Fairweather Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I've been posting articles regarding Chavez and his ever-tightening grip on Venezuela for years now and have been regularly poo-poo'ed by the usual lefty suspects here on this site. "But he's elected! He's for the people! He's better than what he replaced!" Yea, right. Any fool could have seen this coming - and those who didn't don't deserve to rant about any phantom menace they see here at home vis a vis George W Bush. Gimme a break. Willing idiots. You can't claim to stand for liberty and continue make excuses for "elected" dictators like Chavez - or claim not to have read the writing on the wall long ago. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6948872.stm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all really care. We hear that this fucker controls some of our oil now, in fact they are our 3 rd largest import country for oil. Isn't this dude like Ceasear Chavez's brother or something? Where is this f*ing rat hole anyway? I think I remember it from risk, it's by Irkutz isn't it? Kamchetka? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Do we like this guy? Of course not. Should we start a war or use subversion to get rid of him? No. We tried that with Allende and we got Augusto Pinochet. The US should avoid meddling in South American countries, as much as we'd like to.

And maybe you were with those freaks from Oregon who decided that everything in the storefront windows was free. Hell that democracy too, break windows and take what you want. Throw shit at Police. Don't think for a second the demostrators were inoccent. They wanted to be on TV. Difference is in China they shot you. Here most got away and the bad apples got let go.

Those people were intent on getting into restricted areas. Far as I'm concerned they were law breakers. Plus 95% of them were not even from Washington.
