That’s Not A Bulldozer

1. Here’s a little something that *actually* surprised me, that those folks in Venezuela in charge of bringing about a glorious revolution, would send tainted goods to Haiti…
   as Migual Octavio states in his blog posting, “This case has corruption, incompetence, misuse of funds and inhumanity all rolled into one. (And I suspect some discrimination too)”

2. In the words of the infamous Bill Ayers “Viva Presidente Chavez!”

3. This reads just like the final chapters of “Atlas Shrugged”.

4. El Magnifico sounds like he’s relying on Mugabe for his marxist economic policy and Columbian drug lords for his personal energy policy. The foolish peons in Venezuela who put their trust in this madman who stoked their envy are about to learn a very hard lesson:
   “Socialism only works until you run out of other people’s money.” – Prime Minister Thatcher

5. Hugo is going to be swinging from a lamp post within the decade. Book it.

6. Wow Kate, good posting on your part. Things in Venezuela are going from horrible to worse.

7. The folks in Venezuela are learning the hard way that you always pay a price for something. You can pay it in money, you can pay it in long wait times, you can pay it in loss of freedom, you can pay it in lots of other things, but you always pay a price.

8. You can tell that Hugo has at last become a bi of an embarrassment for all the “progressive” types.
   He has slipped quietly out of sight on rabble.ca where various odes and tributes to his Bolivarian revolution used to fill the pages.

9. I wonder when Comrade Hugo is coming to meet with the Canadian Wheat Board?
   He could certainly learn a thing or two about the exploitation of farmers and grain markets by big government from them.
   That’s the CWB specialty and they have a long history of doing it.

    Aye. And you could toss Ontario’s farm organizations onto the dung heap too. However, to be fair, I haven’t heard much clamouring for change from Old MacDonald & Co….

11. So what does Sean Penn have to say about his buddy and the food police?

12. Socialism is unparalleled in its ability to engineer a famine in the midst of plenty.

13. Thanks. I’m adding to my Florida shopping list: gold, shotgun and, ta da, canned goods.

14. Not true. Oliver Stone took a tour with Chavez and he saw the glorious people’s revolution.
    Oliver wouldn’t lie to us, and Chavez wouldn’t hide the unpalatable facts to his Hollywood friends, so it’s you capitalist running dog pigs that are lying. Just like those traitors who refuse to sell their products at state-approved prices.
    Whew.
    Sorry.

15. I’m sure Dawg will manage to put a positive spin on the glorious Bolivarian Revolution.

16. Texas Canuck, Sean Penn isn’t starving so he doesn’t care.
    This isn’t an unexpected move on Chavez’s part. It isn’t even unexpected that people like Sean Penn and Oliver Stone would praise him. What would be unexpected is if the powers that be got off their butts and did something about this nutbar.

17. “Fighting back, Chavez says he is in an economic war against the “parasitic bourgeoisie” that tries to convince Venezuelans that socialism does not work by twisting facts and taking advantage of honest mistakes.”
    To which I say:
    Socialism – an honest mistake.

18. Socialism is the philosophy of communism, only twits believe their new version of socialism is different than Hitlers.
    The cart shall stay empty, the socialists don’t actually get off their amble duffs to fill said cart that’s the job of the goberment.

19. Now maybe people will understand the Stalin forced Ukrainian starvation of around 7 million people.
    It was to rid Russia of the middle class farmer.
    JMO

20. Venezuela is like the Soviet Union in the 1920s and 30s.

21. Not just in the Ukraine, also in Russia. What Chavez is doing with the food and has done with other aspects of Venezuela’s economy is exactly what happened in the Soviet Union in the 1920s and 30s.

22. Yep, when the Nazis invaded the Ukraine, the people initially welcomed them as liberators. That’s how “wonderful” communism is.
