Look What They're Doing in Venezuela!


Above, you see a photograph (from Publius Pundit) of a street in Venezuela's capital city of Caracas, thronged with hundreds of thousands of people protesting the regime of dictator Hugo Chavez. Venezuela faces a challenge to democracy from Chavez that is very similar to what Russia faces from Putin (in fact, Putin and Chavez are pals just like Krushschev and Castro used to be), but here we see the difference between Venezuelans and Russians: The former are prepared to take risks for democracy and to build a better future for their children. It seems that the latter are not. Not only have we never seen such a scene in Russia, we cannot imagine there ever being one.

WINNY: Indeed, quite glorious.

UGLY: You are a deluded, dishonest maniac. There is no coup d'etat going on in Venezuela now, only elections. I'm talking about Russians going into the streets en masse to support a candidate who opposes Putin in the next election. I'm talking about participation in a peaceful political process. I'm talking about valiant mass demonstrations for democracy. Your attempt to change the subject to a coup d'etat is just plain pathetic, and clear proof that such a thing will never happen in Russia.

Please provide proof of people being machine-gunned in Russia in October 1993. Otherwise, I'll dismiss you as an obnoxious liar.

When Yeltisin bombed the parliament, the vast majority of Russians sat at home like cowards, just as they did when there was a coup against Gorbachev and just as they have always done and from the looks of things always will continue to do until Russia is no more.

I wonder if that fatuous birdbrain Jimmy Carter will blow into Caracas on the 3rd to certify another rigged Chavez election?

Sadly, there is no shortage of amoral lefty politicians in the west that will carry water for the world's thugs.

NIKOLAY:

Oh, have I exhausted your regal patience, my little insane egomaniacal lunatic? Gosh, I'm sorry. What are you going to do, send some radioactive poison my way, you crude little thug?

You see my dear idiot, AMERICA ISN'T RULED BY A KGB SPY AND DOESN'T HAVE A DECLINING POPULATION OR AN AVERAGE SALARY OF $300 PER MONTH. So, even if Americans were not actively protesting, they could afford this luxury, Russians can't.

But in fact, Americans particpated so fundamentally in their revolution that a governement was established that has lasted for more than two centuries. Russians sat on the sidelines like cowards and their governments drop like flies.

And in fact, Americans are far more active in protesting than Russians to this day, even though their society is far more successful so their need for protest is less. If you were even remotely literate, you'd know that any comparison between American opposition to the Vietnam war and Russian opposition to the wars in Afghanistan or Chechya instantly shows how lemming-like and cowardly Russians really are.

As for peaceful protests by Hezbollah, I'm delighted to see them if they are occurring (you don't link to any news about them, failing once again to contribute a shred of substantive value, as is your pathetic wont), they only go to further show that even terrorist organizations are more civically energetic than Russians. I've never said a single word to indicate that I disfavor such protests when directed at American, and you are pathetically disigenuous cretin to suggest otherwise.

PS: It's the mark of a wretchedly minor intellect that you cannot defend Russians on their merits, but can only resort to attacks on other countries. That's the tactic of the failed Soviet "man" and the reason Russia finds itself in such woeful conditions today. In other words, with friends like you Russia needs no enemies.

....a distraught Rutskoy called on the U.S. to bomb the Kremlin.

But, did they ever show up? If you are implying, in any way, that the US military was on the side lines then, you are a liar. Can you even provide a verifiable link to Rutskoy's phone call, as a fact?

The vast majority of American colonists were at home in their beds, as one would expect, during the Boston Tea Party. It's a pretty small harbor and cell phones were in zero supply. But, they were there in full force for the ensuing four years of the War of Independence because freedom is a process one remains engaged in and ever vigilant in defending.

Amusingly, with no independent tv stations in existence in Russia anymore thanks to Putin, an issue that has no one behind the "barricades" this time, the Russians are getting Putin or Son of Putin '08 again. He who controls the airwaves control the debate.

But, you knew that.

As far as the organized Syrian backed Hezbollah mob in the streets of Lebanon, it's an attempt to shut down the freely elected government. They may pull it. So, it should be a satisfying week for you.

NIKOLAY: By the way, why did you lie on your blog and say that Kavkaz Center was closed? Here it is, alive and well: http://kavkazcenter.com/eng/ Don't you ever get tired of lying?
