Biography of a Bernie Sanders Failed State
Canada Free Press ^ | 05/14/16 | Tim Dunkin

Posted on 05/14/2016 10:29:08 AM PDT by Sean_Anthony

Under Bernie Sanders, the United States of America would become a failed state such as Venezuela

If nations could have biographies, Venezuela’s would read something like this: After a rocky adolescence, Vennie got his life straightened out, got an education, a good job, and lived a fairly comfortable life. However, in his dotage, he was suckered by a succession of con artists and blew through all his savings, ending his days penniless and bitter.

That, in a nutshell, is pretty much what Hugo Chavez and his socialist caudillo successors have done to the country. By Latin American standards, Venezuela used to a prosperous and stable nation. Venezuela possesses one of the largest petroleum reserves in the Western hemisphere, and also contains substantial reserves of bauxite, iron ore, gold, and diamonds. It was largely free from the drug cartel-inspired crime waves that wracked her neighbors like Colombia. The country possessed a vigorous, well-educated middle class, and for decades had the highest per capita GDP in South America. The nation was also home to a fairly substantial amount of heavy industry and was able to supply many of the domestic needs of its own population.

“Suckered by a succession of con artists”

Here’s the truth of con games.

“You can’t con an honest man.”

The majority of people in Venezuela wanted to be conned. They thought they could benefit from it. The con men were going to give them free stuff!

For a while.

Then the bill comes due.

Now, they’re eating their shoes in Venezuela.

I would be willing to give them some aid if they would send some regular citizens to come and talk to our university students and professors at a mandatory briefing that every student and professor had to attend.

Any country that runs out of beer and toilet paper is a failed state.

“The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.” Margaret thatcher, hillary clinton could not clean her toilet!

We are on the same path. Europe is ahead of us.

There is something garden of edenish about it.

I still don’t understand how a woman who is a leftist, pretending not to be one lost 20 primary contests to a 74 year old professed leftist who is one.

What the little lemmings don’t understand is without the super delegates, the ones who confirm the election is rigged, Hilarity is only 150 delegates up on Bernie. He wins California, she is done.

That is very true. I can almost guarantee Bernie takes WA, and wouldn't be surprised if he takes CA.

THEN what?

Hillary still probably wins with the super delegates.

Which will piss off the entire dem base.

Hillary won't drop out, and she'll almost HAVE to take Bernie as veep.

Strange days indeed.

There is a huge amount of bad blood already among Bernie supporters, who literally hate Hillary.

Almost as much as they hate Trump.

People who read about politics are being presented with many false and unimportant issues in order to distract them. Your attention would be better spent on exercising your privacy rights and right to start a small manufacturing business. Otherwise, you will have no political influence.

Traditionally, countries are feminine.
America...her borders.
The -a in Spanish typically designates a feminine noun.
But....it’s El Canada, no?
