Venezuela had a high turnout. Hugo Chavez won. Surprised? Would it surprise you that there were some things about the election that just wasn't right? Vcrisis.com live blogged the events as it happened.

Folks, it's imparative that we start paying more attention to this dictator to the south. His victory just raised the stakes in the 2008 election. We will have an enemy of this nation for the next 6 years and quite possibly, this is Venezuela's final election.

Our next President better be a strong leader, whether it be a Republican or a Democrat, or we are going to be in a major downfall. May God help us.

Let's get back to American politics. Well, technically, I didn't leave American politics, since Elgordo is in the Americas, but that is besides the point. Let's get back to the United States. I really want to talk about Fausta's recent post, in which, she started talking about how some people consider tattoos sexy. I don't.

I don't consider it sexy when a woman has a tattoo. I don't consider thongs sexy, and I certainly don't consider a girl sexy when she's had more men in her bed than a military base. I hope that I don't get too far off my train of thought, but there was a related story about hookers being killed in Atlantic city that caught my attention. In the story, there is a 23 year old "sex worker" who looks "twice her age".

Folks, what in the world is so sexy about a girl who looks twice her age? Maybe she knows how to satisfy a man, and a bonus, she'll throw in your choice of seven different venereal disease, at no extra cost! Maybe I live in a fantasy world, I don't know. There's just some things that I know that guys find attractive. I want a woman that's a challenge to get. I want a woman who is at my level or better than me.

And I knew I was going to do this, get off topic, a little. I was thinking about hunters and sex. Maybe it's some subconscience desire of mine to go hunt me a little Bambi, the seven year itch, if you will. But there is one thing universal about men, and that one thing is the desire to conquer. It's a desire that all men need fulfilled. Hunters fulfill that desire by going out and hunting. What I'm saying, and I don't have facts to back this up, but I'll bet, hunters are less likely to commit adultry than non hunters.

Which brings me back to the hookers, loose women, et al. Men have a need to conquer. Men need a challenge. When they get a woman who isn't a challenge, they begin to look elsewhere. Hence, why no guy wants loose women.

Which brings me back ontrack. Our society is oversexed, but it goes back to our most innate needs, and sex is the way many people are finding a way to fulfill those needs. It's a self esteem issue. People who are obsessed with sex, do so, because they have not found their purpose in life. Men have a need to conquer and until they find a purpose to their life, will attempt to conquer women. Women have a innate desire to be beautiful, and often, women will confuse sex with being beautiful.

The scary part is that the oversexing of our society is spilling over into publicity stunts. We have stars intentionally exposing theirselves in order to help re-invigorate their careers. Wasn't it enough that stars would check theirselves into rehab in order to get people talking about them again? This pass week, we had Louisiana's own Britney Spears expose herself three times in one week, and one of those days she actually bought panties.

God forbid if this becomes the norm for politicians to do this in order to get media attention. Could you imagine Nancy Pelosi showing the world that she doesn't smuggle classified document like Sandy Berger does? Or Hillary Clinton showing us that she would bring piece to the Middle East? Worse yet, can you hear Helen Thomas's apology? "I was so stressed out about the possibility of Dick Cheney running for President, that I forgot to put panties on."

I enjoy sex as much as the next guy does, but at least I don't have to act like I discovered it yesterday. Sex is supposed to be an enjoyable part of life, not the purpose of it.

The good news and bad news for Gov. Blanco

First, the good news. The good news for Governor Kathleen Blanco is that she probably won't be the worst candidate for Governor of Louisiana. With the field getting crowded with candidates more suitable to take the oath of office more so than her, it could only serve as good news that attorney Hardy Parkerson from Lake Charles wants to get into the race. Pipe dream, I know, but I've lived in this state to know that something happens to people here on election day. They seem to get the choice between the two worst candidates. Mitch Landrieu and Mayor Ray Nagin are examples as is, William Jefferson and Karen Carter. At leat if Karen Carter wins, she'll probably escape being investigated, but only because the powers that be will ignore it as long as possible.

But the bad news. LSU was apparently headed to the Rose Bowl, so in her save the day fever, Governor Kathleen Blanco decided that she would make some calls, you know, pull some strings. LSU is now going to the Sugarbowl.

I'm not saying that her calls caused LSU to miss the Rose Bowl, but she obviously didn't help them. You know, after witnessing how she helped the hurricane victims, and how she helped LSU go to the Rosebowl, and how she helped John Kerry win Louisiana voters, I think I'd rather have my arms and legs ripped out than receive help from her. Even her "Road Home" program hasn't been very effective, and she needs it to be. Where else is she going to get voters from?

