Allow Venezuela To Fail

Original Article

Posted By: Highlander, 5/11/2019 9:04:29 AM

Are we stepping on the same rakes again -- in Venezuela? Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently tweeted “My message to the Venezuelan people is clear: the United States stands firmly with you in your quest for freedom and democracy.” He also confirmed that the military option is on the table. In other words, the U.S. is ready to liberate the Venezuelan people from themselves. For those who suffer historical amnesia, it is worth pointing out, that the Venezuelans had democratic elections and they have chosen socialism.

Comments:

I am truly sorry for those that didn’t vote for Chavez nor Maduro, but for those that did: “Elections have consequences”

Another fine mess some Americans are aching to get involved with militarily...to what end? Another decade or two of nation building?

Latin America is bent on taking its resources and allowing the strongman du jour to rake off the best share, and using the rest to finance "socialism". Eventually it falls apart, chaos ensues, and the next strongman grabs hold for all he can get...all through free, certified voting to "restore democracy."

More free stuff, por favor, Senor.

He got part of it wrong. During the last election Maduro lost by 68% or more of the vote, but because he controls the illegal assembly, they gave him the election.

We could try and nation build, but given that there seems to be some genetic trait in people from countries in Central and South America to elect dictators as leaders, it really doesn´t make much sense. I mean it´s not like we haven´t given them an example to follow. We might get someone to run the country fairly well for a few years, but then the people fall into that need for a dictator, and we´re right back to square one.

Our efforts in Venezuela should be restricted to keeping Russia and Cuba out of there, nothing more. They are like jackals on a dead Wildebeest.

If Obama had refused to vacate the white house when Trump was elected, and he even if he got the house of representatives to vote with him on that, the people who voted him out would have to take action. We would not depend on another country to oust our vagrant ex-president who was acting illegally to hold power. The people of Venezuela have to rise up to demand that their vote is enforced.

"Atlas Shrugged" wasn´t just the title, it was the only solution available.
US doing Nation Building to fix Socialist Venezuela? Let´s not forget a Socialist is polling ahead of our President to be the next President of The United States. By the hard numbers we are more likely to save the Socialist dictator than replace him in the next term.

FTA:

America’s democratic aspirations for the region have been embraced by administrations of both parties. Unfortunately, security concerns and democracy have been in conflict. The United States has had a difficult time finding leaders who wouldn’t use democracy as a means to achieve their own dominance and treat it as irrevocable.

Venezuelans had democracy, but they failed to keep it


We must not send one American serviceperson to Venezuela. They must deal with this.

This writer believes sanctions should be removed. Would help the people more than any intervention.

He goes on:

We all have to absorb the historical lessons that socialism cannot be defeated -- it self-destructs. Therefore, we should not interfere with socialism while it is in the process of destroying itself.

When terrorists launch attacks after being trained in Venezuela, I doubt that America will even retaliate. Under no circumstances should we get involved. However, they can get involved with America. That´s the way it works.

I am for leaving the sanctions in place. Otherwise, we are not letting Venezuela fail. They are doing that by themselves.

Absolutely! Let the Socialistas have it- let the Venezuelan people learn a lesson- but, you do realize, when it gets down to little kids with knees like tennis balls and bellies like basketballs, showing up on our TVs, they will all get to come to America, vote in our elections and eventually be elected as Communists to our Senate and House of Representative. That is what this "fail" is really all about!

Let's Make Sure 'Obstruction of Justice' Is Properly Defined 2 replies

A line must be drawn. No longer can the phrase "obstruction of justice" be allowed to mean something obscenely different from what any fair-minded, free person knows it was intended to mean. In the minds of most, the phrase refers to blocking the discovery of truth, truth being the only legitimate basis on which appropriate redress can be made for some wrong that has been suffered.

How Disney bypassed God to preach the gospel of dreams coming true 6 replies

Disney may have colonised the imagination of the world´s children for the best part of 80 years, but - remarkably in one of the world´s most ostentatiously Christian countries - the entertainment company has done so without the aid of God, a new book points out.
The Gospel According to Disney: Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust, by Mark Pinsky, an American journalist and best-selling author of a similar book about The Simpsons, shows that the film industry´s most family-orientated entertainer has rarely mentioned God, and that such religious figures as there are in its animated films are almost entirely bad.

A Pinochet Could Help Venezuela 10 replies

One hears and reads comments to the effect that Venezuelans "asked for" what they have in the way of strongman government since they voted for it. This is a woefully shortsighted and uninformed view of what´s happening, and what has happened, in the northernmost country of South America. Hugo Chávez, as Barack Obama here, probably did win his first election reasonably cleanly and fairly. It´s not likely he won fairly after that, and it´s certain that Chávez´s anointed successor, Nicolás Maduro, did not win fairly in last year´s elections. We´ve seen this script wherever communism establishes a firm foothold.

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (WV) appears to have started to shift his views on the filibuster with remarks that he made on two news shows on Sunday morning.The shift from Manchin comes after he has repeatedly stated that he would not vote to end the filibuster, despite pressure from the far-Left. During the interviews on Sunday, Manchin repeatedly claimed that he was not open to ending the filibuster because he did not want to strip the minority party of their power in the Senate, but signaled that he was open to changing it.Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Manchin if he would consider “reforming the filibuster” if “Republicans

Pelosi’s HR1 bill a blatant power grab for Democrats 30 replies

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

Rep. Steve Cohen vowed to renew the push to remove former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s name from the bureau’s downtown Washington headquarters, according to an interview released Monday. Appearing on Yahoo!

The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters. Mr. Cohen said the impetus to revive the bid is the new movie, “Judas and the Black Messiah.” The movie details

“There must have been a moment, at the beginning, when we could have said –-no. But somehow we missed it.” Tom Stoppard The millions of Americans who were paying attention throughout the 2020 election campaign all became painfully aware of the fact that Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were slipping and slipping fast. His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man. Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
