More From Glenn …
All these countries are just sitting there like wolves waiting for us to fall. Hugo Chavez is not knocking the stimulus plan because he wants Capitalism to fail, he is knocking it because in his Communistic/Socialistic mind he thinks it will save Capitalism. Capitalism is not failing all on it's own. It is failing because it has been over regulated. Several times, the market has already attempted to correct itself. If the government does nothing more, the market will continue to try to correct. How funny, I want our Government to listen to Hugo Chavez..
Now, that is a scary thought.
HERE'S A MESSAGE FOR BOTH BO AND HUGO;
"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it." – The late Dr. Adrian Rogers , 1931 to 2005
Hey Freedomwarrior, did you figure out the long post thing? Let me know.
A real patriot admits a mistake. You are a patriot. I also admit that a stiff drink might make me feel better about the crap going on in our nation but it is better to eat M&M's while posting.
Thank you, from one patriot to another.
Does anyone remember a few years ago when Chavez offered free heating oil to folks in New England and they turned him down!? I hope it's a true story. In any case, that's the kind of courage we need in this country. Chavez is an evil man who wants to bring down the U.S. Period. We have to see him for what he is … EVIL. The people who turned down his offer for heating oil knew what they were doing! Bravo!
Unfortunately the media don't get it but as long as we all keep talking, keep pointing out evil, these leaders will be put down. Eventually. It will take patience and perserverance on the part of us all.
I too thought you were risking making Obama a marter and was about to write a long scholarly dissertation about how LBJ passed the great society bills by saying that is what JFK would have done. Oops! My bad.
As for killing Hugo we should ask what Regan would do. Better yet ask Manuel Noreaga what Regan did.
I deleted the post due to not wanting anyone to think as you and I don't how many other may have thought I was referring to harming the President. I will be crystal clear about this I do not agree with anything he has done so far and have zero confidence in his ability to lead this country. The last thing in the world I would want is for someone to attempt or succeed in hurting my President. I can't begin to think of the complications that would cause this country. As far as the original subject, Chavez something has to be done about him. He meets with Russia, Iran and Cuba to agitate our enemies and rattle the confidence of our allies. Now he wants to push the reset button, why? Maybe he saw the way (as I predicted) Obama handled the recent No. Korean issue, all smoke no fire. From now on I will refrain from posting after a late night of drinking.
The article is hilarious- Obviously a socialist like Hugo Chavez hasn't a clue how real economics works because he doesn't realize that capitalism will survive the current slowdown and emerge more powerful than ever. In fact, the bailouts only made the issue worse, propping up companies that needed to reorganize, using the funding to justify control. Indeed, America would have been much better off had the government gone on vacation for the last half of 2008 and the first half of 2009 instead of voting on the abortive bailout and subsequent boondoggles.
WHAT ARE WE WAITNG FOR?
Everyone, we need to organize this group and leverage the momentum Mr Beck has started.
We need:
Board i.e, President, Vice, Secretary, Treasurer, etc…
Committees and chairs for different initiatives for the project
A fund and a manner to contribute
A link to the website that we can forward to our friends and family with a 10 minute intro about what we are trying to accomplish.
As a retired Marine and current General Manager for a distribution company I believe structure is required to obtain results. We have to chart a course and start pulling the government back to where our Freedom is paramount!!!
It should be done on a local, state, regional and national levels.
It may be easier to organize on the state level first and work from there.
1) The leaders at the state level could develop a plan to run an activist network within their states.
This would be done with the input of members of their states.
2) Each state would send representatives to regional and national meetings. These reps should be selected in a way similar to that of a jury. That way everyone has the opportunity to participate, and it also limits the amount of politics within the organization.
3) We have to find a way around the normal disagreements that come with something like this. We need to focus on getting things done rather than spending what limited time and resources we have in resolving disputes and negotiating points of interest. Basically, we need to show show the political elitists in Washington how to go about doing their jobs the correct way..
The goal with my post was to start the dialogue. We need a thread put up so we can start working towards these goals.
So how is it that if something were to happen to Hugo Chavez Vice President Biden would fall ill and the Speaker of the House would access the Presidency? Is there something in the Constitution that state if the leader of Venezuela dies the US President forfeits the position to the Vice President?
Now I had a little too much tequila in me when I posted that and I really wouldn't want to see Chavez killed, if he was to choke on Lengua de Res I wouldn't lose any sleep over it either. So quick tip, read the article and the contrast of the post before you put in your two cents.
