Beautiful Dreamer
OK, so he's not beautiful. In fact, Hugo Chavez is most likely one of the ugliest humans I've ever seen. But he most certainly is having dreams of grandeur. Or smoking one heck of a lot of crack. In a speech to thousands of students (does anyone ever speek to anyone besides students?), Chavez says that if the US decides to invade Venezula, they
will be defeated. He then goes on to admit that he doesn't have any evidence that the US is going to invade, but that we have never given up on the dream of invading Venezula or Cuba.
Now, Hugo, I hate to burst your bubble and pull you so rudely out of your happy place, but I feel that it is my civic duty to inform you of a few facts.
1. If the US wanted to invade Cuba, it would now be the 52d state (we'd have to do something to keep Puerto Rico from getting jealous). And nothing that you, Castro or Russia could do could stop us. It's always been this way and will always continue to be this way. Oh, and the Bay of Pigs wasn't an invasion. It was a clusterf*ck.
2. In case you haven't noticed, the United States has the most powerful standing army in the world today. Remember the fact that nobody had ever successfully invaded Afghanastan? We did. Remember Iraq? The Republican Guard never stood a chance. So I don't know what makes you think you'd fare any better. What are you going to do, throw coffee beans at us?
Chavez then goes on with his inane blatherings.
Chavez called the United States the "most savage, cruel and murderous empire that has existed in the history of the world."
The Venezuelan leader said "socialism is the only path," and told the students the collective goal is to "save a world threatened by the voracity of U.S. imperialism."
Yes, yes. We're the Evil Empire. That's why our poorest people are richer than most countries richest. Sure. Capitalism doesn't work. My dream is shattered. I'm going to leave my high-paying job now and drive my nice car home and park it in my two-car garage. I'll go in and turn off our 54" screen TV and tell my kids to get off their two computers so that I can tell them how bad capitalism is. And as we have steak and potatoes for dinner, we'll mourn the fact that our system doesn't work.

Yes, but the fact that none of the conversations will occur in Spanish is proof that we live in a inferior system. That plus the no siestas thing.

Yep this guy is trouble with a capital T. So far he's managed to rig his own election. Buy 1.5 million rifles for his army and take away the right to bear arms from the people. All this while keeping all that oil money from doing anything for his country just like the rest of the rulers there have done. He talks like he is for the people but if it walks like a dictator talks like a dictator. Well you get the idea.

Since my tv is only 45", I suppose I should consider applying for federal or state aid.

Not to burst your bubble...but that is the point. Materialism.
That is why we are in trouble in the Middle East. Why our religion of Democracy and Capitalsim (Government Sponsored Free Enterprise) is under attack. A little known fact: The Father of modern Islamic Fascism came and visited the Colorado School System...as he was an educator he came for a visit in the 50's. He concluded that the "west" was the most vial , materialistic, immorale people in the world. And that true believers of Islam should fight the spread of the western culture to the Middle East. And that is exactly what they are doing.
I am not suggesting that you sell/give away your 54" TV. Just suggesting that maybe we should slow down the export a little...maybe start with less McDonalds, KFC, and only 27" TVs.

That is why we so surely rock as a country. You as a citizen of this land, or really any of the free ones, can choose for yourself which road to choose. To be honest, apart from my guitars, I give 2 craps about my possesions, and care everything for the people in my life. The thing that really makes that a special position is not that it is materialistic or not, it is that I had the free will to make it. Compare and contrast to our islamic critics.

Yes, because we all know that enslaving your people (socialism & communisim), blowing up everyone in site (Muslims), torture and mass murder (socialists, communists & Nazis) religion sponsored rape, murder, spouse & child abuse (Mulsims) are all such better alternatives then our "vile" capitalism.

Chris Louviere: If you agree with him, why are you still here?
While I agree some things about this society sucks. It is not materialism. Materialism is simply a word invented and used by have nots. Those that have proven they cannot compete against their genetic superiors.
The foul lanquage certain sectors of our society use would rile any religious people. The word motherfucker seems to be the most popular word in one American Culture. But its not the most popular amongst most. If I were a foreigner who loved and wanted the best for his family I would not wish them watch many American movies or television. Certain groups of Americans dress like they belong to Ringling Bros, Barnam and Bailey. Who ever heard of wearing your pants below your ass. However, one must take the good with the bad. And most about America is good. If not true why do people continue to do anything to live here?
You so called educated leader of Islam is in fact just another jealous old shit.
