Chavez spewing anti-American and anti-Israel propaganda and befriending Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ..... who needs it!

Why do you care? .........................

Why? because I just care of what is happening in the world.That's why.

 

[Mr. H.]

LOL. 5 minutes into CBS news and NO mention his Hugo.

I personally have wondered about all these Right Wing Americans who get terribly, terribly upset about guys like Castro and Chavez for flipping us off. Like it ruins their day that there's someone out there who doesn't think we are all wonderful.

you know anyone who has ever been there Joe?......i know 3 during his time....they all had the same basic opinion about the place.....they all wanted out after just a few days there...... and one couple using a time share passed themselves off as Cubans.....and they still wanted out of there......and these two were no RW's......

1.7 million Americans will say a prayer. It was CITGO and Hugo Chavez who helped the poor and elderly stay warm during the coldest months of winter by donating more than 200 million gallons of heating oil worth more than $400 million.

Since the program's creation, CITGO has partnered with Citizens Energy Corporation, a non-profit organization created in 1979 by former U.S. Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy II. Citizens Energy Corporation, which has used successful ventures in the energy and health care industries to finance charitable programs in the U.S. and abroad, has provided energy assistance to families in need for more than 30 years.

"We are so grateful for this generous donation from the people of Venezuela and CITGO Petroleum Corporation. After eight years and more than 200 million gallons of heating oil distributed within the U.S., the burden of another difficult winter threatens the livelihood and safety of senior citizens and low-income families," Kennedy said. "It is critical that we continue to support American families through this program. Thanks to this partnership, we will help more than 400,000 people stay warm and safe this winter."

Kennedy emphasized the commitment CITGO has made to American communities.

Kennedy said that he has approached major U.S. oil companies and oil-producing nations to ask them to assist the poor in bearing the burden of rising energy costs. "They all said no," he said, "except for CITGO, President Chávez and the people of Venezuela."

gee i wonder if he had an ulterior motive for doing that?......

CITGO Renews Heating Oil Donations, Continuing Chavez Policies - WSJ.com

The program has drawn fire from opponents to Mr. Chavez in Venezuela, who have said that the state should be spending more at home rather than in charity in the U.S., a developed country.

Really?

Frankly, there are a lot of dictators, rulers and governments that are a lot worse than Hugo ever was.

But they didn't stick their thumbs in our eye...

As people say to me all the time, an anecdote isn't proof.

Again, there are so many dictators out there who are a lot worse than Hugo, and some of them are even our allies, so we turn a blind eye.

We don't like Hugo because he spent time flipping us the bird. So this is really about our hurt feelings rather than any concern for the people of his country.

Same thing with Cuba. Man, if Cuba were a woman, we'd be the Ex-Boyfriend From Hell.

If you really care, then you need to have the curiosity and courage to learn what the Empire of America has done in the rest of the world. Learn what Ron Paul is talking about when he explains 'blow back'. Learn the history of the CIA. Learn why President Kennedy started the Alliance for Progress because America was the most hated nation in our OWN hemisphere.

Howard Steven Friedman: Goodbye Chavez, America Never Knew You

News of Hugo Chavez's death is spreading rapidly. In America, we can anticipate a large collection of articles noting his activities, articles that are nearly all a product of our American/corporate view of the world.

These American articles will be mostly negative, a one-sided portrayal of a complex leader who was beloved by much of his country, admired by large parts of the world, but nearly always portrayed in the American media as a one-dimensional character.

American articles will talk about when Chavez led an attempted coup, they will talk about his friendship with Castro, Ahmadinejad, Putin and other leaders, and they will reference his famous "devil" quote about George Bush but they will steer away from hints of Chavez's accomplishments.

These articles will not mention the fact that Venezuela has made strong steps in education and health. The expected number of years of education rose from 10.5 years in 2000 to 14.2 years by 2011, no doubt driven by the Missions that Chavez championed. Venezuela's life expectancy increased from 72.4 years to 74.4 years during that same time period.

These articles might mention that Chavez pushed through legislation to change the presidential term limits possibly even accusing him of being authoritarian. These articles will probably not mention that Chavez has been democratically elected with popular margins and higher turnout rates than we have seen in the U.S. in decades.

These articles will talk about poor prison conditions in Venezuela but not mention that Chavez pardoned those who attempted to overthrow his democratically elected government in 2002.

These articles will mention that his government benefited from a rise in oil prices but are not likely to mention that he used those inflated oil revenues to support citizens of many nations in need, including Americans in need of low-cost heating oil.

Representing 1.7 million Americans who were helped by Hugo Chavez and CITGO. Joe Kennedy II went to every US oil company asking for help to provide heating oil to the poor and elderly. They all said no. Hugo Chavez, CITGO and the people of Venezuela said YES.

Joe Kennedy II Mourns Chavez

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Former U.S. Rep. Joseph Kennedy II is mourning the death of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, saying he cared deeply about the poor.

Kennedy, who heads the heating assistance charity Citizens Energy, said nearly two million people in the United States have received donated heating oil thanks to Chavez.

Citizens Energy distributes oil to lower income families in 25 states and Washington, D.C. It offers 100 gallons of free oil per family. A Kennedy spokesman said Chavez and the Venezuelan people have donated about 200 million gallons of heating oil over eight years.

Kennedy said Chavez cared about the poor when "some of the wealthiest people on our planet have more money than they can ever reasonably expect to spend."

Kennedy, a nephew of President John F. Kennedy, said his prayers go to Chavez's family and Venezuela.

And then you wonder why the right calls the Progressive Dems like Kennedy, Socialists and Marxists and Communists.
The Dictators of the world like Chavez care for the poor, no they only care for the poor to get votes for them, with Government hand outs just like the Dems do here.

Under Chavez it is true that the poors living standards improved.
But look at what happened because of his political policies.
Thousand fled from the Country.
Income capital fell 35%
Poverty rates jumped from 33% to 49%
There have badly managed Government programs.
They have soaring street crimes.
Frequent power outages.
High inflation
The jobless rate went down only because he doubled the number of state workers
There are social programs infused with political ideology.
One example - people now have free medical check ups but they have to participate in workshops on how to defend the Chavez revolution.
They have State news and television, that means no free speech.
Oh yeah right he is for the poor so that makes it OK
Way to go- Dictators of the world unite, because we are for the people. NOT.