John McCain Spent About Six Years As A POW In The Hanoi Hilton. NO He Would Not Rub Elbows With Terrorist Countries. He Was Military And Came From A Military Family, His Father And Grandfather Were Four Star Admirals! I Believe It Would Be Safe To Say That He Is Loyal To His Country, The U.S.A. I Also Believe It Would Be Safe To Say That He Would Be Doing A Better Job Than Obama Right Now!! And He Would NOT Be Doing Everything He Could Possibly Do To Cause This Country To Fail!!
Chevez shows more sense than Prez BO… Here is why…
Prez BO is trapped in a gultch with three horses… Two of the horses are very tired, can't get up and are ready for the glue factory…
( they represent GM and AIG )
Which one does Prez BO choose to ride out to safety ( with your money )?? One of the afflicted horses of course…
Chevez then rides the good horse out to profits… ( Citgo )…
Chavez is at least better at capitalism than Prez BO plenty…
Parables anyone??? Let's face it, BO is dumping America to ayers, sorrows, and the pinkos delight…
Wait till they wake up from their stupor and see NO golden geese left… Then it's free for all, by golly!!!
What does his u.c.c. warrantee say about this???
Bonus question: How few billion would it have taken to start drilling for oil in ANWR, offshore, and in shale???
DUH???
I tell you, BO, bella lugosi, and dingy harry hate this country…
I would like to take this opportunity to ask all my fellow 912'ers the following question seriously;
When BO made his speech to the people of Germany during the campaign Angela Merkel had a closed door meeting with BO for all of 5 minutes but would not be seen with him nor attend his speech.
When BO went to the G20 conference Angela Merkel would not work with him at all nor be seen with him as much as possible.
Now, I ask you, does Angela Merkel see something that 52% of America didn't as a nation? Maybe because she may be old enough to remember, or, accurate German History tell's her to stay far away from this guy?
Does Angela Merkel feel she is seeing an Instant Replay?
I believe she does and for some reason I trust her judgement!
Chancellor Merkel is a conservative and does not agree with Obama's principles. Interestingly, Germany and France have swung to the Right while Britain and US swung Left (ideologically speaking.) Germany and France are still more socialist than the US, but who knows what will happen to them in the next decade?
"To preserve our blessed land we must look to God….It is time to realize that we need God more than he needs us…. Let us, young and old, join together as did the First Continental Congress, in the first step, in humble heartfelt prayer. Let us do so for the love of God and His great goodness, in search of His guidance and the grace of repentance, in seeking His blessings, His peace, and the resting of His kind and holy hands on ourselves, our nation, our friends in the defense of freedom, and all mankind, now and always.
The time has come to turn to God and reassert our trust in Him for the healing of America… Our country is in need of and ready for a spiritual renewal. Today, we utter no prayer more fervently than the ancient prayer for peace on Earth.
""The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace…." And God bless you all,"
President Ronald Reagan
FROM A SPEECH TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE,
February 6, 1986
Actually we are headed down the same path as Venezula. More and more people are feeding from the trough being led to the slaughter because of welfare, illegalization of illegals, income redistribution, socialist medical health care or any program that will suck in the stupid and use their votes to keep such freebies. Tunnel vision at it finest, and the oligarchy are controlling those who will become the majority. This is why we have moved from being a Republic and nation of laws, and become a democracy, ruled by mob. Next to fall will be electoral college voting so that the little people will have their voices stopped. Chevez planned his moves by handing out freebies to the electorate and then taking over a government using his military to maintain his power and crush the opposition. It coming to a place near you! Right now you have the choice to stop it. Rally, Tea Parties, Independence on the fourth of July and vote out all encumbents in three election cycles.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
END OF STORY!
Very well said. Those words might mean as much now as when they were first written. What scares me most but makes the words even more relevant to today is the knowledge that the majority of American citizens do not recognize that quote.
I am fairly new to politics and am trying to learn but there are still a lot of people that still support Obama. America voted that they wanted change and they got it. What do you think the diference would of been if Mcain had won?
For starters we would have saved about $ 1.4 trillion between the stimulous and that stupid omnibus spending packages. Look, McCain was not my first choice but at least I feel he would have been held in check by conservative congressional leaders. He also would not have thumb his nose at the voters. There is a reason why Obamas numbers are starting to tank. His arogance.
