Venezuelan Despot Suggests Change to US Constitution
From Reuters:
Venezuela’s leftist President Hugo Chavez said on Saturday it was the capitalist system that had caused the financial crisis in the United States and the country should come up with a new constitution.
Keeping in mind that Chávez wants to change the Venezuelan constitution to allow him lifelong presidentship, I’m not surprised he’s no fan of the US constitution. After all, power sharing is what Chávez hates the most. Thankfully, everyone besides the extreme left consider Chávez a fool. Not without comedian qualities though:
“Let the U.S. empire end and let a great nation and great republic rise from the ruin ... It’s time to shout ‘Liberty!’ again in the United States,” Chavez said, calling for a new government to be free of the “dictatorship of the elite” such as big banks and corporations.
The man who forced the Venezuelan parliament to sign over all powers to his office complains about the American “dictatorship of the elite”. Had I not known Chávez is crazy, I would have thought he was ironic.
Hugo Chávez is the Idi Amin of the twenty-first century.
Idi Amin?! Bush is the Hitler of twenty-first century.
Just because Chavez may or may not be the new Idi Amin does not change the FACT that the US Capitolist system is caving in on itself due to the greed of Corporate capitolists pigs, that have no integrity or honor.
US Corporate Capitolist pigs have stolen the retirements of our mothers and fathers, not to mention the well-being of our US citizens.
Where will these greedy pigs sell thier crummy goods and wares when there is no US market to sell to anymore because they have outsourced all the jobs to 3rd world countries ?
Corporate America has become the global greed machine.
Truth be known, America is not too far from becoming a third world nation herself.
I fear for this country and her people.
"Bush is the Hitler of twenty-first century."
Bush had one war in Afghanistan where the fighting was mostly done by their own people, such as the Northern Aliance, and he revoked a cease fire from the first Gulf War and had about a three week active war with Iraq, where the bombing was mostly of empty governmental and infrastructure sites. Not even military, as the military melted away from the start. Hardly worthy of Hitler. Hitler did all that and more before breakfast.
And as a result both contries have a chance to go forward in democracy. Again, not exactly Hitler standards.
You know I did some temporary clerical work briefly when I lived in NYC some years ago, at one of the mortgage insurance companies on Wall Street. It was a company I had never heard of, but I could tell that there was money there. Everyone seemed pretty happy, probably because they were getting well paid, including me as a temp. On Wednesday, we had free catered lunches, with every type of gourmet food you could imagine, most of it not even eaten by us. Good times then. If you can get work at those "greedy" companies, you can have a comfortable life. I bet today the story is different there though.
You dont really have any sense for proportions. If Chavez is Idi Amin. Bush is Hitler.
This “Bush is Hitler” thing is ridiculous. Furthermore, it’s an insult to the victims of Nazism.
Ok. To whom is "Chavez is Idi Amin" an insult?! Cant you see your own wrongdoings here?!
