OPINION:
Robert Knight should get the Presidential Medal of Freedom for identifying Bernie Sanders as bad for America (“Bernie’s Red bona fides,” Web, Feb. 24). Bernie’s ’redness’ is not just deplorable. He is not just a pathological liar who calls our president a pathological liar for making America great again. Bernie is a pathological communist, too. Communism is itself a pathological lie; it’s the most virulent form of socialism. It failed spectacularly as the Soviet Union and continues to fail in Cuba and Venezuela. It hasn’t failed in China because the dictatorship plans and enforces crony capitalism. Not even Joseph Stalin would conceive of naming American sports teams in a Vermont city to celebrate communism.
Bernie’s success in getting elected repeatedly and recently raising $6 million in one day for his presidential campaign is not a tribute to his socialism. It is a demonstration of the success of our educational system to deliver propaganda instead of knowledge and the ability to think analytically.
