"Etched in Stone" as Democratic Principles. Those are the cornerstones that made out Party GREAT.
Here are other "Democratic Principles" as laid our by the Father of the Modern Democratic Party. I still live by these principles:
In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be[font size=3] established for all—regardless of station, race, or creed.[/font]
Among these are:
*The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;
*The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;
*The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;
*The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;
*The right of every family to a decent home;
*The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;
*The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;
*The right to a good education.
All of these rights spell security. And after this war is won we must be prepared to move forward, in the implementation of these rights, to new goals of human happiness and well-being.
[font size=3]America's own rightful place in the world depends in large part upon how fully these and similar rights have been carried into practice for all our citizens.[/font]

Please note that the above are stipulated as Basic Human RIGHTS to be protected by our government,
and NOT as COMMODITIES to be SOLD to Americans by For Profit Corporations.
Like I said above, "Etched in Stone"!

I haven't changed,
and won't be changing in the near future.
These Clintonian "New Democrats" can go back to the Republican party where they came from.

“The day after we got married, we marched in a Memorial Day Parade, and then we took off in a plane to start the sister city project with Yaroslovl with 10 other people on my honeymoon.”
The context was obviously humorous. Who could possibly read that and come away thinking that she seriously meant that they honeymooned with ten other people who were implementing a sister city project? Well, apparently Weinstein and others of his ilk came away believing just that. Weinstein likely picked up the lie from uber-conservative John Fund who wrote an article for the National Review containing the same misrepresentation of Sanders’ diplomatic trip.

Mr. Sanders’s 1988 trip came as Mikhail Gorbachev’s policies opened up the Soviet Union to the rest of the world, prompting a wave of visits by foreigners of all political stripes and a surge in U.S.-Soviet sister-city pacts. Yaroslavl, a 600,000-person city with well-preserved churches and czarist-era buildings, buzzed with cultural activity and interest in the U.S.
“Our city, which was a very interesting bride, received various proposals from a number of American cities as suitors, including one from Milwaukee, but it didn’t work out with Milwaukee,” 58-year-old IT specialist Pavel Romanovsky said. “It turned out they were ‘bad boys.’ Sanders turned out to be a nice guy.”
Mr. Sanders had crafted what he called a foreign policy for the city of Burlington and made various trips abroad, including to Nicaragua and the Soviet Union.
In Yaroslavl, his delegation met local officials in between cruising the Volga and touring the churches and riverfront.
We are going to have to get used to wingnuts hyperventilating over the political labels attached to Sanders.
Check you facts before you post.
