On the wrong track?
To the editor:
The Socialists vaulted to power in Venezuela in 1998 and now they won’t leave.
After Hugo Chavez rode a socialist wave into the leadership of Venezuela, the first thing he did was take away all the guns from private citizens. Since then, Maduro has changed the rules of the supreme court and packed it with his supporters. There really are no laws that can’t be changed to keep Nicolas Maduro in power forever. It is estimated, at this time, that the challenger received 30% more votes than the incumbent Maduro, but that does not matter in this Socio/Communist regime. The army has the weapons and while protesters are being killed by the hundreds, it will take an all-out revolution where many thousands will die to enforce the will of the people for new leadership.
The Socialist Democratic Party of the United States of America has enacted policies that can take our country in the same direction as Venezuela. Harris has outlined some of her policies on gun control but what will they be if she is elected? I suspect they will change dramatically once in power, just like her reversal will on fracking. Clearly, she was told to change her stance on banning fracking in order to pander to voters in Pennsylvania and other states sitting on shale. Once in power, who knows what she will be told to do and say? They want to change the rules of the Supreme Court because they didn’t like recent rulings from the highest court in the land, just like Maduro did.
It has only been 26 years since the people of Venezuela gave up their freedoms to a Socialist dictatorship and now, we can all see what they lost and how painful it will be to get those freedoms back. The most recent poll from MSN shows that 73% of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track.
Maybe it’s time for a change while we still have time to reverse the rush toward Socialism being led by the Socialist Democratic Party here in our country.
