Voting With Bernie Sanders

By Ben Garrison

Bernie Sanders, the socialist Senator from Vermont, thinks prisoners in America should be allowed to vote—regardless of their crimes.

‘Even terrible people should have the right to vote,’ he said. This includes rapists, terrorists, child molesters, and serial killers. Bernie knows that prisoners will most likely vote for free stuff and his socialism.

Once convicted and imprisoned, criminals lose their rights. They forfeit their Second Amendment right to a firearm. Guns in prison? I don’t think so. Free speech is limited. The prisoners’ mail is read—the warden wants to make sure inmates aren’t arranging escapes or colluding to commit crimes behind bars.

Prisoners are subject to search and seizure at any time. They don’t get to enjoy a Fourth Amendment. Yet Bernie wants them to participate in civic life even after they’ve clearly shown their contempt for civics by breaking the law.

Perhaps Bernie considers the prison vote to be somehow fulfilling his promise of ‘social justice,’ but to most Americans voting while jailed is injustice.

It’s just another one of Crazy Bernie’s crackpot ideas.

Can Mayor Buttplug Save the Democrats?

By Jim Goad

Can a gay man whose surname begins with the word “Butt” become America’s next president?

Say hello to Pete Buttigieg, who is so kind and helpful that his Twitter page phoneticizes his Maltese surname as “BOOT-edge-edge” so you don’t have to spend half a day trying to figure out how to pronounce it. Because his last name is so ridiculously inscrutable, many prefer to simply call him “Mayor Pete.” Buttigieg is the out-and-proud mayor of South Bend, IN, who declared his candidacy for president yesterday amid a wave of hype touting him as “the hottest thing in politics.” Almost entirely unknown a month ago, recent polls show him trailing only Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders in a cluttered field of Democratic candidates.

Biden is a straight white male, which is a severe liability in the modern Democratic milieu, even though he bends over backwards apologizing for it. Sanders is Jewish but suffers the misfortune of existing in a climate where Jews are still largely considered white—they have yet to fully shake that stigma.

Both Biden and Sanders are also in their late 70s and are seeking to appeal to an increasingly youthful demographic. There’s also Beto O’Rourke, who’s much younger than those doddering septuagenarians but then again is saddled with the ignominy of being a straight white male.

Like O’Rourke, Buttigieg is young—if elected, he’d become the youngest president ever—but what sets him apart from the rest of the Democrats’ unfashionably white males is that he is gay. Therefore, even though he’s Harvard-educated and independently wealthy, he’s “oppressed.” And in the modern Democratic Party, you’re not a winner unless you’re a loser, at least in historical terms.

I mean, he doesn’t merely engage in sexual activities that Leviticus declares to be an abomination before the Lord Jehovah. He plays piano, harmonica, and guitar. He speaks eight languages and allegedly learned Norwegian just so he could read a novel. He’s a Rhodes scholar and an Afghanistan war vet. He refers to himself as “definitely the only left-handed, Maltese American Episcopalian gay millennial war veteran in the race.”

So it’s not as if engaging in sodomitical relations with his legal husband is the man’s only selling point; it’s definitely the main one that they’re pushing, though.

15 Serial Killers, Rapists, Kidnappers, Child Molesters Eligible to Vote Under Bernie Sanders’ Plan

Via Breitbart News

This week, socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) endorsed a plan that would allow felons serving time behind bars the right to vote from their prison cells.
“So, I believe people who commit crimes, they pay the price and they get out of jail, they certainly should have the right to vote,” Sanders said during a town hall. “But, I believe even if they are in jail, they’re paying the price to society, but that should not take away their inherent American right to participate in our democracy.”

Initially, Sen. Kamala Harris said, “I think we should have that conversation” when asked about allowing convicted criminals to vote from their cells, but she has since backtracked on that statement, declaring that she actually opposes giving felons in prison the right to vote.

“Do I think that people who commit murder and people who are terrorists should be deprived of their rights, yes I do,” Harris said.

During a rally in Houston, Texas, on Wednesday, Sanders doubled down on giving all incarcerated felons the right to vote from prison, comparing the plan to giving women and black Americans the right to vote.

“If you are a citizen, you have the right to vote. And that is a right we must protect because we know the history of this country, we know that women didn’t have the right to vote,” Sanders said. “We know that African-Americans didn’t have the right to vote.”

“Being an American citizen and having the right to vote is something that we must never, ever give up on,” Sanders said.

In total, the Sanders-endorsed plan would allow more than 1.6 million felons in federal, state, and local prisons the right to vote from their cells — including some 183,000 convicted murderers and 164,000 convicted rapists.

Bernie Sanders Hailed as Socialist Superhero in His Own Comic Book

Via Newsbusters

As if we don’t see 2020 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders often enough, a comic book company has decided to produce a one-shot singing the praises of the Independent Vermont senator with the curious title Talk Bernie to Me!

The issue will feature three covers, with one of Sanders’ smiling face, another with him as He-Man from the Masters of the Universe animated series holding up a sword in front of the White House and a third depicting his arrest during a protest many years ago.

In addition, Sanders — who is described in the Devil’s Due company’s press release as “one of the front-runners” in the Democratic Party’s primary election — will wear a chest plate with “$27” on it to represent the average individual donation to his political campaigns.

While depicting the candidate “as a full-fledged superhero,” the issue is referred to as “a comic book anthology for the 99 percent” of wage-earners in the country and “will be chock full of short-form Bernie comics, Trump and GOP skewering, plus satirical games and puzzles.”

In an effort to promote higher sales, the issue will also contain an “AOC Surprise” as a follow-up to the comic giving similar treatment to the socialist Congresswoman from New York. That one-shot is set to be released on May 15 under the title Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Freshman Force.

California Demands Restaurants Charge Customers 1% ‘Climate Change’ Fee

Via Zero Hedge

As the state with one of the highest costs of living, largely due to its ‘green’ regulations on vehicle emissions and other initiatives that have earned it the nickname ‘taxifornia’, the last thing most Californians want to do is pay even more in unnecessary surcharges, fees and taxes.

Yet that’s exactly what one militant climate-change advocacy group is asking them to do.

According to CBS Sacramento, a group called the Perennial Farming Initiative is asking restaurateurs to sign up for passing an “optional” 1% surcharge along to their patrons. The money will be funneled to the California Air Resource Board, and spent on plans to implement “carbon plans on farms and ranches.”

The plan, called the Restore California Renewable Restaurants, ultimately aims to take carbon emissions out of the air and transplant them into the soil, where they can help plants grow.

But unsurprisingly, people in liberal-leaning Sacramento appeared to be split on the plan.

“There’s always going to be the people who say, why is this on the bill? I don’t want to pay it. I don’t care what it’s for. I don’t want to pay it,” Christopher Barnum-Dann, the owner of Localis, said.

Though the group argued that the 1% surcharge would be insignificant to most people, and diners relying on a fixed income can avoid it by simply preparing their meals at home.
