  • Whaaaaa?

    A right-winger legitimately wins an election in South America?

  • I guess we can say that Chile has moved on from Pinochet and went to the right, and that's a good thing.

  • @OpenInsanity Oh ya left wingers like Stalin, Trotsky, Che and Castro never relied on military coups, did they?

  • @andyottito and the most prosperous country to boot.

  • @abarzilai664 They have always been on the right, the left maintained a huge amount of pinochets economic policies.

  • @andyottito

    Fuck him. I heard his bitch military has been going around killing random civilians to meet quotas.

  • First off, I'm not going to expect you really know all about all the president's in the whole world. I'm going to assume you typed his name up and looked for any dirt on him on Google. In 2008 his ratings were at an all time high at 91%.. He has really done a lot for Colombia, by making it a lot safer than it was a decade ago. I've heard the scandals, but you're going to hear accusations against any president, that might or might not be true. If I read that Obama is killing teachers, is it true?

  • @andyottito

    Teachers and other civilians are also getting murdered. You should look into that.

  • @OpenInsanity

    Alvaro Uribe is pretty conservative and he's doing a pretty good job in Colombia and the people seem to really like him there.

  • @andyottito

    Whenever I think of conservatives in Central and South America, I always think of the death squads. I don't EVER wish to run into ANYONE calling themselves a conservative south of North America. It's guaranteed to result in disastrous consequences.

  • I'd say that Chile is probably the most conservative country in Latin America

  • For the longest time, right-wingers had to rely on military coups and dictatorships to gain power, such as what happened in Honduras.

    They really are pieces of shit.
