This person says that the reason Chavez was first elected in Venezuela was because the country had been run for a 100 years by a minority of "Light-Skinned" Folks and Chavez began his first election campaign with the slogan " I am Like You " ..... Dark Skinned.

Here is a post that reminds us of how our filthy Cdn socialists are trying to RIG our elections!
Here is a disturbingly frightening reason to SHUN ANY sort of online response to the LIE-beral Mydemocracy website with its invitation to comment on the electoral reform scam that LIE-berals are running. You don’t have to give your name on the site-but as critics note-there is PLENTY of information that YOU MUST supply in order to post your comment. There is enough information available for govt to learn what street you live on and to use this information AGAINST you at a later date!
Govt routinely allocates resources-meaning CASH to various communities and parts of communities. Supply too much information of the wrong sort and LIE-berals will hold a GRUDGE and HOLD the money back!
Are you having trouble attracting new business to your town? It would be easier if you had govt help and a grant or two? But oh dear-your community is one that scorned the LIE-beral vote rigging scam that is proportional representation-call it PR-so NO business aid for you!
Is your hospital old and over crowed? Its so much easier to get govt help if you are a friend of govt! Meaning you didn’t sneer at PR! Or maybe your hospital is one slated to be closed down? Much easier to persuade them to leave it be if you are a FRIEND and willingly let LIE-berals RIG our elections!
Are you hostile to gravy train riding civil servants? Govt sometimes gives extra special Unemployment Insurance opportunities to their friends! Such as special deals for CAW. That would be the same CAW that got invited to set up those highly profitable cash machines also known as wind turbines-and screw any country folk who don’t want the things in their back yard! You can maybe have some little breaks too-IF you don’t bitch about Hogs!
And what happens if you get sick and need medical attention? And our RATIONED health care system is short of resources and the bean counters at your hospital ain’t likely to be generous to you if they become aware you think they are greedy Hogs!
And what of electricity costs? People living in the country are getting bombed on delivery costs even as LIE-berals spend our money to “cooperate” with private partners to install electric charging stations around Ontari-owe! LIE-beral friends buy electric cars and don’t mock LIE-beral green energy garbage-and they get almost free charging opportunities in exchange. And tough shit if you cannot afford an electric car yourself-you still get to PAY the subsidies for them! And if you bitch your electric bill may go HIGHER!
We live in a FREE society-one where we can think and speak freely. Except that our LIE-beral govt-which is bankrupt both morally and physically- has moved to a system of “picking winners and losers” to quote Dalton McGinty. And of course the winners are all LIE-beral friends and no doubt the privileged few who got to buy our Hydro stocks are quite grateful for the cash cow! I ask this: is it not increasingly DANGEROUS just how much power and control that increasingly desperate LIE-berals have over our lives?
LIE-berals have given up trying to run the economy as its clearly WAY too complicated for them. They are now trying to run our lives instead by telling us what we ought to want and what we ought to believe. And they take their methods from the old Soviet model-anybody who disagrees with the benevolent and kindly Party must be insane and not permitted loose in society! Mind control will set you free! Mind your manners and now and go tell LIE-berals what you really think of PR!
Socialism NEVER works out- as Margaret Thatcher pointed out: "the trouble with socialists is that eventually they run out of other peoples money"!
And- I think it was Teddy Roosevelt who pointed out that: "a LIE-beral is a person who will give away everything that he does not own"!
The sad reality is that socialists NEVER own up to the messes they have made! NDP moron Bob Rae blamed bankers for not letting him borrow enough money to make us rich! Socialists are utterly ignorant of things like interest charged- compounded and amortized!
In the case of Venezuela, the socialists 'gave away' everything to a select group of political leaders.
This socialism thing is starting to make it on my conspiracy radar more and more each day.
It's a few enjoying the good life while the rest of us pick up the tab...
Funny thing is that the younger kids are pushing for MORE socialism...

Here is an article illustrating the ugly mess that is left behind when LIE-berals offer rampant socialist privilege to their civil service union Hog pals- and offer up rampant capitalism to the rest of us!
Here is an article illustrating the kind of ugly mess LIE-berals are likely to be leaving behind them after the June 2018 election- and the best LIE-berals can hope for with that election is a minority govt! Who ever becomes the next premier of Ontari-owe- and who ever becomes next mayor of Toronto is going to have a series of very ugly fights on their hands! The article has some comments of my own in brackets):
Contract talks between TTC and unionized transit workers stalled.
By Kevin Connor. Published April 18, 2018. Updated: April 18, 2018 6:53 PM EDT
Filed Under: Toronto SUN/ News/ Toronto & GTA
Toronto transit workers say they are “disappointed” the TTC walked away from the bargaining table on Tuesday.
