Presidential aspirant who proudly touts his socialism: Meet Bernie Sanders

Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders proudly calls himself a democratic socialist. There’s talk that he may consider jumping into the presidential race in 2016. Interestingly, if Hillary announced today, or if Jeb or even Marco or Ted Cruz just hint they ARE considering a race for The White House, the news media would be all over them.

Then again, Sen. Sanders says, “I do not wake up every morning with a burning desire to be President of the United States, and I think anybody who does should be immediately suspect and is probably totally crazy because this is an impossible job…”

Sanders, who champions the working and middle class, gets little recognition and in fact, is laughed at in some circles.

That laughter may be the nervous kind, because Sanders seems to deal with the truth and challenges an oligarchic view of the U.S. – a direction we’re headed in, if we’re not already there. The result is little space in the mainstream media.

A fact to consider: the powers that be in this country – who control the media – simply fear him.

The video is worth the watch.
