An interesting piece. Giving oil wealth to ideologues is a certain recipe for international meddling. It’s what’s fueling radical Islam. The problem Huey’s having is that you really can be stupid enough to kill even that golden-egg-laying goose. He’s managed it in record time.

Noticed Otto was on a radio show with Frank Gaffney. ( I know I didn’t know Gaffney hosted a show either)

This article doesn’t lack a common sence at all but it seems like author is going into another blame crap.

Democracy needs a responsible middle class to function. If one have difficulties getting a democracy 90% of the problem is in a societies itself who failed to cope with freedom and only 10% at max in any sort of commie conspiracy blame lovers like to mention.

You won’t stole a democracy from responsible middle class people. They won’t ever give it back.

ALBA’s hostile-takeover pattern is clear: After gaining power democratically, they use force to intimidate political adversaries and the media; politicize the police and the military and place them at the orders of the ruling party; pack the judiciary with compliant or corrupt judges; rewrite electoral laws to eliminate opposition candidates and parties; seize private property or force businesses to close using bogus charges; incite mob violence to force potential opponents into silence or exile; and attack the churches, civic associations, press, labor unions, and any other civil institutions that dare to challenge the government. Their stated model is Cuba; they seek to replicate the Orwellian dictatorship that rules that island, a pauperized prison-nation whose citizens risk everything to flee.  

Sounds exactly like what Obama's doing to the United States.
