    Peter Thiel got a standing ovation at the homophobic RNC. It's a mistake to assume the GOP hates gay people. They just dislike progressive gay people, which is most of them.

    Lol. Yes, people can't even buy toilet paper in venezuela because of the CIA. Thanks for clearing it up for me.

    Why Venezuela? Why can't people buy toilet paper in Venezuela but they can walk across the border to Colombia and buy it off the shelf? What makes Venezuela different? They didn't have this problem 5 years ago, at least not to this extent. The answer is right in front of your face, but you choose to believe stupid propaganda instead.

    Do you have a problem with followers of a candidate beating up protesters? If so, you're really complaining about the wrong candidate.

    Yes, California is a shining example of deregulation.

    They can't even produce oil, you idiot. It has nothing to do with what you claim, and everything to do with socialism. It's a story we have seen dozens of times, and yet you idiots on the left never fail to learn the lesson.

    Like in Sweden where they have no inheritance tax at all?

    Basically what you're saying is that black people are too dumb to succeed. A perfect example of progressive racism.

    If the government were to give everyone 10 dollars a month for basic necessities, you should expect the price of basic necessities to increase by 10 dollars a month.

    None of those countries are socialist. At best, some of them could be called a mixed economy. A generous social welfare system, does not socialism make. Stop pretending it does. Sweden for instance, has a lower corporate income tax, lower federal income tax, no inheritance tax, no gift tax, and less resrtictive trade rules than the US.

    Real socialist countries are listed here. None of them are shining examples of economies that should be emulated.

    Actually, because of the 1954 Immigration and Naturalization Act, the President can deny access to anyone he or she wants. Just like Jimmuh Carter did.
