I Kinda like this new sheriff we have in town! A Gary Cooper kind of guy.
Like this Reich,too. But he will get an ear full from our Fidel loving congresscritters that have been pushing trade with Cuba. All my Rino Rep. JoAnnEmerson has been preaching for the past year is" Time to remove the embargo on Cuba."

" Time to remove the embargo on Cuba."Perhaps it's time for Ms. Emmerson to be removed.
Otto Reich is not one to be intimidated and his opponents know it. He has their number and he'll deal with them as they come. How nice to have men and women of character getting back into government. Now the Senate, what a sorry group of dumb bunnies and low lifes.

Rodriguez criticized the United States for not condemning Chavez's overthrow, saying that "the Yankees are almost always behind coups ... and install dictators."
Hahahahahahahaha! Yep, that's why we support Castro! LOL!!!

And to respond to an obvious question, I know that Chavez was elected (after he failed to take power in a coup in the early 90's). However, he quickly made it clear that he intended to become "president-for-life" on the model of Castro. Did he? Proofs please. And did the Congress also intend to be congress-for-life? And Supreme Court? Or was Chaves unconvenient to the foreign interests?

Castro, Sandinistas and Chomeini was a reaction. A reaction that lasted over 40 years as in the case of Castro. Are you denying that Castro is a murderer and a dictator?

I have a feeling that this year might see a similar phenomenon as dictatorships in Iran, North Korea and elsewhere might be overthrown by popular uprisings. Wishful thinking perhaps but Venezuela might be the spark. The popular uprising in Iran already took place. It was when the shah was overthrown. And the "democratic" (big oil) coup is not finished yet! See the Chavez loyalists take hold in Caracas thread.

I do not like this self-righteous "pro-democratic" hypocrisy when the selfish interest, oil or money is the objective. The rule of Batista, Shah or Somoza was not better than Soviet rule in Poland and most of the time it was worse.

Gotta go now.
