ACtually, we should be checking out the details of life in Venezuela. Its a blueprint for whats going to happen here in general. Of course our society is richer than that in Venezuela, so it will take longer, and the destruction of the money system will be more painful.

I would rephrase that a bit. The appeal of socialism comes from the desire to FORCE others to take care of them. Its not pretty and should not be tolerated.

The people who support Hillary are just stupid idiots. As Francisco says in AS, It IS a war out there and we need to take sides.

Not with the NSA out there spying on us, we wont. THE real purpose of the NSA is to protect the government from its own citizens.

Snowden is a hero, not a traitor.

and when I pay taxes, I am contributing to it. I am becoming more and more upset by this. One day I will just shrug and thats IT.

Of course. The purpose of socialism/communism/fascism is to give the people in power extra goodies at the expense of the other people.

There are some people who deserve to just be gone, one way or the other. Maduro takes his place among other dictators such as Hitler, Stalin, Saddam, and many others.

Besides being an immoral system, it just doesnt work, no matter where it has been tried.

Wishful thinking wins out over rational thinking. every time.

The appeal of socialism comes from the subconscious desire to return to the womb, where all one's needs are taken care of, and one doesn't have to think for oneself or lift a finger.

When will socialists get it that whenever this kind of "care" is made available, it always comes at a hefty price?

I think its like most things that depend on human nature to change - bottom has to be hit, and hit hard, to generate willingness to change. Some lefty document says something about taking over America by raising the water temp a little at a time so they won't notice till they're ( we're) cooked, as opposed to dropping into boiling water all at once which would get a swift reaction. Objective observation can confirm that has been happening.

Isn't Labor Day a socialist/ union created holiday ??
Or were you being sarcadtic and I'm too tired to have picked up on it ? I need some coffee too ! :)

Well, I'm glad that people somewhere are getting
some sense. I wish more were doing so here in
the USA.

Every time socialism fails, its advocates claim that it was not implemented correctly. Meanwhile, those suffering under it are condemned by the dictators who fostered it.

American libtards evidently think that Americans can pull off full blown socialism better than anyone else because that is how we once did good ole' American capitalism before we decided to socialist legislate the hell out of it.

when will we storm the bastille; 2 years or 4 years from now? it is just a matter of time.

The "Leftest" World is crashing down all around yet, America's haven't gotten the message yet.

Happy Labor Day weekend!

Hey thanks!

Hello Abaco,
We are on the same road to ruin...
By the way, it is your post so you should still be able to edit the heading.
Respectfully,
O.A.

........meanwhile in the US we move closer to that reality every time one of our politicians opens their trap. I've heard duck tape can repair almost anything.

When will the protest against federal government socialism erupt to block the streets around the US Capitol and to punish the US president, those who are responsible for the destruction of America?

I get no pleasure watching venezuelans wake up when the sheep in America are still feeding the Washington wolves.

Good news- that a major newspaper is reporting the massive hostility to the regime.
Bad news- there is no analysis or background. No mention I could see of the price controls or other government interventions that have caused disaster.

"Working OUT"....Didn't get my coffee yet...
