So what if it fails a 1,000 times? Maybe Change will happen on the 1,001st time. Hope we can believe in." So what if slamming my hand in the car door has hurt in the past? So what if it hurts the first 1000 times. Maybe it will stop hurting the 1001st time. Hope we can believe in. I can think of a very good reason not to hope for the 1001st socialist experiment to ever be tried. Copious amounts of empirical evidence tells us that it’s gonna hurt! That it is destructive and that it ultimately causes immeasurable pain and suffering and is incapable of achieving anything beyond equally shared misery. The more I read comments like the one above, the more I am convinced that socialist thought is a synonym for insanity. “So what is socialism has failed in the past? So what if it fails a 1,000 times?

But for fighting and surviving against the system the Venezuelans like me live under you need a little more than a personal will and hard work. Just thought you should know. WestGuard: "My heart goes out to the intelligent classy venezuelans who are stuck with this lowly cretin representing their country. Well I'm not intelligent or classy but I'm Venezuelan and I do feel stuck under the rule of this commander we have... so thanks Joe Cool:

What kind of article is this? The "Real Hugo Chavez." What in god's name are you talking about? There isn't any content. It's all just criticisms with nothing to back it up. This sounds like a piece by someone who has an opinion he wants to express, despite not having any facts. Good luck with your "pretend news" site people. LOL You consider yourself a journalist?

He's berift of class and manners and more akin to an ignorant street thug than a leader of decent people. A parents worse nightmare. He should have gotten a clue when the king of Spain verbally slapped him and told him to shut up. My heart goes out to the intelligent classy venezuelans who are stuck with this lowly cretin representing their country. What a slimy little toad chavez is.
