As usual, the Democrats let a ripe, and very large opportunity to stand on some truths go by. As usual, they have joined the "outrage" of the neocon in the comments that Ugo Chavez has made. Yes they were outrageous, those comments about Bush being the devil ~ but tell me, have not at least some of we liberal Christians ~ as well as every other liberal activist out there working for justice and peace against everything Bu$h and his minions have done in the world to promote war, starvation and the enriching of themselves from that terrible suffering, not thought the same at times?
We who know about about our faiths' crack-pot ravings from right wingers about the so called "anti-christ". We know these are the ravings of a 19th century preacher who used the mythical apocalypse to foment fear so he could line his pockets with the millions of widows' pennies that "miraculously" turns into riches when combined. We know the very same rhetoric is used today by the religious wing nuts to line their pockets so they can do things like, oh, fly to Africa and use the millions they've gathered from fearful parishioners to invest in gold mines who use children as slave labor. We know that these religious crackpots are the ones whispering instructions, like red-caped devils with pitchforks sitting on the shoulders of this administration
So these same Dems are now lining up like sheep to baaa with those same wing nuts so "surprised" at the vehemence of Chavez. Those Dems should know what we know, since we are the "unwashed masses" and they are part of the "illuminati".
* Instead of saying that this president tried to assassinate Ugo Chavez.
* Instead of speaking out about how the U.S. tried to break the unions of oil workers for this president
* Instead of speaking out about the coup organized by the U.S. righties who think they should get all the profits from the rich oil fields down there, rather than being used to enhance the infrastructure of Venezuela ~ and of the U.S. (see below).
* Instead of speaking out about how the U.S. pinned on a bunch of medals and escorted a rich oil executive as the new president out in front of the microphone. The same kind of wingnut media microphone hogs we have right here in America. Only to find out that the army, loyal to Chavez not this puppet, who do not listen to that media because they know it is all just a bunch of propaganda, sat right below them in the palace basement awaiting orders from Chavez. So slowly the puppet removes the medals one by one and slinks out the back door. Dems can't talk about THAT now can they? Nope, they'd rather be "outraged" at Chavez saying loud what many of us think in our hearts.
* Instead of speaking out about how We The People of VZ stood up and said, "WE are the ones who voted Chavez in, WE will be the ones who decide whether or not to take him out, not YOU!" Bu$h picked just another rich white elitist like all the white-trash rich here are raking in massive profits for themselves, from the war killing thousands of people, and in private for-profit prisons using the minorities and any poor as slave labor. Bu$h used this useless oil executive to take Chavez' place instead of listening to WE The People and, huh how strange ... it didn't work!
* Instead of speaking out about how Chavez, not this administration who are all right wingers, do nothing for the poor (or anyone else but the rich) of this country ~ but Chavez is giving oil to the American poor so they won't freeze this winter, the same people Bu$h ignores. .
* How Chavez is also busy working with Cuba to build desperately needed health care centers for the poor in American inner cities because our horribly broken health care system. Dems as well as Chavez are well aware of the insidious incurable TB that is creeping through the homeless and making its way to the rest of us here. The Dems know about the upswing of AIDS that is rampantly running through the barrios and rural and inner city areas, the untreated diabetes, the slowly growibng untreated cancers and the asthma killing our children, all being ignored ~ they prefer to pretend that Chavez is the outrageous one.
*Instead of speaking out about WHY Ugo Chavez says this president is the devil, they would rather feign "surprise" and "outrage". Any one of the above could be a talking point for the Dem's, but no, they go on TV and the radio and express their outrage at how Chavez is treating their poor, poor, POOR wittle pwesident, instead of saying something like, "Sure Chavez' words are outrageous and yes it is over the top, but I might also call anyone the "devil" who (insert any of the talking points above) that Bu$h Republicans created and allowed ~ or all of the above.
If the Dems only spoke the truth they would have the same disenfranchised 60% poor who voted Ugo Chavez as president as Venezuela had out in the streets and voting booths with them. Rather than pretending a bunch of words instead of true DEEDS is the way to make talking points.
What a royal and disgusting waste time and what a bunch of hot air! GET WITH IT DEMS OR YOU ARE ONLY THE JACKASSES YOU USE AS AN ICON!
Gawd sometimes I want to scream into my pillow, but instead I end up crying into it!
Cat In Seattle <---spittin' mad and frustrated!
