Totalitarian Progressive, Hugo Chavez, has recently been granted emergency powers by the old Congress before the new one (that has a larger number of opposition) is sworn in. Sound familiar? He is doing what his Socialist compadre and fellow 3rd world liberation ideologue, Barack Hussein Obama, would love to do, redistribute the wealth. Taking advantage of a the rainstorms that has caused floods, he has created a 2.3 billion fund to supposedly assist those effected.
CARACAS (Reuters) – Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez made his first use of new decree powers on Sunday to create a $2.3 billion fund for reconstruction after widespread flooding that left more than 130,000 people homeless.
The South American OPEC member nation’s socialist leader has infuriated opposition parties and been criticized as a dictator for assuming fast-track powers for the next 18 months that will enable him to rule by decree and bypass parliament.

But critics say the president has cynically exploited the disaster as an excuse to outwit opposition parties who were due to take a larger share of seats — 40 percent — in the incoming National Assembly which convenes on January 5.

In reality, Hugo Chavez will use this fund to enrich himself and his cronies. That’s what Progressives do. They take advantage of disasters and use them for political gain. He also will be able to bypass a less friendly Congress where the opposition made gains.
Barack Hussein Obama wishes he could do this. Then again with elitist Rockefeller Republicans like the useless Mitch McConnell and crybaby metrosexual, John Boehner, he might not need emergency powers like Chavez. The Republican leadership is so weak they will crumble before him.
Tonight I will have a new Hugo Chavez song, were he sings to the flood victims.
Update: The Democratic Party has actively colluded with Chavez’s allies the FARC.
A hard drive recovered from the computer of a killed Colombian guerrilla has offered more insights into the opposition of House Democrats to the U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement.
A military strike three weeks ago killed Raúl Reyes, No. 2 in command of the FARC, Colombia’s most notorious terrorist group. The Reyes hard drive reveals an ardent effort to do business directly with the FARC by Congressman James McGovern (D., Mass.), a leading opponent of the free-trade deal. Mr. McGovern has been working with an American go-between, who has been offering the rebels help in undermining Colombia’s elected and popular government.
The modern Democratic Party is evil.
