For John, BLUF: This is a problem in Venezuela and it will reverberate up here in the US. We need to recognize it for what it is. Nothing to see here; just move along.
Why Won’t The Left Apologize For Backing Venezuela?
There is a good question. I see only one of two explanations. The first is that they don't yet realize that Venezuela is now a basket case. The second is that they are so blinded by their ideology that they believe that economic hardship is OK if there is socialist equality.There is a third view, which is that it is all President Obama's fault.
Here is a graphic I screen captured from a Democracy Now (Think Ms Amy Goodman) video from last week. They showed this protest sign twice. The suggestion is that we are not well viewed down in Venezuela.
But, I think that is just typical Latin American "blame the Gringo".
Then there is this from The Wall Street Journal:
Venezuelans, Facing Food Shortages, Rally Behind Vilified Conglomerate
That is to say, a conglomerate vilified by the Socialist Government of Venezuela.Hat tip to the InstaPundit.
