1. They did so well after they screwed the elected President Lugo.

The Colorado Party has ruled since Stroessner seized power in 1954 with his coup, the same year the US overthrew the beloved elected progressive President Arbenz of Guatemala. In all that time, the ONLY breather the people of Paraguay had was the small stretch of time from sometime in 2008 to whenever in 2012 they overthrew the elected President Fernando Lugo.

31 years straight of that time Pres. Stroessner, Nazi lover, who gave haven to the grotesque, sadistic murderer, Dr. Josef Mengele from Germany's Auschwitz concentration camp, and they lived happily as racist clams while Stroessner conducted years of genocide against Paraguay's indigenous people, and forced some of them into slavery.

What a noble history. The U.S. supported Stroessner and the Colorado Party THROUGHOUT this living hell on earth for the poor, and our corporate media covered for them, never mentioning a word about how horrified they were that he had seized power and never let go for all those years while he slaughtered indigenous people, stole their lands, stole their children, turned them out as slaves for the white Paraguayans.

As far as they're all concerned, they just couldn't have done better. It's all A-OK as long as the European descended white Paraguayan citizens are wealthy and doing well, and the US approves mightily.
