Venezuelan opposition march

El Leon:

The Fez answer (seriously) is that he is a leftist and therefore evil, so he must be removed from power no matter what.

The real answer is that he's probably not a dictator, although some of his actions during the strike have certainly been despotic. Whether or not they are justified is another matter.

[El León]

So once again we're back in one of those

"You don't think like me therefore you deserve to be eliminated situations".

Joe McCarthy should rest assured with Mussolini, Stalin, Franco and so many others. Different ways thinking are still persecuted...

[Giancarlo]

The sole fact that he organizes these groups, Bolivarian Circles, makes a case for him to be elminated from power. The Army should go out and arrested every single member of those groups because they cause nothing but bloodshed. The protesters don't have guns, the Bolivarian circles most certainly do.

Chavez should be eliminated because he is screwing up the economy. Some dictators don't do good for the economy and bankrupt the country and so others do good. But Chavez is one of the worst I have heard of since Mobutu Sese Seko.

It is undemocratic. Perhaps Bush should be rid of because he's screwing the American economy then and install a military dictatorship.

You can say what you like about my beliefs, but you made a statement of fact, which was untrue. The opposition protesters are armed. It was they who started the shooting last April that lead to the attempted coup.

Fact) Bush isn't screwing up the American economy. Wonder where +4% GDP growth is from?

For one quarter, which shows no sign of continuing.

You can't say that. There is something called a economic stimulus bill.

I did say that, and there is no economic stimulus bill. Congress is out of session. The 4th quarter economy is sluggish, and there is a genuine fear among economists here that the economy could double-dip into recession again. I personally hope not, that growth restarts, since growth means work. But right now, we're looking at lower than expected Xmas sales, McDonalds posted its first quarterly loss in it history (as McDonalds Corp, they lost money in the early years), and we have 6% unemployment.

[Giancarlo]

A double dip is out of the picture. Growth will restart. Infact this was a very mild recession. McDonalds slumped because they have no innovation.

6% unemployment isn't bad... it was worse in the last recession.

Come on Fez, where's your argument? You say Sweden will be bankrupt in 10 years - prove it.

What about all the other countries that run with significant Welfare states? I mean countries like the UK, New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Germany, France, etc. All you right wing half wits have said for years that such countries will go bankrupt, but none ever have (not even my own NZ, despite claims made in the US media). In fact all have significantly lower crime and poverty rates than your beloved United States. Do you care to dispute these facts?

Come on, loser, where's your argument? All we get from you is bland assertions. Why should we believe you? You seem to be full of ****, prove us wrong. Why does trickle down economics work, why is state involvement bad? Without some defence of these claims your posts are just pissing into the wind.

Or, are you just another uneducated fascist peasant, who's somehow gained access to the internet? Or are you just scared to engage in argument, given the fact that 90 percent of the population appears to be smarter than you.

[Giancarlo]

Agathon, I try to avoid personal attacks but I notice you haven't at all.

Light state interference, (for example law), is necessary. But anything more than light is unnecessary.

[Dr. Nick]

Bush should be overthrown, his economic policy is piss poor. Let the generals take over, I want the Pentagon to be the seat of the US government.
