The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

[scaeagles]

Chavez of Venezuela made an interesting speech at the UN. While I won't go into what I thought of it, I loved our UN ambassador Bolton's comments about it, which was something to the effect of "He can say that about ou President standing in the middle of central park if he wishes, as could anyone. I'd like to remind him that if someone said those things about him in Venezuela they'd be shot.".

Criticize the President all you want. But at least don't use prison and death sentences to silence your own vocal detractors.
