Bowing to kings… offering “new beginnings” to communist dictators… and shaking hands with Hugo Chavez. All in a days’ work for Obama. In the meantime, Iranian nuclear development continues undeterred and North Korea restarts its nuke program. The long-term repercussions of nuclear armed rogue states will be catastrophic for the United States, just as will be economic assistance to our long-time enemies such as communist Cuba.

Just today, Venezuelan strongman (president) Hugo Chavez, who has actively sought to undermine the United States all over Latin America, told Obama: “I want to be your friend.” Once again, the enemies of freedom have posed for a photo-op with the world’s most famous person, all smiles and holding hands. I’d rather get shoes thrown at me. What would it mean if the United States became part of the Chavez-Castro axis? I can only suppose that it would mean the victory of Bolivarian Socialism in the Western Hemisphere and the end of American liberty. We already have a rash of nationalization occurring before our very eyes. We already have one-party rule in Washington. We already are passing a budget that redistributes wealth and punishes productivity.

At least we still have the right to vote and petition the government for grievances… I urge all Americans to exercise this right as much as possible before it’s too late.
