Carr: Bernie's American dream more like a bad nightmare
2015-12-14
[BOSTONHERALD] Sen. Bernie Sanders
...The only openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords...
has a dream for America -- his dream, our nightmare.

A nation of golf carts.

#8  European Conservative, I think you might need to take European diesels off of that list. I suspect (and I'm not alone) that there has been a lot of fudging the numbers the way VW did.

#7  The only openly Socialist member

Probably the only one with enough education to know that Socialism means.

#6  The only openly Socialist member The key word is "openly." The other Donks mask what they are to get elected. They are thus "covertly" or "clandestine" socialists--(or if you like a member of a Fifth Column effort.)

And so Bernie's candidacy could be regarded as a trial balloon so the rest of them can see how far to the left they can go and still get away with it.

#5  And even if Bernie's dream comes true and we are all biking 20+ miles to (and back from) work... Oh scratch that - there won't be any jobs and we will all be on government dole using up those freshly printed billion-dollar bills...

Anyway even of Bernie's dream comes true - it wouldn't make a scratch in GloBull Worming. Because it's not man-caused.

#3  "Here's my favorite: "A new fuel-efficiency standard (for cars) of 65 miles per gallon by 2025."

To get to 65 mpg, the vehicles would have to weigh about as much as that empty aluminum soda...

I'm sorry, but that's nonsense. Those cars already exist, for example the Audi A1 1.6 TDI, the Toyota Yaris Hybrid, the Peugeot 208, the Renault Twingo dCi 85, the VW Polo 1.2 TDI Bluemotion, the Ford Fiesta Econetic 1.6 TDCi, the Smart Fortwo Coupé cdi and a few more.

Sure, these are small city cars, but definitely no tin cans. In ten years we should be able to build bigger cars, which should run fin with one gallon per mile.

That's not a socialist pipe dream, but makes a lot of sense.

Less gas, less dependency on Middle Eastern oil.

#2  Until such time that OWG-NWO = aka Sapce govt-Order is permanently + irrevocably achieved + entrenched, EXPECT THINGS TO GET MUCH WORSE BEFORE THEY GET BETTER.

E.g. the Bammer's mighty defense of his own "red lines" vee Russia, China, + Iran, Etal.

Whatever the Bammer fails to achieve before jan. 2017, in whole or in part, EXPECT ANY SIMILAR ANTI-US US OWG GLOBALIST SUCCESSOR(S) TO DO SO.

DON'T FEAR ANTI-US GLOBALIST OBAMA - FEAR MORE THE ANTI-US GLOBALIST POTUS(ES) WHOM FOLLOW HIM.

#1  Lest we fergit, the "American Dream" is now the "Amerikan Dream" or the "North Amerikan Dream", where Canada + Mexico + Greenland's values-beliefs, etc. are now to be integrated wid that of the US.

Aren't we glad we voted for [US-led Anti-US] OWG-NWO + US-Global Socialist Order!

Oh wait ... ...
