But we’re kooks if we stockpile a few months worth of supplies.

"...too bad we can’t exile all the marxist professors down to Venezuela to let them live how they preach..."


You can say that again, CGato!
Many of these nitwits fail to see that under socialism they cannot own their "private" iPhone or shop for whatever food they prefer in a supermarket.
They also do not understand they do NOT get a choice of what kind of job they will do for the state, either.

are we not already a socialist country?....we have no constitution to protect us...

if the 50.5% want to take all the 49.5%'s land, valuables, children, money or body organs, they can VOTE it in....I'm not joking....

it will come to that...

This is what socialism is like in real life.

Too bad the young generation of dummies we have here don't see this and, more importantly, understand what they are seeing - what socialism leads to.

Watching and listening to what they have to say it seems that most of them have no idea what socialism really is.

Many seem think it has something to do with socializing or is a system of people doing social good for each other!

Products of our corrupt education system.

If Bernie finally gives into Hillary and the Clinton machine he should move there and run for President down there.

People get the kind of government they deserve.

The same thing is going to happen here.

The word apocalypse is a good description of the ‘fundamental transformation” Obama is peddling.

Wasn’t the Communist Party outlawed here in the U.S. at one time in history? I seem to remember that.

I would have thought that might be unconstitutional but ti turns out that you are right:

Communist Control Act of 1954

Wikipedia says that a lower court did rule the law unconstitutional, but apparently it is still on the books.

Socialist governments murdered 100 000 000 people in the twentieth century. Just think what they could have accomplished if only “the right people had been in charge”.

Please explore the equality that Chavez and Maduro have achieved. A true masterpiece of social equality!

If the Venezuelans are hungry, let them eat the socialists.

Look at the bright side. When Americans have to eat their pets too, there will be less calling us kooks.

OTOH, President Hitlery will say we *caused* the shortage by hoarding, followed by confiscation of that food, execution, and a bill for the bullet to our children.

Fall of 2017 sounds about right.

Every country south of our border is ruled by small groups of wealthy, powerful families. Those families own the banks (money), own all the land, control the military and have ALL the power as they are all the rulers...presidents, governors, generals, etc.

WHAT has changed? NOTHING: status quo.

That classifies as “Best Observation of the Day”.

And there are still idiots in the US that wonder why the gunning is working so tirelessly to take disarm us. This nation is an RCH away from being just like Venezuela.

I’m giving 2 to 1 odds that President Nicolas Maduro ends up hanging from a lamppost. 1.5 to 1 odds that Maduro is dragged into the street and gets a bullet in the back of his head. Even money that the SOB offs himself in his office.

I'd take you up on it if it were even money.
Maduro MIGHT have an escape plan as well. He KNOWS his opponents.