I share the same last name as the governor and at the rate she's going, I'm either going to have to change my last name, or get a concealed weapons permit. She seems to get worse, leaving Louisianans shaking their head, anxious for election day, so that we can get somebody new. The one thing positive that can be said about Governor Kathleen Blanco, is that she's consistent. Everybody understands that whatever her solution ends up being, we know it ain't gonna work and it's going to be very costly to the state.

They went to serve their countries. They went to stand on the front line of defense. Many of you never served. That's okay. For whatever reason you didn't go, I'm sure that it's justified. Remember, they must stand on that wall of defense so you don't have too. If anybody owes anybody anything, it's those of us who didn't go, while they sacrificed a part of their life to serve their country.

I think we owe them a bit of gratitude. So take a few minutes to say thanks

Now I know some of you out there don't like our men and women who are serving overseas. You'd rather send them into the middle of a war, tell them to keep the peace, and have them wait until fired upon before they fire a single shot.

Truth is, they aren't cowards like so many of us who sit around waiting for the next war protest. We act as if war is so horrible, denounce it as if there is no justifiable reason to go to war, when the truth is, you were too much of a coward to go and to justify that very cowardice, you try to demean the men and women who are far better than those of us who didn't go.

Truth is, those men and women do more to keep us out of war, than you will ever do with your silly 'holier than thou' war protest. They know more about how to win a war, and how an enemy ought to be treated, and exactly what kind of people they are fighting against. They don't need you, nor do they want you, telling them how to their jobs. Quite frankly, if you wanted to decide how war should be fought, then why aren't you there? Shouldn't you lead by example? You know more than they do, go!

You think going to the park, sitting in the sunshine, protesting the war is going to get a thank you from anybody? Only the enemy. You think pulling us out of war wins peace? You win a war for the enemy. Do you really believe that peace was won by the Vietnam War protestors? Ya think the people that we slaughtered after that would agree? What they successfully accomplished is removing an obstacle to victory out of the way for totalitarianism. What they successfully did was allow wars to get created. They encouraged the enemy to fight even harder. Today, you accomplish the same.

Nobody owes you a thank you. You, more than anybody, needs to kneel down and kiss the soldier on his ***. The least you can do is say thank you.

Alo Venezuelanos,

Solo quiero decirte, si, se puede! Elgordo Chavez no quiere que ustedes tiene la derecha para leer mi blogsitio "Conservativo De Louisiana". Mi gusto hablar de cosas muy bien, como libertad, vida, y mas libertad. Cosas que Presidente Elgordo no quieres para ustedes.

Domingo es la dia, y Lunes va a ser la dia de libertad.

Quiero Mucho,

Conservativo De Louisiana

Don't nit pick my spanish, it's not like the people of Venezuela are going to be able to read it. Look on the side bar, it's prohibited for the people of Venezuela to read it.

Sunday is the big day, and though I said Monday is the day of liberty, me thinks Monday is when the real election in Venezuela begins. Regardless of the outcome, I don't think that there will be peace in Venezuela. Me thinks they are doomed to a revolution.

That's a real smart move, right? Something like this should be said at least six months in advanced, right? Isn't that how politics is? You see, if I had said this six months ago, it would be forgotten that I had ever said it, if I'm wrong. If I'm right, boy, I can point to it and brag about how smart I am. I remind you how right I was all along.

But two days before an election? The smart money would just keep their mouth shut and wait for whatever happens on Sunday, then they'd tell us how they knew what was going to happen all along.

Hugo won't go peacefully. If he loses, he'll accuse Manuel Rosales of rigging the election. It's the Democratissocialistischavez's way. Personally I think the paper ballots are going to be stuffed with votes for Chavez. Chavez has no plans of losing this election and will do everything in his power to ensure that he remains President.

Think I'm kidding? Remember Sore/Loserman? Did you see Mexico today? Watch Mexico tomorrow. Just a preview of what' going to happen in Venezuela should Chavez lose.

What if Chavez wins? If Chavez wins, this will be the last election for Venezuela. Chavez wants to force a one party system and he'll use the victory as a mandate to do so.

Chavez has said he wants his revolutionary movement represented by a single party after Sunday's election but has also stressed that he would always tolerate an opposition.

He has also sparked comparisons to Castro by launching high-profile land confiscations, seizing private companies and taking control of oil projects previously run by foreign firms.

The DeChavez Code

The more I learn about Smartmatic and Sequoia Voting Systems, the more odd that it gets. Any novelist out there need a great idea for a story? We got it here. Only this time, it's for real.

