Hugo Chavez "Expropriates" Hell

Welcome to Hell, President Hugo Chavez. Take in a deep breath. Sulfur sure does clear the sinuses. Care to have a little brimstone with that ****sandwich? It’s so sad, many are smiling. You were struck down in your prime. I guess the Devil couldn’t wait for you any longer. Satan has a special place in his blackheart for dictators. Hitler was called to home at age 56. You at least made it to your 58th birthday. Sit down, because you’re going to be there a long time.


 

What is really disturbing is that the people of Venezuela are deeply saddened and frightened at his passing.  Not the productive citizens, of course, but the perennially impoverished.  This man’s policies caused rampant inflation, high unemployment and a scarcity of goods leading to a black market economy; but somehow this man is loved.
 
I don’t understand the mindset of Latin American countries.  But then again, I’m having a hard time with Barack Obama’s reelection.  The Democratic Party has noted the Venezuelan experience.   In time, all of us will be “expropriated.”

Senator Byrd Dead at 92

Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia died today at the age of 92. He was the longest serving lawmaker in the history of the United States. He wrote a history of the United States Senate, and was considered the premier authority on the institution.


Senator Byrd was fond of waving the U.S. Constitution on the Senate floor. I have no doubt that he read it; but I wonder if he understood it. He was no friend of Federalism; and our founding fathers would be perplexed to see this man waving around what they held dear and at the same time vote for that monstrosity called Obamacare.


You would have to be blind, if you didn't see the influence Senator Byrd had on the State of West Virginia. If I didn't know better I would have thought it, the State of Robert Byrd; his name is on everything. His ability of "bringing home the bacon" is a testament to his leadership.


My sympathies to the friends and family of Senator Byrd. I know your hearts are heavy. Hopefully, our wallets will be too with his passing.
