Interesting article, but noticably absent from the description of Morales is that he's a COCA FARMER (article refers to him only as "a farmer" and "an indian").
I wonder if most in the U.S. are even aware of the fact that a coca farmer is now the PRESIDENT of the country of Bolivia, commisserating with Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and Fidel Castro in Cuba, among others.
The shocking reality is that this man has been elected as President of the country, at least, shocking when compared with our civilization, and the vast differences of mentalities between our nation and these in South America and the Caribbean.
The knee-jerk populism of South American/Central American voters has brought them nothing but misery for 180 years.
Of course, the hideous ruling oligarchies of those miserable countries haven't actually allowed people to ever vote for real...
I bore easily reading about worthless Communists.
Did the article mention the 'moment of silence' for Che the Commie Thug Murder Guevara at this throne ceremony?
Close the border!
I'm just wondering how "a peasant" from Bolivia has come to regard the United States as someone he has to be "a nightmare" for...must sure be hard, moving all those coca leaves, all those mean U.S. people in the way!
Evo, you bring the bagels...
I'll bring the sticky buns!
BUT ESPECIALLY THE COCA.
Morales, who hasn't eaten or slept in days, delivered a four-hour anti-US diatribe without, apparently, pausing for breath. He briefly collapsed on the dais, but is said to have recovered sufficiently to spend the rest of the night in his residence cleaning his refrigerator with Q-Tips.
Yes, let's glorify a friggen leftist thug. The MSM is ridiculous. I couldn't stomach the Harper stories this morning.
We let Chavez stay in power for too long.
South America has gone socialist and it will take them 15 years to wake up and realize the poverty in their streets is the result of their own government's left-leaning policies.
It is too late.
Might as well just put a tombstone on the continent now.
It's too bad but there is nothing anyone can do about it now.
You're right. Nothing we can do about it.
Venezuela is a sovereign and independent country full of foolish and uneducated voters who repeatedly act contrary to their own self interests.
That's an old story in South America.
Reminds me of Massachusetts...
The good news is that with the Socialists taking over coca farming the crop yields will plummet.
LOL! And you didn't even have to photoshop that! Yikes!
What else do you expect from Turd World countries? I give him 12 months before he turns his country into Zimbabwe Part 2.
Does he have her autograph?
