And you put Chavez in the same rank with Hitler?

Socialism is Socialism, no matter its stripe!

[kalee]

That’s my mother’s birthday.
Love your tagline.

[rurgan]

My bet is memorial day for Chavez. This socialist monster has killed and tortured millions. To have morons defending this creep is beyond insane and they don’t fool me.

[rurgan]

You democrats don’t fool me.

[Vanders9]

I think you risk becoming the very thing you despise.

Just today (12) Comrade Hugo Chavez Frias proclaimed that Jesus has now cured him of pelvic cancer in Cuba, and that he will return to Caracas to the forefront of the fight with Jesus on his side, to construct SOCIALISM in Venezuela.

This to me a) shows he has not repented nor been converted, and b) is mocking God, such as he did when he made the sign of the cross in the UN with 80% of the world delegates laughing, calling President Bush "Satan". I dont wish cancer on anyone, but, as they say, sew the wind, reap the whirlwind.

Nope, only way I will be convinced is he a) accepts a prominent Venezuelan's pastoral letter to him to repent fully and restor social justice and freedom; b) he renounces socialism, communism and Bolivarianism; c) he takes treatment in the USA not Cuba, and d) he kicks out the 29,0000 Cuban doctors and health specialists under the Che model in his land spread around the country, the Iranians via Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and their missiles, and Hezbollah and their WMD while he's at it, along with. Repentence is actions, not mere words.

Until then, the beckoning sulphur smell will continue to bubble up for El Commandante I feel, and the FR Betting Poll (no money involved, just lightheartedly guessing) shall continue. He still has time. His call.

11 September 2012 in Havana, Cuba.

Sure thing. Done. ;-) Thanks for playing in the FR Guessing Pool.

Reuters just now. Disconcerting:

"Without giving any clues as to the details of his cancer, Chavez said he must continue "rigorously" following medical instructions in coming days. "But as the hours and days pass, I'm sure that with God's favor, medical science and this soldier's body, I will get back to where I must be, in the front line of the battle, alongside the Venezuelan people, promoting the socialist revolution." Such stirring language has helped underpin Chavez's strong connection with Venezuela's poor majority, though critics see it as evidence of his demagogy masking a dictatorial rule. Opposition politicians say Chavez, who has spent about 100 days of the last year in Cuba since being diagnosed with cancer, has left Venezuela in paralysis. "He is a president who never delegates anything. Even the most mundane, daily decision in a ministry, people don't dare take decisions if they think they don't have the president's blessing," Capriles ally Maria Corina Machado told Reuters. "This is a country that is practically paralyzed." "

Is that SEAN PENN, with him in the front seats of the jeep, under the photo being held up of Che Guevara? (Would not surprise me)!!

[Windflier]

I think you risk becoming the very thing you despise.

I don't despise Chavez. I'm not seething with hatred for him, or for any other putrid Communist. I'm simply aware of their degraded state of being, and their many crimes against their fellows.

I feel no more pity for them meeting an untimely end, than I would for a deadly virus that has been successfully eradicated. Their demise is a net positive for the survival of the greater whole.

[rurgan]

Ditto what you say . These democrats here don’t fool me and they think they can make us feel guilty. lol

[rurgan]

You democrats don’t fool me .

[NELSON111]

Bless you noobie.

[AmericanInTokyo]

You might come very close, Laz, come to think about it.

It could be July, they say. Could even be on 4th of July, would that not be something. Or maybe on the anniversary of the start of the Communist Communist Revolution on 26 July....

[AmericanInTokyo]

You may also be a close one, too, my friend.

[AmericanInTokyo]

“Cuban” Communist Revolution (correction)

[prisoner6]

AS long as he’s gone.....WOO-HOO...!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Thread bump.

Getting close now. I would hope he would rescind at least 1/5th of his dictatorial idiocies in reflection in these closing weeks, maybe penitently fly to the USA for a last ditch effort at Sloan-Kettering or elsewhere, and s-can this Cuban medical crap and denounce them. But pride will not allow that. He perhaps believed too much in the medical technologies of Fidel and that horrid island. May God have mercy on his soul. He's probably too late to save now.
