Ronald Reagan warned us about Bernie Sanders – over 40 years ago

As usual the great Ronald Reagan was right. Today the fascist Democrat Party led by Bernie Sanders seek to destroy America as we know it. Here is the good news. We couldn’t ask for a better fighter to defend America from the anti-America Democrat Party (the Left) than President Donald J. Trump! #Trump2020!

Ronald Reagan warned us about Bernie Sanders – over 40 years ago

Story continues below advertisement

By Fox News, February 23, 2020:

After his term as California governor ended and before he became president, Ronald Reagan recorded daily commentaries broadcast by about 350 radio stations and heard by tens of millions of Americans. When I listened to a collection of these broadcasts recently, it sounded like Reagan was warning us about the socialism preached by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.

With Sanders’ victory in the Nevada Democratic caucuses Saturday – making him the current front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination – the words of warning from Reagan struck me as something more Americans ought to be aware of today.

Throughout his nearly five-year radio run, Reagan preached that the promises of socialism were lies. He noted that we often grow so accustomed to them, however, that we lose the fear of the ideology itself.

In one of his commentaries, Reagan quotes a line he once spoke in a play highlighting the far-left ideology’s danger: “I never knew what freedom was until I saw you lose yours.”

In another commentary, the future president tells of a young man debating a socialist who criticized anyone wanting to pursue the finer things in life.

“Socialists ignore the side of man that is of the spirit,” Reagan said back in 1975. “They can provide shelter, fill your belly with bacon and beans, treat you when you’re ill – all the things that are guaranteed to a prisoner or a slave. But they don’t understand we also dream, yes, even of owning a yacht.”

History has always had a way of repeating itself, partly due to ignorance but also attributable to human nature. When German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels published “The Communist Manifesto” in 1848 it appealed to idealists, painting a utopian vision of a more just world where poverty was nonexistent and everyone worked together in peace and harmony.

One popular English translation “The Communist Manifesto” ends with the words: “Workers of the world, unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains!” It almost sounds like a Sanders slogan.

“The Democratic Party Presidential debate showed the true colors of the party-50 shades of socialism, or probably more. It also showed how the party behaves. There is very little any of the candidates have to offer. Nothing new from the stable of mostly old former 60s hippies or hippy wannabes. Climate change, abortion, special rights for all sorts of sexual genders that most of us have never heard of, making guns illegal, ensuring the rights of almost every special interest groups that they can cobble together to get a vote. Nothing new here. But the issues, really, are just vehicles in the same fleet. They are carriers of socialism; transporters of wealth redistribution–everybody gets a take, especially the elected and their cronies.

See all these people say they are for the poor. They have used this worn out mantra since the days of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s massive implementation of socialism during a time when there were no term limits and America essentially had its first and only dictator. Roosevelt, while he did “manage” America through the Great Depression, was a socialist and his policies grew government, enriched cronies, and redistributed wealth. If the “little guy” that these New Deal politicians got all the money collected on taxes, an entirely new generation of millionaires would have been birthed. Government expanded, political systems became entrenched, people like the Kennedy’s made millions from the turning of a blind eye.

Now today, we have much the same thing. All these candidates say they represent the poor. They are the voice of those who have no voice. They are the protector of the minorities. But it is interesting, isn’t it, that most all of them are at least millionaires, and they have made their money, except for a couple of them, after they were elected to public service. Elizabeth Warren, for example, recently wrote a fundraising letter to senior citizens saying she identified with them because she grew up in the Depression era and wasn’t wealthy. Truth is, Warren was born in 1949 (post-war) and is worth over $8 million. Bernie Sanders is worth over $2 million, but his wife is worth more. Joe Biden is worth over $9 million. How do you get all that by “serving” the public?

Look how they treat each other-all nicey nice to their faces, but then they slam each other with insults and lies during the debate. And the media loves it, calling it the best ever! But this is exactly what they do. They tear people down. They have no new ideas on how to solve problems, unless it is to raise taxes to change the climate or to ban guns for law abiding citizens. They point the finger at each other for being socialist, but they deny being socialist-At least Sanders owns up to it. Every time they debate, it’s 50 shades of socialism. Nobody is going to have to pay for anything, except for the rich. But the rich won’t pay either, because all of those who are saying tax the rich, are rich themselves. C’mon man! 2 Timothy 3:13, “But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived.” Another 50 shades–of deception.”

Thanks for write up. Let me add, though. It was a professor at Hillsdale College whose name I forget that wrote that FDR’s policies actually extended the Depression. His Brain Trust actually wanted to tax family truck gardens as income even if grown just to provide food for one’s family. FDR is even worse though. Going back to one of his ancestors, Clinton Roosevelt, there is ample evidence that he wrote the “template for the Communist Manifesto.”

FDR was not the Capitalist we think he was. Read Antony Sutton’s book “Wall Street and FDR” which is on the web here: https://tinyurl.com/s3mw55v

Sadly, even Reagan had at least one leftist of FDR persuasion in his administration. Gary Kah wrote that when Reagan was tapped to be the candidate he was asked if he would have anyone of the ABC orgs in his administration and he said no. His first choice was GHW Bush whose father was a banker to the Nazis. Presott Sheldon Bush. Read Sutton’s “Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution” as well as Cleon Skousen’s “The Naked Capitalist” and the world looks very different than you thought it did. Also, the book “From Major Jordan’s Diaries” (https://tinyurl.com/qoklr53) you’ll discover from a Army Major, who had been attached to Lend Lease that the Russians did not develop the bomb, they were given it by the FDR administration courtesy of Harry Hopkins. Sutton’s “Anthony Sutton Triology Of Western Technology And Soviet Economic Development 1917 To 1930, 1930 To 1945, 1945 To 1965” (https://tinyurl.com/szmpwo9) I stumbled on it in a university library some ten years ago. The Democrat Party has been leading this nation to Communism for a very long time. Sutton produced this work while at the Hoover Institution. For a synopsis on the Sutton volumes check this: (https://tinyurl.com/r7ez7to) I’m not sure if it’s in the Sutton book, but I’ve read that the architecture firm was responsible for the first Soviet Five Year Plan.

President Ronald Reagan’s prescience regarding the far-Left 40 years ago rings true today. Reagan spurned by the Left, the Democrats to this day, was a man of reliable principles and patriotism, the antithesis of the Democrats and its tagalong Bolshevists. The Lefts’, the Democrats,’ radical or otherwise, objective was to overthrow this Constitutional Republic, nothing has changed.

Its opening shots were in the 60s and 70s by the disaffected malcontents of so-called Liberalism; in reality, it was a radical movement of aspirant Communists. The differences, of then and now, are these subversives learned from these errors embedding propagandists, handlers within the education system while hijacking the already primed for treason, the Democratic Party. The latter of which is not Democratic but a party bent on radicalized-Leftist despotism.

The only hope for this Republic is if America’s voters possess the same foresight as the late President, Ronald Reagan. Bernie Sanders’ lauding Fidel Castro’s despotic regime is the antithesis of Reagan’s nationalistic patriotism. No one should take Sanders lightly; the man is maniacal but holds a reckoning force upon those bent on turning this Constitutional Republic into a mirror-image of Castro’s Cuba.

Patriotic Americans must not be complacent, Sanders and the entirety of the Faux Democratic Party shall stop at nothing to cause the downfall of this nation. Ronald Reagan’s warnings were justifiable 40 years ago, but more so, now.