McCain isn't a wimp. He's wouldn't think of rubbing elbows with terrorist countries and then closing Gitmo. He's far more mature and would in no way say America is arrogant.
Thank you for your insight. I need as much information as possible to argue with these liberal whack jobs that think what Obama is doing is right. One person commented that the trillion dollars that was just printed started in the bush admin. He said you can't just print a trillion dollars all in one day.
I collect DVD's and threw out Glover movies and Kevin Spacey who happens to be one of my favorite actors but I did it anyway. These people can be stopped by the wallet. Refuse to go and see their movies or buy them and eventually they will go away.
I have one question? How did you get this long of a statement to post without having to break it down. I am PC illiterate and would like to know and would appreciate your answer. Its driving me nuts…LOL
That is why he loves Obama. They both have the same agenda.
I say, let Hugo talk, he is good at the BS. But look at his country after he took control, there is wide spread shortages of almost everything. As for his crude oil production, since he took control, has dropped dramaticly. Why? Because he isn't doing the necessary maintanence. The type of crude oil that is produced in Venezuela is called "Sour Crude Oil", and it contains Sulfur! There are only a few Oil Refiners in the world that can refine Sour crude profitably, and they are in the USA. Unless he knows something we don't, he is forced to sell it here!
I think we should burn our food and let him eat oil!
Isn't this the same hugo chavez that was begging oil companies to come back to Venezuela and help with the companies he nationalized? He ran the companies into the ground making them take their profits and hand out charity. No money is going back into the companies and all the equipment is breaking down.
This festering pustule on the hindquarters of humanity needs to be excised along with Kim Jong Il and Admadinejad. The longer we put up with and ignore these three little cancers of humanity the more their disease will spread.
I do agree with Chavez in that the IMF and the world bank are partly responsible for the economic crisis.The real cause of the problem is the restriction of capitalism.The G20 are just compounding the problem through more restriction.The real solution is to free capitalism in order to let the markets correct themselves.The more they socialize capitalism the less productive the market will be.
Install the "Fair Tax" and abolish the IRS and you'll see an economy that is smoking!
YES, exactly. Get governments out of the way so the free markets can operate. Prime Example #1: Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were abominations to the housing market and subverted it, thus the pickle we're in now.
Chavez and his buddy Imanutjob, are right in that the capitalist nations have a lot of blame in the current world economic problems, but they are wrong about the reasons. We did not cause the problems by using capitalist and freedom methods. We caused it because we stopped.
It looks like Hugo hit a home run with a crooked bat. Yes, we are certainly to blame. We are to blame because we are listening to people like Hugo instead of free market capitalists.
We do have some blame here in that our own countrymen elect the people that caused the housing crash.Namely Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and Chuck Schumer. Notice is that they are all east cost nut jobs!
Make sure we all Remember who supported this Hugo Chavez moron. All those Liberal Hollywood Losers who hate America won't be getting my money ever again nor will Citgo. Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Kevin Spacey, Harry Belafonte, violent Naomi Campbell, and Oliver Stone. I hope these people lose all their fame and fortunes. Some are on their way already….
Sounds like the same supporter list as BO? Believe me when I say that all the money BO raised did not all come from America.
Simple logic call's for that if Hollywood supports a candidate America should go the other way.
This isn't anything new or surprising. Now if Hugo said I want capitalism to flourish, then that would be news worthy. I don't even see why our media even pays attention to this idiot.
Unfortunately, he is a very dangerous man . My husband is Bolivian and Chavez has literally made the new Bolivian socialist President Evo Morales his puppet. 90% or more of the population of these countries is indigenous – hard working, wonderful people but largely uneducated in the ways of the outside world. When a charismatic leader comes along and promises them the world on a silver platter, they fall for it hook , line and sinker. Their loyalty can be bought, then it is armed and voila you have a military force. One by one the SA countries are moving toward socialism and control of the masses by a treacherous few.. Plus they have vast natural resources. Plus many countries in S.A, are harboring Al Qaida training camps. We cannot brush Hugo off lightly. We must keep him in our sights and watch closely how things develop in SA.
Chavez is using Rush' talking points. Weird. Never thought I'd see the day I'd agree with what that man said. But, for different reasons (the desire for the failure of capitalism on his part, the fear of the failure of capitalism on ours) Chavez and we are saying the same… more ridiculous spending to try to dig themselves out of the mess they got themselves into (they being our wonderful government).
