Senator Bernie Sanders is the antithesis of what
makes this country great. This man doesn’t
understand federalism and the principles for which it stands. This man takes an oath to uphold those very
principles and then breaks it every chance he gets. The people of Vermont should be ashamed of
themselves for sending this mental midget to the Senate.
I am sick of hearing European paeans by American
congressmen. If these officials are so
enamored by the old world, may I suggest they pack their bags and move there? If they actually had to live under this European
utopia, maybe they would have a better appreciation for our system of
governance. I for one am happy my
ancestors immigrated to this great country.
Senator Bernie Sanders has leveled a charge that
America is not a compassionate country.
Maybe that’s because he doesn’t understand it, or his views are so
perverted and hateful he’s incapable of seeing the wheat from the chaff.
The American character, which is unique in all of
world history, is renowned for acts of charity and sense of community. Alexis De Tocqueville wrote about it in his
Democracy in America:
In America, not only do institutions belong to
the community but also they are kept alive and supported by a community spirit.
The New England township possesses two advantages which strongly arouse the interest of men, namely independence and authority. Its sphere of action is indeed restricted but, within that sphere, its movements are unlimited. This independence alone guarantees it real importance even though its populations and size would not warrant it.
It is best to realize that men’s affections, in general, come down on the side of authority. Patriotism does not long prevail in a conquered nation. The inhabitant of New England is devoted to his township, not because he was born there as much as because he views the township as a strong, free social body of which he is part and which merits the care he devotes to its management.
In Europe, governments often bewail the absence of this community spirit, for everyone agrees that it is an ingredient in public order and tranquility, even though they do not know how to create it. By making the township strong and independent, they are afraid they might disintegrate the social fabric and expose the state to the forces of anarchy. Once you remove the strength and independence of the township, you will reduce the citizens to administrative units.

Isn’t that what Progressives are trying to do to
us? Are they not reducing us to
administrative units? For over a hundred
years, these people have schemed to change Americans into manageable and
reliant serfs.
I can attest to the “compassion” of
progressives. A couple of years ago, I
found my neighbor lying beside a dumpster.
He had a brain tumor which paralyzed his lower extremities. He couldn’t move. I tried to pick him up and put him in my car
so as to take him to the hospital. He
was too heavy for me to do it alone, so I asked my other neighbor for help. His girlfriend told me to call 9/11 and let
them deal with it. She was quite willing
to turn her back on this poor man, who she knew, lie beside a stinking dumpster. She voted for Bernie Sanders.
Americans are a compassionate people, its people
like Bernie Sanders and his army of progressives who aren’t.
