Hugo Chavez is a communist.

Hugo Chavez hates the US.
Hugo Chavez said something designed to make it to the US newspapers.
Hugo Chavez is the mouse that roared, an anti-American head of a tiny country. He's a plucky li'l psycho who's oozing confidence at this apparent failure of the American system.
I can say that a nationalized company isn't necessarily a bad thing. The US needs to develop it's production facilities and needs to be able to maintain a ready armed forces. Since the US has piecemeal been selling off its manufacturing assets for the past fifty years, I worry for the US' armed forces.
However, I am mystified at the stupidity of taking a company that has failed utterly to produce what the marketplace wants and nationalizing the debt. Why, in the name of all that is holy, would anyone buy a failing company and then let the people who caused it to fail to keep running it?

Honestly speaking, I do not understand how someone claiming to be speaking in the name of Jesus Christ can spread so much nonsense in such a short virtual space. If you haven't noticed, Venezuelan President Chavez has improved the popular resources for the equal access to education among the most poor in the Venezuelan society. He was taken to power by a majority of the Venezuelan popular vote. During the years he has been in government, people of the poorest sectors have obtained better living standards and many are hoping now to return to their countries of origin for the realization of a true and more fair American Dream. Stop insulting other countries' elected officials and rise to your proper stature as a representative of a culture that is crying for wisdom from the shadow of an empire.