My sister lives in San Pedro Sula (for the past 30 years). She had to terminate telephone connections two months ago because thugs were using phones to issue death threats for extortion. But I heard the same from her about the electricity, except the American company part. There is definite anti-American sentiment down there.
I do agree that with Chavez in that the IMF and world bank are partly responsible for this crisis.The real problem is that capitalism is slowly turning into socialism.When is last time we truely had capitalism?The G20 solution is to restrict capitalism further which will cause more economic problems.The real solution is to unrestrict capitalism,to allow the market to correct itself.
An open letter to President Obama and Speaker of the House Pelosi:
Dear Sir and Madam,
I do not understand the actions you are taking as your leadership takes the United States and the world down the road to socialism. Your efforts are half-baked in my opinion and it seems as if your feelings for the little man/woman are not firmly placed in your hearts.
If your feelings for world socialism are real, you would ask Putin's Russia to take over Europe and assist Russia in doing so. You would encourage China to annex neighboring nations including all of Korea and Japan and parts of the middle east, and of course, Taiwan. You would encourage China to also annex all of the Pacific islands, including Australia. You would encourage all countries in South America to succumb to the will of Hugo Chavez and his socialist agenda. Speaker Pelosi and President Obama, you would annex Mexico and Canada and create Mexamericanada.
As for the continent of Africa, we all know that Africa isn't capable of living in a socialist world. No matter how much aid we socialists send to Africa, many parts of that continent are in continual chaos. If you really care about Africans, you would just quarantine the area and allow the people there to die in peace, if not pieces.
Please President Obama and Speaker of the House Pelosi, if your dreams of socialism cast the world over are real, please go all in. The world will be a better place.
Of course, this is an absolutely absurd open letter to two such fine examples of human beings such as yourself Mr. President and Madam Speaker. The two of you would never allow Putin to expand his power or allow Chavez to expand his power or the Chinese to expand their power.
No Mr. Obama and Speaker Pelosi, this is all about the expansion of your own power. It is about the expansion of your own power over the little people. It is about your egos, greed and narcissism. Neither of you are interested in spreading socialist power around the world, you both are interested in spreading your individual power by attempting to stifle the power of the individual. It will not work the way you have envisioned it Mr. Obama and Speaker Pelosi.
Your actions, this worldwide grab for power will only result in worldwide conflict. Mr. Obama and Speaker Pelosi, do you honestly believe that other world leaders with the same egotistical, narcissistic tendencies will allow you to take over the world? Do you think other socialist leaders with the same lust for power will willingly share that power with you? Surely you both realize you are barking up the tree of World War III.
It is clear that you are both fools Mr. Obama and Speaker Pelosi, whether you realize it or not. Hitler gained great popularity for a very short time, relatively speaking. Unfortunately, Hitler caused the world great damage in that relatively short period of time. Hitler was a fool of immense proportions.
With all due respect President Obama and Speaker Pelosi, one can only speculate how much damage your foolishness will bring to the world. Judging by how fast the two of you are acting and to the degree you are acting, it clearly will be damage the world has never known.
Good luck with that!
Lawrence Williams
opinionist, you said it the exactly the way I feel. Venezuela once was a free country until the devil himself
got in. We are going down the same path as they did. King obama wants total control not only of the USA,
but he is trying to become master of the human race. If there is an antiChrist, then it is surely him.
Good post Islandsox, but I disagree on one point. Queen Speaker of the House and King President are behaving as if they aren't aware there IS a Constitution of the United States. Most of the dem half of the demrepubs seems to be making it up as they go along. The repub half of the demrepubs acts as if it doesn't know whether it should @#$% or go blind.
(For those of you who are infected with liberal political correctness, don't worry, I censored myself. I sure as heck wouldn't want to offend anyone caught up in being wussified in the wussification of America.)
Thanks, Islandsox.
I am sure he would love to see the end of capitalism. He could use a few more slaves.
hugo chavez , I was going to use capitals letters as the good nuns taught me but this clown is not worth the ink. I apologize to clowns.
Here we go 912'ers; http://www.marchforliberty.org/marchdetails.html
Washington DC Protest permit has been issued. Join in 912'ers
Have you ever wondered recently why many of your Democrat representatives have not scheduled town hall meetings or issued position papers? Perhaps it is because those representatives don’t want to address their constituents. It is obvious that those representatives have disregarded or dismissed their constituents’ inputs and requests to stop the march toward socialism.
