…..yet, right here in our own neighborhood a democratic country takes one more step to becoming communist. Hugo Chavez has once again won the Venezuaelan presidency and makes no secret of the fact that he is working toward socialism.
“That new era has begun,” he said, raising a hand in the air. “We have shown that Venezuela is red!… No one should fear socialism… Socialism is human. Socialism is love,” Chavez said. “Down with imperialism! We need a new world!”

Ahhh, politics, gotta love it! With the world looking at the US as being the “Big Bad” (sorry, Buffy) already, this surely will not help us. I can see Chavez laughing it up with his buddies in Iran and Cuba. I wonder if he is giving out Cuban cigars to his buddies? In my opinion, this is another good reason to close our borders and get our immigration problems in order.
As Cuban doctors treat the sick of Venezuela and Chavez brags about his friendship with Cuba, Raul Castro (brother to Fidel and acting leader) decides to extend an olive branch to the US. Mighty kind of him.
Cuba’s acting president, Raul Castro, departing from his brother’s confrontational approach to their arch-enemy the United States, said this weekend he was open for talks with Washington.
But in the same breath:
At a military parade where Cuba rolled out Soviet-era tanks and fighter jets, Raul Castro railed at increased hostility by the Bush administration and condemned the war in Iraq.

Yeah, I think we will just be jumping on that double edged sword. Surely our politicians aren’t that stupid….are they?
