This thread is proof that American and Christ have become separate. People wishing death on another man because you have a difference in political opinion? SHAME on you, and may God have mercy. Chavez is a good man and a good Christian, far closer to the Jesus described in the Bible than most in this thread. He cares about the working people of his country, unlike American politicians, who only care about the rich.

Get well soon Chavez.
