This is the End, I agree with you....I thought so too. I'm having a hard time explaining myself today so bear with me, but that was my point. On the one hand, he feels the politicians/leaders are corrupt, but on the other he is making comments that mirror their talking points, which is why I asked how he arrived at his conclusions about leaders of other countries. This administration and the main stream media who have supported their agenda all along, continually blast these people.....they want Ron to think bad of them. It makes their job of setting their own goals that much easier. Check something for me the next time you listen to the news, listen closely to their descriptions of various leaders. You will hear radical leftest when describing Chavez, radical Ahmadi-Najad, or perhaps crazy, or nut case. Have you ever heard China being named without being prefaced by "red" or "communist"? I could go on but you get the point. I cannot or do not defend or claim independent knowledge of these people, but I have read a fair amount about Chavez. When I read things not written in the US, or by US allies, or the previous wealthy rulers of Venezuela, he is spoken of very well. He may not be great for some of our investments, but neither is GWB, but Chavez has reportedly done a great deal for the poor of his country. I think most of us would be hard pressed to give positive examples of GB's contributions. I tend to be very skeptical of what I hear these days, from either politicians or main stream media. Most of it will be proven wrong. I meant no slight to Ron or anyone, I guess I just wanted to make a point and did so poorly. Hopefully this was clearer. Cheers,
