Interesting article, but noticably absent from the description of Morales is that he's a COCA FARMER (article refers to him only as "a farmer" and "an indian").

I wonder if most in the U.S. are even aware of the fact that a coca farmer is now the PRESIDENT of the country of Bolivia, commisserating with Hugo Chavez in Venezuela and Fidel Castro in Cuba, among others.

The shocking reality is that this man has been elected as President of the country, at least, shocking when compared with our civilization, and the vast differences of mentalities between our nation and these in South America and the Caribbean.

It looks like Evo Pendejo has a fancy for bagels too.

The knee-jerk populism of South American/Central American voters has brought them nothing but misery for 180 years.

I bore easily reading about worthless Communists.

Did the article mention the 'moment of silence' for Che the Commie Thug Murder Guevara at this throne ceremony?

Close the border!

[chet_in_ny]

Yes, let's glorify a friggen leftist thug. The MSM is ridiculous. I couldn't stomach the Harper stories this morning.

[Semper Paratus]

The good news is that with the Socialists taking over coca farming the crop yields will plummet.

EVO MORALES, NEW PRESIDENT OF BOLIVIA, PRAISES COCA

Does he have her autograph?

[NutCrackerBoy]

I can imagine Evo praising Coca. She was pretty great.

[Mike Darancette]

I would imagine that Cuba is rather hard on cocaine smugglers.

Moral Absolutes Ping List.

DISCUSSION ABOUT: Bolivia, Evo Morales, Cocaine, Castro and Terrorism

This thread was not originally intended for the "moral absolutes" area of discussion, but it has taken a turn into a moral one, with a few persons arguing the moral relativism of the "unblamable drug cartels" while attempting to also blame the United States for the use of drugs -- which, in my view, fulfills the best hopes of the cartels themselves: "that the U.S. is inherently bad and the poor peasants are right and good to uprise and conquer the evil U.S."

I paraphrase but am quite concerned about the issue of narco terrorism. And that South and Central America are emerging as the second home to Hamas, with a partnership between politico-terrorists and narco-terrorists certainly underway.

Sadly, some on this thread reduced the issue to the argument that they want their "chocolate" and the rest, "why care".
