Washington was one of history's greatest men, who helped establish a system that, for all it's faults, has grown and prospered and become the envy of the world.<BR/><BR/>Bolivar established a system which over the years has fragmented and given way to constant bloodbaths and one tin horn dictator after another, with the only all pervasive constant being abject poverty and degradation of the masses for the benefit of a small handful of wealthy elites. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately, Bush seems all too sincere to me, as the road he seems to be on is more conducive to the Bolivar than to the Washington legacy.SecondComingOfBasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03336586430250490679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11704331.post-91657554316780023512007-03-16T21:53:00.000-05:002007-03-16T21:53:00.000-05:00The closest I've come to liking Idi Amin, was hopi...The closest I've come to liking Idi Amin, was hoping Forrest Whitaker took home the Academy Award.

But a moment comes when it is no longer funny when the economy is destroyed, and the corpses start pilling up.<BR/><BR/>Left's blind love affair with bloodthirsty Thirld War dictators continues. But beware, there was no Internet in the 1970's, so all those leftists who were singing (mostly verbal) praises of Idi Amin didn't leave much evidence. Now, your praises of Chavez are well recorded and will be thrown back at you once the shit really hits the fan in Venezuela and true, psychopatic nature of the Chavez regime is revealed.<BR/><BR/>Then again, if Chavez becomes another George Washington, I will have some crow to eat as well...
