If [God] knows what we are going to do then we have no free will and are just characters in a play written by him. Without free will, morality for humans makes no sense. Without free will and morality, any sort of punishment or reward system loses any justification. Heaven and hell would be places where [God] could watch the souls he created, predestined just for eternal happiness or agony. - Mark Thomas

... the friends and alies of Chavez are doing the traditional big corruption: Venezuela is crushing civil liberties, Brazil is about to reelect a mob of thieves to the federal government, Bolivia is stealing gas refineries from Brazil, Argentina is skyrocketing the public debt,... The lesson: if you can't produce sound policies, produce strong sounding declarations.

It's not that bad by now. The economy improved a lot since last year. In the beggining of 20th century Argentina had one of the highest standards of living in the world, better than most of Europe and better than any other country in the southern hemisphere. They still have a very good level of education even today. But they've been downhill since after WWII. They're recovering from the big breakdown in 2002, but are still far from their days of glory.

Its the result of internal polling by the dems. The public was reacting very negatively to Chavez so the dems came out to counter it. It won't be enough though, the damage has been done. It is chrystal clear who the dems are associated with politically and intellectually.
Thank God for disproportional force.

What I don't get is...For all the Democrats' effort to expand constitutional protections to the most lurid of foreigners, why are they now saying that Chavez does not have 1st amendment protections?

Fine, as long as you vote the same for all the other partisan trollers on this board. Hopefully you didn't miss the opportunity to vote down those posts where Chavez is framed as a spokesman for the Democratic party. Or did you find those to be appropriate?

Ironically, the Democratic leadership admitted that Chavez's comments were inline with theirs...But he didn't have the right to express them since he's not an American.

Harkin said the comments were "incendiary", then went on to say, "Let me put
it this way, I can understand the frustration, ah, and the anger of certain
people around the world because of George Bush's policies."That's a defense of Chavez. It dismisses his remarks as vented frustration.

I disagree. It's just a rationalization, like saying, "I can understand why the woman shot her abusive husband".

Rationalization is defense. It's intent is to come up with a valid and excusable reason for an act.

As in Rangler said that only Americans (specifically him, since he once called Bush a "Bull Connor") have the right to use that kind of vitriolic rhetoric against the president. That's incongruous with their platform of extending constitutional rights to terrorists in Guantanamo Bay.

Wrong. Rationalization is used to seek an understanding of the possible reasons behind an act. It does not defend the act or the person performing it; it only looks at why it could have been done. And that's a good thing. It's a lot easier to dismiss the act as wrong and the actor as irrational for doing it (especially when it's someone we don't like).

It's intent is to understand what could have caused the act.
