On
the Monday broadcast of "The 700 Club" two
weeks ago, Pat Robertson said of Venezuela's Hugo
Chavez, "We have the ability to take him out,
and I think the time has come that we exercise that
ability."
Would
that qualify TV preacher Pat Robertson as a case
study for intelligent design?
Well,
not exactly.
First
off, it's not Pat Robertson’s private war to
fight.
It's
not some religious fatwah edict, either.
Later
in the week, Robertson apologized for the statement
and said, "I didn't say 'assassination.'"
"I
said our special forces should 'take him out.' 'Take
him out' could be a number of things, including
kidnapping."
Rev.
Robertson was telling the truth with his statement
warning about Hugo Chavez.
Human-rights
advocates and Amnesty International have been
warning the world community about Chavez, but those
pleas have fallen on deaf ears in this country. Bush
is afraid of Venezuela's Chavez and his stranglehold
on the U.S. economy due to our lack of a progressive
energy policy.
More
to the point, Chavez is a Marxist dictator, who
despises the United States and is deliberately
driving up oil prices on the world market to cause
detriment to democratic governments and damage their
citizens' standard of living.
It's
the classic Marxist philosophy of using class
warfare, but Chavez's stage is the global
marketplace, and his goal is dominance with
petroleum production and reserves. He is a new breed
of free-trade autocrats using oil barrels and
globalization economics as weapons of war.
However,
Chavez has fueled his socialist revolution on ethnic
minority hatred. He is an evil man. Chavez has
attacked his country's free market system and the
predatory oligarchs while professing to champion the
country's brown-skinned pardos.
In
the book World on Fire by Amy Chua, the
author describes Pardos as "a highly
unscientific term, with both class and ethnic
overtones, referring loosely to brown-skinned people
of multiracial ancestry, usually with traces of
Amerindian or African blood."
Chua
describes Chavez's political intent as an urgent
expropriation of "idle land of the agrarian
elite" and to "redistribute it to the
Venezuelan people."
His
party is named the Movement of the Fifth Republic -
which is a coalition of leftist and communist
organizations.
An
estimated 40,000 to 50,000 Cubans are in place
within Venezuela's communist government keeping
dictator Hugo Chavez in power.
Robertson
accused Chavez of using Venezuela as "a
launching pad for Communist infiltration and Muslim
extremism."
It's
been rumored that the Chavez regime is funding the
Islamic terrorist organization Al-Qaeda as well as
South American Marxists who make the most of
terrorist tactics to achieve their radical political
ends.
Fox
News reported that Robertson said, "Is it right
to call for assassination? No, and I apologize for
that statement. I spoke in frustration that we
should accommodate the man who thinks the U.S. is
out to kill him."
Case
closed.
Next
time: The Associated Press better call Uncle Sam's
911, not Pat Robertson's 700 Club, before spreading
the butter on that white bread.
Communist
cabal
In
the past, Chavez has been party to a mock
anti-imperialist trial of the United States. He
calls himself anti-Bush, but Chavez is
anti-American.
At
the trial, he said, "I have come to denounce
180 years of harassment. I have come to denounce 200
years of aggression."
Chavez
has called President Bush an "a--hole."
Honestly,
Americans needs to read more about the Venezuela's
human-rights abuses, the growing numbers of
political prisoners and numerous reports by Amnesty
International.
The
oil profits are not going to the people, but his
private bank account.
On
Tuesday, the AP reported on a critic objecting to
Robertson's statements, the Rev. Barry Lynn, the
executive director of Americans United for
Separation of Church and State, who said, "It's
absolutely chilling to hear a religious leader call
for the murder of any political leader, no matter
how much he disagrees with such a leader's policies
or practices."
Oh,
Rev. Barry! Please grab a blanket if you're chilled,
then take two aspirin and call the doctor in the
morning.
But
first, can you please tell us ...
Why
not call for a national day of prayer for the
Venezuelan Christians who face persecution and for
those of Spanish or European ancestry and other
light-skinned minorities in the country - known as
the Mantuanos, who constitute 20 percent of the
population?
As
well as those Venezuelan citizens who love freedom
and democracy.
Why,
Barry, why not pray for them? Communism is human
enslavement.
Oh,
I forgot about that separation of church and state
paradox!
The
Washington Post reported
that Chavez said in a joint appearance with Axis of
Evil Iranian President Mohammad Khatami, "Iran
has every right to ... develop atomic energy and to
continue its research in that area. All over the
world, there is a clamor for equality ... and
profound rejection of the imperialist desires of the
U.S. government.
"Faced
with the threat of the U.S. government against our
brother people in Iran, count on us for all our
support."
Oh,
duh! For whom the bells toll.
Minority
report
The
Blue Dog has been appalled by the liberals and
Yellow Dog Democrats who are selling out our country
by supporting the Chavez regime, while denouncing
Pat Robertson as some sort of Christian right-wing
nutcase.
Pandering
by the anti-American Democratic left wing - the
agent provocateur to worldwide Socialism, Marxism
and Communism - saints and TV evangelists, preserve
us!
CNN
reports, "Chavez called the United States the
'most savage, cruel and murderous empire that has
existed in the history of the world.' "
Last
week, The Washington Post reported that
"Chavez's Fifth Republic Movement party won
some 1.3 million votes, or about 30 percent, with
other pro-Chavez parties accounted for the
remainder."
Thirty
percent is not a majority! Chavez won his election
by playing the ethic race card, which pitted the
dark-skinned poor against the light-skinned rich,
but more so, once elected, Chavez disbanded the
Congress and the Supreme Court, stopped
privatization of the oil industry, outlawed large
landholdings and guaranteed worker benefits to
housewives. He also threatened to nationalize the
country's banks.
Chavez
enacted a new constitution to initiate his Marxist
wealth-distribution philosophy, which will
ultimately lead to famine and economic chaos.
Chavez
recently called Cuban dictator Fidel Castro's
government a "revolutionary democracy."
What
the heavy-eyed socialist daydreamer! Get a reality
grip, because Cuba is a communist nation. And
Venezuela is on the verge of re-entering the dark
ages.
With
the United States importing 15 percent of the
nation's oil from Venezuela, Chavez's threat to stop
selling oil to the United States is nothing more
than economic warfare.
Chavez
has declared, "either we dismantle American
imperialism, or the imperialism will put an end to
this planet."
