The Venezuela legislature just granted him power to rule by decree for 18 months.

Yeah, right. I bet he's still there 18 years from now.

Bad deal, man.

This is WORSE than a bullying Executive or emergency "War Powers." Sad

I don't think he's gotten term-limits lifted yet, but that shouldn't be difficult for him now.

Esposito: From this day on, the official language of San Marcos will be Swedish. Silence! In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check. Furthermore, all children under 16 years old are now... 16 years old!

Holy...

Quote

Hundreds of Chavez supporters wearing red the color of Venezuela's ruling party gathered in the plaza, waving signs reading "Socialism is democracy," as lawmakers read out passages of the law giving the president special powers for 18 months to transform 11 broadly defined areas, including the economy, energy and defense.

Quote

The law also allows Chavez to dictate unspecified measures to transform state institutions; reform banking, tax, insurance and financial regulations; decide on security and defense matters such as gun regulations and military organization; and "adapt" legislation to ensure "the equal distribution of wealth" as part of a new "social and economic model."

And most "history repeating itself" again...

Quote

Chavez plans to reorganize regional territories and carry out reforms aimed at bringing "power to the people" through thousands of newly formed Communal Councils, in which Venezuelans will have a say on spending an increasing flow of state money on neighborhood projects from public housing to road repaving.

You mean...SOVIETS?! That's what they were! Communal councils, same stated purpose!

Fudgieghost · « **Reply #9 on:** January 31, 2007, 08:37:52 AM »

Yeah, and if they haven't gotten out yet, look for a rush of middle and upper class Venezuelaians to seek life elsewhere. . . . Miami?

Hey, Chavez never invaded another country. Chavez never wiretapped people or set up secret courts. Chavez never stole an election.
Bush is worse than Chavez!

Thats a tough call, but all in all I think Chavez worries me more.

I'm wondering: Just how do you get people to honestly believe that and so wholeheartedly support such actions such as Chavez's?

OK...

1. Chavez never invaded another country. True. As of right now. Hitler never invaded another country either. Until he did.

2. Chavez never wiretapped people. PROOF, please.

3. Chavez never set up secret courts. PROOF, please.

4. Chavez never stole an election. Neither did Bush.

Yes, I know you were joking. But I think that needs to be laid out for the mouthbreathers as they come here...

The same way that Hitler did it.

Give people hope.

Give them scapegoats as the reason why they're in the condition that they're in.

You forgot the mention making opposition to the regime dangerous to your health. That has to figure in somewhere.

Chavez never stole an election.

Chavez led a military coup against the elected government in 1992. He failed, and was sent to prison. He was pardoned 2 years later.

Sounds familiar. Hitler did eight months of a five year bid for treason.

He at least served time for his crimes. Bush has yet to answer for his.

Chimpeachment any day now.
