#2 Is a civil liberty basically the kind given by government? The term's seemed rather squishy.

At any rate, if expropriating private property doesn't infringe on one of those Civil Rights, what the hell are they supposed to cover?

(That's as opposed to my God-given Rights which our Constitution acknowledges and protects.)

#7 This is really sad. Venezuela has resources going for it. It has a lot of things going for it. But Chavez has manipulated the voter base, bringing in the poor and downtrodden, etc etc. So for responsible government does not have a chance, the way things are set up.

With illegals getting the vote, etc etc here, we in the US can wind up with the same thing on the installment plan if we are not vigilant.
