Hugo Chavez's brother talks of armed struggle
 Source: AP

One of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez's brothers said Sunday that backers of the hospitalized leftist leader should not rule out armed struggle in the future, though they prefer to maintain power at the ballot box.

Adan Chavez's statement came as speculation mounted about the health of the president, who has been convalescing at an undisclosed location in Cuba after reportedly undergoing emergency surgery 16 days ago.

Chavez's older brother said Venezuela's ruling party wants to retain power by defeating foes in elections. But he told government supporters that they should be ready to take up arms if necessary.
"As authentic revolutionaries, we cannot forget other forms of fighting," he said during a prayer meeting for the health of his 56-year-old brother in the leader's home state of Barinas.

Translation:  If we loose fair and square at the ballot box, we'll take power by any means necessary.
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

That might be here in the leadup to November 6th, 2012.

The conversation is too long to bring over, but Beth is stupid, as usual, on this thread.  I just love their Chavez squabbles.  They get so vicious.

Political violence has and always will come from the left.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

The Human Events website has something that happened to Glenn Beck last night.  Go watch and listen.

Their only answer to honest elections.
Violent overthrow to suppress the majority if they don't get  their way.
