I read an interview with a defector who said the most shocking thing was how much food was thrown away. A garbage can in South Korea would be a buffet in the north. Yeltsin wept when he toured a supermarket in Houston. Liberals want to throw all of this away.

There’s no reason for a famine in the U.S. except bad policy. If it ever happens that will drain the swamp, because they’ll all be massacred by starving Americans.

Never knew Boris Yeltsin had visited the U.S.

That he would weep at American abundance, though a member of the ruling nomenklatura elite for decades, with access to special stores and food sources, is telling in itself.

The MiG-25 defector Viktor Belyenko when touring an American supermarket near CIA headquarters in Virginia, was convinced it was a sham, a Potemkin village false front & nothing more.

It’s stories like this that make me give thanks to God that I’m an American. Comparing our lot to those in other countries greatly contributes to personal contentment.

Liberals look at the plethora of goods available in the west and hate it. They refuse to believe that socialism cannot work and believe that “right people” aren’t in charge..
