Chavez for Life!
Here's another thing you leftist morons and apologists can chew on: Hugo Chavez presented his long-awaited plan to "revise" the Venezuelan constitution yesterday. Among other things, he proposed the elimination of term limits. Say what? Oh, yes, my friends and neighbors, coupled with a longer term, any Venezuelan president would be able to run for how ever many terms that he'd like.
Does that sound familiar? When questioned about that, Chavez said that this should come as no surprise in that any number of countries do this. Hmmm. Not any number of democracies. When asked about the concentration of power, Chavez stated that this was nonsense: this was a transfer of power to the people. Power to the people. Yah. And other leftist lies. The people he is thinking of consists largely of his family and cronies. Perhaps some paramilitaries too and of course, the Presidential Guard.
Chavez has some other tricks up his sleeve: he will create a "federal system" which has its power sourced by "communal councils" and cooperatives. This effectively by-passes the mayors and other locally elected officials and ensures that his supporters are in power. Sort of sounds like Soviet worker's councils and local party officials. Cooperatives. Uh-huh. Parse this and you see the formation of a classic "communist" state in the Soviet paradigm. As to the vote by the National Assembly and a possible referendum -- those are not votes, anymore than shows of hands on the shop floor of unions. Show hands for the "wrong" vote and you are lucky to keep those hands attached by the end of the day.
Time to meddle, folks. Time to plant a bullet into Chavez's cranium. We do not need a crazy loaded with petrodollars, a taste for violence and a distinct lack of respect for democracy -- in particular Anglo/U.S. style democracy -- right in our back yard. This is not Cuba ... bankrupt and without resources. This is a neighborhood Ahmedinejad (who is on spit-swapping terms with Chavez), and just about as psycho. I do not condone state-sponsored assinations: that puts us in the same league, generally, as the wankers in Iran and the Taliban. But there is a time and a place for everything. Do it already.
