CARACAS—Concern about Venezuela President Hugo Chávez's health grew Friday amid reports the cancer-stricken leader will seek emergency medical care in Brazil, a day after the president broke down during a religious service and begged Jesus Christ to grant him life.

The clueless bishops of the Catholic church pleaded for the military leaders to let Chavez take back his post during the coup that threatened his presidency in its infancy. He showed absolutely no gratitude to the church after getting his power back.

No one should question God’s justice.

The problem with Chavez is he has always thought that what happens on this cess pool earth is important. Even now he begs god to let him live longer HERE! To what purpose?

What is he? 58?

He will die of old age in 20 to 30 years. Why the drama?

“....the president broke down during a religious service and begged Jesus Christ to grant him life.”

.
Pretty sure he’ll get what he wants if he is willing to change his modus operandi.

But, like most of our political leaders, they want something for nothing.

maybe the last time he prayed, it was to be President for Life

Maybe he is getting his wish, except his term is ending sooner than he expected. Fine print...

>No one should question God’s justice.<

.
No one should question God. Period.

To do so would create a huge unending headache.

--...if he is willing to change his modus operandi.

Not likely: Partial transcript of 1985 video interview of KGB defector Yuri Alexander Bezmenov...

"... You are stuck with them. You cannot get rid of them. They are contaminated, They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You cannot change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information, even if you prove that white is white and black is black you still cannot change the basic perception and illogical behavior. In other words, these people, the process of demoralization is complete and irreversible..."

Maybe the lord will answer his prayer and give him a
long life.....just in prison the rest of his days.

God is tricky like that.

[Humble Servant]

God bless this Meat Loaf to our use,
And us to Thy service.
Amen.

Chow down!!!

Amazing how these people find G-d when the end is near.

In case of Latin America, most of them are religious even when they are Communist. Understandable as their religion is Catholicism which is the hotbed of Communism/Socialism. Think Michael Moore.

It’s hotter than the cherry red-hot hinges on the gates to Heck.

Last I knew heck wasn't a place. Hell is though, is that what you meant? Why be such a namby pamby about it. Hell is a word used every day by ministers. I have yet to hear one condemn anyone to heck though.

In the end, Chavez will probably be zonked out on morphine because cancers like this cause intense pain. With as widespread dispersal as this, 9 months is very generous. I'd go six months tops. Hugo had better be making his peace with God now, but Communists and atheists aren't supposed to believe. Well, Hugo, good luck with that — you will need it if you're on the wrong side.
