Do Liberals Love Hugo Chavez?

Of course they do. Isn't Michael Moore divorcing his wife to marry Cindy?  Then they're going to run off to Venezuela to open up taco stores everywhere as well as McDonalds and KFC chains. Thought I read that in the Times.

Liberals and thinking is an oxymoron

There is no doubt.  Chavez in Venezuela is doing his best to form a left-wing coalition against the United States. He is getting obvious support from the new Socialist government in Spain elected by the fear vote in the aftermath of the march 11 subway bombings there.  Spain attempted to sell them U.S. weapon systems just recently. And there are reports Chavez is not only making daily statements against the U.S., the free trade zone, etc., but he is (again,reportedly) making campaign contributions to the left-wing candidate in Mexico whose rhetoric is also anti-American.\n     Everyone and his hermano seem interested in playing the oil card, as it seems to work so well for the Arab nations, and there is the historic ideological influence as well.  Add to that the interest of non-American economic players (Europe, Japan) that may see the free trade zone as an end to their very lucrative interest in maintaining the status quo in South America.\n     The U.S. would do to look well to the interests of the common people in the Americas, give real support to the indigenous populations, promote self-help programs perhaps, certainly no one else has shown an inclination to improve living conditions for the majority of our neighbors to the south.  It is still a land of rich landowners (terratenientes) with an economic tradition that recalls more the tradition of the conquistadores than of democracy and free enterprise.\n      It is an unjust society that without attention could become far less just and far more unstable politically.

liberal conservative?

it's not about hate, conservatives protect all the liberals and their rights. Liberals would not survive living in a world based on their ideology,they would be eaten alive.

No, because that is what you call a dictatorship.\n\nHowever, if instead of being a left-winger, he had been a right-wing, commie bashing, jail all protesters type of guy, then he probably would be dictator for life, and of course a good friend of the USA like many a previous Latin American dictator of that ilk.

That's a big Yes. \n\nAnd before you jump on me about it, I was a liberal, but i got better.

All that you said is very well and good but they don't hear you they want what they want at the expense of the people and that is the way they are "i never have meet a liberal that had a soul" and probably never will they are mostly Communist or socialist to the cause against freedom and the true American people!\nI have said it before and i will say it again liberals feed on their young and they have no loyalty or morals!

It's never a good thing when a fellow world leader refers to you as "El Diablo", I agree with President Chavez on th is one. I can't wait for investigations against DUHbya and his criminal administration begin in early 2007.\n\nhttp://santiago.indymedia.org/uploads/2004/10/aficheapec_copy.jpgmid.jpg

You are all over the place with this one, son.  You'll be hard pressed to find a marxist conservative (the two are on opposite sides of the spectrum) and liberal is more or less between the two and doesn't really fully agree with either side.  Then you want this nutjob to be in the center; somebody has been listening to too much Rush Limbaugh, or Al Franken--I'm not sure which.

The problem is that-regardless of what the claim-liberals are all about individuals. They care only about issues that relate to them and what is in the best interest of them and them alone.  While we like to see the whole country flourish, and not just sit around and complain about how hard we have it.  Your points will never get across to them because they don't understand what it means to sacrifice your own benefits-and your own life-for what you believe in.\n\nIn response to EVILEMPIRE's statement:  That seems to be another problem with liberals, they feel that if you don't question every single thing, you are a "thoughtless drone".  There's nothing wrong with sometimes questioning government, it's what the country was founded on but, just because you agree with things that the governement does that doesn't make you a complete moron or a "thoughtless drone."  If you really wanted to go that route I could say the same about liberals who believe everything the Communist News Network throws at them.
