Here's where Hillary plans to take nation

It took Bernie Sanders' presidential bid to unmask Hillary Clinton as a long-term, closet socialist. During and since the primary election, candidate Clinton has embraced all of President Obama's socialist policies and promised to build on them.

These are ideas that she has held as a Marxist ideologue since her Ivy League days.

Hillary's infatuation with socialism began in 1969 when she wrote her master's thesis on the philosophy and tactics of left-wing radical Saul Alinsky. She has been a quiet devotee of the communist agitator since that time - a passion she shares with Barack Obama.

Clinton exposed her socialist side when she was Bill Clinton's health care czar in 1992. With the help of hard core leftist academics, she created a single-payer program that was Obamacare on steroids. This over-the-top version of socialized medicine was, fortunately, killed by Congress.

Since her primary race, Hillary has pledged to continue President Obama's policies that are the embodiment of Alinsky's eight steps for creating a socialist state: control the health care system; redistribute wealth to create a permanent welfare state; increase the national debt to an unsustainable level; remove guns and people's ability to defend themselves; take control of education (i.e., Common Core); remove God from schools and government; use class warfare to divide the people into rich and poor then tax the rich out of existence.

So, thanks to Bernie, we know where Hillary plans to take this country. On Nov. 8, we have one chance to stop her.
