Venezuela accuses protesters of attempting 'rebellion'

We're referring to an administration that took no action against large numbers of the 2002 coup perpetrators when they re-organized in national strikes and protests shortly after Chavez's brief removal. As Bart Jones put it, "[m]ilitary rebels who overthrew a democratically elected president were on the streets free, wearing their uniforms and openly calling for rebellion against him." There was also little action taken against the media empire that openly agitated in favor of the anti-democratic coup, with the eventual governmental refusal to renew RCTV's license due to their 200+ terms of service violations coming five years later and being met with the same screeches of dictatorship and "suppression" of the press. With that in mind, it would seem peculiar indeed for this administration to have such a radical about-face, and it seems likely that those depicted as mere "protesters" by the Western media are engaging in more substantial and likely illegal destabilization efforts.

With all that considered, a cursory look at the education bill you could find that it is forcing state education.

I'm not entirely sure about it.

If you can find any evidence, then I'd be glad to hear about it

Sounds an awful lot like what the democrats are doing here.

.
 
well, it turns out that a lot of venezuelans really like tea

kinda surprising, actually, you'd think they'd enjoy java

but, either way, you know how angry tea drinking drives over-strong central govts

so la casa blanca put up a web site, flag@diktator.kom, encouraging la gente to rat out their neighbors if they said or did anything pescado

ie, fishy

then, senor chavez declared boldly that those who disagreed with him were responsible for the mess caracas currently finds itself in

so they should all just callate la boca, shut up

so la gente stormed town halls all across the country, from san cristobal to tucupita

and all the parti patrones were shouted down

no mas opcion publica!

down with gobierno!

it got muy caliente, si

no one had ever seen anything like it

LOL!
 
"I want those people who have risen up against the government with a hostile attitude against a legally formed government to know what the consequences are," Ortega warned.

Anyone who was not aware that this man was a tyrant within 30 days of his election will please stay after class for remedial ridicule.
 
There's nothing more amusingly ironic than rightists who supported a man who "won" two disputed elections and was deeply unpopular by the end of his tenure attacking a man who not only won several elections but survived a recall attempt (no such democratic provision exists in this country, incidentally), and continued to enjoy widespread popularity because of his establishment of participatory economic management as opposed to the particularly authoritarian brand of capitalism that continues to exist here.

LOLOLOL!

you're funnier than The aristophanic Prof!
 
Yeah, I think I'll go with this over you. ;)

Even before the December 2006 referendum provided Chavez with a popular mandate to deepen the social revolution, the government had moved ahead to add participatory budgeting and local economic development initiatives called "nuclei of endogenous development" to the educational Misiones, subsidized food stores, and worker cooperatives comprising the social economy.

I knew someone would bring it up, and sure enough, someone did. Impeachment is not a democratic provision in any way comparable to a recall; it is an underutilized mechanism for removal of executives that can only be exercised after specific improprieties. A recall is nowhere near the same; it can be initiated based on popular sentiment.

When does dissent become 'rebellion'.

IMHO this signals the end of Democracy in Venezuela.

Dictator Chavez is no different to those right wing Dictator's he so used to rail against.

Many thanks.

It appears that the Law, which prohibits religious education during school hours, increases access to education for the poor, and guarantees "education as a universal human right," has been blown up by the right to be about 'taking custody of children'.

Sounds a bit like 'Death panels' or 'killing Granma'.

So you think that people rising up against a legally formed government should be legal in the eyes of the government against whom they are rising up? :shock:

He made a point (the US doesn't have a recall process), you tried refuting it ("see: articles of impeachment"), and you were proven wrong. Deal with it.
