I saw this article from MSNBC.com this morning. The headline reads "Chavez tells U.S. government: ‘Go to hell’." First off let me assure Mr. Chavez that the feeling is mutual. We in the United States have no respect for a socialist dictator such as you. Mr. Chavez claims that freedom is on the march in Venezuela and criticizes the U.S. for imperialism, etc. And yet Mr. Chavez continues the state takeover of companies who oppose him and the nationalization of the natural resource industry. Those actions don't even take into account that the Venezuelan National Assembly is expected to pass a law that would enable Mr. Chavez to "legislate by decree." Of course the National Assembly is controlled by the dictator's political allies who in their infinite wisdom, recognizing the dangers of above law, wrote that Mr. Chavez can only "legislate by decree" for eighteen months. So much for idea that the nation’s politicians being the best and brightest.
