A small audience, but the politics in the UK is really up for grabs at this time. Blair's been in real trouble for months, correlating quite nicely for the Left with Bush's problems.

Then there is the follow up piece...

Not a difficult choice at all

Chávez and Venezuela deserve the support of all who believe in social justice and democracy

President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela will today become the second head of state - after the Queen - to be welcomed to London's City Hall. When it comes to the social transformation taking place in Venezuela, the political qualifications often necessary in our imperfect world can be set aside. It is crystal clear on which side right and justice lies. For many years people have demanded that social progress and democracy go hand in hand, and that is exactly what is now taking place in Venezuela.

It therefore deserves the unequivocal support of not only every supporter of social progress but every genuine believer in democracy in the world.

Venezuela is a state of huge oil wealth that was hitherto scarcely used to benefit the population. Now, for the first time in a country of over 25 million people, a functioning health service is being built. Seventeen million people have been given access to free healthcare for the first time in their lives. Illiteracy has been eliminated. Fifteen million people have been given access to food, medicines and other essential products at affordable prices. A quarter of a million eye operations have been financed to rescue people from blindness. These are extraordinary practical achievements.

Little wonder, then, that Chávez and his supporters have won 10 elections in eight years. These victories were achieved despite a private media largely controlled by opponents of the government. Yet Chávez's visit has been met with absurd claims from rightwing activists that he is some kind of dictator. [only an excerpt]

He's getting a following as he continues his European tour. Scarey.

"Venezuela is a state of huge oil wealth that was hitherto scarcely used to benefit the population.

This is the crap that the Left used to praise Castro early in his regime, while the SU was funding Castro. Now Cuba doesn't provide any decent education or health care, etc. The economy is a disaster except for European tourists and $$ sent from US Cubans. Once the price of oil drops, the same thing will happen in V.

The commom glue that ties together the foundation of the Leftist ideology (communists, socialists, Democrats, Liberals, "Progressives", etc...) is the usage and propogation of "CLASS WARFARE" in their quest for power over the population.

This "class war" is the M.O. for these people througout the course of history, and it is what they use throughout the world (including right here in the USA) today.

They claim to be for the 'poor', but their ultimate aim is their aphrodesiac, POWER and CONTROL over others.

They use class war to gain "appeal" among the masses and gain 'popularity' and leverage over the general population, but once they are in control - GAMES OVER! You lose your rights, property, and the persuit of happiness!

AMERICA, STAY VIGILANT!

THE INVADERS ARE HERE ALREADY.

"Chavez gets hero's welcome in London"

And that is new how?
Didn't these same British give a hero's welcome to Karl Marx too?
If I am not mistaken, the clown died in London didn't he?

Merely the latest chapter in along British tradition of kissing the butts of hard line, left wing dictators.
If those dictators happen to be America-hating psychopaths like Hugo Chavez, even better.

As for The Guardian, they make Pravda look positively respectable.
If they are not calling for President Bush's assassination, they are busy kow towing to left wing dictators.

Good old Red Ken was there to pay obeisance as well was he?
He's never been the same since his hero country, the Soviet Union imploded.
Poor guy.
