Hugo Chavez is a dictator like his mentors in the world of dictatorship such as The Castro Brothers in Cuba [who have killed, tortured, and repressed], Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe [who is stealing elections], and the Republicans and Democrats [who love to talk about human rights but in fact maintain the Castro Brothers, Chavez, and Mugabe in power while repressing the Libertarian and Green Party in power]. Chavez as well as the rest of vestiges of the Cold War such as Communists Ortega, Morales as well as the Republicans and Democrats know only one thing, how to obtain power and maintain it for a long time. Chavez [like Castro, Communists, the Republicans and Democrats] know how to use electoral laws to exclude those who do not agree with them. Chavez [like Castro, Communists, Republicans, and Democrats] are also experts in supressing television and radio stations that do not agree with them. After all, Chavez removed RCTV from the air because Chavez could not tolerate any criticism. Castro and Washington [as well as the Mogul Dictator Bloomberg and CNN or Cable News Network] applauded the decision. For those who say that Venezuela was a place for the rich before him, let me tell you that I lived in Venezuela while Carter was President. I also want to tell you that while Venezuela had problems just like any other democracy [especially a Socialist Democracy which lasted from 1958-1999], there was peace, love, and none of the hatred and racism that existed in the United States of America. I can say that I loved Venezuela more than the United States at that time [and maybe I still do].
Chavez also wanted to remake the Constitution in Venezuela to make himself President for life [in the same vein that Castro, the Communists, and Nazis as well as the Republicans and Democrats have done]. Chavez looked for people to blame for his failures [just like the Communists, Nazis, Republicans, and Democrats] as a way to divert attention from his failures. It was because of this megalomaniac that Venezuela was very close to going to war with Colombia in the year 2008. Thank God that the Colombian Singer Juanes with other singers such as Alejandro Sanz, Juan Luis Guerra, and Ricardo Montaner were able to do a concert for peace which ocurred in the border between Venezuela and Colombia. It was because of this concert that war was avoided.
It would not surprise me that the day Chavez loses an election that he starts to behave like Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe by ordering arms from different countries in order to supress liberties and make a "second round". His mentors Castro as well as the Republicans and Democrats do the same thing.
I would like to add that for all of his insults towards the United States, Chavez allows his friend Vice President Dick Cheney's business called Halliburton to maintain an office in Caracas, Venezuela. After all, they are good friends. I hope that one day God will answer my prayers which is that the day Castro and Chavez falls, they take with them their masters in Washington called the Republicans and Democrats.