But doesn’t every representative have to stand for re-election every two years? Wouldn’t you think that to get re-elected, they would not avoid or evade their constituents because that would not endear them to the voters next time around. But that is exactly what they are doing. So it seems that they do not care about being re-elected. There must be more to the story.
President Obama (BHO) has pushed for many of his campaign promises that cost trillions of dollars even though the economy is in trouble. That does not make sense unless BHO’s agenda is an economy that is centrally controlled (read: socialism) by an oligarchy. BHO cannot do it alone; he must rely on hand-picked comrades to carry out his plans. In turn, it means that, under the guise of distorted constitutional authority, elected representatives who have sold out to BHO will be rewarded by him, and the change to socialism will be a done deal. Being well-connected individuals, your representatives will vote to exempt themselves from BHO’s socialistic, spread-the-wealth economy. Being part of the oligarchy, your turn-coat representatives will avoid the rationing that will become standard under socialism.
The trick will be to recall those representatives immediately before they have the time to do any real damage, like vote for trillions and trillions of so-called stimulus bills that do nothing except enslave the population to the government. The BHO agenda is moving as quickly as possible and he ‘hopes’ that his ‘change’ (campaign rhetoric) from a republic based on capitalism will be replace by an oligarchy based on socialism. Power grabs by BHO and the debt being blown through the roof by Congress will seal the fate of the citizens. Now is the time to go on the offense, because during the rest of 2009 and all of 2010, our country is at risk.
If FDR had lived he could have squeezed out at least another 2 or 3 terms maybe as well.
Part 2;
If they answer "YES" to any one of these questions then your duty is to disqualify them immediately! The only place they belong under the "Structure" of our Constitution is in the "Judicial Branch". It is a "Conflict of Interest" for them to hold a position in any other branch of any government in the United States,
If you don't think this is true then just ask yourself one question; "Why does any lawyer running for a legislative position have to resign as an active member of his/her law firm? Because it is Unconstitutional". If you think they resigned and left their Agenda behind you are "SADLY MISTAKEN".
To All My Friends and Fellow 912'rs;
I have to put this comment into 2 parts as the 912 server can't handle it!
Part 1;
Please realize that most of your elected officials in your Local, County, State and Federal Governments are LAWYERS. They have NO BUSINESS being in any type of legislative position, period!
YOUR NUMBER 1 QUESTION AT CAMPAIGN TIME TO ASK YOUR CANDIDATE IS;
1. ARE YOU A LAWYER?
2. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN A LAWYER?
3. DID YOU EVER GO TO LAW SCHOOL?
4. DO YOU HAVE ANY RELATIVES THAT ARE LAWYERS?
5. ARE ANY OF YOUR CLOSE FRIENDS LAWYERS
Now that Obama has sold every American out by nationalizing everything he can get his hands on, its good for you to see that he has now sold everything to Europe;
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFDBkf4F_hs
What we aren't thinking about is when oil is attacked by this administration oil prices are going to go way up because the folks in other countries that are willing to drill will begin cutting production and raising prices. They just snuck in a bill that confiscates 107 million acres of land that is oil-shale & oil rich. Once the foreign countries realize we will in no way be able to drill for our own oil the price is going to skyrocket and guess who is going to be there waiting to sell you a lawn mower with wheels; Government Motors, yes that's right Obama's car company. You will be forced to buy them or you'll go broke driving the car you enjoy.
Just to make things better Judge Napolitano on Fox & Friends said there was a bank that was forced to sell shares of stock to the government. When this CEO told the government to take a hike they told him that they will cost him millions in audits if he didn't sell the stock. This bank DID NOT take any bail-out money, but the board of directors told the CEO to sell them the stock because being audited was far worse. Then the government told the bank they were going to place a government employee in the bank to oversee operations. This also happened to a different bank that wanted to pay their bail-out money with interest back to the government, but guess what the government would not accept the money and told them that they needed to have a government person in the bank to oversee operations. Tell me we aren't becoming just like Venezuela!!!!
We aren't becoming just like Venezuela. Sorry just couldn't resist – kind of like Robert Conrad and the battery. Actually I believe we are financially more like the Weimar Republic. With the M3 now being off the unofficial charts, both figuratively and literally, when the chickens come home to roost there will be many unemployed govt overseers.
