  1. Hugo Chavez: Hillary’s (Hell, the whole Democratic party’s) vision for the future of the US.

  2. I don’t think the Venuzuelans would be using caterpillar machinery. They would be more likely to use whatever is manufactured by Russian, China and Iran.

  3. It’s amazing how socialism/collectivism/authoritarianism can rob a nation of its wealth, and, of course, its freedom.
    You can almost set your watch by it; amazingly, we have politicians here who think this is the way to go, who advocate government/UN run bureacracies to deal with every perceived injustice or social problem.
    Can anyone think of an example of a socialist country, democratic or otherwise, that has benefited from this ideology, rather than moving backwards?

  4. Price controls led to food shortages?
    Who could have ever predicted this?
    If only there was some way we could have known.

  5. but the Hollywood moonbats just love him and line up to get their pictures taken with him.
    They can’t be wrong, can they ?

  6. Rabblers are proud of thier new baby. All he needs is a coca leaf put in his mouth to sooth him.

  7. I see you dropped

    [x] President for life

    from your to-do list.
    Well don’t worry. Anybody that thinks Chavez will quietly retire to his villa to fish marlin and drink rum come 2012 is dreaming in technicolor. The Chavistas shall spontaneously rise up and insist on Chavez’s reinstatement.
    Viva La Revolucion!

  8. I can picture El Commandante saying “Mugabe, you magnificent ba$tard….I READ YOUR BOOK!!!!

  9. No tears shed on my part for the sheeple that voted this cretin into power. Lessons never seem to be learned in Latin America where Marxism was never eradicated.

  10. Tragic thing is that this has been done numerous times before, though people will vote for the idiots just the same, mind you in Venezuela they are mostly not aware of the world outside, how socialism crashed every time it was instituted.
    Every time this socialist garbage was tried, it failed, apparently there is some kind of definition in the sense that, if you try the same thing over and over and expecting different result…………
    Every point in the post is a classic, the way the steps are taken and the population is enslaved.
    Unfortunately it is coming our way, although it is some distance away.
    Current government, however sensible it is, is only an interlude.
    Do you think that Harper will do away with the HRC, even though it is one of the things he probably abhors? Not a snowball’s chance in hell.
    I would very much like to be wrong. There is always hope, though it was not able to escape before Pandora’s box was shut.

  11. What I “like” is the long line of Western “elite” that pay him a visit and lend him support and praise him. Often, the sam epeople mwho jet around invoking global warming.
    It’s not hypocrisy. What’s that word, now? The stupidity? detachment? unworldliness? … of the *underservign* rich.
    Hey, I’ve no problems with the smart or hard-working rich.

    Me too, I salute anyone who is willing to do what it takes. when they make it, it lets the rest of us know that it is still possible and we can do it too if we choose to.
    Re the Hollywood twits. Firstly, they are stupid and I really mean that. Secondly they are folks who already have their jelly donut and will never run out of toilet paper. They feel guilty because they have done virtually nothing to earn what they have. They simply go lucky for the most part. They poor people as needing care, the kind that opportunistic monster like Hugo Chavez is willing to destroy to help them have a better life.
    The delusion of leftist thinking is criminal and should be prosecuted or at the very least beaten with a bat at every opportunity.
    People will always do better left on their own with nothing but freedom and opportunity. Some will start slow and complain a lot, but in the end the desire for food and shelter will win out. Once they achieve that much, there is no stopping them.
    Look at what it did for the US and Canada despite the drag of the every expanding socialist yoke.

  14. It’s so nice to see that Hugo is right on schedule to become the Rotten Robert Mugabe of South America.
    Due to his superior understanding of economics that Mugabe shared with his old close friend and economics whiz, Pierre Trudeau, Zimbabwe is now printing a 10m(illion) dollar currency bill.
    The bill is worth about $3.92 US.
    But hey, what can a guy do when inflation is running at only 50,000% per year?
    Pity those poor people.

  15. Welcome to my past in the USSR.
    How interesting: ‘We told you so’ is never getting heard. What does left have to say about that?
    In 1917-1924 Russia food seizures were called ‘prod-razverstka’. The food squads had mandate to shoot those hiding food on the spot. We told you so!

  16. I think hollywood cretins who glorify these thugs should have their property confiscated, their citizenship revoked, told never to come back and sent to go an live in these places.

  17. “I don’t think the Venuzuelans would be using caterpillar machinery. They would be more likely to use whatever is manufactured by Russian, China and Iran.”
    They’d love to use commie equipment, but it can’t handle such a HUGE job without breaking down!
