Hugo Chavez's friends

We should be limiting Hugo Chavez's anti-democratic impulses to Venezuela. Instead, certain Americans are helping him spread his totalitarian ideology to Colombia and elsewhere.

Why would Democratic members of Congress do this? Same ol' reason: If a Republican president is for something, even if it is good, the Democrats will find some fake reason to oppose it.

(Republicans have played the game, too, but Democrats have taken the cynicism to levels of hatred so counterproductive they risk the liberty of whole nations.)

It's time to pass the Colombia Free Trade Agreement. Those blocking it are threatening the political freedom of Colombia and all of Latin America.
