The Real Meaning Of Bernie's Arrest Photo

You may have seen this photo of Bernie Sanders being arrested in 1963:

I believe there is no such photo of the young "activist" named Hillary Rodham.

Why the difference?

Bernie Sanders is a real iconoclast, a true activist. He was willing to put himself at risk, in danger even, for the cause in which he believed.

Hillary, on the other hand, is a make-believe iconoclast, a charlatan. Like her so-called husband (a draft dodger), she has NEVER put herself at risk, let alone in danger, for We The People or for any of the many causes in which she allegedly believed. Unlike Bernie, who hid behind no one, she always had powerful benefactors and protectors. "Her" causes were their causes, not ours.

So ... if you want a President who will put himself on the line for We The People, vote for Bernie.

But if you want a President who panders in secret to the rich and powerful, whose only brush with danger was a make-believe sniper attack, and who put her own privacy above the national security interests of the United States, vote for Hillary.

Someday that may be your arrest photo in the paper, but I doubt it will ever be hers. She has too many powerful friends.
