American cops are on a dangerous power trip

56. The Clintons seem to have made a lot of bad judgments when in office.

No one will be right about everything all the time. But the Clintons seem to be too much bent by the furor of the times.

In contrast, Bernie has a moral compass that guides his decisions. That's why he has been pretty steady in his opinions over the years.

Fairness, moderation, caring about others, recognizing that we are in this together, that we are one nation, that poverty is a horrible fate, that every life has dignity, that war is a solution only in really extreme circumstances, that religious freedom and freedom of conscience are important values, that the family is important, that fair wages are important, that unions help working people and are therefore also important, that Americans are suffering under America's trade policies, opposing the Iraq War and so many issues, Bernie has been right.

His secret is that moral compass that is embedded in his very soul. It steadies him and makes him seem cranky and stubborn I'm sure to others in Congress. But look how right he has been on the issues over and over.

It's that moral compass. When Bernie speaks, after each sentence I sort of hear his inner voice asking, checking in with that moral compass. It's not so evident when he is giving his stump speech in its many variations. But when he answers questions or talks about new ideas or new goals, you can hear that inner voice.

That's what makes Bernie so unique -- that inner moral compass.

We need that in the White House.

Feel the Bern!
