I'm sure Jimmy Carter is on his way to endorse the Communistos.

Like half the US and like half of the world.

I dunno. I am disinclined to hand this great country over to ANY foreign entity. Maybe it is just me. Someone on another thread said that I should either halve or double the Prozac dosage. Since I am not sure, I will continue to call for the U.S. military to overthrow the entire corrupt Mexican government. It is the only way to be sure.

"Yes, it's about to turn violent in Mexico. Communists have not changed that much since Mao said, Every good Communist should know that political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. The Communist party must control the guns.
Communists tried to take Mexico with the vote, and they lost. Now they will revert back to what has worked for them before, and that is violence."
If they try this, we must assassinate AMLO. We must do everything in our power to prevent a communist state on our southern border. Anyone who has seen "Red Dawn" knows why.
To: MinorityRepublican
Beginning of the Mexican Civil War? How would we know? Maybe 12-20 million economic refugees would violate our border. Wait a minute.......
that has already happened. Well, perhaps the Mexican currency would collapse......
That has already happened three times.
I know, the Mexican government might blame the bad yankee gringos for all of their problems, and incite the population to participate in a "popular uprising".
Yeah, that's the ticket.

Lopez Obrador is a Marxist. Everybody know that is the truth. The MSM is trying to play down this election like it never happened. But Mexico is leaning towards the Marxist Zapatistas. The entire country is in the pockets of the cocaine cartels. It is only a matter of time until a revolution takes place or the Zapatistas take control through the ballot box.

Before you consider the idea of investment, look into the "land reforms" that Mexican President Cardenas instituted in, I think, the 1930's (when Communism made its most successful reach into the world). Echeverria and others modified the system over the years, but the socialist concept of collective land ownership persists today.
Socialist/communist in nature, the Cardenas land reforms are why people grow strawberries and lettuce in Arizona and Texas, and avocados and almonds in California, hiring Mexicans across the border, rather than grow them in Mexico. Profits must be shared in each ejido (collective parcel) and in many cases with adjacent ejidos. The system (shockingly) is also corrupt in many's opinion.
In my opinion, the "reforms" are the major reason why Mexicans cross our border looking for opportunity (we don't have socialist "reforms", at least not yet, and are the land of hope, opportunity, and wealth). It is next to impossible to turn an investment into profit in Mexico, and you always run the risk of having it taken from you if you are successful.

Here's one reference, there are lots of others- search on Mexican Land Reform and you'll get more.
In my humble conservative opinion, Mexico must shake off the yoke of socialism and introduce the capitalist idea of private property and private investment- then their economy can grow, and a Mexican worker can earn a decent wage picking strawberries or running a Bridgeport or owning his own business IN MEXICO.

One of my all-time favorites!
Obragore had the protests planned before the vote. That's what he does. If Calderon hangs on, Obragore will still be playing the street theatre game to mess things up. Right out of the playbook.

Thanks. You are preaching to the choir with me, yet it is great to get information out to the build-a-wall crowd.

You are getting 'wordy' like some other people I know, lol.

The drive-by media does it again. Mexico City has almost 30 million people. If there were 280,000 and even if 400,000 it's a total joke. A whopping 1.3% (if there were 400,000) of the population of Mexico City turned out to scream and holler. Of the 41,000,000+ who voted...it is only .975% of those who are protesting. Boo hoo!

The nice thing about a choir is that many voices in unison makes a lot of noise.
I'll blow A440 on the pitch pipe, then a-one, a-two-, a-three....
