This is really bad news for Chile... so they really want to become another Venezuela? Zimbabwe? Argentina?

I've seen it written a number of times that in recent years Chile has been on the upswing in terms of political and economic stability as well as overall prosperity.Electing a Spanish speaking Osama Obama certainly won't help one bit.

Actually, Chile has a free-market economic system. Their retirement plan would put ours to shame.

People in Chile just can’t stand prosperity and will fall for the socialist rhetoric all over again.

Chile was on my short list of countries to flee to when things became intolerable here.
That list may be getting shorter.

Socialists are drooling over Chilean’s retirement funds.
“We can do a lot of good with that! (he, he ,he)”
What fools people are.

This sounds lie the people of Chile are about to destroy their economic and social success story which has been a shining light in South America.

Very Christian, and one of the few countries that is developing at just the right speed. Downsides are the language barrier and of course being a little too close to the Muzzies for comfort... but hey, we have one in our WH now.

Maybe you should plan to stay and fight. Texas is as far as I’m planning to go. I’ll help dig anti-tank ditches when I get there.

The other big downside is being very close to Putin’s Russia.
