OK, for the sake of argument, let’s agree.

That being the case, then the corruption demonstrated by Obama officials in conspiring to commit sedition must be punished to avoid the destruction of the USA.

Boom!

A socialist system is inherently corrupt. That is a law of nature. The more government there is the more corruption there is. When ones actions must be be permitted and permission is based on anything other than market determination of costs and benefits then everything must be accomplished by pleasing the permitter.

Socialism REQUIRES corruption. Nothing can be done without greasing the palm of an administrator. That can range from mowing his lawn gratis to transferring large sums to his offshore bank or killing his obnoxious neighbor.

Corruption is endemic to South America socialism.

Those advocating socialism are pathological liars and idiots.

South America is corrupt, top to bottom.

Not really...Chile has for the most part escaped corruption. I lived in country for over 5-years, and I promise you, it is a BIG mistake to try and bribe a cop in Chile.

Unfortunately, what most of South America needs is a dose of what saved Chile...Augusto Pinochet.

“Why is there more wisdom on this site than on the republican side of congress?”

I would imagine the answer goes something like this. There are probably very few millionaires on FR. Congress, on the other hand, is stuffed with them. One thing I have noticed is that people who don’t shop for their own groceries, buy their own cars or struggle with a mortgage tend to be a bit disassociated with the reality the rest of us know intimately. If you live in a gated community and send your kids to private school, you simply don’t see the homeless, or deal with cops or crime. (On the other hand, the average FR guy probably can’t deal effectively with a hostile takeover. We are each specialized for the environment we inhabit.)

Utter garbage! Cambodian genocide denier, buddy of holocaust denies and excommunicated Jew (Chomsky is such a self hater that they excommunicated him) is trying to cover up for socialism as he did for the Khymer Rouge and the Nazis. What a surprise.

Corruption and socialism is not a great combination.
