In a recent interview with ultra liberal HBO show host, Bill
Maher, Sean Penn stated that anyone who called Hugo Chavez of Venezuela a dictator should be jailed. It is obvious that Mr. Penn too frequently enjoys the free speech allowed by the First Amendment of our Constitution, but he simply will not tolerate anyone else having a go at it. It is amazing that someone who has enjoyed all that America has to offer can spew such insanity from his over-sized gas hole. I seriously doubt Mr. Penn has ever read the Bill of Rights or the U.S. Constitution. Maybe Mr. Penn does not know what a dictator is. Just FYI, a dictatorship is defined as absolute authority over a state or country, with no opportunity for opposition. If Hugo Chavez is not a dictator, then please point me in the direction of anyone in Venezuela who has the power to oppose him. Just today, Chavez arrested and will undoubtedly execute the only remaining anti-Chavez television station owner in the country. In 2007, the Chavez-controlled Congress passed a legislation allowing Chavez unchecked power, hence a dictatorship. Chavez quickly acted to "re-make" the country, nationalising all media, utilities, banks and other essential industries. Chavez collapsed any element of free market exchange and plunged the country into poverty. He tripled the taxes on the "rich"of the county in order to fund sweeping government welfare programs (sound
familiar?). The only thing left of the Constitution of Venezuela after this point was the "tit", which Chavez provided to his people in return for their personal freedoms.
So, lets recap- unlimited power, total oppression of opposition, extinction of all personal freedoms, nationalization of all industry, confiscation of private lands and businesses without compensation and military backed rule. Hmmmm, I think Hugo Chavez is definitely a dictator of an oppressive Marxist regime. I think Sean Penn ought to WAKE UP and figure out where his money and media power came from. He made movies in a capitalist economy. He shoots his mouth off in a FREE country. I honestly believe that it is in America's best interests to relocate Sean Penn to Venezuela.. Or perhaps he could be bunk mates and shower buddy of his good friend,Suddam Hussein. I am not saying that Penn should be punished for his opinion, I just believe that he might be more comfortable with his own kind. Or better, yet let's all stop throwing our American dollars at this Anti-American garbage spout. Penn is an arrogant, ignorant, small man, who, if not for Hollywood, would be ignored completely. If we can't send Penn to Venezuela, let's at least send him into obscurity!
