Most of Central America needs to be paved over with barbed wire, electric fencing, dragons teeth, razor wire, and watch towers manned by marksmen.

Today while I was at the gym CNN was “reporting” on the Guatemalan election and said by electing this “progressive”, Guatemala took a step forward to “protect democracy”.

What is the attraction of the “hard left”, anyway?

They only make promises they never intend to keep, they have no record of success anywhere, and only stay in office through force of arms exerted upon the common population, who are deliberately prohibited the access to means of self-defense.

Now bananas will become scarce. Like Cuban sugar or Venezuelan oil.

He ran on the platform of “fighting corruption”. Welp, they’re in for a rude awakening.

That’s what I asked my son who just flew back from a mission trip there.

“Is there anyone left there....or do you need to start Stateside?”

I always had to laugh at “conservatives” who would say the illegals from Central and South America would vote for republicans because of their Catholic faith. As with most socialists they will ALWAYS vote for more socialism even after endless failures and misery.
