I gotta be honest, nothing makes me cringe more than comparisons between Ron Paul and Bernie Sanders. While Bernie Sanders likes to talk a good game about the problems with our wars, Ron Paul has talked the talk and walked the walk. Not only did Ron Paul talk about these issues with our interventionist foreign policy, but he fundamentally understood it and the problems that were created because of such actions.
Bernie Sanders recently displayed his ignorance on these subjects when he endorsed the controversial presidential “kill list” and openly supported sending troops to Syria, additional troops to Afghanistan, as well as continuing Obama’s drone policy in the Middle East while on the air with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes.
The Presidential “Kill List”
The New York Times revealed in 2012 that President Obama hosts a meeting every Tuesday at the White House where he decides which suspected terrorists will be added to a so-called “kill list.” Those on the list can then be targeted for killing, typically with an unmanned drone.
“Do you think what’s being done now is constitutional and legal?” Hayes asked Sanders, noting the existence of “a list of people that the U.S. government wants to kill.”
“In general I do, yes,” Sanders replied.
Next in the interview with Hayes, Sanders lent his support to sending troops to Syria to aid in the fight against ISIS.
“Here’s the bottom line,” said Sanders. “ISIS has got to be destroyed, and the way that ISIS must be destroyed is not through American troops fighting on the ground.” However, “I think what the president is talking about is having American troops training Muslim troops, helping to supply the military equipment the need, and I do support that effort.”
The communist jew subhuman silm POS at it again. Choose the sucide option you pig.
Hmmm
And he supports these things for the same reason that instead of serving America by joining the service in 1963 he went to Israel to serve on a Kibbutz: because these actions support Israel and its interests.
Actually, since no link to the actual supposed interview was provided in this piece, I did some fact checking and in the interview I saw none of those topics cited were discussed AT ALL!
Apparently this is part of the $1 Million Hillery Clinton dis-information campaign and you’ve been had Admin. Might want to do a little more fact-checking before you post utter bullshit.

As usual, you reveal yourself to be a lying sack of shit. You fucking liberals will lie and cheat to try and get you idiotic message across. I haven’t been had. I always check my sources. You link to a March interview that isn’t the one. It happened 4 days ago at a townhall in Philly.
Bloviating Bernie said those words. He favors Obama’s kill list you douchebag. You are backing a warmongering asshole.
Here is a link to the full transcript. It’s towards the bottom. Maybe you can have a 3rd grader find it for you, you worthless piece of lying shit.

Westcoaster,
A link from msnbc to support your position is worse than no link at all.
They’re well known for creating false and fictitious news stories by editing and taking completely out of context to make something appear different than, or even the opposite of, what really took place.

An enjoyable thread
One of my suppliers is in Vermont. He posts little humorous remarks in his email fliers for sales sometimes. Recently he posted that Vermonters have decided that if they can ever get Bernie out of the state long enough, they will build a wall around Vermont and make the democrats pay for it.
The post-Bernie world:
@Admin: Post such a disingenuous, slanted, out-of-context piece on your website REALLY disappoints me as I previously thought you were a Man of character.
First, there is no link on the piece to the video. I did read the link you provided and here’s the exchange as printed:
“QUESTION: Senator Sanders, you said that you think that the U.S. airstrikes are authorized under current law, but does that mean that the U.S. military can lawfully strike ISIS-affiliated groups in any country around the world?
SANDERS: No, it does not mean that. I hope, by the way, that we will have an authorization passed by the Congress, and I am prepared to support that authorization if it is tight enough so I am satisfied that we do not get into a never-ending perpetual war in the Middle East. That I will do everything I can to avoid.
(APPLAUSE)
But the President, no President, has the ability willy-nilly to be dropping bombs or using drones any place he wants.”
HOW CAN THAT IN ANY WAY BE SPUN TO HIS “SUPPORT OF” DRONE WARFARE, OR AS YOU JUST SAID “Bloviating Bernie said those words. He favors Obama’s kill list you douchebag. You are backing a warmongering asshole.” PRETTY OBVIOUS TO A CHIMP YOU DIDN’T EVEN READ THE PIECE!!!!!!!!!!!
REGARDING THE TROOPS IN AFGHANISTAN…
“HAYES: One more question — the announcement today that the U.S. is going to send 250 Special Forces operators on the ground in Syria. Do you agree with that? Do you think that’s permissible, given the fact that there has not been an authorization?
SANDERS: I think the — look. Here’s the bottom line. ISIS has got to be destroyed, and the way that ISIS must be destroyed is not through American troops fighting on the ground. ISIS must be destroyed and King Abdullah of Jordan has made this clear, that the war is for the soul of Islam and it must be won by the Muslim nations themselves.
I think what the President is talking about is having American troops training Muslim troops, helping to supply the military equipment they need, and I do support that effort. We need a broad coalition of Muslim troops on the ground. We have had some success in the last year or so putting ISIS on the defensive, we’ve got to continue that effort.”
WHERE’S THE REFERENCE TO AFGHANISTAN????
It’s your website, Admin, so do what you want, but you’re killing your credibility posting shit like this.
Only a disingenuous piece of shit would call using a man’s exact words from a townhall posted on the fucking MSNBC website as slanted.
As usual, you are too fucking lazy or too fucking corrupted by your ideology and man love for the loser Sanders to find the real exchange posted in the transcript.
You ignore facts that don’t support your warped viewpoint just like every liberal douchebag. Exact exchange from the transcript on the fucking MSNBC website:
HAYES: The current authorization which you cite in what Miguel just quoted which is the authorization to use military force after 9/11. That has led to the kill list. This President — literally, there is a kill list. There is a list of people that the U.S. government wants to kill, and it goes about doing it. Would you keep the kill list as President of the United States?
SANDERS: Look. Terrorism is a very serious issue. There are people out there who want to kill Americans, who want to attack this country, and I think we have a lot of right to defend ourselves. I think as Miguel said, though, it has to be done in a constitutional, legal way.
HAYES: Do you think what’s being done now is constitutional and legal?
SANDERS: In general I do, yes.
So bernie is just another murder-hungry govt scumbag, huh?
I.Am.Surprised.
Not really, the type of leaders in his ideological lineage provided an accurate blueprint for govt sanctioned murder.
Westy,
So, you’re “disappointed” in admins lack of character? That is the typical SJW aatack that attempts to appeal to some form of emotional guilt instead of logic. You really are a sorry sack of horseshit.
Something tells he gives zero fucks anout your “didappointment” in him you fucking asshat.
The more I disappoint idiots like Westcoaster, the more I know I’m providing the unadulterated truth.
