"Have you noticed the complete SILENCE OF THE LEFT on what Chavez is doing in Venezuela"

Is there anyone here who doubts that the left in this country is drooling in envy at what Chavez is doing? Does anyone not believe that the left would do the same thing here if it could get away with it? We see now that the left protects free speech until its in power; then it doesn't protect it anymore. The same could be said about many other rights. The left's political arguments are the means to an end. The principles upon which its arguments are based are not important in their scheme of things. All the left's political efforts are aimed at obstruction of what is not in its agenda. However, the left won't divulge its true agenda. Just as Chevez knew what he was doing, he never mentioned his agenda until it was too late for any party to stop him.

Precisely!

I have always noticed how there is a sub-culture of symbolic communication among the left in which they silently express their real intentions to each other. In Latin America they promise "to establish a genuine system of information in the name of the people, not the powerful," which is code for "we're going to make sure that everyone sees what we want them to see and nothing more." I saw how Lopez Obrador made the promise in Mexico speaking outside the supreme electoral tribunal (TEPJF) when he said that "the people are not hearing the truth, we're going to reform institutions so that the people hear the truth and know the truth." What he was really saying is "once we get in we're going to make our story becomes the only one that MUST be told."

The left represent the continuing predeliction among human beings to enslave their fellow man so as to control their ideas. They've never been anything more than that since the dawn of the twentieth century, if not earlier.
