The reason the right wing fascist(on the political compass) aka republicans fear Chavo Is because he has the interest of Venezuela before the interest of America.
The reason Chavo is forced to take the communist approach while delivering the socialist message is due to outside interference, and opposition by the capitalists of Venezuela. This does not mean i agree with his approach, I believe his message is strong enough to gain support of the people(which he already has)
At the very least if he does manage to seize all private property atleast it will belong to Venezuela, no longer to foreign investors. The steps are quite obvious as are the reasons for your hatred of it.
1) All of Venezuela belongs to the people of Venezuela
2)Arm the people
3)Free education and healthcare, total equality
4) Dedication to improving society
One Nation,One Continent,One World
Will this hurt America? yes
Since America isnt Independent, they require control over the rest of the world.
Thats why they intervene in countries that dont carry the same Agenda-profit.
Will this hurt the Upper Class in america? No, it will hurt the rest of the Americans(lower classes)
You cannot blame Chavez for looking after his own nations interest. You cant blame him for your leaders stupidity(imperialism)
Capitalism has failed, only way you can save it is by using your military might(hasnt worked so far) and end the world.

Well when you call the soon-departing British PM a "Buffoon" and the American President a "Chimpanzee", i take that to mean you think you could do a better job.

I have a feeling that after Blair is out of office the country will be "Pineing" for his return. As for Bush i'll be happy when his term ends, but he's not an Evil guy.

No, the insult was in much the same manner as someone might complain that some top-flight professional footballer is "useless". I, personally, may not be able to do a better job, but I know of candidates for both jobs who probably can.

No, Bush is incompetent and corrupt, and has made the world an unhappier and more dangerous place - but saying he is an Evil Fascist is probably an exaggeration, and certainly not something I've ever said.

A more dangerous place? Can you tell me what America did to make people fly airplanes into our buildings? Evil people do not need reasons to kill you. Quit reading all of those left web sites, they will corrupt you.

Bush's reaction to the New York atrocity is part of what has made the world a more dangerous place. He has turned Iraq into a hell-hole, a breeding ground for terrorists, (where it wasn't before), and caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people in the process.
But this is all common knowledge, and can be gleaned from mainstream, middle-of-the-road newspapers, TV and websites.

The source for the estimates of deaths in Iraq is a study published in The Lancet, probably the UK's most prestigious medical journal, and by no means a "far-left source". The best estimate, within a range, was about 650,000 killed, and no, it didn't include the 1991 war. The study's easily googled.
Even including what Iran may be doing to fuel the war in Iraq, the fact is that the majority of the combatants are Iraqis, who would not have been terrorists before the invasion started. Bush has created more terrorists - no-one ever took seriously his aim of "fighting the terrorists on their own turf" - Iraq was the last place anyone would look for them.
Face it, the whole enterprise was a foreseen disaster before it even started, as the rest of the world (and not just lefties) tried to tell Bush. I'm just amazed that anyone even attempts to defend it anymore.gethine wrote:sure, but did you get your einstein illusion cast thing yet?
Not yet, it's way too soon. I am excited, though.

Iraq war deaths 'top 650,000'
More than 650,000 Iraqi civilians have died in violence as a result of the US-led 2003 invasion of Iraq, a new study says, but the US and Iraqi governments have rejected the claims.
The purported figure amounts to 2.5 per cent of Iraq's population
The report published in the Lancet, a medical journal, said on Wednesday: "We estimate that as of July 2006, there have been 654,965... excess Iraqi deaths as a consequence of the war, which corresponds to 2.5% of the population in the study area.
"Of post-invasion deaths 601,027 ... were due to violence, the most common cause being gunfire."
The report, by a team led by Gilbert Burnham of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland, was later dismissed by George Bush, the US president, who said he did not consider it "credible".
The Iraqi government also condemned the figures as "exaggerated", with Ali Debbagh, an Iraqi government spokesman, saying the figure "flies in the face of the most obvious truths".
Statistics
The report estimated deaths in the post-invasion period from March 2003 to June 2006, and compared the mortality before the invasion, from January 2002 to January 2003.
"Gunfire remains the most common cause of death [in Iraq], although deaths from car bombing have increased"
Lancet study
They randomly selected 47 sites across Iraq, comprising 1,849 households and 12,801 people.
Interviewers asked householders about births, deaths and migration and if there had been a death since January 2002 and, if so, asked to see a death certificate to note the cause.
Of the 629 deaths recorded, 547, or 87%, were in the post-invasion period.
This sample was used to extrapolate that, across the country, 654,965 deaths - amounting to 2.5 per cent of the population - have occurred since March 2003.
Violent deaths
About 601,000 of the deaths were due to violence, of which about half were due to gunfire. The study also estimated that 31% of deaths were as a result of action by the US-led forces. Whats 31% of 650,000?
"The number of people dying in Iraq has continued to escalate," the report concluded.
"The proportion of deaths ascribed to coalition forces has diminished in 2006, although the actual numbers have increased every year.
"Gunfire remains the most common cause of death, although death from car bombing have increased."
The Lancet's new study follows a previous October 2004 study which said that 100,000 deaths had occurred in the country between March 2003 and September 2004 as a result of violence, heart attacks and aggravated health problems.
It also comes as Jan Egeland, the United Nations undersecretary for humanitarian affairs, said that revenge killings in Iraq were "totally out of control".
Egeland said that a "very worrying" deterioration in conditions had led to more than 315,000 Iraqi civilians being displaced, while women were increasingly being attacked in so-called "honour" killings.
However, some attacked the timing of the new report's release as political, coming only three weeks before the US midterm elections.
"They're almost certainly way too high," said Anthony Cordesman of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, of the figures.
This is not analysis, this is politics."

They don't have the will to take any kind of stand on priniciple which might require a use of force. This emboldens renegade nations such as North Korea and Iran since they know they can ignore the U.N. mandates without consequence.

What's the point of have the option of using different font colors if you don't use them? I personally think it's easier to read.