I'm really surprised that the blogosphere hasn't picked up on this. Is this the same blogosphere that exposed Dan Rather and ⁱCBS? There is a medium-high possibility that Elgordo interfered in our elections and there's mounting evidence in this. Can you believe, it's coming from the MSM and not the blogosphere? What happened? I take a very long vacation from blogging and everything is turned upside down? Democrats winning, MSM actually reporting the news, what happened? Britney Spears expose herself again?

Update: So, we are going to play a game called The DeChavez Code. Like The DaVinci Code, you'll have to figure out the story, within the stories. In the previous post, there are some facts that will help you solve the problem. Can you solve the mystery?

I'm going to tell it to you like gossip, or a story. Oooh, if I tell it to you using puppet or dinosaurs, would you believe me then? I'll just tell it too you like gossip.

Dude, check this out. I was surfin the internet and I seen a gooder one today. George Bush and the Republicans are sending rigged voting machines to Venezuela. I saw that and I was like "DUDE! Bush is stealing an election!" I was so mad at Bush, I had to smoke a bowl. I can't wait until 'Orgasm for Peace day', I hope I can get a clean girl this time.

So you won't believe what I found out next, those Sigourney Vote machines allow the Republicans to vote more than once! I was like "Dude! Bush tried to steal the election in California!" I was so mad, I wanted to smoke a bong, but since I was still feeling good from the bowl I smoked, I thought about Britney Spears. Dude, I forgot to send her an email, I was hoping she'd be my partner for 'Orgasm for Peace' day.

Anyways dog, what were we talking about? Oh yeah, Bush stealing elections. I found out that the owner of Sam, uh the company that makes machines for Bush was in

Palm Beach when they stole the election from Gore! I was like, "Dude! That dude helped steal the election from Gore!". I was so mad, I wanted to march into the streets and protest, but then I remembered 'Orgasm for Peace' day.

Dude, it makes me so mad just talking about it, I need a joint, you got one? Oh yeah, I forgot! Check this out! Now Bush wants to blame that President who criticizes Bush for being evil. It's like, Bush is always doing things like this, he must be the dumbest President in the history of the United States. I saw that and I was like "Dude, Bush hates Latinos!"

Now, is the story believable enough for you? You want me to through in some UFO's too? How about if we got Dan Brown to write the story then say he did his research. Will you believe it then?

Corrections are being have been made

Most of you are already aware of my utter disdain of these two dictators, but what you probably did not know is this.

The HuChavez Code

What if you could control the outcome of any election, anywhere in the world?

While people are still fascinated by 'The DaVinci Code', a story in which the facts are easily debunked with just a few minutes of research, another story is being uncovered that is real and the stakes are much greater. The fate of nations rests on this. What we leave behind for posterity, depends completely on our thirst for knowledge. It's a story that I will let you do the research. I will post some facts, and let you solve this mystery. If you choose to swallow the pill, there is no turning back. Truth is stranger than fiction. So let's begin the first great mystery of the 21st Century.

Let's start with Sequoia Voting Systems, let's follow the trail, see what exotic countries it takes us too.

Fact - In various areas of the United States, there were election irregularities involving Sequoia Voting Systems

Colorado Election Irregularities
More irregularities

Fact - Sequoia Voting Systems is owned by Smartmatic Corporation, the co-founders are Venezuelan.

Antonio Mugica, Bitza Corp, 28% ownership by Venezuelan gov? 04 Nov 2005

Fact -Election results 41% voted Hugo Chavez out, 58% voted to keep Hugo Chavez as President. That election is widely viewed as being rigged.

Nyah, Nyah, Nyah

Fact - prior to that election, Smartmatic never built voting machines.

Inexperienced, but delivering a safety net to Hugo.

Fact - The Hugo Chavez ran Venezuela gave Smartmatic, home based business with no experience, $120 million to build the election machines.

Even the New York Times is picking up on this

There are more facts concerning Venezuela, Smartmatic, and the United States elections, do some research.

Fact - Hugo Chavez is trying to influence elections throughout South and Central America with the intent of placing Anti U.S. leaders in power.

In Nicaragua
Ecuador

Fact - When you purchase Citgo gas, you are purchasing from Pdvsa.

Citgo-PDVSA

Fact - PDVSA is owned by the Venezuelan Government

PDVSA-Venezuela State ran.

Fact - Venezuela confiscated oil refineries in Venezuela from a French Company. (Can not confirm at this time, Lexis Nexis search should confirm.) Confirmed

Fact - Hugo Chavez is building up his military and they are loyal to him.

