"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." - President Ronald Reagan

Some thoughts on Chavez, Colombia & US-Latin America relations!
On Sunday night, we discussed Mexico, the US-Mexico border and Latin America with Ray Glaser of The Heritage Foundation.
IBD recently posted an editorial: A Gangster With Oil
It touches on General Henry Rangel Silva, a man recently promoted by Chavez to general-in-chief, the top position in the Venezuelan military command.
IBD does not mince words:
"The promotion shows Chavez is surrounding himself with drug lords. Most leaders would expel someone with those credentials.
Not Chavez.
He almost seems to be flaunting Rangel and others like him.
One can only conclude that Venezuela is now a narcostate."
