President Hugo Chavez was sworn in for a new six-year term Wednesday, beginning what he has called a stronger push to remake Venezuela as a socialist state.

Chavez took the oath of office at the National Assembly five weeks after a sweeping re-election victory he has said will allow him to pursue more radical changes, including plans to nationalize "strategic" power and telecommunications companies

Raising his right hand, Chavez said: "Fatherland. Socialism or death - I swear it."

Remind me again, why anyone's thinking about invading him.

Socialism is a bad thing? And is Canada next?

Socialism is bad when you base your 'socialism' on bashing your biggest economic partner. Canada is not next because we don't really want to own Canada until our global warming plan is finished...:devious:

Yeah, and he'll stop selling it if we piss him off because goodness knows he doesn't need the money. :lol: It's all noise and face time. He's not a moron, he knows he's gotta keep the oil moving and he knows we'll keep buying it. This noisy shit makes him look tough, costs him nothing and helps get him in good with the OPEC powers that be. Smokescreen, plain and simple. :shrug:

And I heard recently that Citgo is changing its name precisely because of the impact felt by people not buying their gas because of him. But I forgot what they are changing it to...
