who are the "idiots" JD?

the Castro's?...can't be them, they have the best healthcare and education system in the world...one that we should model our own after....and they get free government rice cookers...

the members of the CBC?...I might agree with that but then I'd be called racist...

the Obama Administration?

from the Jerusalem Post

The picture of the president of the United States smiling broadly as he met President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela startled me. Our president is a nice guy. Chavez is anything but.

The State Department maintains that Chávez has attacked democratic traditions and has put Venezuelan democracy on life support with unchecked concentration of power, political persecution, and intimidation. Foreign Affairs magazine says that Chávez is a power-hungry dictator with autocratic and megalomaniacal tendencies whose authoritarian vision and policies are a serious threat to his people. In testimony before the US Senate, the South American project director for the Center for Strategic International Studies said that Chavez's government engages in "arresting opposition leaders, torturing some members of the opposition (according to human rights organizations) and encouraging, if not directing, its squads of Bolivarian Circles to beat up members of Congress and intimidate voters-all with impunity."

In spite of a presidential term limit of six years, Chávez has suggested that he would like to remain in power for 25 years. Hmmm. An autocratic dictator who abuses human rights and undermines democracy being warmly embraced by the American president. There's something wrong with that picture.



WHAT???? TORTURE???? we're the only ones that torture....I'm guessing that what we do is a feather tickle on the bottom of the feet compared to these regimes and others.....but we're the bad guys....

keep hugging them Obama...you fool... just matter of time.....
