43. What is happening to this country is not silly.
The PC moderated corporate diluted representation that we get from our
Democratic party in a time of a hyper nationalist fear campaign is not silly.

All I have seen from the Democrats is pandering compared to the fighting
I would expect when thugs in our White House successfully dilute the
Bill of Rights, spy on me, and lie our young people into harms way in
bogus wars while ripping the Geneva Conventions to shreds.

Hugo Chavez defines what is going on here by his use of hyperbole.
Pelose and Rangel once again confuse everyone by blurring the line
between the thugs in the White House and those of us who feel vaguely
that somehow their country is being stolen.

I listened to Hugos speech in its entirety last night and I am sorry
Mr. Skinner but I wish my own representatives had the guts he has.

Our party is intimidated even today in the face of legalizing torture.
This is not silliness Mr. Skinner. This is a country being bullied by
the oldest fascist Orwellian tactics in the book and a man from
another country who is not compromised by corporate campaign
money and American special interests spoke like a free citizen.

You go Hugo. I think I'll go read that Noam Chomsky book you recommended.
