That depends. Do you go to Citgo gas stations? You probably care at least a little if that is the case.I make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio -
Citgo is often the cheapest, yeah.
Then again, can you really buy gas without indirectly supporting some despotic jerk or another?

Even with this, I think Hugo is better than whoever rules Saudi Arabia or Ahmadinejad.

Given that the retail margin on gas in the US is basically 0, I hardly think that frequenting citgo adds up to supporting Chavez.Originally posted by DinoDoc

I forgot Canada exports oil (because Canada is developed and exports a lot of other things), sorry.I need a foot massageComment

Norway exports oil too, fwiw.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Re: RCTV should have been shutdown
You're damned right those anti-CIA TV channels should have been shut downOriginally posted by Jadeli
With all of these neocons that overblow the protests that happened after Hugo turned this channel off, let's just look at the facts for a minute:
1) The channel's license expired, so the Venuzvelan government has the right to shut it down.
2) The channel was a fascist crock that deserved to be put away.
Looks like the neocons are insecure that FOX news might get shut off in the same manner. Frankly, I'm all for it.
