Blue Star Chronicles

Where was Jimmy Carter today? Wasn’t he going to monitor the elections in Venezuela? If not, why not? He’d have been the man for the job. After all, he’s a self-appointed ambassador to the world and useful idiot for the enemies of our country. Surely his place was at the side of his friend and confidant, Hugo Chevez of Venezuela as Chevez took the Constitution of his country and turned it upside down, twirled it around and abbra cadabbra turned Venezuela into a Marxist state. Just. Like. That.

I’ve mentioned before how it seems that America is the only country in the world that has maintained a republic based on its Constitution since its inception. Today we have had a couple of pretty clear examples of how little power a constitution has in many other countries. We take the succession of power from one to another for granted in this country. We take our rights for granted. Our enemies within have to fabricate tales of having their rights taken away in order to have something to complain about. They have no idea what it is really like to be oppressed. Many in the world could tell us a thing or two about what it really means to have constitutional rights taken away. Putin of Russia is busily working on a power grab and Chevez has pretty much completed his power grab. I believe that he is now President for Life. Sounds like his mentor, Fidel Castro. So much for democracy. So much for freedom. So much for the voice of the people.

Don’t you know that the people of Venezuela and Russia must listen in disbelief when they hear Americans complaining about our voices being silenced? We don’t hear the voices of the people Venezuela or Russia complaining. They aren’t allowed to complain.
