Comments on: Chavez Calls Bush 'The Devil'

In U.N. Speech Accusing U.S. Of Pillaging The World

[ontheprairie]

The US has grown by following disciplines, rules and laws, and by sharing, and aiding other countries.

We shouldnt throw out discipline and courage to stand for good quality education, crimes against our children, the Pledge of Allegiance, health care, and preparedness for crisis.

The media depicts the US like tolerant love children.

It is the right time for maturity, to show respect and preserve what the founding fathers and freedom fighters before and afterward have fought for. It may involve awakening for those that have fallen asleep or fallen off the wagon or indulged in undisciplined lifestyles that they, their families and the country are paying dearly for, but it also the time for those that have not fallen asleep to not lose good quality, protectiveness and pride that this country has always stood for. It is always the time to stand as an example for those that need it.

Does the following excerpt sound like anyone that affects your personal life?:

"A major factor in his success is Dubya's apparent mediocrity. The man is at best a lackadaisical administrator, a "big picture" guy who delegates all of the detail work to subordinates and only wants to be bothered with final yes-no decisions."

Jul 1986 George W Bush gives up alcohol on his 40th birthday. As he explains it later to friends, Laura had given him an ultimatum: "It's me or the bottle."

Bush managed to make a reputation for himself as a 'good old boy'. When is it not ok for a good old boy to make some mistakes? Is it when he becomes President of the United States? A good old boy, reformed alcoholic, rich party boy is bound to make some mistakes.

How much do we tolerate?

At my place of employment, a government service agency, I was serving customers on 09/11/01. I know we were responding to our customers needs in a heartbeat that morning and every day. Our mission statement is: To protect children and promote adult self-sufficiency.

In an earlier position, when I answered the phone for the agency Area Director and management, the Area Director asked that the phone be answered in 2 rings. So that's what I did. The Area Director's office was across from my desk and I knew that he answered or would respond to every call that came his way.

Why would President Bush ask of the country at any time what he was not willing to do on 09/11/01 ? Why did he sit for 20 minutes with a group of school children when he could have set the example that he expected of millions of other Americans - to rise to meet the needs of America?

Past US presidents have led lives that were much more corrupt than Bush. Bush has had to be the top example in an America that is waking up, reforming, making changes from what has been the norm. And rightly so he must provide answers to the American people as that example.

Hey SuzyQ! What's the difference between calling Nations "axis of evil" or calling the President diablo?

[crosbystills]

Let's not forget that Chavez offered help to the Katrina victims, long before FEMA reacted! I agree with Hugo, about Bush talking to the world as if he owned it! Let's face it folks... the longer GW and the boys are in charge, the worse things will get between the US and the world! I'm an American, and I don't like the "diablo" either! We are not the strongest nation in the world! If they cut-off our oil we are in a world of hurt. I'm begging you all to vote Democrat or Independent, in the upcoming election! We need a hero, and it isn't coming from the GOP!

[emhawks]

I don't like Chavez. I do think he's right on target about Bush. I just wish he had included Cheney because he is THE main force behind the majority of this adm.'s policies & actions.
I fear Bush much more than Chavez, but I fear Cheney more than any of them. So should every American who loves this country!

[sharncedar]

Disappointed with Chavez. This is dumb rheotic worthy of Bush himself. What is it to say someone is the "devil", just a dumb statement. This is the kind of junk that Bush and his murderous thugs put out there to fool the small minded or less educated.

[ronniehm]

alphaa, I totally agree with you.

[suzyqzy66]

It is disgraceful for a diplomat like the President of Venezuela to use the United Nations in this way. How embarassing to the people of Venezuela.

[bellal-2009]

MH4CBS1, Yea, you're right Bush is the Devil. He's scarier than Saddam Hussein, Ayatoh Komheini,Chavez,Castro,Achmedinejad, and Hitler combined. Good God, how did it happen that he won the election twice. Oh yea, he's Satan. That explains it all. Now i GET IT.

[mh4cbs1]

Finally, someone (Chavez) calling it as it is! No wonder Bush and the corporate media demonize him, marginalize him. CBS did not report a single word about the substance of Chavez position regarding the US. They call it a "regime" even though he was elected by large margin (unlike the Bush "regime").

Face the facts, Bush rules soley by instilling fear and exploiting 9-11. He favors the super wealthy at the expense of ordinary citizens. He LIED in order to Invade an (oil rich) nation that was NOT a threat. Tens of thousands of innocent civilians have died. Hundreds of Billions wasted. Why is CBS to afraid to call Bush ranting and fear-mongering a "diatribe"?
So why is Chavez, who is standing up to the usual US exploitation, in the interests of his citizens, someone to be afraid of? I fear Bush much more that Chavez, and so should every American who loves their country.

