Though you heard a weeks worth of news in the MSM about the Pat Robertson, televangelist and host of The 700 Club, calling for the assassination of Venezuelan President Chavez, I pretty much doubt you heard anything about why someone would make such a bold statement on El Hefe Jr. Thankfully, Thor Halvorseen, president of the New York based Human Rights Foundation, has written a wonderful piece in the August 8, 2005 issue of the Weekly Standard that demonstrates that the US has a horrific neighbor to its south. While Chavez will tell folks like ABC's Ted Koppel that his "Revolutionary Government," is providing the people with what they want and need the reality of situation is that El Hefe Jr. is erecting a fascistic playground that is slowly but surely eleminating the Venezuelan people's rights of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness that we in the US take for granted. Just read these following paragraphs from Halvorseen's piece and you'll see that Chavez is a enormous threat to the US, South America and the Venezuelan people and will have to be dealt with sooner or later (I think we have less dramatic means of getting rid of the tyrant that sending in a hit squad.) especially since they're sitting on a glut oil and money binds of petro-dollars. Here's a look:
Chávez first ran for president on a reform platform, winning in a landslide. What few understood then was that Chávez planned to revolutionize the country following a plan masterminded by his longtime friend Norberto Ceresole, an Argentinian writer infamous for his books denying the Holocaust and his conspiracy theories about Jewish plans to control the planet.Though the above is a horrific revelation of Chavez's regime, I suggest you read the rest of the article to learn more on El Hefe Jr. Let's hope that the folks in the DOD, State, NSC and the White House are paying attention to the happenings going down in Caracas and the region in general. We've seen what has happened to Cuba under the fourty-six year rule of Castro (El Hefe), let's try to prevent that from happening again in Venezuela.
The title of Ceresole's 1999 book on Chávez and Venezuela, Caudillo, Ejército, Pueblo ("Leader, Army, People"), eerily recalls the German national socialist maxim, "One People, One Country, One Leader." (The first chapter is titled "The Jewish Question and the state of Israel.") After denying the Holocaust, he explains that the greatest threat to Chavismo comes from the Jews of Venezuela. A self-described Communist and fascist, Ceresole became an expert in national socialism after designing Juan Domingo Perón's electoral platform in Argentina. In Ceresole's hands, representative democracy mutates into "participatory" systems led by cult-like figures; tellingly, Chávez praises the "participatory democracy" of Libya, Syria, Iran, and Cuba. Ceresole's structure channels the people's will through the charismatic strongman; the military functions as the central political body. Ceresole's roadmap for Venezuela suffered some setbacks, including a 2002 coup that displaced Chávez for 48 hours and a national strike that almost toppled the government. But Venezuela's dramatic political metamorphosis was nonetheless complete by the time Ceresole died in 2003.

Yeah, that sounds dangerous to me "participitory democracy" one where the people vote for leaders who will put their needs before the greed of American corporations. Evil stuff that.
Chavez has given the poor, who used to live in cardboard huts, bricks and land to build their houses. He has sent his people to Cuba to train as doctors to tend to the poor in his country. What a vile man! He has survived not only a coup (which he alleges was backed by the Bush regime, who immediately recognized the coup leaders)but also a recall attempt by the white and rich minority. The thing fascists like you don't understand is that Venezuela is a free country, the more we mess around with elections there, the more enmies we create. The only reason Marion called for Chavez's assassination (WWJD?) was because Chavez stood in the way of business deal Robertson was brokering with parties in Venezuela.
Fascism is defined as:
1. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
2. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.
I'd challenge you to find in all of my posts anything that fits into the above mentioned definition.
I'm a libertarian conservative in the mold of Ronald Reagan and I'm not the one (Like you) who always quotes the Nazis to make a point. Why is it that when liberals can't win an argument against a conservative or have nothing else to saw they, they throw up the fascist bomb?
Chavez may not be the greatest chap on earth, but to hear Bush & Co. speak of him you'd think he was an unelected dictator. I'd say Chavez was about as legitimately elected as Bush.

It looks like someone has been drinking too much of the MSM and Moveon.org cool-aid on Chavez. Unlike Venezeula under Chavez where you seem to have "one man, one time" elections, the US will have an election and President Bush is term limited and we have a two party system where either of the two have a chance of winning. You can call President Bush a dictator if you want but he follows the rule of law and is held in check by the Constitution. In Chavez's case he rewrites the Venezeulan Constitution to increase his power and diminish that of the people. I'd like to see President Bush or any other president trying to run roughshod over Congress and the Judical Branch, it just isn't going to happen.(FDR tried it in 1937 with the attempted packing of the Courts and his National Recovery Act and got slapped down.) So think twice before placing President Bush with Chavez.
