Here's what I would have said to Hugo Chavez, had I seen him at the last

(this is the last thing I'll post of this nature, because the man is now dead and gone).

Thank you, President Chavez.

You were not a living saint, but who is?

(besides which, most saints, when they were alive, were bloody annoying to everyone who knew them).

You made some choices I might not have made...but I wasn't running a country under siege and under external attack, so there's limits to what I can or should say about that...legitimate limits.

You gave a voice(the community councils and the democracy-from-below structure of your great party)to those who had had no voice...and that is the reason you were denouced by so many of those who call themselves not only conservatives and centrists but also so many who call themselves "liberals".

You used the wealth generated by the resources of your country, not to buy mansions, expensive cars, expensive food, expensive wines, expensive sexual partners and everything else that could be turned into something to be sold for top dollar(as those who denounced and still denounce you think all wealth SHOULD rightfully be used, by the lucky few), but to provide for the people of your country food, shelter, clothing, education for all, dignity for the living, care for the sick and a gentle passage out of this world for those whose time had come. For this, the groups I listed in the last sentence of the previous paragraph will NEVER forgive you-they will do all they can to destroy what you built, because what you built was a foundation of the truth...the truth that those with great quantities of money(gathered by whatever means)are not the ONLY people who deserve to live.

You made it possible for the Rainbow majority of people, in your country and in many others, to begin saving themselves from the misery of their own conditions and to hold once again in their souls the vision of a world far different and far better than the one most of us are trapped in now...and that is an even greater reason why you will die reviled in most of the great centers of wealth, media, and political and military power-because, where they live by destroying dreams of anything other than accumulating possessions, you showed that the many could live for the dream of a life where all TRULY live, not just survive.

For all of that, for your courage, for your strength in times of personal pain, for your insistence on carrying on when under attack from those who would destroy you and your country, thanks. Your body will soon be at rest, but you will live on.

You will live on in the hearts, the minds, the joy, the rage, the strength, and the will of the poorest, hungriest, most beautiful children of the Earth...the children your enemies want to kill in their youth, emotionally if not physically...the children who will, if given the chance, if not crushed by the hatred and fears of the worst of their elders, make the world we need...the children on whose future life depends.

Thank you for showing those children the path they will now take-the path to a world where they can live, not just struggle to live until they die

Hasta La Victoria Siempre. Be at peace.

A whole lot of crazy in that post.

Lucky for us a lousy freeper troll stopped by and they thoughtfully debated him with facts like they always do.

13. er...you spelled "which" wrong.

That right there totally destroyed his argument. Because we all know a typo will totally negate any argument.

And tell me he did no good for his country.

This DUmmy pulled out the old reliable charts that they love to post at the DUmp. The same technique they love to use to prop up our dictator, 0bama.

Now for the best post on this thread.

9. He was what we need in this country now.

Someone who really believes in people before obscene
Profits.

We have that now. 0bama has even said now is not the time for profits. He also ignores the constitution on a daily basis. You have a Chavez in office and can't even appreciate that. And we are getting the same results poverty is expanding and more and more people will be lost when 0bama leaves office and wonder who is going to take care of them.

Yep DU is populated by intelligent people.  :whatever:
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Here Hugo, let me fluff your pillow for you.

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.”

Imagine the idiocy it takes to look at facts and then pretend they don`t exist.

I would have said "Say hi to Tookie."
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.

Would have been kind of tough to talk while fellating him, wouldn't it, DUmbass?
"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

6. Of course not - however skyrocketing crime, food shortages, inflation, and declining oil production

are not the sign of a healthy country.

It is hard to argue that Chavez managed the economy wisely -

I know what you really said there. Bet the DUmp doesn't.

And you would win your bet.

A DUmmy would say, "She didn't mention moles!" Even if I used that stupid sarcasm thing.