This Chavez has no teeth compare to Bush. Bush made mistakes in Iraq which hurts us, Americans. Because it costs American lives and capital. We has Saddam under control with the "No Fly Zone." Again, it was unwise to dismantled the Iraqi army after we successfully removed Saddam. A big mistake. They are the insurgents we are killing now and they have killed 3000 Americans. However, I am grateful for Bush's war because it has given us an opportunity to kill tens of thousands of Arabs. Arabs who were killing their own during Saddam. As for Chavez, he must have syphilus. He acts crazy and is a very ugly male. He thinks he is some world leader. He may have desires to war against his neighbors in South America and the reason for befriending other losers like the Iranians and Syrians. So they can help with money and weapons. Cubans cannot help Chavz, they have a reputation of surrendering like the Iraqis and French...remember Granada. LOL I see that Chavez will end up like Noriega. In a US prison or dead in a gutter, like Che Guevera. Chavez carries a big stick but has no teeth, he also acts like a coward. Typical thug. America needs to pull all investments from that country as it was done in Cuba. And let them all end up living in the past, which they so much enjoy as the Muslims do.

[alphaa10-2009]

Interestingly enough, Bush 41 traded insults with Iran long before Bush 43, himself, labeled Iran part of the "axis of evil". However, Iran began the match, calling the US the "great Satan" after its hostage seizure in 1979. On hearing this epithet, much of the world wondered whether this was merely an overly enthusiastic interpretation. But no, the Iranians really had concluded America was the physical embodiment of evil-- at least, from their perspective.

Of course, for Bush to stick out his tongue and call Iran evil in return is hardly a measure of diplomacy. Now, Venezuela has joined an alliance of convenience with Iran, and magically has begun talking the same line-- even if replacing a fatwa with making the sign of the cross. And so it goes...

[bellal-2009]

I think we can all agree on one thing and that is we should NOT support this man's presidency in any way shape or form and that would includ buying any of his oil.

[sniyer1]

I think that Chavez is more and more an enemy of the U.S.

I think the White House shouldn't allow Chavez in the U.S. again for what he has said about Bush. He's really like Fidel Castro.

[thgdriver]

Beleive what you will, that,s what makes us great, if we all agreed, think how dull it would all be. I'll ask one question and then go to bed. Just curious, how "MAD" would you be if a close relative was on one of the planes or in one of the buildings on 9/11 and never got out?

Be a smart American, lets get the bad guys and not each other.

[lollibop]

You do realize we are at war?

[lollibop]

Technico, you're scary. Are you serious or just trying to ruffle feathers?

[elaire26]

frbruce,

You quote JFK, then talk about us helping other nations?? The only oppression that is going on is on us. You claim Iraq was oppressed, well what's the difference now? We're just as, if not more oppressive as Saddam was. You ask what will it take to believe they want to kill us? Well, I believe that, as we continue to bomb the *** out of their nation? Molest, rape, murder, and abuse their men, women, and children? Yeah, I'd be mad, too. You ask, 'What will it take to unite this great nation again'? REalizing that it's not a whole 'my team vs. your team' mentality (ie. dems vs. reps), that they're both in bed with each other, and wake up to the truth. It's hard, but the real terrorists are in office in America. They have been since the Clinton Admin., who also sponsored terror in the U.S., going as far as to burn down a church and murder most of its members for owning firearms... yeah, second amendment is dead...

Technico

[elaire26]

Hey thgdriver,

First Amendment is dead, along with most of the constitution, is dead... The same tyranny you say is in Venezuela is just getting its feet in America... Have you heard of 'free speech zones'? That's the new freedom we have in America... we can say what we want as long as its in a free speech zone... or be put in a FEMA camp like the protesters in NY, Seattle, etc...

Internet? Free Speech? Why do you think Mr. Gonzalez wants to have our internet records now?

God, I love the new freedom,

TEchnico

[thgdriver]

Well one thing is clear, this loud mouth is able to come to OUR FREE country, use OUR FIRST amendment and condem OUR country and leaders. I say to all people of the United Nations who think he is so GREAT, try doing the same to him in Venezuela and watch what happens to you. One thing sure. We'll never see or hear from you again.
The USA should have disbanded the United Nations long ago, or at the very least, pulled our money and membership.
