The draft of the new law states: “She is sacred, fertile and the source of life that feeds and cares for all living beings in her womb. She is in permanent balance, harmony and communication with the cosmos. She is comprised of all ecosystems and living beings, and their self-organisation.”

Any adult who has the time to spend thinking up this sort of twaddle must be spending his or her life hunched up, head-between-knees, inside a womb.

Yes I was out of line by using sharp language on Gary – I APOLOGIZE for that.

But I can not stand Marxism – especially not vulgar Marxism (“United Fruit company influence led to ……”) and as they have murdered over 150 million people over the last century, I beg for a pass (over my bad temper) when someone comes up with Marxist B.S.

At least we did not have the “Dulles boys were Nazi’s” Marxist agitprop that exists over at wikipedia.

No doubt he was just lying about them being Marxists as well – he was really on the board of the United Fruit Company.

Although, of course, I am wasting my time.

John Foster D. (and his brother Allan) had many faults – but basing policy on the interests of the United Fruit Company was not one of them.

You just do not have a freaking clue.

When I was young I would have tried educating you – but at my age I no longer care about morons such as yourself.

One day you may understand it all – but only when you have first hand experience of the rule of some of your Marxist hero figures.

It should be noted that all evil derives from the belief that the end justifies the means. Stalin, Hitler, Kissinger, Mao, Pinochet, Suharto, Franco, Kim Jong Il, Pol Pot, Mont, etc…all driven by the same contempt for humanity and belief that their aims justified anything they did.
Ultimately all ideologies, like all religions, are failures and you have to be very, very stupid to believe in any of them. They’re all crap in their own special ways.

Chavez is indeed a demagogue who squandered his early promise, his original nationalism (good) has been clouded by the disease of ideology (bad). The others are varying mixtures and shades of Chavez-lite, but Rousseff and Kirchner (a Keynesian) are pragmatists who undeniably preside over booming economies whose growth exposes the economic incompetence of their Western counterparts. Clearly the West needs more clotheshorses and “pathological liars”.

Let’s look at recent/current Western leaders and politicians:
Cameron: PR man, never worked in a proper job. No comprehension of real world or its complexities; lives in a upper middle-class fantasy land. Smug.
Brown: Mishandled everything, managed to pick out all the worst elements of various ideologies and meld them into a cluster of idiocy.
Sarkozy: A vain man married Carla to enhance his image. Personifies everything people despise about the French male.
Merkel: Asexual frumpy bore. However, only Western leader with economic success.
Obama: Careerist, corporate whore, like pretty much all US Presidents. Bush Lite.
Bush II: Never worked in a proper job, Corporate Welfare sponger. Jobs and wages stagnated and fell under Bush. Plagiarist; Used Google to write his memoirs.
Nick Clegg: Daddy got him a job. Shallow and two-faced. Unfair to single him out, though; he’s the same as everyone else on this list, motivated by vanity and ego.
Berlusconi: Corrupt, egotistical, vain, stupid, greedy, like many of the above has never done any real work. Everything Silvio does is purely for his own benefit. Vile.
Barroso: Pen pusher.
Dominic Strauss Kahn: Unelected, elitist autocrat, heads anti-democratic, elitist organization, a tool of the bankers. Adulterous, arrogant, cowardly, overpaid.
Brian Cowen: Utterly incompetent, obedient servant of the bankers. Presided over a nation which doesn’t make anything, and so won’t be doing anything. He has stocked up on potatoes.

BTW Seeing as some are so quick to comment on utterly absurd laws, what about the Price Anderson Act?
Or are some so-called Libertarians here going to defend that?

Ortega: child rapist
Castro: tyrant
Chavez: thug
Rousseff: pathological liar
Correa: drama queen
Lugo: oily religious hypocrite
Kirchner: clothes horse
Morales: batshit

A meeting of this lot would run like a sequel to The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra. If these are “personalities”, then God help us all.

No, check that, this is Zimbabwe crazy.

Nope, missed it again, this is North Korea crazy.

Bolivia is about to stop playing well with others. Expect the forced migrations and mass executions within five years.

Arbenz was moderate left, and the United Fruit Company was not even using the land.
Arbenz also sold his own land to his people, making him that most rare phenomenon; a politician who was not a hypocrite.
If the UFC wanted to protest, it should have done so using its own money instead of sponging off the US taxpayer, because it was Mr. Taxpayer who paid for the corporate welfare coup. The Dulles committed treason IMHO by using the American taxpayer to enrich a foreign entity (UFC).

Also, let me point out to you that the International Monetary Fund destroyed Argentina’s economy (50% in poverty). Guess what happened to Argentina after it kicked out the IMF. It’s economy grew.

As I said, contrast the pathetic spinelessness of the Irish in contrast to the Argentines who showed that the IMF is wrong about everything and is an utter irrelevance and has no place in the world.
Argentina has 10% growth, whereas Ireland is now a laughing stock. When the IMF is through with asset-stripping them, they won’t even have potatoes.

The moral of the story is don’t let foreigners control your economy or your country.

Cui bono? Cherchez l’argent.
