Well, the Big Debate took place last night and it still appears that Bernie Sanders is the guy to beat.  One would think it wouldn’t be that difficult. The man is openly Communist, he has zero real-world work experience, has never earned a dollar that was not public payroll, he has pie-in-the-sky nonsense plans for playing a sort of combination Fidel Castro/Santa Claus.  He wants to take your money and mine and pay off other people’s college debt. I can’t afford college myself. I wouldn’t be interested in paying off someone else’s. He wants universal cradle-to-grave health care, day care, etc. He obviously wants minimal contact between parents and children.  Why would anyone want that? Maybe if you hated your kids. . . 

Then he wants to have the state become the landlord - get everyone into public housing on the taxpayer’s tab.  Who wants this? There is already subsidized housing for the poor who choose to live indoors. Those who don’t won’t appreciate being rounded up and put there, those who have a home don’t want to give up their independence for that.  

Regarding “education”, Sanders has not only proposed free college, but he says he likes Castro’s style in promoting ``literacy”.  It would certainly seem to those who escaped it that the price of that literacy was very high. I don’t know that this idea would sell that well.  I don’t know. He has some noisy followers.  

But the most remarkable thing about these Democrat debates has been the seeming unwillingness among all of the rest of the field to attack this Communism.  No one seems willing to take a shot at it. Only Amy Klobuchar, the lady who eats salad with a comb - so nuts in spite of it - has been willing to say at least that she would be “uncomfortable” with a “socialist” at the top of the ticket.  The rest have said socialism is good enough for them. Even Bloomberg won’t take a shot at it. Biden just stands there staring, Warren has no objection to anything but Bloomberg and seems to think he is too short to run on the Democrat ticket.  Looking from one end to the other of that lineup we see nothing but welfare state daddies. It seems there is a contest to try to be the one with the biggest swag bags for the voters. Oh, I did miss something. Warren says Bloomberg is a misogynist and Biden says Bloomberg is soft on guns. For the most part, however, the whole debate was about how complete the candidates would make the nanny state and make children of us all.

To hear a refreshing point of view which emphasizes self-reliance, self-confidence and how to empower the “underdog”.  Crystal Wright, author (Con Job) and blogger (Conservativeblackchick.com) addressed the Conservative Women Leaders in a wide-ranging conversation on independence, on family, on “toxic masculinity”, on women’s rights, on police burtality, on parenting, on guns and on the damage being done by the nanny state.  Please take a few minutes to hear what she has to say!
