Netherlands

In the netherlands that is the “high teen” channels of cable broadcasting we find some strange things. There are the documentaries where reasonable looking people - often a professor of such and such - claims to have hard evidence that Dick Cheney was seen planting explosives in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. (It was a ‘controlled demolition!’ he swears.) There is the guy who wants Vermont to secede from the U.S. (In our view, the greater likelihood is the U.S. seceding from Vermont!) Also, that woman who knows for a fact that Bush invaded Iraq to get oil (notwithstanding $3/gal prices). And then there is the Colonel.

Yes, RedStateVT caught a replay of Vermont’s own Bernie Sanders giving a talk to St. Michael’s College students….something about “where America is headed.” It was Colonel Sanders in the environment that he loves, with no one to really challenge him. He droned on about income inequality as if material success in life is a completely random event. Of course he sees his role as that of arbiter of what is fair. ‘You got too much…..we need to take some of that back and give it to someone else….’ Here’s a RedStateVT rule: never trust a career politician like Sanders when it comes to spending your tax dollars.

And to St. Mike’s: how about presenting two sides of the argument so that your students can challenge both and make up their own minds? That’s educating.
