"In a nationally televised broadcast Wednesday night, Maduro described bullet wounds sustained by government forces during protests and showed videos that he said depicted opposition protesters throwing stones and setting buses ablaze. "You think this is a novel? This is the reality that you with your hatred have created," he said. "If you don't like Venezuela, leave."" - CNN
As you know, Maduro is the socialist Venezuelan president who allegedly won the presidential election in 2013.
What do you think? Should people who don't love the government be forbidden from trying to change it, and just leave? |

I recall the dictatorship government of Brazil using a similar phrase as their motto.
That government doesn't exist anymore.
Food for thought. |

| Are you sure? I searched up the military dictatorship of Brazil and their motto was ""Ordem e Progresso" which translates into "Order and Progress." Doesn't sound very similar. |

Actually, I'm wrong.
The Brazilian motto has been Order and Progress since the establishment of the First Brazilian Republic.
The military dictatorship's slogan however, was "Brazil: Love it or leave it", which basically replaced the Ordem e Progresso motto, although it has still been officially kept since the fall of the Brazilian Empire. |

| It's the kind of mindset that should be integrated into the American education system. "If you don't like school, leave." It puts academically-dedicated students in a better position to learn, seeing as The No Child Left Behind Act largely took away honors classes in middle schools which resulted in a stagnating, hindered primary educational environment for many students that haven't reached high school level. |
