Your photo of N vs S Korea is the best, unbiased rebuke of government controlled economies.

If the dumbocraps get elected, all Western civilization will look like that image of N. Korea. The global warming drum beat on almost every network and cable program was incessant this weekend. They will ride that global warming horse to defeat any advanced civilization that needs energy to prosper.

.....It appears that the Venezuelans who understand capitalism are coming to Florida......

These would be the Aristo’s, the rich who managed the economy to the detriment of the compasenas. They are responsible for Chavez eventhough they did not vote for him.

Only a leftist idiot could take the golden economic opportunity offered by a resource boom and foment food shortages. Akin to getting 10% on a 100 question true-false quiz, even a chimpanzee couldn’t do that - it takes skill and hard work to screw up on such a massive scale.

Even the people working night shift on squid boats have it better then the NKs.

It's impossible to rationalize socialism when it's put in such a simple statement as this picture.

“Communism probably does raise the standards of people who had absolutely nothing to begin with.”

How is that so?
If one goes from having little to loosing his liberty and
then his life, how is that so?

The only thing communism is good for is DEATH.


Hundred's of millions of lives and counting.
