They voted for Chavez once. I don’t believe that have had an “election” since then. Once in communists must be removed from office by force of arms.

Excellent video by Bill Whittle (about 4 minutes):

Thanks for sharing. It was very difficult to watch, but very informative. I wish every socialist loving American could see this.

It was sad, wasn’t it? Sigh. Socialism is the political equivalent of a perpetual motion machine. It is impossible, but...the lure is so great that otherwise intelligent people continue to fall for it.

Again. And again. And again.

I’ve read that Venezuela’s oil reserves are of some kind of inferior quality that’s not in high demand. IIRC is was something about high sulfur content.

When I was a kid in the '60s, my dad went to Texaco, Gulf, Mobil, but never Citgo. He told me they had inferior gasoline. That was before Venezuela was noted for anything other than being a member of OPEC.

Yeah I see a lot of people saying how great socialism is and it’s very frustrating.

Most welcome...Bill Whittle is one of the most eloquent conservatives out there...I watch all of his videos. They really resonate with me...
