Bolivia Nationalizes Natural Gas Industry

Hugo Thuggo Chavez Lite - a.k.a Evo Morales, Dictator of Bolivia - has nationalized the natural gas industry in that country. The international community has the unmitigated gall to act surprised. A communist is as a communist does.

I met Morales when he was still a member of Congress in late 2001... the guy is pure evil and anti-American, anti-Western as they get in SA. Hell, I wouldn't be suprised if he put out the welcome mat for the Taliban dispora.

PS> nice blog, great insights, good writing.

Sangroncito,

We don't call democratically elected leaders dictators

Perhaps Morales was properly elected the first time. But I guarantee you it will be the last time.

What will you say when he, like Thuggo Chavez begins speaking of being President for Life (or at least 3 decades.) When Morales like Ortega during the horrible Sandinista regime of the 80s, refuses to step down from power and squelches all dissent and opposition. What then? Will you speak out against him? Will you tell him to obey the constitution of Bolivia, or will you allow him to make one "amendment" after another to place himself on a perpetual throne? You know that’s what will happen as well as I do. A dictator is as a dictator does.

Oh, and who will the poor slobs that "elected" these bastards come crying to when they want to get rid of them but can't? I won't name the country, but its initials are USA.

They may be in for a rude awakening. We don't have unlimited patience. Personally, I say let Venezuela, Bolivia, and Nicaragua rot. They're making their beds, let them lie in them.

I'm not surprised by your admission that you like the Sandinistas; actually I just assumed it.

Ortega stepped down because the international community and the growing call by the people of Nicaragua for freedom to return left him little choice. I bet he won't make mistake twice.

Quite honestly, I'm ambivalent about "spreading democracy" around the world. I think some cultures are just incapable of it. If people want to live in despotic shitholes, I say let them. It really should be no concern to us. And quite honestly I don't care if the Marxist Brothers (Castro, Evo and Thuggo) like us or not.

The only foreign policy I want is the one that says: "If you do anything to hurt us or our allies, there won't be much left of you. So think carefully about whether you want us a friends or enemies."
