I can't make up my mind as to who is nuttier the NK Chia Pet or Chavez.
They offer courses on it.
"Most cruel savage empire in history"
I only wish it were true
I can just here the newest lefty talking points coming out of this one.
I was wondering the same thing. LOL I wonder if he can say EEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWOWOWWWWWWWWWWW like he means it?
When whacked out totalitarian minded socialist communistic whack jobs go off it's a sign of panic...I smell a junta comin' on.
Sounds like he's been snorting too much of his country's cocaine.
Pat Robertson is right!
Pat Robertson is right!
".. called the United States the "most savage, cruel and murderous empire that has existed in the history of the world."
For a minute there, I thought this was another Cindy Sheehan thread.
Rule #1 for tinpot dictators:
"To take the minds of the people off of the fact that you are oppressing the stuffings out of them, find an enemy that you can focus on (the US is the most effective choice here)."
Reads like a DNC press release. All we need is the "Dean said."
One of these things is not like the the other, one of things just doesn't belong.
Come, you know the words, sing along...
The Tyrannicide and the Catholic Church.
There is nothing improper about the commentaries made by the Evangelical preacher, Pat Robertson, referring to the possible tyrannicide of the Venezuelan dictator, Hugo Chavez.
Tyrannicide has been sanctioned as morally compatible with the teachings of the Catholic Church, based on the social doctrine of St. Thomas Aquinas. Chavez has reaffirmed his intentions of establishing in Venezuela a genocidal regime following the Cuban model and the commands of Fidel Castro.
What are we going to wait for?, Allow Chavez to surpass Castro’s dreadful record of 20,000 shot by firing squads, and for more than half million of Venezuelans to suffer political imprisonment as the Cubans have suffered in Castro’s dungeons inside the Island prison of Cuba.
Chavez, like Hitler, was elected democratically only to become a dictator later. Castro kept well hidden his aims of establishing a Stalinist regimen in Cuba until he consolidated this power over the Cuban people. But, as Hitler exposed his diabolic plan in “Mein Kamp”, Chavez has no only openly and publicly bragged about his plans of imposing a communist regimen following the Cuban model, but he has put Venezuela under Castro’s control using his thugs and repressive apparatus to keep subjugated the people of Venezuela.
If Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Chavez’s life had been terminated, how many lives would have been saved and how much suffering humanity would have been spared.
In fact, tyrannicide is so justified that His Holiness Pius XII gave his approval for the plot by a group from the German’s army intelligence service planning to kill Hitler.
For St. Thomas Aquinas, tyrannicide is to opt for the lesser of two evils. Pacifism is a morally correct personal option, but is an option that is morally unaceptable for the state. A person might choose not to resist an aggression to the extreme of loosing his life, but a government has the duty to defend his people.
A pacifist might loose his life without offering resistance; but he cannot impassible allow in his presence the murder of an innocent person. Those are basic principles of Catholic teachings that are being ignored in the middle of the assault of the totalitarian correct ideological movement where political correct positions prevail even though they might be morally incorrect options.
When a dog goes mad and is frothing dangerously at the mouth and is endangering people, it should be put down without a second thought.
