My biggest beef is that it was once the store of Made In America, but dropped that hot potato when it became financially advantageous to do so. Still, the great force of evil in the world, when Chavez was given a litany of doubt benefiting? Had Chavez been greatly criticized along with Walmart, that I can handle. But I think it's not too hard to see the winds have changed in some corners of the Catholic blogosphere.

I don't consider looking at only the bad of both groups, or the country as a whole, as non-partisan. It's just another type of partisan. <br /><br />Personally, I worked with a fellow from Argentina for a few years, and he knew people in Venezuela who were anything but thrilled with Chavez. And yet, I doubt they matter. There seems a growing tendency to act as if hating on America is already nearing the Park Place toward beautification.

I don't bother thinking any more about those beyond it other than "the world is better" or "it is worse" without them.<br /><br /><br /><br />(actually speaking of which... is there say... a Catholic thing where you can... I dunno, "lobby" for someone to be admitted to heaven who was maybe taken before they could come to Christ on this side of the veil?)Nate Winchesterhttp://natewinchester.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