Venezuela is a perfect example of the decline of a society. Eventually, the poor masses choose their "champion" who does nothing but promise to give back to the people, to give them what is their due, to rule unbeknownst to them in a state of Tyranny.
This "champion" keeps his word (albeit while strengthening himself in power) and inefficiently begins to provide for the masses. These masses gratefully receive the tidbits that can be thrown their way and clamour loudly about how wonderful their champion is. Their dreams are being realized and their wishes are coming true, right?
Wrong. What they are accomplishing is a self devouring society that feeds upon itself, due to the masses justifiable inability to see beyond their next meal. This self perpetuating cycle of decline exists until eventually there is nothing left to devour and only their "champion" and his duly elected magistrates remain.
Does any of this sound familiar? Those on the dole elect those who will continue to keep them on the dole. This is because we have lost the four important virtues of :Temperence, Courage, Wisdom, and Justice.
Hugo Chavez and Imagonnajihad have something of value to say about "the" economy and capitalism? LOL
I think that maybe Larry, Moe and Curly would have had something more substantive and meaningful than this dynamic duo. But then again, if they would hire Sean Penn to be their front man, oublic opinion might be more supportive of them?
Both of their economies are fueled by the market, the very same capitalism that they are bashing. I suppose it's ok (if i were socialist leaning, which I'm not) for a country to confiscate private property and use it for "the greater good"….but I couldn't think of two worse examples than these two. It's defining the greater good that gets pretty slippery – and where we find outselves at this moment in time.
Either way, it's capitalism and the free market that allows one of them to become a dictator while buying his people off(for the time being), the other to build his nuclear weapons and a world minus Isreal(as long as Israel doesn't object).
Of course Hugo doesn't like capitalism. Well, he really does like capitalism as long as he is the only capitalist (oil/gas) in a dictatorship regime. I live just north of Honduras and our stupid president, Mel Zelaya, wants to be just like Hugo. He has stated he wants to first take over all electric companies. The electric company on our island is American run. YIKES. When it was run by Hondurans, we had power outages up to 8 hours every day in the heat with no wind. Once the Americans took over, we have power all day, every day. Thus, Americans just do it better. Pray for me here. Zelaya also is going to rewrite the Honduran Constitution so he can be president forever. He's a Hugo Wannabee.
Sounds kind of like Congress and Obama, eh? They aren't exactly re-writing America's Constitution, but they are issuing legislation that is trampling all over it. We can turn everything around in the elections. EVERY conservative or moderate who hates what is happening has to turn out to vote this next time around. You can be sure that Obama's people are already campaigning for the next go-around.
Proud to be an American, proud to be Anti-Liberal, proud to know the difference.
I would like to see Sean Penn and Kevin Spacey move to Venezuala. Maybe that would change their minds about their good buddy Hugo.
Since we also just agreed to help add 1.1 Trillion to the IMF . World Bank he may have a great idea. Shut them down.
Iran and Cuba summit of the G-2..Whackos…..
Don't you just love it when the dictator of a failing Banana Republic thinks he is a world class economist and visionary? One look at his failing country tells the story of just how well socialism works. This power drunk little thug will take a big fall when the people of his country get fed up with their standard of living and kick him to the curb.
Oh ya, because Venezuela's socialist government is SO good. Who wants to take bets on when Venezuela will go bankrupt and will want a bail out from us?
And when is Obama going to have a nice get together with this guy? I want to see the two socialists exchange ideas.
This is spoken by a true madman. Chavez is a power hungry nut that will eventually ruin the people of Venezuela. They already fear for their rights and some of them their lives because this man is taking all the power from them. If people like this could only realize countries like the US and the UK do for this world.
The death of freedom in Venezuela caused by Hugo Chavez is a good history lesson to study. How can a democracy devolve into a dictatorship where Chavez is now "president for life"? Maybe Glen can run through the timeline on his show and draw comparisons to what is happening in America today.
No Demacrocy has ever had a long life span as it is simply a "Mob Rule" scenario. Thats why our founding fathers rejected democracy for a Republic instead.

TEA PARTY ALERT
This came from a different site and is a heads-up for Tea Parties
Also, if you are attending Tea Party Rallies, please watch what you sign and who you give personal info to.
I just got an email alert.
ACORN groups are “gate crashing” Tea Parties pretending to be anti-Obama and asking people to sign petitions so they can get your names and addresses. Please do not sign anything at the Tea Parties unless you are sure where the petitions have come from and are legit.
