Chavez will always hate us

A blip on the news scene today noted that Hugo Chavez called Hillary Clinton a "blonde Condeleezza". Apparently, despite our new progressive Presidential leadership, America's policies in Latin America remain the same as when Condoleezza Rice held the position of Secretary of State.

It's actually pretty funny when you think about it. Chavez is the dictator of Venezuela who enacted socialist policies and last enjoyed an economic inflation rate of 30% in 2008. Any way you look at it, Chavez should really hate America with our FREEDOM and all.

That's why it was so strange to anyone paying attention when President Obama sided with Chavez over the overthrow of the attempted dictator of Honduras, Manuel Zelaya. Zelaya tried to change the Constitution while in the Office of President to illegally extend his Presidency. The military in Honduras arrested Zelaya and exiled him from the country.

The Honduran Military was upholding the Constitution.

Our President stepped in and sided with the attempted-dictator along with other socialist pals like Hugo Chavez. Our government worked to restore Zelaya's presidency within hours of the arrest. Supporters of Zelaya claimed that he should stay in power for the sake of democracy. Yet the Supreme Court of Honduras found that Zelaya's "call for a referendum for his term limits to be eased" unconstitutional and the military's actions supported by law.

Despite our President siding with the socialists back in July, Hugo Chavez still hates us. He doesn't think President Obama has done enough to weaken our military, socialize our society or distribute our wealth (whatever that is being that we have a $1.4 trillion deficit on the books). Despite this administration's attempt to take-over our free-market economy, Americans have slowed the ransacking with hopes to return the old glory of this nation.

Oh, back to our blonde Condoleezza. Apparently Hillary Clinton did not only perpetuate the strategies of the Bush administration, she absolutely and completely offended the entire nation of Honduras. With the ousting of attempted-dictator Zelaya, the country has seen blood-shed, violence, arrests and torture by the government in attempts to stifle the pro-democracy movement. With all the damage to Honduras, Clinton said in a recent speech, "The Honduras crisis has been managed to a successful conclusion... it was done without violence".

So, anyway, I'm pretty okay with Hugo Cavez hating America. It means we haven't completely slipped into the depths of socialism.
