An editorial columnist for the Detroit news raised eyebrows among the liberal journalist establishment by filing this unflattering piece on Communist dictator Hugo Chavez after returning from a 10-day trip to Venezuela. It details how Chavez has decimated the country in just a few short years with his “21st Century Socialism” which causes food shortages, encourages criminality in the poor and hordes oil wealth. It comes complete with pictures of the empty grocery shelves and spray painted propaganda.

Second Hand Conjecture has an interview with the author where he exposes the hypocrisy of rich celebrities carrying water for Chavez, calls Joe Kennedy a “lapdog”, and tells the truth about life under a Marxist dictatorship.You must read both pieces, if only to refute the outlandish claims of the American hating left about how much of a paradise Venezuela is.