This would be the paid disrupters and their tactics

Yes, but there are several 'upsides': It is probable that he is correct (to some degree). It IS the international press, that "is" his stage (shining light, on OUR excesses)……which does 'help our cause'….. And what a 'perfect' example of socialism…..for others to see fail (as in, how many examples, do we need….).
My sarcasm is thinly disguised, and his very existence is 'proof positive' that capitalism works! (Capitalism, at its finest, is a self-correcting entity……as SOMEBODY has-to-pay the bills…..and in "this case"…WE are!)
Obama is going to make Hugo Chavez the murderous dictator look like a Boy Scout.
The reason we don't shoot him is because he isn't worth the price of a bullet…
welcome my friend to Venezuela lite.
Which one?
Which one are you refering to?

Hugo Chavez's opinion isn't worth the air power it takes to carry his words.
It's sad that a Socialist is giving advice to another socialist not to do what he has already done.
When did I fall through the Lookin Glass and where's Alice.
How is Hugo going to say down with capitalism? Isn't he making a ton of money off of Citgo gas stations? He's just a dictator in disguise (well, not so much of a disguise) that is trying to tear down those who are free (for the most part) to own and operate their own businesses.
It is believeable. People always hate peope that are better then they are.
Hugo Chavez is a blip on the world map. He will be remembered in History for the tyrant he is, not any good works. Ultimatly, Who cares what he thinks?
NO MATTER WHAT OUR COUNTRY DOES,EVERYONE HATES US. WE PROVIDE AID IN ALL FORMS ALL OVER THE WORLD, DON'T COLLECT MONEY DUE TO US FROM OTHER COUNTRIES, WE SEEM TO FORGET ALL THE MONEY THAT FOREIGN EMBASSADORES OWE US WHEN THEY PARK IN THE WRONG SPOT, ETC., ETC.!
YET WE GET BLAMED FOR THE ECONOMIC CRISIS AND ANYTHING ELSE THEY CAN THINK OF!! UNBELIEVEABLE!
If they hate us so much, why do they keep trying to come here by the boatload? Plenty of nations around the world love the USA and respect us. Don't buy all the propaganda.
They may hate us but I think the right word is not hate, but "Jealous."
And our own president is feeding these lies with his inappropriate rhetoric. What is he hoping to gain! Does he hope that there are enough stupid Americans who will get warm an fuzzy feelings from his disrespect of his own Country. Unfortunately, I am afraid we have so many who have lost sight of what we stand for, his poll numbers will not drop like a lead balloon. Which they should.
We must keep in our hearts what we know to be true: America is good. History proves it and we can see it in our daily lives. The Euros spend almost nothing on defense, because we are there. We supply more aid in many forms to those on the African continent than the rest of the world combined. We are loathed worldwide. How can this be so?
Peoples who receive our aid despise us because we remind them, by our very generosity, of their stinginess. We remind them, by our charity, of their lack of goodwill. We remind them, by our acts of progress, of their lack of drive. Particularly for Euros, who have existed as nations for century upon century, they hate us for being so successful while yet so young. In the end, the world loathes us because they are jealous.
Yes, lets charge Iraq for the freedom we gave them…maybe that will lessen the deficit.
And even though we are hated we continue to still do the right thing because the rest of the world is jealous of the fact that we have been able to accomplish so much, so fast, with what looks like ease. Although we all know it has taken a ton of hard work and the truths we hold dear from our Founding Fathers who created our Founding Documents.
I can see why he gets jiggy with Sean Penn. They deserve each other.
haha, he can keep it up too, the less we drive the lower oil/gas prices will go. At this rate he will bankrupt Venezuela and lose his seat as President of Venezuela. GG Hugo CHAVEZ Frias, Fail harder..
I can't ditto that RP. That would just make him a Marter! Keep him as the loser he is.
If Something Like That Happened To The President, The Vice President Would Probably Have A Heart Attack With The Vacuum Of Power. Then The Speaker Of The House Would Be President, Is THAT What We Want
I Don't Think So.
I agree thanks
The treasury department can prints approximately 38 million notes a day with a face value of approximately $750 million. In a pinch, it would not take long to print a trillion dollars in a short period of time of large bills. Not that they should have done it. They are probably still printing it. Which is really not going to help anything.
Ripetomato, You are right and I apologize. I should have read the comments more closely.
