Cindy Sheehan & Chavez

Venezuela Dictator Vows To Bring Down U.S. Government

Venezuela government is sole owner of Citgo gasoline company

Venezuela Dictator Hugo Chavez has vowed to bring down the U.S. government.
Chavez, president of Venezuela, told a TV audience: "Enough of imperialist aggression;
we must tell the world: down with the U.S.. empire. We have to bury imperialism this century."

The guest on his television program, beamed across Venezuela, was Cindy Sheehan,
the antiwar activist. Chavez recently had as his guest Harry Belafonte, who called
President Bush "the greatest terrorist in the world."

Chavez is pushing a socialist revolution and has a close alliance with Cuban
dictator Fidel Castro.

Regardless of your feelings about the war in Iraq, the issue here is that we have
a socialist dictator vowing to bring down the government of the U.S.. And he is
using our money to achieve his goal!

The Venezuela government, run by dictator Chavez, sole owner of Citgo gas co.
Sales of products at Citgo stations send money back to Chavez to help him in his vow
to bring down our government.
When evil is allowed to compete with good, evil has an emotional populist appeal that wins out unless good men & women stand as a vanguard against abuse.

I haven't either for years.

Nor am I offended that Exxon has a $0.09 per gallon profit margin. I am offended that the government vilifies Exxon when they take something like $0.67 per gallon in taxes.

And I really feel for you guys in the U.K. who are paying something like $3.00 per gallon in taxes.
Aren't you the guy who hit me in the eye?

Cigs here as well. Huge taxes on those, depending on the state you're in.

Wanna hear something funny? The state I drove through with the lowest gas prices was Oregon, where you aren't allowed to pump your own gas, and some of the most liberal laws in the nation. I thought that with the station owners having to pay people to pump the gas, that theirs would be at least as high, if not higher, than CA and WA.
