This, from Socialist Bernie Sanders, caught my ear on Sunday’s This Week talking head show

Bernie SandersCertainly ole’ Bernie is tapping into something on the hard Left – proving what a lot of us on the Right have been saying for a while: the center of the Democrat Party is now outright Socialist.  And step by step, over the decades, they have been using the Law & Regulation stick to transform us into that utopia of theirs and away from our Constitutional roots. And another whack – I blame the Republican Party for not standing up and fighting hard enough to stop them.  But anyways, here’s what he said Sunday’s This Week with George Stephanopoulus and immediately saw the incoherence:

Absolutely we need a path to citizenship for undocumented workers. We need to take people out of the shadows.  What my consern is then was, and remains, is with these guest worker programs which you are reading about where you have folks in high tech industries getting fired while corporations are bringing in people from Russia and other countries into the United States to replace American workers to drive wages down.

My takeaways:

  • So, he is willing to reward those that have broke our laws from the get go.  Socialist governments break their own laws all the time when the end justifies the means.  Any even cursory of such countries can show how this develops – and how it ends (have you been watching Venezuela lately?).

  • Socialism is also governance by Political Correctness – makes it so much easier to hide intent and to also shape (or eliminate) debates on right and wrong (or worse, tip that relationship upside down and inside out).  He can’t even call them what they are: illegal aliens.

And then we get to the meat of the incoherence:

On one hand, he is all about welcoming in people that should not be here

  • And on the other, is railing that the existence of people that should not be here are stealing jobs from American citizens.
  • Well, Mr. Sanders, you can’t have it both ways.

Sure, he’s talking about high tech workers – you know, those that the Left wants to have “good wages for a good day’s work”.  Well, it certainly looks like Bernis is NOT above bringing in unskilled, unschooled labor to compete against American workers at the lower end of the economic / labor scale.  This is “equality”? This is fairness?

Maybe in the Socialist Utopia of faux equality that he, Obama, and Hillary envision and wish to rule govern over.

What’s the opposite of Utopia?  Hmm, the word escapes me…
