As in the song "Lawyers In Love" we have a land, a nation with too many in high places willing to do anything for money neglecting people, honor and principle but a change is coming. No more falling for the lie of living only individualistic and independent lives leaving us divided and conquerable by powerful special interests but a people, a nation collaborating for the greater common good in various groups all across the nation. A land of people working together to help one another with a vision moreover as Jesus would have us be. Love, Mercy, Forgiveness, Kindness....something about another Land. The change is coming

The Truth On Criticizm of Chavez and Venezuela

Instructed by major oil companies, Bush and Co.,(our government?) and the corporate owned republican based major media begin it's demonization of Hugo Chavez, president of Venezuela, because he is playing hardball with our oil companies and in part because of an ideological fear of Venezuela's social democracy or that is, it's state control of OIL.
Now so many American citizens sit by taking in what this media gives them knowing little about Chavez or Venezuela but now going around parroting the media criticizing Chavez because they have been told they are supposed to be against Chavez. Pat Robertson becomes the instrument to influence the public mind by stating Chavez should be assassinated with the powerful inference that if Robertson would say that then Chavez must have at least done something terrible.
So our clergy sell themselves off to bear false witness for the interests of the most powerful nation on earth and Robertson is probably not the only one as we no doubt will soon see in our southern clergy.
The media show Chavez being friendly with Castro of the smallish Cuba, not that U.S. presidents ever associated with Soviet or Chinese leaders, and call him a socialist even though that is a U.S. propagandized lie because they want to create a wedge in public opinion against him so the U.S. can begin to get away with trying to illegally overthrow a 3 time internationally sanctioned democratically elected leader, only why? He is playing hardball with U.S. oil companies in order to underwrite his social democracy. Oh the horrific crime! Bush ideology is being molested and U.S. oil is being abused in return for the same.
The misleading U.S. media say he is promoting his socialism to the rest of South America but that is a lie because he is promoting government more comparable to social democracy, not socialism, and it is akin to what we have now in Europe only Bush and his wealthy corporate interests want to keep the South Americans vulnerable and in the dark with regard to our exploitation of them or in other words we want control of the oil regardless of the social conditions of a country.
A disciplined social democracy keeps the lid on excessive corporate greed and we are crying about it like spoiled uncontrolled children. Unbridled capitalism is often destructive and the Venezuelan people have seen it.
The truth is that men do not need an unfettered, uncontrolled economic environment in order to be motivated to prosper. People generally desire to be successful and happy, not filthy rich but for those that do want it all it is time to grow up and be responsible. The conditions in South America do not warrant our brand of capitalism because it is so easily exploited by those in power there but our government does not care, it wants conditions to exist so that it's corporations can go there and exploit and reap excessive profits.
Chavez is a hero for his people and should be known as such by the American people. Chavez moreover is a Christian that helped develop the Venezuelan constitution, invoking in it's first two lines, the protection of God(something U.S. patriots only imagine we have) and guaranteeing freedom of religion and the Venezuelans are a Christian God fearing people with conservative family traditions that we here in the U.S. should be so fortunate to have retained but have rejected because of our greedy crass materialistic rebellious babylonic culture.
In the face of all this Chavez has offered us food, medical and oil supplies to help alleviate suffering from the devastation of hurricane Katrina and it is public relations and an olive branch but most certainly quite a development in light of some U.S. religious leaders.
Will we Americans be in service to God and behave that way or be in service to money and behave that way? The choice is ours..
