i don't like our country
but i do love our country. S.F and Joyce M/Blythe, who do you get your news from? i guess you believe everything they tell you.

i bet you like the country georgia? Georgia is ranked as only "partly free" and slipping backward by the US-based democracy watchdog Freedom House.

National elections last year were flawed. In 2007, antigovernment protesters were violently dispersed. Georgia has made progress fighting corruption, but its courts are still far from independent.
within days of Joe Biden leaving Georgia, uniformed thugs were kidnapping and torturing opposition activists once again.

bet you didn't see that in any news programs.

You know I get my info from a lot of different places, but we know you have a dislike of just about everything.

However, what you said above has nothing to do with Chavez and how he came to power. Does Georgia excuse it? No. Does our own voting issues excuse it? No.

But he certainly does not deserve ANY support from you or anyone else. Did you read his speech? I find that very disturbing.

i meant that a small, weak country was telling a large, powerful country to f@@k off. OK!!!! :o)

I would love to see Ron Paul or another like minded Libertarian in charge of the country's domestic policies... but I think we need a less naive approach towards foreign policy.

At this point in time do you really think that if we brought every last one our troops home that the rest of the world would leave us alone? You really think the 'death to the infidel' types would simply put down their arms and play nice? If so, you're beyond reasoning with...

There is no more co-dependent relationship between government and the private sector than that between Washington and Wall Street. Remember "Too Big to Fail?"
Screw small business that employs most Americans.
Kind of makes Eisenhower's Military-Industrial Complex pale in comparison.

I agree America has been taxing Venezuela with out representation for years now! Our relationship with Venezuela is exactly like the one America had with England 233 years ago. Where the hell did you get your education?

You really hate your country dont you? Do you even know what the term Dictator means? Maybe you and Hugo are buds and you believe averything he tells you. If you dont like our country....get the F*!k out!

don't over complicate my analogies. it makes you to anal. :O)

yup, that's it, I'm just wearing blinders and there was no foulplay in any of his elections or anything.

Foreign policy is the reason you'll never see a Libertarian in the White House. We don't live in a fairytale land where everyone abides by the golden rule. Face it, there are people on this earth that don't act based on reason or logic. There are people that want to see us dead.

233 years ago, the colonies were ruled by Britain, and they had troops here to keep us in line.

Your analogy sucks. It would work if we weren't British subjects and they stationed a couple platoons in Canada.

Just because they lost the cold war, converted to a capitalist economy, and are now awash in petro dollars, doesn't mean that the Russians harbor resentments towards the US. The Russians have learned their lesson and only seek what is good and wholesome for America.
Hogwash. Any student of history can tell you that Russia is and has always been a rabidly nationalistic nation with an inferiority complex. How scary is that, Lane Meyer?

I definiteley feel safer
Obama has gone a week longer than Bush did in office without an attack on America. So, I guess democrats not only care more about American people, but care more about protecting America. I guess Obama actually listens to Intelligence.
By Lane Meyer

9/11 planners had been working on that for a lot longer than anyone had ever heard of Bush and it was Clinton who failed stopping this on many occasions.

And listening to intelligence (the same intelligence community weakened by Carter btw) is what got us looking for wmd's in Iraq.

Careful what you wish for!

Qwerty you assume honor among thieves, er, I mean socialists. Chavez has said in a speech, that the American Empire needs to be crushed and put Russia in it's place.

Here's a rough translation for ya:

http://libertarianwoman.blogspot.com/2009/09/chavez-speech-america-empire-must-end.html

If Obama is as "socialist" as y'all claim he is, then why would Venezuela or Cuba want to attack us?

The fact is, since Obama took office, global public opinion of the U.S. has improved significantly. And that's about the best thing that can happen in terms of national security: If people and governments don't hate you, they are less likely to do you harm. And it might save billions in military spending too.

Last night I listened to Michael Savage and there was this one minute where he wasn't talk about himself and he used that minute to describe a theory. He said Obama may have made an agreement with the Russians to allow Israel to attack Iran if the US abandons its missile shield.

Of course this theory only works if you believe that Obama was looking out for Israel, and to me that sounds ridiculous.

Oh, wait, while Savage was talking about this theory he was bragging about how smart he was for coming up with it. So I guess in that minute he was still talking about himself.

No offense, but the closest thing to a realistic statement in that post was when you spelled 'Venezuela' wrong.

Is America being deliberately placed in a weak position to be exploited?

If the Cuban missle crisis were to happen tomorrow, do you seriously believe Obama and his administration could keep America safe?

...and Kennedy endorsed this man?

...Cuba. A strategic arms partnership between Russia and Venezuela will also draw in and benefit our neighbor 90 miles south of Key West, Florida.
