Chavez Warns of Resistance War With U.S.

That is very close-minded and arrogant.

Venezuela isn't the one making a mess of HALF THE WORLD!

You have a good point that Chavez destroys one country and Bush destroys many. Chavez will destroy many if given a chance and Bush gives him that chance by raising his profile among nations that resist American hegemony. Both men hate the individual and seek complete government control over humanity. At least Chavez is honest about his thuggery...

Damn, I wish you'd grow a patch of common sense. Or is it that you're happy convincing me you're rather stupid?

Overly much of the planet is run by oligarchies, not democracies. This is not a satisfactory situation, and I've set forth why elsewhere. Socialist oligarchies are among the very worst, and I've seen this. What, dear laddie, have you seen? Your postings say not very much. There's no shame in being guided by somebody of more experience than yourself, you know.

Messing up oligarchies and disposing of socialists is how the world gets better, Pierce.

Arrogant is a term used by the weak of will or weakly motivated to disparage initiative and motivation of which they disapprove, most generally for reasons of infinitesimal worth, long before jettisoned as worthless by the one they're yelling at.

I don't follow any political philosophy...

All right, I'm throwing the BS flag. No one who has read your posts can mistake your political stance: it is hostile to democracies and friendly to authoritarian less-than-democracies. You have never to my knowledge been caught supporting a democracy in these forums. I have with reason called you a fascist sympathizer before; that assessment still stands.
