- From the Australian: "Then President Chavez brought the house down.
When he said the process in Copenhagen was “not democratic, it is not inclusive, but isn’t that the reality of our world, the world is really and imperial dictatorship…down with imperial dictatorships” he got a rousing round of applause.
When he said there was a “silent and terrible ghost in the room” and that ghost was called capitalism, the applause was deafening.
But then he wound up to his grand conclusion – 20 minutes after his 5 minute speaking time was supposed to have ended and after quoting everyone from Karl Marx to Jesus Christ - “our revolution seeks to help all people…socialism, the other ghost that is probably wandering around this room, that’s the way to save the planet, capitalism is the road to hell....let’s fight against capitalism and make it obey us.” He won a standing ovation."
However, in a way I have to say that Ahmadinejad and Chavez do have a point. We had it all, and threw it away in our last election by choosing a marxist thug to run a quasi-capitalist economy sinking deep into deficit territory through 70 years of wealth transfers. How smart was that?
Where's our moral right to tell any country how to run its affairs, its industry or its military?
- We have the technology to clean up pollution and to help our neighbors to the south and in Africa both, but not if we let our federal government continue to destroy private business, initiative and free markets. Not if we destroy our fossil fuel industries.
- We have free elections which Venezuelans and Iranians can only dream about and which would give Chavez and Ahmadinejad nightmares. Yet we reelect the Barney Franks and Harry Reids and wonder why we're in a mess with the White House controlling the Congress.
- We stay home from the polls and don't object when the left goes to court to aid illegals and the non-registered who were denied the vote.
- Our president gives away like it was nothing one of our most precious rights--trial by jury--to admitted terrorists who should have been tried by the military tribunals set up by law.
- We have freedom of religion guaranteed by our Constitution, yet we're fast placing legal muzzles on preachers in the name of gay rights, and our mainline churches are ripping their Bibles to shreds.
- We're infantilizing huge segments of our population, check any city--Detroit, New Orleans, Cleveland--overrun by helpless poor, and its been run for decades by Democrats, keeping them forever at the bottom, discouraging hope and progress until it's time to vote.
