Hoping to entice minority voters away from Clinton, on Wednesday Bernie Sanders announced that not only will he apologize for slavery if elected but he believes blacks should receive de facto slavery reparations through government redistributionism.
 
Get real Bern! As Ben Shapiro says, you should apologize for socialism!

Sanders thinks he has a shot at the nomination if he can just pry enough black support away from Hillary. So he’ll say anything, including imputing pro-slavery motivations to his opponents. In reality, of course, the president apologizing for slavery 150 years after its conclusion only exacerbates racial tensions by reinforcing the notion that America is irredeemably racist; Sanders’ protestations that he wants to “wipe the slate clean” are nonsense. Teaching yet another generation of young black people that America was born in sin and raised in evil and bears a stain that will never be washed away – all of that will do nothing to empower individuals to take responsibility for their own lives.

But like any ardent socialist worth his hammer and sickle…

Sanders doesn’t want individuals taking responsibility for their own lives. It’s government’s job to take responsibility for everybody’s life – to seize from them their property and their labor for its own ends. Which, come to think of it, sounds a lot more like involuntary servitude than freedom.

 
 
Gary Kasparov, born and raised in the Soviet Union (and arguably the best chess player in the world), helpfully provides a reality-check for millennials or any other dupes who happen to be feelin’ the Bern: “Hey, Bernie, don’t lecture me about socialism. I lived through it” ~

I’m enjoying the irony of American Sanders’ supporters lecturing me, a former Soviet citizen, on the glories of Socialism and what it really means!
 
Socialism sounds great in speech soundbites and on Facebook, but please keep it there. In practice, it corrodes not only the economy but the human spirit itself, and the ambition and achievement that made modern capitalism possible and brought billions of people out of poverty.
 
Talking about Socialism is a huge luxury, a luxury that was paid for by the successes of capitalism. Income inequality is a huge problem, absolutely. But the idea that the solution is more government, more regulation, more debt, and less risk is dangerously absurd […]

 
Kasparov must have been psychic when he wrote this last month because it’s the perfect comeback to Sanders’ latest utopian ramblings ~

A society that relies too heavily on redistributing wealth eventually runs out of wealth to redistribute. The historical record is clear. It’s capitalism that brought billions of people out of poverty in the 20th century. It’s socialism that enslaved them and impoverished them…

How Bernie Sanders Sold his Soul to the Left ~ Daniel Greenfield examines Bernie pandering politics ~

There was never really an authentic Bernie Sanders. Bernie was always a politician who reshaped his views when he needed to. Bernie’s supporters like to claim that he isn’t for sale. But Bernie Sanders sold his soul long ago. Now he’s auctioning off the used pieces of it a second and a third time for a few bucks.
