Sound like anyone we know who lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?

This could be us before we know it...

HR 875

[NormsRevenge]

The parliament or whatever you want to call the Venezuelan gubamint has given him the powers to reign as he will for 18 months. What then?

[LeoWindhorse]

I am convinced , all Venezuelans must be total cowards.
That they can leave this moron in his position and stand by watching as they are turned into commie slaves is beyond me.
The paltry resistance they have so far put up, very unimaginative. And where was our technical help when W had the reins? Can one good Venezuelan come forth to correct history in the right way? I doubt it

[Dapper 26]

As we look into our future.............

[M Kehoe]

A year ago on this board I predicted that Venezuela would see a "Wyatt's toch," within a year. Methinks I'm off by a few months.

The future of the USA.

[NormsRevenge]

Time for Hillary to to throw her weight around in our hemisphere, perhaps?

[screaminsunshine]

Hopefully all the Capitalists have already escaped.

[Nathan Zachary]

So now the KGB will be there to greet anyone trying to sneak out of the country...Can’t have the communist workforce escaping now can we...

[Typical_Whitey]

Obama will not speak out about his brother to the south. All totalitarian leaders share certain things in common. Chavez and Obama are practically twins.

[WellyP]

It is just amazing Chavez has been around and pulling stunts like this for 10 years and he hasn't died of lead poisoning! It is simply amazing!

[Sir Gawain]

Snipers wanted.

[RetiredArmy]

That country is solidly communist now. Fake elections. Fake everything. The guy is a communist dictator just like his best friend Castro. This is what Obama wants for us.

[HoosierHawk]

Critics of Mr Chavez says the plans are unconstitutional, but the National Assembly backed them a week ago, saying they would improve essential services.

The government rhetoric sounds familiar.

[SunkenCiv]

State-level governments in Venezuela have controlled the country's most important airports, sea ports and major highways since a move towards decentralisation began some 20 years ago, the AFP news agency says. Many of the facilities seized on Saturday have since then fallen under the jurisdiction of state governments often hostile to Mr Chavez.

"Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it" ping.

[Bertram3]

Bill Ayers is pulling Chavez's puppet strings just like he is pulling our fearless leader's strings. There are plenty of these.

[Candor7]

This is about keepiingGold nside the country, and not lettinng mining comapnies transport it out of Venezuela.

Just Google Rusoro and Gold Reserve and read the poop. You will get it.

"Chavez pledged that his country would 'stay by Iran at any time and under any condition,' state television reported. Ahmadinejad said he saw in Chavez a kindred spirit." "'We do not have any limitation in cooperation,' Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. 'Iran and Venezuela are next to each other and supporters of each other. Chavez is a source of a progressive and revolutionary current in South America and his stance in restricting imperialism is tangible.'":
