Watching the Dem Debate: a Penance

February 12, 2016

I saw the entire PBS Democratic debate last night. Of course, the moderators and audience were in the tank for Hillary. She wore, as usual, one of her Kim Jong Un uniforms. Bernie was in his rumpled-suit costume. She seemed sure of herself, as she droned on and on about her own greatness. Bernie seemed slightly nervous, and a little more hyper than usual. Each promised to enforce the full SJW agenda, further expand the state, and enact even more redistribution. To dry every tear, kiss every boo boo, and shower every parasite with the stolen earnings of producers. One good moment: when Bernie denounced Hillary’s reliance on the war criminal Kissinger for advice. Hillary is, of course, a warmonger and imperialist, funded by  Soros, etc. (as Bernie pointed out). But, as Hillary noted in turn, Bernie is a warmonger and imperialist, too. He did vote against GOP aggression in Iraq, but not the rest of Bush’s nor Obama’s bloodshed. And Bernie’s unhinged remarks against Russia were worthy of Hill or Rubio. He’s a neocon, too, in the original Trotskyite tradition. Hillary is a 2nd-wave neocon.
