When Bern Felt The Burn

[Tom Horn]

Chicago police officers carry protester Bernie Sanders, 21, in August, 1963 to a police wagon from a civil-rights demonstration at West 73rd Street and South Lowe Avenue in Chicago. He was arrested, charged with resisting arrest, found guilty and fined $25. He was a University of Chicago student at the time.

Bernie has been walking the walk since the 1960s. You want to talk about consistency? How about fighting for the same values your entire life? How can you even compare that to somebody like Hillary whose opinion depends on what she thinks the public wants to hear?

I have nothing against Bernie Sanders and his civil rights beliefs which he backed up in street demonstrations. The reason I posted the pics is that I'd never thought of him as a young man....always the old bent-over socialist wagging his finger at everybody.
