We don't prevent poverty and under-funded education, we fight criminals. We don't prevent the Mideast injustice that drives people to fanaticism, we fight terrorism. And we don't prevent unwanted pregnancies, we fight each other over abortion. Tune in Mon - Thursday at 8e/5p on Current TV http://current.com/shows/viewpoint/ May 1, 2013 8:03 PM

What Do Hugo Chavez, Mother Teresa and Chris Christie Have in Common?

What Do Hugo Chavez, Mother Teresa and Chris Christie Have in Common? When Hugo Chavez assumed the presidency of Venezuela, many progressives around the world were filled with hope. Maybe this guy could do something to help Latin American poverty, but the more the worlds' progressives got to know him, the more his megalomaniacal nutty side kinda turned people off. Chavez disappointed a lot of his early fans and they abandoned ship. I'm pretty sure even Noam Chomsky unfriended him on Facebook.
