Evo Morales – the President of Bolivia – is described as the mini-me of Hugo Chavez of Venezuela. Morales is utilizing the Chavez playbook to convert Bolivia into a Communist regime as Chavez has done in Venezuela.
There is on big difference though. Morales’ efforts though roughshod are not going smoothly in duping the Bolivian opposition as Chavez has done in Venezuela.
Ergo Morales faces a potential of removal at the hands of an increasingly angrier Bolivian people and political opposition. There are implications that Morales might survive the opposition if he is a bit more deceptive. Hopefully Bolivian are smarter than Venezuelans and put a stop to Morales before his power base becomes autocratically dictatorial.

Well Chavez’s bellicose move to the Venezuela/Columbia border was not merely because Columbia crossed the Ecuador/Columbia border to bring justice to FARC’s second in command Raul Reyes. It turns out the Columbian military acquired more than the justice of bringing down a Marxist committed to bringing down democracy of Columbia. Columbia discovered a laptop that contained damning evidence of Chavez doing business with FARC in drugs and weapons grade Uranium.
The laptop is the smoking gun that the USA-Columbia joint efforts to battle drug cartels (of which hypocrite Communist FARC is a member) was cutting into Chavez’s bottom line in the illegal drug business.
There is more: Chavez is a staunch ally with President Ahmadinejad of rogue nation Iran who has been recently exposed as working on weapons grade uranium (regardless of the NIE Report).
So we have the international exchange of money between NARC and Hugo Chavez. We also have Chavez being the middle man in providing weapons grade Uranium to NARC.
Gosh, I wonder where the uranium came from.

The Columbia military entered Ecuador and killed a high echelon leader of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia (Hispanic anagram: FARC).
FARC is a Communist terrorist group whose political goal is to bring repressive Communism to Columbia; however its operations are drug trafficking, kidnapping for ransom, extortion and the general use of terrorist tactics to control the local people FARC has infiltrated and to strike fear in the people of Columbian controlled areas.
Ecuador has cajones in allowing FARC to hide within their national borders. If Columbia has the power to back up threats to their National Security, they have every right to chase terrorists across foreign borders. Ecuador should be condemned for harboring FARC. Indeed harboring FARC could be almost considered an act of war against Columbia.
Venezuela’s reaction was hostile to Columbia. Chavez the President of Venezuela has slowly eroded Democratic institutions since coming to power as an overt Communist striking up an anti-American friendship with Cuba.
Ecuador’s President Rafael Correa describes himself as Socialist and a Roman Catholic and a personal friend of Communist Hugo Chavez.
Thus when Columbia decided to take action against FARC on Ecuadorean soil, it is not surprising that both Venezuela and Ecuador mobilized there military to their borders with Columbia.
This mobilization of military elements in essence validates the Venezuelan and Ecuadorean governments’ support of drug dealing terrorists that operate under the umbrella of Communism.
If Venezuela and Ecuador actually do more than rattle their sabers at Columbia, America should support the Columbian government with a military strike that reminds Chavez and Correa that they can still be spanked even without an American invasion.
Let us place Hugo Chavez’s election victory in in a Christian/Capitalist perspective, especially since Chavez calls Jesus Christ the greatest socialist that ever lived.
Did Jesus care about the communal care of all humanity? Yes.
Did Jesus believe in a State that managed the collective care of humanity? Yes and no.
The purpose for the first coming of Jesus Christ was to deliver humanity from the grip of the dark slavery of the world system of Satan’s twisted kingdom and transfer humanity into the Light of the – a Saving Deliverance.
The question then becomes: What is the Kingdom of God?
Is the Kingdom of God a human market society in which the rules of Capitalism determine value and opportunity to better oneself? No.
Is the Kingdom of God a human managed system in which personal human profit is taxed heavily by the government in order for the government to manage every social and communal service for the betterment of humanity? No.
Is the Kingdom of God a Communist government in which all property is owned by the Kingdom and all human duty is owed to the Kingdom in order for the Kingdom to manage every aspect of rights and privileges of humanity? No.
The Kingdom of God is a union with God and humanity by the Redemptive act of Jesus Christ. The Redemption of Christ restores the strait path of right standing between God and humanity undoing the twisting of human nature caused by Satan. Greed, avarice, illicit pleasures, dark domination within humanity individually and collectively is all ended in the Kingdom of God. The attributes of the Goodness of God is more than just normal, the Goodness is an ingrained part of human nature that comprehends what God knows: viz. that evil is wrong and Godly virtue is good.
Kingdom of God living is intuitively (without even thinking about a right or wrong) is living the will of God. Living the will of God in the Kingdom of God is not because the State enforces God’s Law (or else), but Living the will of God is an Oneness of thought between God and humanity. This is the Divine Collective as opposed to a human enforced collective by violence and compulsion.
Chavez’s claim that Jesus Christ is the greatest socialist is merely a Communist ideological ploy to get a deluded populace on board with Chavez program before the people understand that Liberty, Rights and Privilege have been surrendered to a despotic State government.
On various blogs that I participate on, I often receive negative commentary due to my Christian Right Neoconservative bent.
Incredibly one of those comments from a Slanted Left thinker implied that Hugo Chavez is doing a good thing for his Venezuelan citizens. If Venezuelans voted to reelect Chavez, why should America involve itself in Venezuelan politics or Chavez’s anti-American antics? That was pondering of a Leftie.
Apparently the Left in the West is so virulent against Bush that they do not comprehend the harm to National Security Chavez can ensue. Indeed, Chavez’s new pal President Ahmadinejad of Iran will hamper International Security. Iran is a rogue nation that has been proven to support financially and with the supply of military weapons to known terrorist organizations.
So is Chavez good for Venezuelans?