(Oh right- Toronto politicians are fully aware there is a municipal election coming up in October this year and they do not want to be seen selling tax payers out in a shameless effort to BUY civil service union Hog votes! Hogs rather screwed themselves in late 2015- just after Jackass John Tory was elected- he went to TTC works yard and announced $200 million dollars in new spending to repair TTC vehicles- announced it to the guys who would be getting all that work- and the idiots BOOed him! The work was nice- BUT WHERE IS THE NEW GRAVY! So Jackass John is playing his cards closer to his chest this time so TTC Hogs will not embarrass him! But once the October municipal election is over then the Hog Bribing CAN begin- and tax payers LOOK OUT!)
(ALL LIE-beral minded politicians want the Hogs to shut up and wait till after the elections! Once the world returns to normal- tax mad spendaholic LIE-berals can resume their idiocy! But union Hogs are getting very nervous- the tide is turning hard against LIE-berals and the cost of so many failed LIE-beral policies is MOUNTING! Hogs have become aware that the illegals that Our idiot Boy Justin is collecting faster than a crazy cat lady can round up strays- will be costing us BIG MONEY for years to come- illegals are hijacking the gravy that Hogs consider their own!)
The workers are asking the company to “return to negotiations and bargain in good faith,” the Amalgamated Transit Union Local 113 said in a statement.
(That phrase “bargain in good faith” is Hog slang meaning WE ARE YOUR PRIORITY! Decades of LIE-beral vote buying madness have created a generation of grossly entitled Hogs holding HUGE pension IOU`s issued by LIE-berals and Hogs have come to realize the IOU`s are WORTHLESS! We do not have the money to honour the mad LIE-beral promises- and never will! Hence the Hog rush to push for a better deal before things get even worse!)
(The price of fuel is rising so TTC buses will cost more to operate. The price of electricity is down- for the moment- but is set to rise again if LIE-berals have any influence- meaning street cars and subways will be more costly to run. Public patience with the utterly inadequate existing TTC service is reaching boiling point- with people well aware- thanks to Rob Ford actions - that we can pay for new transit OR we can keep shovelling goodies onto the Hog gravy train- but not both- and we do NOT like it that LIE-berals made GRAVY THEIR PRIORITY!)
(LIE-berals have badly wounded the Toronto housing market with changes to regulation and mortgage rate bumps- with more bumps possibly coming in future- meaning Toronto has a funding hole left by the sudden drastic drop in land transfer tax revenue! With the added bonus that China has now closed its doors to recycled material- meaning Toronto must now spend multi millions of dollars it does not have- to find some place else to dispose of recycled material! The capper to this crapper pile of bad news is that Ontari-owe is very close to the debt wall so simply borrowing more money is no longer an option! It is no longer business as usual at Toronto Silly Hall!)
The union — which represents 11,000 transit workers — says negotiations ended after they submitted a proposal to the TTC for consideration.
The ATU says it’s looking for the protection of benefits and pensions.
(“Protection of benefits and pensions” the union whines! AS I said- Hogs are holding WORTHLESS LIE-beral IOU`s that they are frantic to get LIE-berals to honour- at least in part- BEFORE the general public realizes how much fiscal MESS we really have and the real fiscal storm hits!)
The TTC has applied to the Ministry of Labour for conciliation to reach a collective agreement.
If that is unsuccessful, the collective agreement will be determined by a mediation-arbitration process.
(And it is very UN-LIKELY that it will be tame friends of LIE-beral party on the arbitration committee in the foreseeable future! This time around any arbitrator who shows up is likely to be a fiscal attack dog snarling WE CANNOT AFFORD THAT- SO GET BACK TO WORK! Desperate LIE-berals do not wish to be seen publicly licking the boots of greedy Hogs in exchange for votes!)
The TTC said in a release it is committed to negotiating “affordable contracts” with its unions and contracts have been negotiated and ratified with unions representing machinists and transit enforcement employees union.
The TTC is deemed an essential services, meaning workers can’t strike and the company can’t lock them out.
(Of course LIE-berals are infuriated that union Hogs would kick up a fuss at this very critical time! LIE-berals are fighting for their lives and frantic to avoid seeing ALL their policies consigned to the trash heap of history where they belong! One has only to look at the |York U. strike which LIE-berals are studiously IGNORING! Hogs carfully waited till the school year was nearly dobe- so they would not run into conflict with kids- and they struck in what they thought was in good time before the election- and now- nothing! Wynne-bag is in so much trouble she cannot even send this mess to arbitration since she cannot sell out and have her fiscal record further blemished and cannot attack the union without losing votes- so she is silent and will do nothing till after the election- and asI have said– if LIE-berals do win in June they will go on a rampage of looting and pillaging to pay for a small part of their MANY promises!)
(The last thing that LIE-berals need right before an election is the public watching as Hog unions shove a stick up LIE-beral leaders back sides and use them like nasty sock puppets! The public is already utterly outraged at how much gravy LIE-berals shower on their special friends and LIE-berals figure their election chances will improve if they PRETEND to talk tough with Hogs- for a little while at least! It all LIE-beral posturing and all their sound and fury signifies NOTHING- except MORE GREED!)
