Chavez isn't perfect .. but he's supported by his people and has advanced their quality of life exponentially.

It doesn't matter to you that he's widely popular with his countryman and throughout Latin America. That makes no difference to you.
It doesn't matter that he has im proved the quality of life for all Venezuelans .. which is why he's so popular. That doesn't matter to you either .. you who voted for George Bush.
Save the crap for those who cocnsistently find any reason to create a thread about Chavez .. I didn't do it. However, I am wildly entertained by the fixation on a small nation when THIS NATION is in deep shit on almost every level.
Speaking of a strawman, I've never once suggested that anyone was going to invade Venezuela .. you did.
Don't get your panties twisted brother .. I'm simply enjoying the idocy of always looking out the window for problems when you can't stand your own reflection in the mirror.

It's the glazed eyed left who have been trained to think Chavez is a good man...he's an arrogant megalomaniac...
This thread is about the tens of thousands of ...wait for it...VENEZUELANS who want the man and his fascist policies gone.
Here's a free thinking Chavez in action

Give up the high fives for USC.
You totally nailed it man.
Glenn Beck fans have been trained like monkeys to complain about Chavez, and post 500 threads about him.
He ain't perfect, but he's certainly better than 90% of the regimes and juntas who have ruled latin america, often with our assistance, for the last century. And, who can dispute that he overwhelmingly won several elections and is probably the most popular venezuealan leader in modern history?
It's most defintely about corporate interests and $$$$$.....which is why Glenn Beck has his marching orders to train the chimpanzees to squeal like stuck pigs about chavez on a never-ending basis.

Hugoland is not our country to rule for corporate interests.
That is my point.
We will be squealing about that kind of thing happening here soon enough with China's (and others) growing corporate interests in the USA.
Ohh wait it has already begun.

Alternatives to Corporate Globalization: Venezuela's ALBA
Since the election of Hugo Chávez as president of Venezuela in 1998, a fundamental shift is taking place. For the first time, oil revenues are being used to provide health care, education, clean water, subsidized food,
electricity, and other basic services to all Venezuelan citizens – and especially the poor who were marginalized under previous neoliberal governments.
But the impacts of Venezuela’s new economic model are not just benefiting the citizens of Venezuela. A fundamental aspect of Venezuela’s vision for the future of Latin America is creating an alternative to the neoliberal model of corporate globalization that will roll back the growing scourge of poverty in the region.
According to the UN, 222 million people - 43% of the population of Latin America - are poor, with 96 million – nearly one in five – living on less than a buck a day.
...
A key aspect of Venezuela’s opposition to corporate globalization is regarding the privatization of services like health care, education, and distribution of water, which are guaranteed in Venezuela’s Constitution.
Education: For example, Venezuela has accomplished a massive literacy campaign that has taught over 1.4 million Venezuelans how to read and write. Venezuela has also built or refurbished over 9,000 elementary schools, vastly increasing enrollment, and now provides lunches to disadvantaged schoolchildren.
Water: Venezuela has been carrying out a large-scale project to ensure clean water to all Venezuelan citizens. Lack of access to clean water is the single biggest killer of poor people worldwide, yet privatizing water is a top
agenda of the corporations promoting globalization.

Venezuela
Something unprecedented is happening in Venezuela. Since the election of Hugo Chavez in 1999 Venezuela has embarked on a profound and controversial project of reinventing society from within, changing a political and economic system that benefits the few and powerful to one that gives ordinary Venezuelans a seat at the table.
Now, for the first time, millions of Venezuelans have access to education, job training, housing, land, clean water, health care, and something maybe even more precious: dignity.
While the personality of Hugo Chavez monopolizes the headlines and the mainstream media reduces complex issues to simplistic soundbites, the reality of the Venezuelan revolution is complex, contradictory and ever-changing. With new spaces for political participation opened to grassroots social movements, once-marginalized Venezuelan citizens have come out of the shadows to demand an active role in society.
Community-based health care missions now bring medical services to poor neighborhoods. Educational programs are putting millions more children into new schools, while new university opportunities are providing higher education to Venezuelans previously shut out of the system. At the same time, women, indigenous peoples, and Afro-Venezuelans are gaining stature and rights, while a high-profile agrarian reform campaign is giving poor farmers access to land.
Venezuela is also becoming a leader in regional integration, particularly in the promotion of viable alternatives to corporate globalization and the "free trade" economic model. The proposed Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas (ALBA) would prioritize regional cooperation to strengthen Latin American economies. Venezuela also helped create the Bank of the South, an alternative source of funding for development in Latin America, TeleSur, a Latin American news channel, and PetroAmérica— the first fully integrated, Latin American oil company.

I recognize that living conditions getting better is not good news to you because all you're interested in is PROFITS. I have other interests when it comes to Venezuela or anywhere else .. what benefits the people is my concern, not what benefits corporations.
Venezuela is not dependent on US taxpayers for a dime .. yet Israel is and in fact couldn't survive without US taxpayer dollars AND it subjugates a large portion of it's population .. yet you have a problem with Venezuela.
amazing
