Eating Socialist Arepas'

At least Chavez knows a socialist when he sees one.

Chavez Responds to Pres. Obama: We Would 'Eat Socialist Arepas' Together

CARACAS, Venezuela - During his most recent blanket television broadcast, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez took the opportunity to embrace President Obama, inviting him to join him in the construction of a new world order.

Chávez was responding to President Obama's recent quip about diverting Air Force One in order to pay Caracas a visit. Leaving a NATO summit in Portugal, the president joked, according to a tweet by CBS reporter Mark Knoller, about having "AF-1 fly home via South America so he could visit Hugo Chavez."

"Well, Obama, if you said that," Chávez remarked, "we'll receive you here. I'd shake your hand again."

Chávez went on, jovially stating that, were Obama to pay him a visit, both leaders would “sit down to talk, to eat socialist arepas,” a corn-based pancake popular in the country.

Does one really think that the president of the US can moderate his beliefs?

Not a chance.

It's going to be a rough two years ahead.

Cuba to cut 500,000 from state payroll

Communist Cuba will shift hundreds of thousands of state employees to the private sector in 2011 as the government prunes more than 500,000 workers from its payroll.

The official trade union federation said on Monday that eventually more than a million jobs would be cut.

“Job options will be increased and broadened with new forms of non-state employment, among them leasing land, co-operatives and self-employment absorbing hundreds of thousands of workers in the coming years,” the union statement said....

I just hope that a few American socialists are watching as well. On second thought... I doubt it. On third thought... I hope a bunch of American patriots are watching... and understanding what they are seeing... and realizing where the current "progressives" in this country are desperately trying to take us.

Consider and ponder.
