The so called failure of socialism has been inevitable when the financial system based on militarism is run by the USA. Any country which has tried it has been sabotaged either overtly or covertyly by the faceless wonders in the banking industry 'The House of All Nations' where money rules and human beings are irrelevant. If Hugo Chavez improves even a small measure the lives of the people of Venezuela then that in itself must be a good thing. Why is it when someone comes along who acts like a human being rather an automatum it has all the zealots from the right rattled. Is it the indoctrination of US culture? Where they have become so used to a controlled media and vacuous entertainment that cossets them from reality? 'The history of all hitherto society is the history of class struggle' and maybe if they pondered that statement rather than biblical diatrabe they seem to be so at ease with then they could have something relevant to contribute. It is strange how a Christian country can be so upset by the nations of South America practising their Bolivarian socialsim as I uderstand most of these leaders proffess to be Christians. The difference between the leaders of west Bush, Blair, Howard who also proffess to be Christians is that the South American Christians seem to be practising the model that the original man Jesus Christ advocated.

Does anybody in this society read history anymore. We as a nation rose to power faster than any nation in the past! We are canceling out even quicker than any great power of yesteyear. We have had it all in this brief trip to the top, and we have exhibeted the most stupid , selfish and foolish existance AS A SUPER POWER OVER THE PAST half century that one could imagine...much less actually practice?
Imagine what the intelligent life all about us in the Universe must be thinking as they most probably monitor us and our insane behavoir?
My God , we carry on like this trip we are on will never end? Here we are , aledegedly the most powerfull nation in the world...a self pronounced model democracy. preaching the do's and dont's of life to those we pretend are beneath us, while we, haveing elected an imbecell to the presidencey and an insane, vicious criminal (V.P.) to coach the moran thief i n the oval office, who is brashley destroying the nation with the help of his white shirt and tie corporate 'rats' who have ransacked the the nations economy while virtually driveing a once great republic into the ground.
These hoodlums and tha cast of assinine suppporters that voted these unbeliveable sons of satan into office... NOT ONCE, but TWICE????????????
are in the throes of failure and commiting criminal acts openly with absolute arrogance,.WHILE ignoring totally the 'laws' of the land that young AMERICAN HEROES died for while DEFENDING these laws and 'rights' IN PLACES LIKE IWO JIMA and Normandy and Quardacanal and VALLEY FORGE and all the other death defined trenches and beaches of war throughout the world..
SHAME on you Americans, SHAME, SHAME, SHAME, on all of us that allow these hoodlums to ransack the nation and dwell in the monument most significant of the hundreds of years of defending democracy only to allow these thugs that are makeinga mockery of the constitution and the bill of rights as they prance about that monument we are or were all so proud of up untill the beinning of this second thousand years of recorded history, that being the year 2000 when the most ignorant and criminal persons we know as Richard Chaney and George Bush have flagrantly and visciously robbed the nation of its wealth, pride,and decencey. SHAME ,SHAME, SHAME . The monument I speak of is of course the WHITE HOUSE that we all reveered throughout our brief history as a Democracy and a super power. I am afraid we are all through as the protector of democracy and freedom. God bless all of the brave young soldiers and military that are dieing for what they have been told is freedom. Goodby America...love U

Chavez will nationalize his way to hell, eventually he will bankcrupt all the companies he touches. The 'people elected' dictator (if you are as naibe as Obama to believe that) uses his power and money to buy his popularity. The problem just like in the US is that we have a bunch of lazy american that are trusting the future of our nation to liberal modern socialists. Next time we have a chance to vote, please vote and stop talking....it is time ti act. It is all related, the communist effort that Castro tried in the 60's continues to move north and it is closer than you think.
I have tasted liberty and I will not give up.
Patria Libre o Morir!
