The left gives itself ulcers in its hatred of Pinochet, but, in the final analysis:
“Pinochet’s new government also implemented economic reforms, including currency stabilization, tariff cutting, opening Chile’s markets to global trade, restricting labor unions, privatizing social security, and the privatization of hundreds of state-controlled industries. These policies produced what has been referred to as the “Miracle of Chile”.
Yep, he smote the communists and gave Chile an unprecedented run at prosperity and modernity. And the left will never forgive him for it.
NOW we have a problem, the Eagles were great
Go ahead, torture me while I'm stuck here in the Hotel California, replying to your prejudicial post about the Eagles, and considering a Life in the Fast Lane. Go ahead, trash me all you want since In the Long Run, I'm Already Gone...
Yep, that's right bro, I'm just a Desperado on this thread.......
So what's that gonna leave you with bro, A Heartache Tonight? Probably not since your Lyin Eyes have already revealed that you've decided to Take it to the Limit.
Final advice: Take it Easy!
Oh, c’mon, you’re being a bit rough on a song from our childhood in the ‘70s. It’s not that bad.
Anything but....
Sunshine, on my shoulders, makes me..... barf.
Good for Pinochet. Commies SOBs deserved it. Amazing that guy could buy underwear with the size stones he had.
It was that bad for me. My Mom had pic(s) of me as a ~3 or 4 year old hitting my own head when that song was playing. Complete Tourette’s meltdown.
No, I’m not joking.
If I can find the pics, I’ll scan and email.
That’s OK, I’ll take your word for it. I’m sure I can think of some music that makes me go freaky-deaky, but I’m worried I’ll have it playing in my head.
Thanks; I’d have to finish going through Mom’s stuff to get them...not doing that yet...:(
Keep the freaky-deaky stuff out of your head; life’s less painful that way.
That would be in-humane
Ha! Wimps! If they were going for REAL torture, they’d play Kumbaya and The Barney Song.
Great post! History that needs to not die away.
I remember when Agosto Pinochet overthrew the commie Salvador Allende in 1973. I have admired him ever since not only for what he did for Chile, but also for the hateful evilness of his enemies here in the U.S.
Reading this story about “torture music”, I’m now inclined to think that Gen. Pinochet was not only a great man, but maybe just a way cool dude as well.
That’s like the store owners who drive away loitering gangbangers by blasting classical music at them.
Thanks; I was very young when he overthrew Allende (the first thing I remember is the bicentennial).
Viva El Cid! Nice history in that name as well!
Yoko Ono dubbed duet with John singing “Imagine”.
One eyed, one horned BLIND purple people eater.
blind?
It was FLYING, flying purple people eater
Not that I have ever seen purple people, its preferred food source
I can’t finish watching that. The video and song disturb me.
If interrogated with bad music I’d crack in 5 seconds.
Nor have I, but this comes close...
