Outstanding. It's the most honest Chavista ballot you will ever see.
I recall shortly after the AN passed its enabling law (was it the last one? Seems like they've done it so often I can't keep track) a certain philoChavista stopped by to argue that they were simply following the mandate of the people. I challenged him to show me where in their campaign platforms they promised to roll over and yield everything to Chavez. Naturally, he dropped the argument.
Truth is, though, he was completely right, though I think he was smart not to keep arguing. There's not a single rojo, rojito out there who dares to think independently. Never mind that it is an absolutely useless management style. Even if Chavez had the best of intentions (stretch the imagination....might be easier in the abstract - imagine a President of Venezuela with the best of intentions), Venezuela would still be a mess.
1979BP, are they dummies to begin with, or are they dummies simply because they put their brains in neutral and stop thinking? Makes little difference in practice, but it does say something about the person.
We should publish a book - Chavismo for Dummies. It would be one of the shortest books ever published, because all it needs to say is:
1. Obey El Comandante. 2. If El Comandante has not ordered what to do in specific circumstances, do nothing and await your orders. Then see Rule #1.
Read and black like this thing? http://daniel-venezuela.blogspot.com/2010/04/19-de-abril-as-dysfunctional-holiday.html
I think all red would suffice. It's for dummies, so you really don't need words. (I think too many Chavistas wouldn't get the humor of "dummies" in the title, anyways.) And with all of just that color, what other purpose would there be? It just screams, "I have this book to suck up to Hugo!"
1) Comments are moderated after the sixth day of publication. It may take up to a day or two for your note to appear then.
2) Your post will appear if you follow the basic polite rules of discourse. I will be ruthless in erasing, as well as those who replied to any off rule comment.
