I came here today, because I believe from the bottom of my heart that it is vitally important for those of us who hold different views to be able to engage in a civil discourse. It is easy to go out and talk to people who agree with you…that’s not hard to do. That’s what politicians by and large do. We go out and talk to people who agree with us. But it is harder, but not less important, for us to try and communicate with those who do not agree with us on every issue.
– Bernie Sanders at Liberty University
As much as I disagree with Bernie Sanders on many important issues (mostly economic), I have a lot of respect for the man. I cannot really say the same about any other presidential candidate in the race at the moment.
The fact that Sanders chose to take time off from his campaign to speak to students of a private, Christian university founded by Jerry Falwell tells you a lot about the type of man he is. While Trump is busying hurling insults, and doing his best to appeal to the darker, more hateful aspects of the human condition, Sanders is out there trying to build bridges.
Take the time to watch the video and decide for yourself:

Senator Bernie Sanders, where do you stand on stopping over sixty-five years of the abusive application of the state secrets privilege and related doctrine, act, executive order, regulation and related policy abuses? Where do you stand on stopping the tax payer funded serial sociopathic intelligence gathering pedophiles?
Michael, I think you’ve been demagogue’d.

Sanders is an avowed socialist.
Mr. Krieger is a wise man and I respect his views but can he tell me why he feels compelled to indebt my unborn children and grandchildren with even MORE future liability than they HAVE ALREADY incurred?
BC that is EXACTLY what you are doing by supporting and electing Bernie Sanders.
It is no wonder that those of the party of the crazies and stupids cannot understand Bernie Sanders. Y’all stick with Trump and Cruz as you obviously want nothing more than to have your “lizard brain” constantly stimulated by hate and simple empty slogans.
So you think anyone who rejects Sanders and his economic buffoonery automatically supports Trump and Cruz? You’re an imbecile. Your support for Sanders is not surprising.
