Not even about politics at this point. No reason for mankind to be suffering like this in a developed country.

If we run in and overthrow the government, people will scream it’s a grab for oil. But these people need help. They weren’t near this bad off not too long ago.

Refusing aid needed to feed your people because of a hate for the country giving it. Funny how the Maduro government claims to represent the poor when policies such as this are killing the very people he claims to represent.

But yet the US is the bad guy despite the fact that no one else in the world offers aid like we do.

According to Ralph Wiggum they were doing socialism right.... until all the food and medicine ran out, now they're doing it wrong.

Now I understand it.

I could never figure out why a lot of folks wanted to give a 75 year old man who is one of the brokest members of the Senate and could barely accumulate 2 nickels to rub together in a lifetime the keys to the economy.

He's selfless.

It was just a few years ago that Chavez was a hero of the left wing establishment here in the USA because he talked a lot of shite about Bush.

Liberalism truly is a mental disease.

"These days, the American dream is more apt to be realized in South America, in places such as Ecuador, Venezuela and Argentina, where incomes are actually more equal today than they are in the land of Horatio Alger. "

Madura should be able to run the country with his background. He is former bus driver.

Some countries elect community organizers. Both better than business acumen.

Not long ago Venezuela was the shining gem of South America. Now a dictatorship.

He still is a hero. The mentally ill Democratic party still pushes for the exact same agenda that Chavez did just a few years ago.