Russia begins shipment of fighter planes to Russia

Other Reports being ignored by the MSM

WASHINGTON – Pentagon officials have confirmed human smuggling rings in Latin America are attempting to sneak al-Qaida operatives into the U.S

Al-Qaida south of the border

Hugo protects Hezbollah in Venezuela?

Fact - It was reported in January 2003 that Hugo Chavez gave Osama Bin Laden 1 million dollars for his work on 9-11

Defector: Chavez gave $1 million to al-Qaida

Fact - Britain's secret intelligence service, MI6, has established the first proof al-Qaida is playing a major role in the new Cold War between North and South America

Confirmed Al Qaida Coming To America

You may not think we are at war with Venezuela, but Hugo Chavez is at war with us.

You may not think he's a threat to the United States, but our ignorance allows him to gain more power and influence everyday.

There is something you can do. There is something that each one of us can do, or not do.

Venezuela exports 1,000,000 barrels of oil to the United States everyday. Only Canada, Suadi Arabia, and Mexico exports more to the U.S., Iraq is 6th largest, importing about half as much as Venezuela.

When we purchase Citgo gas, we aid Hugo Chavez. We invite war, our destruction, the death of American freedom. It's time for each American to stop buying Citgo gas.

Brain Bullets (to keep the cerebral uzi cocked and loaded)

"Actual happiness looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand." -Aldous Huxley

A couple of years ago, I'd see this older white lady walking up and down the street. She was very nice, in fact, one could say she was very generous, even liberal in what she would give away. She was a thrill seeker, and for a few bucks, she'd thrill you too. Enough men, and probably some government agency giving her money meant she didn't have to work. Which she was too busy partying to be bothered with work, anyway, so I guess it worked out well for her.

I never forgot this woman, forty something years old, getting into fist fights on a daily basis, always looking for her next high, and her boyfriend was even nice enough to find the men who needed satisfied for her. I remember the day that shocked me, the day I found out that she was only 24. We often think happiness is thrilling, exciting, the new high, but when we travel down that path we find much more misery, pain, and our bodies takes it's toll. We grow old before our time, but our minds never mature.

Happiness isn't about staying happy all the time, or as often as possible. It's about settling down, finding your purpose in life, accomplishing goals, earning respect, gaining knowledge and the greatest joy is in seeing that knowledge passed on and practiced. It's not glorious, the highs are much further apart, but once you know your purpose, those joys suddenly are less important.

"Only when we are no longer afraid do we begin to live." -Dorothy Thompson

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." -Helen Keller

I believe I have said it here, but I know I have said it elsewhere, you can not live life by avoiding death. If you want life, go live! We all know somebody who is so worried about living that they spend most of their time worrying about things that could kill them. They want more laws on the books, let fear stop them from taking on new adventures, and safe in everything they do, but in the end, we all find ourselves taking a dirtnap.

The way I look at death is simple. Either there is a God, or there ain't. If there ain't a God, we won't know we died, when it happens. If there is a God, then you'd better have your business with him taken care of before you go see him. I have my business settled with God, so there's nothing left to fear. Life was meant to be lived, and live it, I shall.

"God grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right, even though I think it is hopeless." -- Chester W. Nimitz.

When I first started this blog, I looked around the world and did not like what I saw. I looked at a Republican Presidency that appeared to me to be far away from my beliefs. Most of my allies seemed to have abandonned our core values. I thought I was alone, and never felt more so. It was the coldest part of my life. I didn't see anybody else standing up for what I believed, so I did. Alone if I must. I fought through the weakness, the coldness, the loneliness, and I began to type away.

They say, if you stand still long enough, the world will come back to you. When I stood up, I could see beyond that which was blocking my view. I saw, I was not alone. When you're sitting there wondering why everything is wrong, stand up for what's right, alone, if you must.

I remember when I was working on my last job and one of my customers was blind. He asked how much he owed me and then reached into his pocket, pulled out some cash, and gave me the correct amount. Bills mind you, I was astonished.

In fact, I did not believe he was blind. I assumed that he was pretending to be blind to see if I was being honest. As it turned out, he was actually blind. So I asked him, how did he do that? How did he know how much to give me? Turned out, he kept very good track of his money, knew exactly how many bills he had, what bills he had by feeling them and counting them.

Point is, blind people can adapt.

But there is another point that I'd like to make. Actually two.

First, are you as sick and tired as I am that some government official deciding against the idea that all men are created equal? This time it's a judge telling us that blind people can't do something. Everytime I turn around, somebody else was somehow born inferior to the rest of us. Seems to me, by the time we get used to the latest discrimination, there is a new type of discrimination. We find new depths to our inabilities.
