    Lol socialism.

    Venezuela Is Out of Food: Here’s What an Economic Collapse Really Looks Like
    http://www.activistpost.com/tag/economic-collapse


    This is funny, well it's not funny but it is funny. The socialist policies of the socialist gov of Venezuela are directly, undisputedly responsible for the complete collapse of their economy, and yet the socialist government of Venezuela's solution to the crisis is........ (drum roll goes here) more socialism. If the government of Venezuela was a doctor, that'd be like a doctor giving his patient cancer and then suggesting more cancer as the treatment for cancer. It's amazing how the liberal, enlightened mind is dysfunctional to the point of suicide.

    I have been watching Venezuela for the last few years. One thing that is going on there that is getting amazingly little attention here is the use of the courts to cripple the non-socialist party that just won the elections. The government is passing laws that say the incoming government can't change cabinet personnel and can't change laws passed by the socialists. It is quite impressive and should serve as an example of what we are not too far away from.

    Liberalism is a brain disorder and should be treated in mental institutions. It should, also, be an automatic disqualifier for any public office. After all, who wants a mentally ill person to make laws that govern you?

    Interesting article. I wonder how long it will be before the people take up arms and overthrow that government? (I know guns are illegal there, but where there's a will, there's a way.)

    Anyone who supports Hitlery or Bernie should be ridiculed profusely.

    I wish every socialist was forced to live in a socialist country, and never allowed to leave.

    If we get Bernie, or Hitlery, as President, your wish just might come true.

    Every voter for Bernie or Hitlery should have their home address recorded for easy locating. Once located given a one way trip to VENEZUELA , property seized and sold at value AND citizenship revoked. Yes that is right folks.....lovely socialist Venezuela. That way they can feel the stupid of their actions.

    Socialism as an economic policy has so many flaws it has to fail. The basic premise that everyone is equal is the most glaring flaw. In our Constitution, everyone is guaranteed equal opportunity, not equal results.

    As to Venzuela, their economy was so heavily based on oil priced at $100+ a barrel they can't survive at the present prices. Since some "experts" say we won't see oil prices at that level again for a decade or more, I expect things will get much worse there.

    Socialism, instead of allowing people to rise to their potential (no matter how high or low it is) pushes everyone down to the lowest common denominator (except for the rulers, they live pretty well). That people in an educated society such as ours would believe that they would be better off in a socialist country shows that we are not educated, we are indoctrinated.

    and the idiots that want socialism all think THEY will be the rulers.....


    that's what happens when everyone gets a trophy for participating and everyone is a winner, and if they do get their wish for socialism, they are all in for a very rude awakening

    I imagine politicians the wold over are watching events in Venezuela carefully, to see how far they can go in similar situations. The gov there has outlawed "hoarding", I can picture citizens turning each other in over a can of soup.
