Please don’t go! You are read internationally too, although you may seldom hear from us. Up here in Canada there aren’t many conservative specialists on Latin America we can reference, from original Spanish-translated documents.

And if you think Obama and the Dems are “Marxist”, then you ain’t seen nothin’ yet — the Left opposition Parties in Canada are so radical they make Obama look like a veritable Ronald Reagan! Although Canada currently has a conservative government and an excellent growing free-market economy, most of our State bureacracies and media are in fact controlled by the far Left.

Canada essentially lives under a “Marxist bureacratic dictatorship” in most areas except the economy. It’s right out of the post-Soviet Sandinista/Bolivarian revolutionary playbook. I draw valuable instructive comparisons from Latin America as a past resident there, and a former Reagan “freedom fighter”.

Very selfish of me, but people like me need your Latin American news!

I hear you, girl. We’re all at the end of our strings. Between the stress of my girl going to LI for grad school and then getting caught in Sandy and the election, I’m emotionally exhausted and haven’t slept through the night in two weeks.

Just take some time off to recharge and pick back up after the first of the year.

That’s what I’m considering. The kids will be home from school. We will have a very small and modest Christmas and hone our stock up/survival skills (ha).

But FWIW, don’t stop the Carnival. You know my Spanish sucks.

Keep in touch!

My advice is to follow your heart and passion. I particularly enjoy and value your coverage of South & Central America. Few have the background, knowledge & perspective that you have.

As my friend Keith Martin said “Those of us from the TEMS chat room will always be there for you.” For once, he’s right.

Whether you keep going or no, I appreciated very much your postings on politics. Yours was the only sane voice when I was trying to tell people that US policy was hurting Honduras for a non-coup and that children had died because of the Justice Dept. wanted to make anti-gun points.

Estoy de acuerdo with the person who said you could rest and then come back when you’re ready. You are a clear, good voice in a medium that is full of lies and manipulation.

Fausta, you are more main stream than either the president or the media. You stay.

Good luck to you in whatever direction your free will takes you.

Your voice is important and I pray you just take some time to rest, but return to make all our days. Have faith + stay strong!

I have been wondering what to do about the current situation in this country. I don’t have to repeat here what you already know so well. Sure take a little “me” time, perhaps a little spa treatment to work out the kinks. But there is another way to look at it, be the fly in the ointment. Toss that monkey-wrench into their machinery. For me, giving in to them is akin to unconditional surrender. They will attempt to sweep all of the problems under the rug, me along with it. To keep my mouth shut and take it.

Not this boy. I will not surrender.

Hang in there, Fausta. You’re not alone in your feelings and frustration. I was thinking this yesterday, but have started to get glimmers of inspiration today (especially after some rest). Take some time to rest and do some things you enjoy, then join the fight again when you’re rested and inspired, that’s what I”m planning to do and I hope to fight alongside you in that bunker.
