I'm still not seeing any sort of justification presented by Lady T for this ridiculous support of Chavez. It seems that it might have something to do with cheap oil or propane, but surely T has a better reason?
I hope she realizes, Chavez is a totalitarian dictator, and in his country, there is no such thing as equal or civil rights. There is no ACLU or NAACP to stand up for the less fortunate, or any other special interests. We have those things here, because we live in a free democratic society, unlike Venezuela.
I think Lady T just wanted to be 'extreme' here, and see if she could stir up controversy. After all, she can come here and state her allegiance to Chavez without any worries that America will ever adopt Venezuelan socialism. Sort of like the 60's pinheads who fawned over Mao, knowing full well, America wasn't going to adopt Communism as a form of government.
It's amazing to me, how pinheads use the freedom our soldiers died to protect, to utter such absurd nonsense. The very freedoms that enable them to pontificate this profound wisdom and intellectual enlightenment, is forbidden in those type governments, and punishable by death.
