He promises the free ticket to ride. Typical socialism, every time they elect someone closer and closer on those kinds of promises and then once in take aim at the constitution because that's their blockade. But this guy even scares some democrats. One day they may get a guy like Sanders in. In my opinion though, meanwhile ? Trumps got this election wrapped up, so not in this round. That is unless God's will is different than I think it is. Going forward, God help our children. Many of the young, especially college age love this guy. Sure why not, who doesn't like free everything, they don't know what real freedom cost so many. Bernies kind of thinking is the very thing the forefathers warned about and wrote the constitution for.

Back to being quiet now.

I was just listening to a bunch of Cuban people that immigrated here. They are more than a little offended of Bernie’s praise of Castro and his indoctrination program he called a literacy program. The supposed great healthcare (they don’t) while they kill and torture their own people. Farming out doctors for pay, etc. I got quite the education. Bernie is really out of touch with the reality of the things and people he praises.

arguably no candidate’s economic agenda so closely aligns with Catholic Social teaching
The problemo here is that CATHOLICS and other CHRISTIANS are responsible for acting out the Gospel message of taking care of people. (the poor the old and yes the unborn) It’s lazy to expect the government to step in and do the job of Christians and, in my opinion, is why America is doomed to fall. We just can’t/won’t step up in unified fasion to the plate

Oh but big government is supposed to be our sugar daddy. Churches have always tried to take care of the sick and downtrodden but now government is even interfering with that.

I just watched my video from EWTN about Saul Alinsky's push for communism. (A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing.) They also mentioned the push by socialists to eliminate Christian charities.

Yes indeed. The tentacles must go into everything.

In the video, they said that it's a slow methodical process of tearing down Christianity in the US. Saul even said he wanted to go to hell! (Yet he pushed humanism.)
What they did in Cuba as far as Catholics and other people of faith was horrific. Yet Bernie praises Castro?

They're still driving around cars from the 50's. Bernie either has no idea what he's standing for or he's in the plot to drive Christians underground.

I think he knows exactly what he is standing for. He just thinks he can tweak it.
