Anyone who has ever seen or lived under Socialism knows the 'Kum-ba-ya' smoke and mirrors Socialists paint for the ignorant youth is NLT the Socialism they will end up getting.
I asked them:
You work hard for those 'A's in school...while some students are slackers and get by with 'C's. What is someone came up with the plan for a letter grade to be taken away from 'you', giving 'you' a 'B', and given to the slacker, raising his 'C' to a 'B'....everyone makes an equal grade....
-- 'But I worked hard for my 'A'.
So what? 'Redistribution of wealth', even 'intellectual' wealth...taking from one so others can have something for FREE...and to make the system work, 'you' have to keep working hard for the slackers and yourself so everyone can benefit....
My girls are no longer 'Bernie Nutters'....
