Venezuelan leader: U.S. citizens oppressed

Story dated 29 April 2005

Leftist "Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez promised Friday that he would not visit the United States again until Americans "liberate" their nation." The Venezuelan leader said "that Americans are "oppressed" by their government and U.S. media."

You know what? He's right. We have so many Federal laws on the books that all of us, as Michael Savage said, are just one mistake away from being sent to prison. And out media makes no effort to report on our government when it attempts to oppress us. That's why I started this web log, so I could sort of chaperone the mainstream media and help it accomplish its civic duty.

Hugo Chavez, even though he is right on this issue, is a rank hypocrite. Chavez considers Cuban President Fidel Castro a political ally and close personal friend, and he endorses closer ties between his country and China. For those of you who aren't paying attention, the people in charge of Cuba and China are tyrants. The murderer, Castro, has people shot who are trying to leave his communist island. The tyrants of Beijing think nothing of torturing and murdering citizens who have a different idea of how government should be run. The fact that he won't consort with the United States means that he just doesn't like the United States, it doesn't mean that he cares about our human rights.
